Book Description
She's not their long lost fairy princess. She's their executioner. I'm cursed. Cursed to kill with a touch, and to feel every last emotion of my victims. I was sure my life couldn't get any worse until a man appears in my bed . . . and not in a good way. The next thing I know, I'm waking up in a world straight out of ancient myth, and these freaks expect me to be their executioner. A normal person would run screaming into the night, but there's something about tall, dark and alluring Alaric that's giving me pause, and it isn't the fact that he turns a little feline from time to time. Plus, I can't help thinking that if I finally learn about my parents, I might find a way to break my curse . . . assuming the curse doesn't break me first.

Pages : 197
Book Description
Desperation has consequences. Queen Peydra is in the hole, an unpleasant dark space in a Saiurian dungeon, thinking she may escape the Curse of Royalty only to end her days on foreign execution grounds. Reeling after Anthony reveals his true identity, Queen Peydra’s recklessness initiates a string of events she quickly loses control of. And following a candid conversation with Anthony after their surprising liberation, she finds herself decidedly uncomfortable as she further processes who he is and what that could mean for her determination to face the curse. Her feelings for him begin to interfere with her ultimate goal – to defeat the curse no matter the cost. Less than a year remains while she attempts to harden her heart and desperately clings to a belief that the end of Leonatus’ bloodline means the end of the Protection Dictum in Drayden, and ultimately, hope for those who will come after. In her determination to walk through the valley of death, she concocts an elaborate ruse to protect herself – both from the council’s desires and from her own. With the initiation of her ruse, she begins to self destruct and further alienates her allies who are working to save her from the curse. Will she sacrifice herself and trust High Council to honor what’s written in the Books of Law or will she grasp at any opportunity to escape once the time nears? What will Anthony and her allies do? Will she surrender and trust Maker as she drinks from the poisoned cup?

Cursed from Birth
Author: William S. Burroughs. Jr.
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1933368381
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Being the son of counter-culture author William S. Burroughs is bound to be a trial. After all, the man who frequented lesbian dives and had a fascination with firearms couldn't possibly make that great of a father. Perhaps inevitably, William Jr. (called Billy) referred to himself as "cursed from birth" and in the book of the same name editor David Ohle collects parts of Billy's third and unfinished novel Prakriti Junction, his last journals and poems, and correspondence and conversations to recreate this tortured life. Endowed with the sufferings — but not the patience — of Job, Billy's life was often characterized by tragedy and frustration, although there were also pockets of success and levity. More than just the memoir of a casualty of the Beat Generation, Cursed From Birth provides rare insight in Billy's father, as well as his scene, friends, and times. It also provides an all-too-familiar story of familial difficulties that anyone with difficult parents can understand and appreciate.
