All myths skew the truth... Two thousand years ago, Eros met Psyche. Against terrible odds, romance bloomed, and their love became legend. Two thousand years later, they've yet to find their happy ending. When it looked like Aphrodite would lose her son, she placed a curse on Psyche. To break it, Psyche must make it through three tasks. If she doesn’t, she dies before her twenty-fourth birthday and is forced to reincarnate years later. In each lifetime, Eros finds Psyche, but he never keeps her for long. Fearful his love’s spirit will spend eternity without rest, Eros starts to lose hope. Just when he reaches his breaking point, he discovers that he can end the curse. But to beat his mother, the unthinkable must happen. Eros must become mortal. As he discovers this, a new cycle of his mother’s curse begins. This time not only does Eros have to deal with his waning godhood, but he must also compete with another for Psyche’s love. To make matters worse, Psyche can’t discover Eros’ identity before he’s mortal, or she’ll suffer a fate worse than Tartarus could devise. One way or another, in fourteen days, Aphrodite will lose. Can Eros hold onto his sanity while he does what no god has done before him? Can he keep Psyche safe while also stealing her heart? Will the lovers finally be together?

A Curse of Roses
Author: Diana Pinguicha
Publisher: Entangled: Teen
ISBN: 1682815102
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Based on Portuguese legend, this #OwnVoices historical fantasy is an epic tale of mystery, magic, and making the impossible choice between love and duty... With just one touch, bread turns into roses. With just one bite, cheese turns into lilies. There’s a famine plaguing the land, and Princess Yzabel is wasting food simply by trying to eat. Before she can even swallow, her magic—her curse—has turned her meal into a bouquet. She’s on the verge of starving, which only reminds her that the people of Portugal have been enduring the same pain for years. If only it were possible to reverse her magic. Then she could turn flowers into food. Fatyan, a beautiful Enchanted Moura, is the only one who can help. But she is trapped by magical binds. She can teach Yzabel how to control her curse—if Yzabel sets her free with a kiss. As the King of Portugal’s betrothed, Yzabel would be committing treason, but what good is a king if his country has starved to death? With just one kiss, Fatyan is set free. And with just one kiss, Yzabel is yearning for more. She’d sought out Fatyan to help her save the people. Now, loving her could mean Yzabel’s destruction. A Curse of Roses includes themes, imagery, and content that might be triggering for some readers. Discussions of religious-based self harm, religious-based eating disorders, and religious-based internalized homophobia appear throughout the novel.

Book Description
What's worse than finding a dead girl in your boss's office? Becoming suspect number one in her murder. When my impossibly sexy boss, Mr. Nox, steps in and offers to help I'm initially relieved. But his help comes with a caveat. He wants something in return. Oh, and here's the kicker. He claims he's Lucifer. The devil. A God of Sin. Things don't go my way, and I'm forced to accept a deal with the devil. I know what he wants. I can see the burning desire dancing in his piercing blue eyes. He wants me. And the longer I spend in his company, the more I begin to crave his touch, his kiss, his fierce passion. But if I give myself to him, he may never let me go. He claims that he is cursed, and believes I may be his salvation. I'm starting to wonder if he could be mine. Lucifer's Curse is a steamy fantasy romance with an HEA and fully consensual adult situations. If you like outrageously hot men with Irish accents and big wings, you're going to love Nox. From the author of the best-selling Hades Trials comes a brand new, spicier, paranormal romance.

Book Description
The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything—friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself. While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere—it’s what’s been buried inside her. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin’s help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred—and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. To defeat a rising evil. To remake a kingdom. To undo the mistakes of the past...even if it means destroying herself. Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen—but what does it mean to be just a girl?

Love in the Last Days
Author: D. Nurkse
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0451494814
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
A contemporary requiem--an earthy yet elegant reconsideration of the Tristan and Iseult story, from the former poet laureate of Brooklyn. In D. Nurkse's wood of Morois, the Forest of Love, there's a fine line between the real and the imaginary, the archaic and the actual, poetry and news. The poems feature the voices of the lovers and all parties around them, including the servant Brangien; Tristan's horse, Beau Joueur; even the living spring that flows through the tale ("in my breathing shadow / the lovers hear their voices / confused with mine / promising a slate roof, / a gate, a child . . . "). Nurkse brings us an Iseult who has more power than she wants over Tristan's imagination, and a Tristan who understands his fate early on: "That charm was so strong, no luck could free us." For these lovers, time closes like a book, but it remains open for us as we hear both new tones and familiar voices, eerily like our own, in this age-old story made new again.
