Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Never make a deal with a fae, they say. But sometimes there’s no choice, consequences be damned. As daughters of the Amadis royal family, my twin Brielle and I should have been helping our people rebuild civilization after the War of Armageddon. Instead, our mother does the unthinkable, possibly sparking a new war, and we’re whisked away to another realm to hide us from our enemies. When we return home, we discover our parents are missing, our people have scattered, and every faction hunts the Knight twins. Some are obsessed with claiming our formidable power for themselves. Others simply want us dead. Still, I can’t believe we’re home for less than a day when I end up as Winter Court’s prisoner in Faery. And it only gets worse from there. To protect my sister, I’ve made a deal with a fae that shatters any hopes for my own future. A dark prince ignites something in me that feels all wrong and oh, so right. And then there’s the enchanting princess I ache for . . . yet can never have. Foes become allies, friends become traitors, and one truth emerges with clarity: war is imminent. My only hope to protect everyone I love is to harness the dark power within me—a force that can save worlds or annihilate us all. If I fail to control it, someone else will. But to master it, I must face my most daunting opponent yet—myself. Knights of Souls and Shadows is the spinoff series of the internationally best-selling, award-winning Soul Savers series with over one million books read. You don’t need to read Soul Savers first. This new adventure is a series all on its own, featuring the next generation in their own pursuit to save the worlds—or at least try not to destroy them all. Recommended reading order: A Demon’s Promise An Angel’s Purpose Genesis: A Soul Savers Novella Dangerous Devotion Dark Power Sacred Wrath Unholy Torment Fractured Faith Age of Angels Part I: Awakened Age of Angels Part II: Lost Age of Angels Part III: Marked Sun & Moon Academy Book One: Fall Semester Sun & Moon Academy Book Two: Spring Semester Knights of Souls and Shadows All of Kristie Cook’s books are tied together in some way. To complete the full connection and for the whole experience, you might also want to read: Wonder: A Soul Savers Collection of Short Stories (falls on the timeline before Sacred Wrath) Prophecy of the Wolves: A Soul Savers Novella (formerly Supernatural Chronicles: The Wolves, falls on the timeline between A Demon’s Promise and An Angel’s Purpose) Book of Phoenix Trilogy: The Space Between, The Space Beyond, The Space Within (these fall on the timeline between Sacred Wrath and Unholy Torment) Havenwood Falls: Forget You Not, Lose You Not, Break Me Not, The Collector: Awakening, Savage Salvation (these take place before and lead up to the Sun & Moon Academy books)

Pages : 304
Book Description
"[Jaime] Moyer creates a hauntingly real San Francisco, full of characters you can't wait to get to know better. Delia's Shadow is an engaging debut novel, one that cost me a good night's sleep." —Jim C. Hines, author of Libriomancer It is the dawn of a new century in San Francisco and Delia Martin is a wealthy young woman whose life appears ideal. But a dark secret colors her life, for Delia's most loyal companions are ghosts, as she has been gifted (or some would say cursed) with an ability to peer across to the other side. Since the great quake rocked her city in 1906, Delia has been haunted by an avalanche of the dead clamoring for her help. Delia flees to the other side of the continent, hoping to gain some peace. After several years in New York, Delia believes she is free...until one determined specter appears and she realizes that she must return to the City by the Bay in order to put this tortured soul to rest. It will not be easy, as the ghost is only one of the many victims of a serial killer who was never caught. A killer who after thirty years is killing again. And who is now aware of Delia's existence.

"Throw the book away"

ISBN: 1476605661

Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Children's literature is an excellent way to educate children, on everything from social behavior and beliefs to attitudes toward education itself. A major aspect of children's literature is the importance of books and reading. Books represent adult authority. This book examines the role that books, reading and writing play in children's fantasy fiction, from books that act as artifacts of power (The Abhorsen Trilogy, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Harry Potter) to interactive books (The Neverending Story, Malice, Inkheart) to books with character-writers (Percy Jackson, Captain Underpants). The author finds that although books and reading often play a prominent role in fantasy for children, the majority of young protagonists gain self-sufficiency not by reading but specifically by moving beyond books and reading.
