A Kirkus Best of Science Fiction and Fantasy pick for 2019! A Library Journal Best Book of 2019! An NPR Favorite Book of 2019! "Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians When destiny calls, there's no fighting back. Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions. Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world. He's destined to destroy it. Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire. "It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while."—The New York Times A Chorus of Dragons 1: The Ruin of Kings 2: The Name of All Things 3: The Memory of Souls
Legend of the Highland Dragon
Author: Isabel Cooper
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1402284683
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
She wasn't looking to claim the heart of a dragon, but when this bluestocking goes toe-to-toe with a brooding, broken Highland warrior, she'll find just how easy it is for him to make her burn. In Victorian England, gossip is often as precious as gold. But the Highlanders are a more mysterious bunch—and if anyone found out what Stephen MacAlasdair really was, he'd be hunted down, murdered, his clan wiped out. As he's called to London on business, he'll have to be extra vigilant?especially between sunset and the appearance of the first evening star. Mina just wanted to find out more about the arrogant man who showed up in her employer's office. She never thought the stranger would turn into a dragon right in front of her. Or that he'd then offer her an outrageous sum of money to serve as his personal secretary. Working together night and day to track a twisted monster, Mina will come to see a man in love is more powerful and determined than any dragon.

Category : Juvenile Fiction

Pages : 0
Book Description
Silver Tongue's The Legend of the Dragon tears is a fantasy children's book. It uses folklore to bring about the magic that exists all around us. The legend is told through a story teller who brings you into a world full of dragons. You see the fairy tales are real, they are just hidden. Dragon Tears connects a small legend to real life. Sending your family on a lifetime adventure. A message from the author on how the book came to be: Ever since I was a wee little girl, my father would tell me enchanted stories about the world around us generating from stories passed down through family. I have a strong Celtic ancestry. I grew up and became an elementary teacher. I soon realized that many of my students lacked the magical stories. I began to tell them of the dragons, and the magic they possess. Soon I started to illustrate them, and over time this book came into life. This story starts off with a Silver Tongue (an old story teller), passing on a story describing the magic inside the dragon tear. The illustrations are whimsical, not too detailed, mimicking the imagination that occurs when one hears the Silver Tongue's story. My children, as well as my students, love searching for the dragon tears. I love seeing their excited faces as they show me a beautiful stone they discovered outside.

The Fisher Queen
Author: Sylvia Taylor
Publisher: Heritage House Publishing Co
ISBN: 1927051541
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
It’s 1981, and Sylvia Taylor has signed on as rookie deckhand on a wallowy 40-foot salmon troller. Looking forward to making money for university, she is determined to master the ins and outs of fishing some of the most dangerous waters in the world: the Graveyard of the Pacific. For four months, she helps navigate the waters off northern Vancouver Island, learning the ways of fisherfolk and the habitat in which they breathe, sleep and survive. The politics of selling fish, the basics of tying gear, near-death experiences, endless boat troubles, the emotional perils of sharing cramped quarters—all are part of a steep and unforgiving learning curve. Taylor’s story captures the reality of life on a fishboat and documents the end of an era, a time when the fishing industry wasn’t yet marred by unchecked overfishing or hyper-regulation. Her lyrical, simple prose explores the tight-knit relationship of fishers with the west coast’s wild, untamed waters. Her memoir bursts with all the humour and hell, peace and upheaval that is the Pacific Ocean.
