Book Description
Alex, a schoolmistress, is hounded by lifelong friends, Duke Jules and Queen Elena, to use her dormant magic that disappeared in a traumatic childhood event. Typical mages can control one element (air, water, earth, fire), but they suspect Alex is the rumored Crownmage who can control all and assist Elena to retain power. Meanwhile, Anders, a friend of Alex’s dead mother, helps a very reluctant Alex accept her magic. Although Alex isn't the Crownmage, she can change all four elements from one to the other. During her training, Alex discovers that her father is still alive and has answers to why Alex’s magic is so different—but Alex wants nothing to do with him. When Elena's mage council forces a confrontation, the only way Alex can wield power is by clutching her mother's pendant, which goes missing. Nevertheless, Alex will do her best to defeat the council’s mage. On that day, Alex must learn to trust herself. But can she?

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A reimagining of one of Shakespeare's most well-read tragedies, by the contemporary, critically acclaimed master of domestic drama Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global media corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he hands over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan, but as relations sour he starts to doubt the wisdom of past decisions. Now imprisoned in Meadowmeade, an upscale sanatorium in rural England, with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. His take on King Lear, Shakespeare’s most devastating family story, is an excoriating novel for and of our times – an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.

Reeling I sat back in the chair and closed my eyes as I tried to make sense of the nonsense; the power of the blow was devastating: my life had imploded, my world was crumbling around me. I was tying to absorb just having been given the worst news of my life. I was going to die. We are doomed from the moment we’re born. 'I can't choose how to die but I can choose how to live'. (Joni Mitchell). If I only learned one thing in forty-eight years of life it was people only respected you for your strength and never your weakness. I had been weak but never mind, what time left to me would be put to good use. 'It's never too late.' My beloved grandma used to say. Timing's everything in this life, you can more or less do anything you want............as you as you get the timing right.

Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What Melania wants, Melania gets. The former director of special events at Vogue and producer of nine legendary Met Galas, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff met Melania Knauss in 2003 and had a front row seat to the transformation of Donald Trump’s then girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond. As their friendship deepened over lunches at Manhattan hot spots, black-tie parties, and giggle sessions in the penthouse at Trump Tower, Wolkoff watched the newest Mrs. Trump raise her son, Barron, and manage her highly scrutinized marriage. After Trump won the 2016 election, Wolkoff was recruited to help produce the 58th Presidential Inauguration and to become the First Lady’s trusted advisor. Melania put Wolkoff in charge of hiring her staff, organizing her events, helping her write speeches, and creating her debut initiatives. Then it all fell apart when she was made the scapegoat for inauguration finance irregularities. Melania could have defended her innocent friend and confidant, but she stood by her man, knowing full well who was really to blame. The betrayal nearly destroyed Wolkoff. In this candid and emotional memoir, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff takes you into Trump Tower and the White House to tell the funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of her intimate friendship with one of the most famous women in the world, a woman few people truly understand. How did Melania react to the Access Hollywood tape and her husband’s affair with Stormy Daniels? Does she get along well with Ivanka? Why did she wear that jacket with “I really don’t care, do u?” printed on the back? Is Melania happy being First Lady? And what really happened with the inauguration’s funding of $107 million? Wolkoff has some ideas...
