Pages : 318
Book Description
The cataclysmic Long Night has ended, with humanity slowly recovering from the madness-inducing rule of Harrowers. Out of the ruin of the old empires rise two new powers-the democratic Protectorate of Free Cities and the Dominance of Thrycea, ruled by a dynasty of tyrants known as Storm Lords. Between the two lies a buffer zone of provincial kingdoms, where the powerful nations fight out their differences. And in the shadows, defeated but not destroyed, the Harrowers lurk. In Rivern, the westernmost city in the Protectorate, three unlikely individuals stumble into a complicated plot of murder, magic, and politics. One is a Storm Lord, a young woman seeking an arranged marriage to save her kingdom. Another is a healer turned assassin, whose partner is an intelligent sword. And the third is an alcoholic wizard, who may have accidentally unlocked the key to ultimate power and immortality. Three damaged, flawed individuals face a plot to wipe Rivern off the map. Alone they have little to recommend them. Together they might just be able to win out against the manipulative scheming of the Queen of Lies.

The Queen
Author: Josh Levin
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 031651327X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography In this critically acclaimed true crime tale of "welfare queen" Linda Taylor, a Slate editor reveals a "wild, only-in-America story" of political manipulation and murder (Attica Locke, Edgar Award-winning author). On the South Side of Chicago in 1974, Linda Taylor reported a phony burglary, concocting a lie about stolen furs and jewelry. The detective who checked it out soon discovered she was a welfare cheat who drove a Cadillac to collect ill-gotten government checks. And that was just the beginning: Taylor, it turned out, was also a kidnapper, and possibly a murderer. A desperately ill teacher, a combat-traumatized Marine, an elderly woman hungry for companionship -- after Taylor came into their lives, all three ended up dead under suspicious circumstances. But nobody -- not the journalists who touted her story, not the police, and not presidential candidate Ronald Reagan -- seemed to care about anything but her welfare thievery. Growing up in the Jim Crow South, Taylor was made an outcast because of the color of her skin. As she rose to infamy, the press and politicians manipulated her image to demonize poor black women. Part social history, part true-crime investigation, Josh Levin's mesmerizing book, the product of six years of reporting and research, is a fascinating account of American racism, and an exposé of the "welfare queen" myth, one that fueled political debates that reverberate to this day. The Queen tells, for the first time, the fascinating story of what was done to Linda Taylor, what she did to others, and what was done in her name. "In the finest tradition of investigative reporting, Josh Levin exposes how a story that once shaped the nation's conscience was clouded by racism and lies. As he stunningly reveals in this "invaluable work of nonfiction," the deeper truth, the messy truth, tells us something much larger about who we are (David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon).

"I'm a spider, sugar. My shaper kind doesn't bear that name for nothing." That's not something Alexis Harper dares to say very often. If she did, it might just get her killed. Not that she is an easy mark, but even fools get lucky once in a while. In a world where the magically gifted trueborn rule and the magicless halfborn slog away in the slums, half-blood mongrels like Alex are outcasts--feared and shunned. For most of her life, she has lurked in the shadows, trying to keep her true nature a secret. But the secrecy ends abruptly when she saves two trueborn aristo children from a group of hired killers. Accused of a crime she didn't commit, Alex suddenly finds herself running from powerful enemies, with no one around to trust. Or what about the mysterious stranger who has been following her? He is one of Death's Servants, born and bred to kill at the country's command. Not the most preferable ally, but then, her choices are limited. Soon she has to decide whether she can trust him or not--it's a gamble she might not survive either way. And before Alex knows what is happening, her life is hanging by a silken thread... What readers say ... "WOW! This Book is EXACTLY why I fell in LOVE with the Paranormal/Urban Fantasy Genre!" -- Read Between the Lines "I absolutely loved this book! Once started, I just didn't want to stop reading." -- Elbcrout "After just a few pages you immediately feel like a part of the world, as you are observing from within, watching the events unfold." -- the_survivor "Nyna Queen does an exceptional job diving deep into the minds of her characters, and her imagery and use of metaphors are at the expert level." -- T&S M "I've put Nyna Queen on my author watch list.
