1943. La Germania occupa gran parte dell'Italia e le deportazioni degli ebrei aumentano di giorno in giorno. Fin da bambini Eva Rosselli e Angelo Bianco sono cresciuti come una famiglia, divisi solo dalla religione. Con il passare degli anni si sono innamorati, ma per Angelo è arrivata la vocazione e, nonostante i suoi profondi sentimenti per Eva, ha preso i voti. Adesso, più di dieci anni dopo, Angelo è un prete cattolico ed Eva è una donna ebrea che rischia la deportazione. Con la minaccia della Gestapo in avvicinamento, Angelo nasconde Eva tra le mura di un convento, dove Eva scopre di essere solo una dei tanti ebrei protetti dalla Chiesa. Ma la ragazza non riesce proprio a stare nascosta, in attesa della liberazione, mentre Angelo rischia la vita per salvarla. Con il mondo in guerra e le persone ridotte allo stremo, Angelo ed Eva affrontano sfida dopo sfida, scelta dopo scelta, fino a che il destino e la fortuna non decideranno di incontrarsi, lasciandoli stremati davanti alla decisione più difficile di tutte

Tutti a scuola conoscono Blue Echohawk. Abbandonata da sua madre quando aveva solo due anni, Blue non sa se quello sia il suo vero nome né quando sia davvero il suo compleanno. Ma ha imparato a fuggire il dolore con atteggiamenti da ribelle: indossa sempre vestiti attillatissimi e un trucco pesante. E soprattutto il sesso è il suo rifugio, un gioco per dimenticare tutto, per mettere sotto chiave le sue emozioni. A scuola poi è un caso disperato. Eppure il suo nuovo insegnante di storia, il giovane Darcy Wilson, non la pensa così: Darcy crede in lei, e sa che Blue ha bisogno di capire chi sia prima di trovare un posto nel mondo. E così la sprona a guardarsi dentro e a ripercorrere il passato, a scrivere la sua storia, a dar voce alle sue emozioni. Tra i due nasce una grande amicizia, e forse, a poco a poco, qualcosa di più: un sentimento forte, travolgente, a cui ciascuno dei due tenta in tutti i modi di resistere...

Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them 'til they've time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, 'til the hour. You won't speak and you won't tell, you won't call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn't speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would sell his soul and lose his son to the sky. My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother's words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free. But freedom will require escape, and I'm a prisoner of my mother's curse and my father's greed. I can't speak or make a sound, and I can't wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?

She said I was like her favorite song—something you feel, something that disappears after the last note. I won my first fight at eleven and have been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest thing there is. Some envision heaven as a serene sea, but for me, it sounded like the bell at the start of a round, tasted like adrenaline, and burned like sweat in my eyes. It was the blur of crowds and an opponent who wanted my blood. Heaven was the octagon—until I met Millie, and everything changed. I realized I loved her when I saw her standing still in a crowded room, people buzzing around her, her dancer’s posture unyielding. No one seemed to notice her except for those who hurried past, casting exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. Why was she invisible to them, yet the first thing I noticed? If heaven was the octagon, she became my angel at the center, the girl I wanted to fight for and claim. She taught me that the biggest heroes often go unsung and that the most important battles are the ones we doubt we can win.

From the New York Times bestselling author comes a breathtaking fantasy of a cursed kingdom, warring clans, and unexpected salvation. Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother. Bartered, abandoned, and rarely loved, she plagued the land with her words: From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok.

Now the fate of Saylok lies with Alba and Bayr, whose bond grows deeper with every whisper of coming chaos. Charged with battling the enemies of their people, both within and without, Bayr is fueled further by the love of a girl who has defied the scourge of Saylok. What Bayr and Alba don't know is that they each threaten the king, a greedy man who built his throne on lies, murder, and betrayal. There is only one way to defend their land from the corruption that has overtaken it. By breaking the curse, they could defeat the king...but they could also destroy themselves.

If I tell you from the start that I lost him, it will be easier for you to bear. You’ll know it’s coming, and it will hurt, but you can prepare yourself. Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, just hours old and near death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the news – a baby abandoned by a crack addict, expected to face numerous challenges. I imagined him as a broken child, that image haunting me. Perhaps his brokenness drew me to him from the beginning. This all happened before my time, and by the time I met Moses, his story was old news; no one wanted to be involved. People adore babies, even those with issues, but as they grow up, that affection wanes. Moses was troubled, living by his own rules, yet he was also strange, exotic, and beautiful. Being with him would change my life in unimaginable ways. I should have stayed away; my mother warned me, and even Moses cautioned me. But I didn’t listen. Thus begins a tale of pain and promise, heartache and healing, life and death. It’s a story of before and after, of new beginnings and endless cycles. Most importantly, it’s a love story.

Add to that the frustration of seeing ghosts at every turn while he works a case that’s stalled in its tracks, and Rain is starting to wonder if second chances and happy endings are just for fairy tales.
