Stolen from the mortal world by the fae, the last thing I expect is a crown.
Enslaved at a mine and with no hope of escape, my life is a grim exercise in survival until the magic of the Court chooses an unexpected ruler: Me.
But becoming queen is more than revels and gowns. It puts me in the crosshairs of every vicious member of the fae nobility—and in the bedroom of a gorgeous, winged fae with the power to rewrite the landscape and slaughter armies. His every emotion thrums through my veins: Pain. Joy. Pleasure.
The Court's chosen king is too dangerous for casual touch, a man burdened by strange magic and rejected by his own goddess. The link between us binds us, heart and soul. He courts me with gems and flowers. His eyes follow me and his desire heats my blood.
Yet he refuses to take the throne. With the Court on the verge of falling apart, threatened by a vengeful goddess and scheming nobles, he holds back, certain that he'll do more harm than good.
But if he truly wants me, he's going to have to claim me as the man I know he can be: my king.
Contains mature themes.
My fated mate doesn't want me—but if he doesn't claim me, I die.
I risked my life to help fae flee a tyrant king. When my own escape goes wrong, I'm left stranded in the wilderness with an injured, arrogant fae mercenary. The last thing he wants is to claim his mortal soulmate, but we have to rely on each other, or die.
Unfortunately, he's half-basilisk, and a single glance will kill me. Unless we mate . . . every three days.
He's cocky, aloof, and far too aware of what his venom does to me. From the wilderness to the fae High Court, he's my unwilling companion—and devoted, deadly protector. I can't help being drawn to his passion and the playfulness he only shows me.
I'm hunted by a king and cursed with deadly magic I can barely control. He's haunted by a past he refuses to acknowledge and secrets he can't avoid.
Alone, we don't stand a chance . . . but together, we might bring a kingdom to its knees.
Contains mature themes.
I meant to slay the dragon—not save him.
All my life, I've known what it means to be a human in Faery, and I've always fought back. But when my father attacks a half-dragon duke—and fails—I make the only bargain I can think of: my life for my his.
I expect to be treated like a slave, but my new master keeps me in luxury. There's no escape from the beautiful, deadly fae duke—and I'm determined to use my position to help the other mortals in Faery.
But the more I learn about him, the more I want to know. He's fascinating. Passionate. Every time he touches me, I want to beg him to never stop. There's far more to the Flame of Faery than I ever expected.
His secrets bind him like thorned vines. His enemies lurk in the shadows. They know how to deal with a dragon . . . but they don't know how to deal with me.
If I save him, my debt is paid. But I'm starting to fear that I'll never want to leave . . .
Contains mature themes.
He's the man I swore to betray, and everything I could ever dream of having.
When the fae save your life, they own it—and you. But when an attack by the deadly half-manticore, half-fae Raven Prince reveals that my Court's greatest enemy is my soulmate, I'm offered a new deal:
Spy on my soulmate, and I'll be free at the end of the war.
I thought I'd be imprisoned by a horrifying monster, not captivated by a deadly prince.
The Raven Prince is possessive and impassioned, with a wildness that intoxicates me. Even though he knows I'm his enemy, he can't stay away from me—and his every touch lights a fire in me I can't bear to resist.
The only way out of my sworn word is death, and we can never have a future if I die in his arms. But how can I ever betray the prince who wants to make me his mate?
Contains mature themes.
I never intended to become a princess. Or make a deal with a monster.
Lost in the wilderness, I thought the handsome stranger was my salvation—until I looked into the eyes of a beast. They say not to bargain with the fae, but there was no other choice.
The deadly prince of Stag Court claims I belong to him. I only have a year and a day to convince him to let me go before I'm his forever.
He's without mercy, known as a ruthless killer. Yet he protects me. Defends me. Tells me his secrets. In front of the Court, he's the Beast, but behind closed doors he gives me the chance to choose him, or not.
The fae Court is a dangerous place, and the prince isn't the only terror lurking in the shadows. But I'm stronger than his enemies give me credit for. Together, he and I might be each other's salvation . . . or ruin.
Captured by the Fae Beast is a complete story loosely inspired by the story of Hades and Persephone, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after. This enemies-to-lovers slow burn romance features a possessive male lead and the sunshine mortal who can tame him.
Contains mature themes.
Leave the power tie at home. The old rules of influence don't work anymore.
It's time to throw out the old rules of influence and become the leader you've always wanted to be.
A new type of leader is emerging—one with a bold mission who empowers others through transparency and unwavering passion. Modern-day executive presence mandates levels of authenticity and honesty never before seen in the C-suite.
Personal branding and reputation management expert, Lida Citroën guides leaders through this new paradigm of executive presence and influence. Through inspiring examples, compelling stories, and practical exercises, Citron helps leaders tap into their passion, connect authentically with others, and create space for inclusivity and community.
Greta Thunberg is a powerful example of a new paradigm leader. The Swedish teenager's influence arguably exceeds that of most CEOs or political leaders. The youngest person to be named Time's Person of the Year, she radically upended Swedish politics and world climate policy. Nothing about her conforms to the typical expectations of a leader's executive presence—her power comes from her honesty and genuine passion to make the world a better place.
This accessible guide addresses the nature of the intrusive and unwanted thoughts that can be common in new parenthood, and offers practical answers and advice on how to tackle these.
With fresh material focusing on how to overcome barriers to disclosure and stigma, and updated treatment approaches and case descriptions, this revised edition explains exactly what these negative thoughts are, why they come about, and what can be done about them. Chapters offer information on the specific nature of perinatal anxiety and related disorders, along with take-home points and evidence-based strategies for symptom relief that clinicians can use effectively with new parents.
Written by two leading clinicians in the perinatal community, in collaboration with two promising leaders in this specialized field, Dropping the Baby and Other Scary Thoughts, 2nd edition offers a compassionate approach to breaking the cycle of scary thoughts that is invaluable to new parents and clinicians alike.
Imperial conquest and colonization depended on pervasive raiding, slaving, and plunder. European empires amassed global power by asserting a right to use unilateral force at their discretion. They Called It Peace is a panoramic history of how these routines of violence remapped the contours of empire and reordered the world from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries.
In an account spanning from Asia to the Americas, Lauren Benton shows how imperial violence redefined the nature of war and peace. Instead of preparing lasting peace, fragile truces ensured an easy return to war. Serial conflicts and armed interventions projected a de facto state of perpetual war across the globe. Benton describes how seemingly limited war sparked atrocities, from sudden massacres to long campaigns of dispossession and extermination. She brings vividly to life a world in which warmongers portrayed themselves as peacemakers and Europeans imagined 'small' violence as essential to imperial rule and global order.
Holding vital lessons for us today, They Called It Peace reveals how the imperial violence of the past has made perpetual war and the threat of atrocity endemic features of the international order.
Basit Deniau's houses were haunted to begin with.
A house embedded with an artificial intelligence is a common thing: a house that is an artificial intelligence, infused with a thinking creature that is not human? That is something else. But now Deniau's been dead a year, and Rose House is locked up tight, as commanded by the architect's will: all his possessions and files and sketches are confined in its archives, and their only keeper is Rose House itself. Rose House, and one other.
Dr. Selene Gisil, one of Deniau's former protege, is permitted to come into Rose House once a year. Until this week, Dr. Gisil was the only person whom Rose House spoke to.
But even an animate intelligence that haunts a house has some failsafes common to all AIs. For instance: all AIs must report the presence of a dead body to the nearest law enforcement agency.
There is a dead person in Rose House. Rose House, having completed its duty of care and informed Detective Maritza Smith of the China Lake police precinct that there is in fact a dead person inside it, dead of unnatural causes-has shut up.
No one can get inside Rose House, except Dr. Gisil. And someone died there. And someone may be there still.
A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority.
Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative.
Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women-Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale-to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.
