Life under the sea is both beautiful and deadly. But nothing and no one will drive me out. Weak. Inferior. Parasite. Don't belong. I've heard all sorts of insults during my last 4 years here at Arctic Academy. As the only human mage, I'm always fighting to prove my worth, but hey, I'm top of my class for a reason. I don't care what anyone says. Not the teachers, students, or attending mer prince and his stupidly hot and cruel entourage. I can take anything they can dish out and keep getting up. Pranks, I can handle. Polar bears, no problem. Roommates, Royal audiences? Sure. Kidnappings… Wait. Kidnappings? All I want is to finish my degree, fill my polar bear soul vial, and save the ocean. It shouldn’t be this difficult. I’m Nora Donovan, and nothing—not even the empress herself—is going to drive me out of the oceans I love. This is the first of five books in a slow burn reverse harem bully romance featuring broody jerks, sassy Nora, and a true demonstration of human resilience. Violence is a guarantee, but so is an unyieldingly awesome woman.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Saloutos Prize of the Immigration History Society Bailyn's Pulitzer Prize-winning book uses an emigration roster that lists every person officially known to have left Britain for America from December 1773 to March 1776 to reconstruct the lives and motives of those who emigrated to the New World. "Voyagers to the West is a superb book...It should be equally admired by and equally attractive to the general reader as to the professional historian."--R.C. Simmons, Journal of American Studies

No one with half a brain would rob the jungle's most notorious energy cartel—but their power-producing stones are the only thing that soothes Cacao's mysterious pain, and after being banished from his homeland for similar thefts, the lonely naga is desperate enough to try. When his ramshackle thievery goes wrong, a chaotic escape leaves him chained to the cartel's prisoner: a self-proclaimed hero with a hidden stash of power stones so large that Cacao would never need to steal again. He's determined to get his hands on it, even if it means guiding the annoyingly smug, annoyingly valiant, and even more annoyingly beautiful hero back home. But their path runs straight through the mist-laden and monster-filled swamp that exiled Cacao, with scheming poachers and a desperate cartel leader on their tail. The selfish and the self-righteous can only flee together for so long before something snaps... Return to the These Treacherous Tide's steampunk-inspired world of mermaids and reimagined mythological creatures in this fast-paced, standalone adventure with an insult-slinging, opposites attract, hate-to-love romance between a grouchy thief and a sassy, self-proclaimed hero.

Created around the world and available only on the web, internet "television" series are independently produced, mostly low budget shows that often feature talented but unknown performers.

The fifth in a series focusing on the largely undocumented world of internet TV, this book covers 573 children's series created for viewers 3 to 14. The genre includes a broad range of cartoons, CGI, live-action comedies and puppetry. Alphabetical entries provide websites, dates, casts, credits, episode lists and storylines.
