From the extraordinary Colombian French politician and activist Ingrid Betancourt, a stunning debut novel about freedom and fate Set against the backdrop of Argentina’s Dirty War and infused with magical realism, The Blue Line is a breathtaking story of love and betrayal by one of the world’s most renowned writers and activists. Ingrid Betancourt, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Even Silence Has an End, draws on history and personal experience in this deeply felt portrait of a woman coming of age as her country falls deeper and deeper into chaos. Buenos Aires, the 1970s. Julia inherits from her grandmother a gift, precious and burdensome. Sometimes visions appear before her eyes, mysterious and terrible apparitions from the future, seen from the perspective of others. From the age of five, Julia must intervene to prevent horrific events. In fact, as her grandmother tells her, it is her duty to do so—otherwise she will lose her gift. At fifteen, Julia falls in love with Theo, a handsome revolutionary four years her senior. Their lives are turned upside down when Juan Perón, the former president and military dictator, returns to Argentina. Confronted by the realities of military dictatorship, Julia and Theo become Montoneros sympathizers and radical idealists, equally fascinated by Jesus Christ and Che Guevara. Captured by death squadrons, they somehow manage to escape. . . . In this remarkable novel, Betancourt, an activist who spent more than six years held hostage by the FARC in the depths of Colombian jungle, returns to many of the themes of Even Silence Has an End. The Blue Line is a story centered on the consequences of oppression, collective subservience, and individual courage, and, most of all, the notion that belief in the future of humanity is an act of faith most beautiful and deserving.

Since 1979, the literary journal Blueline has served as a venue for literature that reflects the distinctive spirit of the Adirondack region. These poems and prose pieces, drawn from twenty-five years of Blueline's pages, represent the abundance and variety of creative responses to the singular geography and history of the Adirondacks. Read together, however, they do something more: they reveal a distinct way of looking at the world, attuned both to nature in all its various detail and to profound questions about nature and humanity. Under the editors' discriminating eyes, the contributions coalesce into a natural and elegant extension of the region's landscape and people. From Joseph Bruchac's "Writing by Moonlight" and Neal Burdick's "Waiting for a Train at the Plattsburgh Amtrak Station" to Alice Wolf Gilborn's "On Adirondack Porches," The Blueline Anthology offers rare glimpses into the soul of a region, brief and shifting views that, like those glimpsed by a hiker looking out from the trees at the blue mountains, capture the eye and the mind.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Opposites do more than just attract in USA Today bestselling author Toni Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl he can’t resist. The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lie behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test. Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,” the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam.

Her stories are enveloped with passion, emotion, humor, love; and let me tell you, that girl knows how to write a sex scene that just makes you sweat!”—Guilty Pleasures Book Review “Sexy and riveting . . . the perfect combination of love and lust.”—USA Today bestselling author Heidi McLaughlin, on Blue Lines “Funny, charming, sweet, sexy . . .

At the great summer fair at the capital, a little less than a year ago, the Gylden Sirklene challengeSommerhjems ancient way for choosing rulerswas called, forcing Regent Cedric Klingflug to step down. The governing of the country was turned over to an interim ruling council. One year to the day the challenge was called, all nine pieces of the oppgave ringe must be brought to the capital. It is now the start of the summer fair season, but only seven of the pieces of the oppgave ringe have been safely delivered to the capital. With few scant weeks left before the great summer fair, the rules governing the Gylden Sirklene challenge need to be fulfilled. Time is running out for both those who support the Crown and those who support the former regent. All too soon, Nissa, Carz, and her fellow ring carriers are caught up in a race against time, desperate to find the final pieces of the oppgave ringe in order to initiate the challenge and return to the ancient way of choosing the rightful ruler of Sommerhjem.
