Before they were known as king of the jungle, millions of years ago, lions were the prey. In a time when dinosaurs ruled the earth and lions lived afraid, constantly hiding and running from their tireless predators, one curious cub dared to venture beyond the safety of his pride. With the full moon's glow guiding his path, the cub witnessed a spectacle that defied comprehension — a mysterious object plummeting from the sky. As the stars winked in approval, the cub's heart brimmed with wonder and curiosity, propelling him towards a destiny he could scarcely imagine. Nevertheless, destiny had other plans in store. The cub’s journey took an unexpected turn when he encountered a warrior, unlike any creature he had ever known, caught between the thrill of discovery and the chill of fear. From the wreckage of the fallen object emerged Kaira, a guardian from a distant land, bearing gifts of knowledge and power beyond any lion's wildest imagination. However, as the cub grappled with the weight of his newfound guardian and friend, a shadow loomed on the horizon — a fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, hungry for prey. In a desperate bid for survival, the cub's courage was put to the test as he faced the ultimate showdown between life and death. In "When Lions Grief: Chronicles of Anaca," readers will be swept away on an epic odyssey filled with heart-stopping adventure, breathtaking wonder, and the timeless bonds of friendship. Are you ready to join the lions on their quest to change the course of history? Prepare to journey into the Kingdom of Anaca and discover their world as it was 65 million years ago.

"“We’re going to own you.” “We’re going to break you.” “When we’re through with you, you won’t remember life before you were ours.” That’s what they whisper as I pass their cells. Ha. Guess what bastardos? I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and freaking Alpha Werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organisations and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Papà always said my hot head would land me in here one day. The supernatural prison they call Darkmore Penitentiary. Where they send the cruellest, most dangerous Fae in Solaria. Like me apparently. So maybe I deserve to be in prison, but do you want to know a secret? I planned to get sent to Darkmore Penitentiary. I’ve come to break out the most notorious criminal in Solaria. The trouble is, I need the help of the four Alpha males to get out of here. And they happen to hate each other almost as much as they hate me. But I always did love a challenge. How hard could it be to make them accept me as their leader?" -- Back cover.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of Pan’s Labyrinth “that will appeal to those who loved Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane and John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things” (Library Journal, starred review). Set in a world similar to our own, during a war that parallels World War II, A Green and Ancient Light is the stunning story of a boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer in a serene fishing village. Their tranquility is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane, the arrival of grandmother’s friend Mr. Girandole—a man who knows the true story of Cinderella’­s slipper—and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind grandmother’s house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage and sacrifice.
