If you can see them, you're already dead. If you can hear them, you're not far from it. If you can smell them, like the forest they live in, avoid danger at all conceivable costs. Because they're the monsters in the shadows of Harvey Hill's forests, and their king needs his queen. Charlotte and her burning red hair is a sight to behold. Though every bit as feisty as her sharp green eyes, she's weary of the beasts that roam at night... of beasts that threaten to abduct you, never to be seen again. After all, here in Harvey's Hill, when the clock hits ten, you best be inside, praying to the moon that the beasts pretend you're not there. Yet, speeding down a highway late one night, she makes a grave-nay, fatal-mistake. Gabe saw those same smouldering embers that same night. Bloody and limp yet scathingly beautiful, her small but defiant voice burns through his soul. He reaches out, aching to claim her, but she knows her runes, and she isn't going down without a goddamn fight. But the King of Beasts always gets what he wants, and so he drags her away to be his forever... or so he thought. Just when love and passion take its course, odd things starts happening. Sinister things are in the works. And when Charlotte and Gabe find their bond broken, everything falls apart... maybe even their sanity. What are the secrets of this strange, strange town? When death is hot on her heels, will Charlotte escape? Will the king ever get to claim his queen? Be captivated by this dark tale of undying love that defies the paranormal in Jamiee Lynne's new book, King of Beasts.

The illegal killing of Cecil – a famous and magnificent black-maned Zimbabwean lion – by an American big-game hunter in 2015 sparked international outrage. More significantly, it drew the world's attention to the devastating plight of Africa's lions. A century ago, there were more than 200,000 wild lions living in Africa. Today, with that population reduced by more than 90 per cent, many experts believe that without effective conservation plans, Africa's remaining wild lions could be completely wiped out by the mid-half of this century. When the Last Lion Roars explores the historic rise and fall of the lion as a global species, and examines the reasons behind its catastrophic decline. Interwoven with vivid personal encounters of Africa's last lions, Sara Evans questions what is being done to reverse (or at least stem) this population collapse, and she considers the importance of human responsibility in this decline and, more crucially, in their conservation. From the Lion Guardians in Kenya to the Living Walls of Tanzania, and the Hwange Lion Research Project in Zimbabwe, Sara meets both lions and their champions, people who are fighting to bring this iconic species back from the brink of extinction.

A celebration of the visual contributions of the bestiary--one of the most popular types of illuminated books during the Middle Ages--and an exploration of its lasting legacy. Brimming with lively animals both real and fantastic, the bestiary was one of the great illuminated manuscript traditions of the Middle Ages. Encompassing imaginary creatures such as the unicorn, siren, and griffin; exotic beasts including the tiger, elephant, and ape; as well as animals native to Europe like the beaver, dog, and hedgehog, the bestiary is a vibrant testimony to the medieval understanding of animals and their role in the world. So iconic were the stories and images of the bestiary that its beasts essentially escaped from the pages, appearing in a wide variety of manuscripts and other objects, including tapestries, ivories, metalwork, and sculpture. With over 270 color illustrations and contributions by twenty-five leading scholars, this gorgeous volume explores the bestiary and its widespread influence on medieval art and culture as well as on modern and contemporary artists like Pablo Picasso and Damien Hirst. Published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center May 14 to August 18, 2019.
