Trust is the thread that binds us . . . and the rope that hangs us. In Nadezra, peace is as tenuous as a single thread. The ruthless House Indestor has been destroyed, but darkness still weaves through the city's filthy back alleys and jewel-bright gardens, seen by those who know where to look. Derossi Vargo has always known. He has sacrificed more than anyone imagines to carve himself a position of power among the nobility, hiding a will of steel behind a velvet smile. He'll be damned if he lets anyone threaten what he's built. Grey Serrado knows all too well. Bent under the yoke of too many burdens, he fights to protect the city's most vulnerable. Sooner or later, that fight will demand more than he can give. And Ren, daughter of no clan, knows best of all. Caught in a knot of lies, torn between her heritage and her aristocratic masquerade, she relies on her gift for reading pattern to survive. And it shows her the web of corruption that traps her city. But all three have yet to discover just how far that web stretches. And in the end, it will take more than knives to cut themselves free...

For Niamh Ryan, the Foleys are family. Her childhood flew by on their farm, playing with her best friend Peter and his sister Kate - all the while being doted on by their mother Helen and coached by their father Liam, a legendary former hurling player.

For the first printing only! This hardcover features gorgeous sprayed edges while the special edition supply lasts. Set in a corrupt surveillance state ruled by the masked elite, this true enemies-to-lovers dystopian romance that’s Conform meets V For Vendetta follows a mercenary who botches the assassination of the president’s son and ends up forced to marry him. The first thing you’ll learn in New Found Haven is that mercy doesn’t exist. The second thing is that, from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slums of the Boundary, the Veyra are always watching. The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it: Love outside of your ring is a death sentence. The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed. Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride as lethal as she is unwilling. Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her tied to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested. Their union is no love story—it’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating each other or burning the city to the ground together. In a world where passion has consequences and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.

Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic masterpieces behind the films... This special 50th anniversary edition includes three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), along with an extensive new index?a must-own tome for old and new Tolkien readers alike . One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. From Sauron's fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but while he studied classic works of the past, he was creating a set of his own.

This book is not an ordinary reading book. It is not meant to be devoured like a novel, not to be understood like a scientific treatise, not to be read like a report. It is a work of art, a space for meditation, for silence, for inner reflection. At first glance it appears empty, almost mute. Yet this emptiness is not a lack, but an invitation. It is the open space in which one´s own thoughts may grow. Whoever takes the book into their hands continues it inwardly, not with ink, but with awareness, with memory, with prayer. In this way, every reader becomes a co creator. A single word stands at the center, stronger than many others. It is the shortest and at the same time the most sincere prayer that can be spoken. A word that needs no further explanation and yet carries within it countless meanings. The seemingly empty pages are therefore not empty, but a vessel that becomes filled only through the thoughts and feelings of those who read. Numbers and symbols lend this work additional depth. The number five stands for the hand, the senses, the human. The number seven has always been regarded as the number of perfection and divine rhythm. The number eight, when laid on its side, becomes the symbol of infinity. Nature, too, knows such mysterious signs: the rare green flash on the horizon, a moment between day and night, beginning and end. A symbol of transition, just as this book itself is a transition, between the visible and the invisible, between word and silence, between knowledge and mystery. This work is independent of religion. It binds itself to no denomination but opens itself to all people, believers and atheists, seekers and doubters alike. It does not provide ready made answers, but opens up spaces. It does not lecture, but accompanies. It does not demand, but invites. Perhaps the greatest secret lies in the fact that it is not so much about the book itself, but about the dialogue it awakens within us. Every person brings their own story into it, every reader rewrites it invisibly anew. Thus there is not one single book, but as many as there are readers. A quiet riddle, a meditative space, a work of art that transcends the boundaries of language and religion. A book about gratitude, silence, and symbols. About the experience that the essence does not lie in the abundance of words, but in the depth of emptiness, and in the power of a single word.

Wren has spent her life learning to read water. Nothing in it has taught her how to read a sea that has stopped moving. After years of circling the flooded coasts of Britain for Rhea, the engineer she loved and lost to the deep, Wren follows a letter east: the first Rhea ever sent in her name, telling her to winter in the drowned Fens and be findable when the ice comes. Wren has chased a warm wake across half an ocean. Now, for the first time, the trail ends not in a rumour or a days-old repair but in a place that truly holds her. Rhea is here. Not a season ahead. Here. Then the cold comes down, the hardest in fifty years, harder than any since the waters first rose. The Fens are a wide shallow country of reed and brown water, where the Mere-folk live on scattered island eys and thread the lodes between them by punt and pole. When the great freeze sets the meres to iron overnight, every ey is cut off from every other, the stores half laid, the sick and the old stranded where they stand, and the people fall back on the oldest law their winters have taught them: each ey keeps its own, and waits the thaw, because the ice kills the impatient first. And Rhea is on the wrong side of it, sealed on the farthest ey of all, beyond a black river-course that the deep current keeps from ever freezing hard. For the first time in the long search, the thing between Wren and Rhea is not distance. It is stillness. Her whole craft is motion, and the water will not move. To reach the woman a few miles off, she will have to give up the chase she has run her whole life, learn an ice that does not bargain, and do the one thing that has always cost her the most: stay, and bind a frozen country together, one tested mark at a time, when every instinct screams at her to run across the killing white and take what she came for. A story in the world of the Tides of Tomorrow, and the fourth novel of The Drowned Atlas , The Drowned Fens is hopepunk for readers of Becky Chambers, Emily St. John Mandel, and Lily Brooks-Dalton: warm, cold-skied, and built on the conviction that the way to reach one person in a broken world is to mend the whole of it, one community at a time, and that some crossings are not seized but earned, like the thaw, when the water comes back.

Latina Laeta B2 - Mastery - Times and Destinies Read Latin as living literature - rich, fluent, and fully Classical. Latina Laeta B2 (Books 16-20) brings the twenty-book series to its climax: more than 117,000 words of continuous Classical Latin, written in clear Silver-Age prose. The world is wide now - Rome after victory, the fields and villas of Campania, the theatres of Africa, the tense cities of Syria, and the roads that bind the Empire together. This volume begins with a warm English recap of B1 and a short English introduction, then moves entirely into Latin as the characters reach adulthood and face the turning points of their lives. In Campania, Flaminia prepares for marriage - a day full of laurel, incense, songs, and whispered judgments. Beneath the celebration lie questions she must answer for herself: what she owes her family, what she owes her new household, and what part of her heart she dares keep her own. Across the sea, Spurius serves in the East, where a single coin, a generous priest, or a suspicious silence may signal danger. Festivals collapse into chaos, armed youths shout in the streets of Emesa, and decisions must be made quickly and publicly. Spurius no longer stands behind his father's robes; in B2 he must act as the Roman who stands there. Far to the south in Africa, Blossius and Marcella build a life on the road - dusty journeys, small coins, long rehearsals, and sudden triumphs before strangers in Thysdrus and beyond. Their craft matures; so does their bond. The theatre becomes both shelter and test. Every chapter unfolds in vivid scenes: a wedding hymn, a judgment in a governor's chamber, a whispered warning at a well, a night performance in a crowded African forum. Grammar rises naturally within the story - indirect discourse, ablative absolutes, complex subordination - always woven into narrative, never taught apart from it. Fluency comes from motion, familiarity, and immersion. Why learners love Latina Laeta B2: ¿ 117,000 words of continuous Classical Latin ¿ Pure Silver-Age prose modeled on Pliny, Suetonius, and Tacitus ¿ Emotional and historical depth: marriage, justice, travel, theatre, and danger ¿ Natural fluency: grammar absorbed through story, not drills ¿ Three plays: Plautine, Terentian, and a mystery play ¿ Closure and transformation for every major character The Road Beyond B2 brings you into full Classical style. From here, the world continues in the Gens et Gloria novels under Trajan - Latin literature written for readers who have grown into the language through story. Latina Laeta B2 - 117,000 words, 448 pages, one living Roman world. Read widely, finish strongly, and cross the bridge from learning Latin to living it.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. From Sauron's fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. This edition includes the fiftieth-anniversary fully corrected text setting and an extensive index. J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but while he studied classic works of the past, he was creating a set of his own. Praise for The Lord of the Rings "An extraordinary work -- pure excitement." -- New York Times Book Review "One of the great fairy-tale quests in modern literature." -- Time "A remarkable book." -- Newsweek "One of the very few works of genius in recent literature." -- New Republic "A work of immense narrative power that can sweep the reader up and hold him enthralled for days and weeks." -- The Nation "Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron." -- C. S. Lewis "The first thing one asks of an adventure story is that the adventure should be various and exciting . . . Tolkien's invention is unflagging." -- W. H. Auden "J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy remains the ultimate quest, the ultimate battle between good and evil, the ultimate chronicle of stewardship of the earth. Endlessly imitated, it never has been surpassed." -- Kansas City Star "A masterful story . . . an epic in its own way . . . with elements of high adventure, suspense, mystery, poetry, and fantasy." -- Boston Sunday Herald

"The influential artist Hedi Kyle and renowned architecture graduate Ulla Warchol shows you how to create their unique designs using folding techniques. From creating flag books and fishbones, to blizzards and nesting boxes, you'll gain an invaluable insight into the work of two skilled artists with this fun read! With the help of their thorough instructions and simple illustrations, you'll be on your way to becoming a pro paper crafter in no time at all" - Sew magazine "A wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist" - PaperCrafter The renowned and influential book artist Hedi Kyle shows you step-by-step how to create her unique designs using folding techniques in The Art of the Fold. Bookbinding and paper craft projects include flag books, blizzard books, the fishbone fold, and nesting boxes. Written by the doyenne of artists' books, Hedi Kyle, The Art of the Fold is a wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist. Hedi will show you how to bind a book and fold paper to create over 35 of her cut-fold book designs. The book is beautifully illustrated with Hedi's finished works of art. An excerpt from the book: 'I can still remember the thrill I experienced when my first folded book structure emerged from my fingers - how eager I was to explore its possibilities and to share it with whoever was interested. The Flag Book, as I now call it, is a simple accordion and has interlocking pages oriented in opposite directions. Little did I know that this simple structure would have legs and be the catalyst for the next forty-plus years of thinking about and making books. The common perception of the book today is fairly straightforward: a series of pages organized around a spine and protected on either side by two covers. This format allows for easy access, storage and retrieval of information. Yet what happens when the book is stripped away of centuries of preconceptions and is allowed to reveal something else: playfulness, utility, invention? Expanding the notion of the book is what the structures in the following chapters of The Art of the Fold attempt to do. Exploring its tactile, sculptural form, primarily through folding methods, the book as a structural object is celebrated while content is considered in a new and unconventional way. My range in this medium has always been broad. In part this is due to my introduction to the world of bookbinding and some chance encounters. In the 1970s in New York City, the art and craft of hand bookbinding and papermaking were experiencing an unprecedented revival. I was fortunate to arrive in the city at just this moment. With an art-school background and an impulse to make things, I was naturally drawn to pursue this new opportunity. The Center for Book Arts, the famous forerunner of so many centers yet to come, was located in a small storefront just down the street from where I lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Under the direction of founder Richard Minsky, it had a radical mission: to push concept, materials, printing and making of artist books in a new direction. When Richard dared me to teach at the Center one evening a week, I was hooked. My career as a book conservator and a book artist has now spanned over 45 years. As head conservator at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, I've had the opportunity to handle some of the rarest volumes and manuscripts in the world. I have also dealt with decrepit books, torn maps and countless curiosities discovered in stacks and archives. All were endless sources for ideas and provided a springboard for a departure from tradition. Leading book-arts workshops around the world and a 25 year tenure teaching in the graduate pro

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of That Summer comes another heartfelt and unputdownable novel of family, secrets, and the ties that bind. When her twenty-two-year-old stepdaughter announces her engagement to her pandemic boyfriend, Sarah Danhauser is shocked. But the wheels are in motion. Headstrong Ruby has already set a date (just three months away!) and spoken to her beloved safta, Sarah’s mother Veronica, about having the wedding at the family’s beach house in Cape Cod. Sarah might be worried, but Veronica is thrilled to be bringing the family together one last time before putting the big house on the market. But the road to a wedding day usually comes with a few bumps. Ruby has always known exactly what she wants, but as the wedding date approaches, she finds herself grappling with the wounds left by the mother who walked out when she was a baby. Veronica ends up facing unexpected news, thanks to her meddling sister, and must revisit the choices she made long ago, when she was a bestselling novelist with a different life. Sarah’s twin brother, Sam, is recovering from a terrible loss, and confronting big questions about who he is—questions he hopes to resolve during his stay on the Cape. Sarah’s husband, Eli, who’s been inexplicably distant during the pandemic, confronts the consequences of a long ago lapse from his typical good-guy behavior. And Sarah, frustrated by her husband, concerned about her stepdaughter, and worn out by challenges of life during quarantine, faces the alluring reappearance of someone from her past and a life that could have been. When the wedding day arrives, lovers are revealed as their true selves, misunderstandings take on a life of their own, and secrets come to light. There are confrontations and revelations that will touch each member of the extended family, ensuring that nothing will ever be the same. From “the undisputed boss of the beach read” (The New York Times), The Summer Place is a testament to family in all its messy glory; a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted, and sharply observed, this is Jennifer Weiner’s love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family, and the endless ways love can surprise us.
