This “up-close [and] graceful account” of the polar bear combines historical accounts, research, and the author’s own encounters in the Arctic (Kirkus Reviews). Polar bears are creatures of paradox: They are white bears whose skin is black; massive predators who can walk almost silently; Arctic residents whose major problem is not staying warm, but keeping cool. Fully grown they can measure ten feet and weigh close to two thousand pounds, but at birth they are just twenty ounces. Human encounters with these legendary creatures can be both exhilarating and terrifying. Tales throughout history describe the ferocity of polar bear attacks on humans. But human hunters have exacted a far larger toll, obliging Arctic nations to try to protect their region’s iconic species before it’s too late. Now another threat to the polar bears’ survival has emerged, one that is steadily destroying sea ice and the life it supports. Without this habitat, polar bears cannot exist. The Great White Bear celebrates the story of this unique species. Through a blend of history, myth, personal observations, and scientific accounts, Kieran Mulvaney tells the story of the polar bear: its history, its life, and its uncertain fate.

What if spending three nights in the dark together could break the curse of the White Bear King? Elyna is married to the cursed White Bear King and wants to do everything in her power to break his curse. Not looking at him for three nights as they shared the bed together sounded easy enough, but the Witch who cursed King Erik had different plans. King Erik is mystified that the beautiful commoner agreed to marry him, but as soon as she says yes he wants to keep her forever. Three nights in the dark are all that is needed to be together as husband and wife, but the third night may end too soon. Excerpt: Even though I tried to stay awake, I woke up when the mattress dipped next to me. “Husband?” I called out. “Yes, my Light,” Erik answered, closer than I had imagined. “Can I touch you?” I asked. Erik remained quiet for such a long time I wanted to revoke my question, but after a heavy breath, he said. “If you wish.” “I do,” I said, sitting up and scooting closer to my warm husband. His body radiated warmth, and I could almost imagine seeing it vibrate in the dark, but that was probably an illusion. I stretched out my hand in the dark, and he met it with his. “Can you see?” I asked. “Yes. Bears have good night vision and I have been granted the ability even when I am in human form.” “That hardly seems fair,” I pouted. “With patience, you will be able to see me soon enough, my wife. Only one more night after this one, and our lives together, can start. You can see me so much you will probably grow tired of me.” I laughed, squeezing his hand. “I doubt I would grow tired seeing a King.” “What about seeing your husband?” Erik asked. “I would like to see you,” I said, lifting up my other hand and caressing his arm all the way up to his shoulder. “But I will start with feeling you.” --------- Reader advisory: This story contains explicit sex scenes between a male Bear Shifter and a female human.
