The arrival of the Hero was worse than anyone could have imagined.To take her place as a full warrior of her tribe, Tani must travel across the vast grasslands of the Chorhan Expanse. But she has her sights set higher than a mere ritual journey: she wants to uncover a solution to the impending war that threatens her people. Her world has never been peaceful, torn between the many cultures that meet on the Chorhan Expanse, but the greatest threat is an expansionist army of monstrous non-humans who call themselves the mansthein.Legends tell of monsters who will attempt to conquer the world, but are the mansthein those monsters? Tani believes that peace may be possible, but there are others on both sides who believe in the legends with zealous devotion. All around her, warriors have their eyes on a glorious victory with no concern for the piles of bodies they'll create on the way.Tani will be joined by a killer pretending to be a healer, a mansthein commander struggling with his orders, a thief who pawned her heart of gold, and a strategist exiled from a foreign land. But none of them are the Hero. It doesn't matter how many shades of gray might exist, some people see only in black and white. And the terrifying truth is that the stories they tell might not be just legends.

Synopsis When I Was White by : Sarah Valentine

The stunning and provocative coming-of-age memoir about Sarah Valentine's childhood as a white girl in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, and her discovery that her father was a black man. At the age of 27, Sarah Valentine discovered that she was not, in fact, the white girl she had always believed herself to be. She learned the truth of her paternity: that her father was a black man. And she learned the truth about her own identity: mixed race. And so Sarah began the difficult and absorbing journey of changing her identity from white to black. In this memoir, Sarah details the story of the discovery of her identity, how she overcame depression to come to terms with this identity, and, perhaps most importantly, asks: why? Her entire family and community had conspired to maintain her white identity. The supreme discomfort her white family and community felt about addressing issues of race–her race–is a microcosm of race relationships in America. A black woman who lived her formative years identifying as white, Sarah's story is a kind of Rachel Dolezal in reverse, though her "passing" was less intentional than conspiracy. This memoir is an examination of the cost of being black in America, and how one woman threw off the racial identity she'd grown up with, in order to embrace a new one.

Synopsis A Love and Beyond by : Dan Sofer

A mysterious crime. A ruthless secret society. And a desperate bachelor... Is love worth the risk? In Katamon, the singles hub of modern-day Jerusalem, Dave Schwarz fails miserably in his mission to find a better half. When he stumbles upon the mystical key to a woman's heart, matters only get worse. The secret draws him into a web of baffling crimes, archaeological enigmas and religious conspiracies, and pits him against dark forces itching to trigger the End of Days. Holding out for a hero Mandy Rosenberg has taken a break from New York to study in Jerusalem. In other words, she's shopping for a husband. Down-to-earth but jaded by years of dating, she finds unexpected romance with Dave. But is he really her long-awaited hero? Or will the dark side of their relationship threaten all? A Love and Beyond is a lighthearted, emotional rollercoaster through Jerusalem's Katamon neighborhood and its dating scene. The multi-layered adventure explores the lore and legends concerning soul mates and the secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and blazes a path through hidden corners of Jerusalem and undiscovered archaeological ruins. The colorful cast includes a sexy flatmate, a dodgy restaurateur, and a hotel manager with secrets of his own. The trail of discoveries might even expose a billion-dollar buried treasure and a cover-up regarding the birth of Christianity. In this tale of love and deception, hope and guilt, courage and misadventure, Dave has to choose between shattering his heart and jeopardizing his life. Praise for Dan Sofer "Tightly-written, with a vein of wry comedy that finally erupts into a frenzy of biblical proportions, the story keeps us compulsively turning pages... A very fun read!"- Yael Unterman, author of The Hidden of Things: Twelve Stories of Love & Longing (Yotzeret Publications) "It overwhelmed me with its rich style... not to speak of a surprise ending that I could not foresee... Bravo!" - Leo Haber, editor of Midstream Magazine (regarding Dan's short story, Larry and Kate)
