All he wanted to do was buy and sell tea … When Arthur arrives at the Indian palace of Vana, he believes he is there to make a straightforward deal. It soon becomes clear that Arthur was summoned to Vana for very different reasons. Chandri, a young noblewoman, seems eager to marry him. But is she doing so of her own will, or are there Lords at work? Arthur must gain the trust of Chandri, and work alongside the enigmatic man known as Guruji, if he is ever to discover the truth and free the people of Vana. But Vana has its own protectors, guardians known as yakshas, and one of them may be able to offer Arthur a little help in return …

Ireland: 1659 In the castle's keep there is a room ... And in that room there is a box ... And in that box there is ...? Sorcha Moore feels as though she has finally found her real home amongst the werewolves of Wolf Wood, but enemies may be closer than she thinks. With poisonings and attacks occurring within the wolves’ community, who can Sorcha really trust? The werewolves must discover the culprit. And if they are ever to defeat the Tolberts, then they must do it fast.

The wolves have been divided, but will they fall? In the castle’s dungeons, werewolves are being tortured and killed, but is this just another game of Lord Tolbert’s, or does he need the wolves for a darker purpose? Sorcha Moore has been betrayed, kidnapped, and separated from everyone she cares for. But who has driven them apart, and why? Sorcha needs to learn all she can about her enemies – and about herself – if she is ever going to defeat the Lord. But when she is finally told the truth of the Lords and the werewolves, it may not be the truth she wants to hear. Will Sorcha return to Wolf Wood and in time to save Rory and the wolf pack, or will she do as everyone seems to think she ought … and run?

Did they really believe a Lord would keep his end of the bargain? The pack travel to New Amsterdam, hoping that they will finally find their leader again. But once they get there, they have a chilling choice to make. Lord Ambrose de Jong tells them that Rory will be returned to them, as promised. But only if they wait until midsummer … and only if they sacrifice another in his place. After all they have been through, they are unwilling to trust the word of a Lord – and they are certainly not prepared to do as one says. They attempt to retrieve Rory without the Lord’s help, but it begins to seem like an impossible task. Luckily for them, an old friend returns from India. And he might just have the power they need to do things their own way …

Thick clusters of vivid blue flowers, which resemble old-fashioned sunbonnets, cover the Texas hills in the springtime every year. These lovely wild flowers, known by the name of bluebonnet, are the state flower of Texas. This favorite legend based on Comanche Indian lore, tells the story of how the bluebonnet came to be. Tomie dePaola's powerful retelling and his magnificent full-color paintings perfectly capture the Comanche People, the Texas hills, and the spirit of She-Who-Is-Alone, a little girl who made a sacrifice to save her tribe.

Although Renée Vivien led a life of wealth and privilege in belle epoque Paris, she often felt like an outsider because she was attracted to other women. Financially secure, she wrote books to suit her own taste rather than that of the literary market. The Woman with the Wolf (La dame à la louve), from 1904, shows her at the height of her powers. These fierce, surprising stories challenge moral hypocrisy and normative views about gender, beginning with the title work, which offers a coded representation of same-sex love in the seemingly inexplicable commitment between a woman and her canine companion. The following stories feature a reimagined fairy tale in which Prince Charming turns out to be a young woman, a western adventure whose narrator goes mad with thirst, and other unconventional narratives that range across time and space.
