Sinopsis

The world is on fire.
 
During the Great Warming, billions of the Earth’s beings died from the heat, starvation, disease and desperation. This devastation peaked when aliens seeded the scorched soil with magic. As it seeped towards the Earth’s core, it changed everything.
 
Rain Dare is born on an island in the Pacific fifty-eight years later. 99% human and 1% alien Rain is the alien’s parting gift. She is designed to help mankind transition from a technologically based world to a magical one.
 
Unfortunately, her birth came later than anticipated. Now, at seventeen, she must leave her island home to learn all she can about Earth’s changed landscape and inhabitants.
 
Suspicious shapeshifters.
 
Inexperienced mages.
 
Magically created monsters.
 
Danger lurks all around in this hostile world.
 
Rain hopes to teach others how to use their magic, yet with each passing day, she fears she’s already too late. Will she be dismissed and ignored as too young to know anything valuable? Will she be hunted and destroyed as just another threat in the deadly landscape? Or will her alien nature make her the hope the world needs?

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
