  The Demon King’s Interpreter

  Tatiana, a half-demon/half-human, was orphaned as a child by a horrific war between the demon and human kingdoms. A human Duke took her in, but only so that he could take advantage of her special skill: Tatiana can speak Shadowtongue, the native language of demons, unspeakable by anyone devoid of demon blood. Despite the abuse she receives from the Duke's family, she works hard as an interpreter between the kingdoms, in hopes of maintaining peace and winning her family's affection. 
   
   
   
  Her efforts prove worthless, however, when she is unwittingly used by the Duke as a political pawn and killed for her actions. Just as Tatiana thinks she has breathed her last—she wakes up, one year prior to her death! Determined not to beg for love any longer, and armed with advanced knowledge of the villainous deals made by the Duke, Tatiana flees to the Demon High Court and offers her knowledge to the Demon King Luther himself in exchange for sanctuary. The notoriously cold-hearted warrior king is intrigued by the bold half-demon woman's offer and accepts her proposal, not expecting that she will also work her way into his heart.

  "I'll do anything to make sure she's safe. Even from me." 
   
   
   
  Naomi: All my life, I've been protected. First by my older brother, and now by a crew of women on a strange alien planet who insist on protecting my virtue. Who cares about virtue? I have to make the most of this situation, and if that means shacking up with a big blue guy, I'm not opposed. So when I find that the very alien who I'm convinced is my mate has gone off on a reckless mission, I risk it all to bring him back myself. 
   
   
   
  Gar: Anger doesn't even begin to describe how I feel when a fragile female puts herself in harm's way for me. And not just any female—of course she's the one I can't resist. But I don't deserve her, and I'll never bind her to my doomed destiny. Except now she's in danger, and if it's the last thing I do in my cursed life, I'll make sure she's safe. Even from me.

  The Persistence of Desire

  John Updike

  The extraordinarily evocative stories depict the generation born in a small-town America during the Depression and growing up in a world where the old sexual morality was turned around and material comforts were easily had. Yet, as these stories reflect so accurately, life was still unsettling, and Updike chronicles telling moments both joyful and painful. The texts are taken from his recent omnibus, The Early Stories, 1953-1975. 
  In describing how he wrote these stories in a small, rented, smoke-filled office in Ipswitch, Massachusetts, he says, ""I felt that I was packaging something as delicately pervasive as smoke, one box after another, in that room, where my only duty was to describe reality as it had come to me -- to give the mundane its beautiful due.""

  Introducing an instant classic--master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths. 
  Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerges the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
