Synopsis

In "Pink and White Tyranny," Harriet Beecher Stowe presents a poignant critique of societal norms surrounding gender and the constraining dynamics of marriage in the Victorian era. Utilizing her signature narrative style that blends sharp social commentary with deeply human characters, Stowe crafts a tale that reflects the frustrations of women trapped within the confines of domesticity. The novel interweaves personal experience with broader themes of social justice, illuminating the often unrecognized struggles faced by women in an era marked by strict gender roles and expectations. Stowe, an influential abolitionist and a crucial voice in American literature, drew from her extensive knowledge of societal issues and personal observations as the daughter of a prominent minister. Her previous works, most notably "Uncle Tom's Cabin," established her as a formidable advocate for social reform, and "Pink and White Tyranny" builds upon her dedication to highlighting the injustices faced by marginalized groups. Stowe's own experiences as a wife and mother infused the narrative with a realistic portrayal of the complex emotional landscape of women's lives during her time. This compelling novel is essential for readers seeking to understand the historical foundations of feminist thought and the evolution of women's rights. Stowe's insightful examination of gender relations continues to resonate today, making "Pink and White Tyranny" a must-read for those interested in the intersection of literature, gender studies, and social reform.

    ‘If you want adventure, you have to march right up to it and kick it in the shins...’ 
    At fourteen, barefoot and running wild, Rose is delighted to be apprenticed to Akiva, the witch of the forest. She thinks it will be all enchantment and excitement, and not so much fuss about baths. The reality is much more sober and practical—that is, until she meets a mysterious wolf in the forest and is tricked into stepping off the path... 
    In young, naive Rose, Bastian sees a way of escape. Cursed to remain in the shape of a wolf after running afoul of a powerful enchantress, he has lived many decades under a spell, and now he is both desperate and ruthless. But by breaking part of Bastian’s curse, Rose has caught the attention of Cassandra, the enchantress who cursed him: and Cassandra is by no means ready to forgive and forget. 
    Meanwhile, wardens have been disappearing from the forest, one by one. Rose is certain that Cassandra is behind the disappearances, but can she and Bastian get to the bottom of the matter before Akiva disappears as well? And are Bastian’s motives entirely to be trusted? 
    Sometimes the girl in the red hood doesn’t get eaten, and sometimes the wolf isn’t the most frightening thing in the forest...

    Humanity was granted their time to prepare. Now that it has come to an end, all Miriam Solovy wants is one more day. 
    The Rasu civil war engineered by Alex Solovy and Nika Kirumase has provided Concord the time it desperately needed. Every weapon, every technology, every tactic will be brought to bear in a bid to defend thousands of worlds and trillions of people from annihilation. 
    The enemy that emerges from the civil war victorious is like nothing Concord has ever faced. A boundless legion of Rasu—now interlinked and of one collective mind due to their integration of kyoseil—prepares to sweep across Concord space in a devastating tidal wave. 
    But there might be a way to stop them. It will mean two individuals must take upon themselves the burden of committing genocide, so the innocent beings they protect need never know how such an act comes with a price. 
    “There has never been a timeline like this one before.” 
    A war has been waged for endless aeons. Our greatest champions fight it again and again across millions of years, in a tireless endeavor to save not merely innumerable lives but existence itself. 
    With Mesme’s secret revealed, the enormity of the stakes is clear to all, and humanity and its allies are united as they brace for the return of the Rasu. 
    But the enemy has a secret, too—one that may ensure Concord’s destruction, as it has countless times before. 
    * 
    In Amaranthe, where exotic alien life, AIs, wormholes, indestructible starships and the promise of immortality rule the day, no feat seems out of reach for humanity. But when the worlds of Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir collide and the Rasu horde descends upon them both, more will be asked of heroes past and future. More will be given and more taken, and when the dust settles the very fabric of Amaranthe will be altered forever.
