    Lion - A Novel

    Lion is about an unlikely parent, more legend than presence in his daughter's life. He is a charismatic, dashing bon-vivant, a polo player, race car driver, cocaine addict, ex-con, pilot, and sky-diver. Born in the aftershocks of Argentina's greatest earthquake, he is like a minor god who comes down to earth in a grand manner, falling in all the ways there are to fall. 
     
     
     
    Lion is a double portrait told in a perpetual present tense that moves back and forth between present-day Los Angeles, where the narrator lives with her family and works as an actress, and the past of her peripatetic childhood, spent shuttling between her mother in England, boarding school, and her father and his successive wives in Buenos Aires and Lima. 
     
     
     
    Sonya Walger's stunning autobiographical debut is an emotionally acute palimpsest of a novel about a father and daughter, in which the drama and incident, love and tragedy that make up his life make up hers as well. The legend of his life and her distinctive and imaginatively charged telling of it make for an engrossing and unforgettable family saga.

As they flit through lantern-veiled thickets and heart-haunted crossroads, shadowed by mischief pixies and lost soul hunters, Lumen's wisp light merges with Ronan's steadfast stride, revealing a fae lantern legend of homed light. When a dimmed lantern summons fog beasts, they must reignite the glow to find the hearth.

    Big, tatted-out bull shifter Maddox used to work as a thug for hire, but now he's a drifter with his old life in ruins. All he knows is that he wants to be better than he was. When he hitchhikes into the small town of Silvermine, Arizona, he's not planning to stay. But first he helps out a teenager in trouble, and the next thing he knows, the kid's alluring aunt walks into his life, and runs away with his heart. For the first time in his life, Maddox has something of his own to protect. 
     
     
     
    Blind tea-shop owner Verity has been caught up in a dangerous struggle with the town's corrupt sheriff and a greedy landowner trying to force her to sell. First Maddox saves her niece, and then he offers to help her save her business. Teaming up might be the solution she's been hoping for, but Verity has spent her life learning not to believe in happy endings. 
     
     
     
    And with a sheriff who would break every law to stop them, it'll take all his strength, her wits, and their courage to get out of this alive . . .
