Summary

Mary Jane Holmes (April 5, 1825 – October 6, 1907)[1] was an American author who published 39 novels, as well as short stories. Her first novel sold 250,000 copies; and she had total sales of 2 million books in her lifetime, second only to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Portraying domestic life in small-town and rural settings, she examined gender relationships, as well as those of class and race. She also dealt with slavery and the American Civil War with a strong sense of moral justice. Since the late 20th century, she has received fresh recognition and reappraisal, although her popular work was excluded from most 19th-century literary histories.
Available since: 12/24/2020.

    In a world where magic is dying, Lauren Oliver is bonded to a living shadow of immense, hungry power. She is a Resonant, a weapon, a prize—and a fugitive. With her sworn protector, the swordsman Lucas Wallace, she flees the fanatical Chancellor Clarkson, a man who believes the only cure for a sick world is to burn it clean. They carry one of three legendary Confluence Shards, artifacts that hold the key to either the world’s salvation or its absolute annihilation. 
Their desperate race to find the other Shards first hurls them into a realm of mind-bending labyrinths and impossible fortresses. Forced into an alliance with a treacherous but brilliant rogue, they must navigate a world where reality itself is a weapon and every ally hides a dark secret. But the truth of Clarkson’s plan is more terrifying than any monster: he is not building a cure, but a scourge—a living weapon of pure, devouring light forged from the agony of Lauren’s captured friend. 
Now, with the fate of millions hanging by a thread, Clarkson delivers his final, chilling ultimatum. Lauren can surrender and become the final sacrifice for his new world, or she can fight and watch him erase an entire city from existence. The choice is hers: save the world by losing her soul, or save her soul by damning the world.

    Born to destroy, raised to love, condemned to choose. 
For Panthea, every breath she draws in the Southern Kingdom is an act of repression. Her faith in her goddess keeps her from sin. Her guardian, Rassus, keeps her safe. And a powerful drug keeps her deadly power in check. Yet, none can change what she is: Panthea is an Erkenblood, and her power will always be one misstep away from turning her into a mindless killer. 
But for now, her drugs are enough. Her guardian is enough. Her prayers are enough. 
Until they aren't. 
When the Queen's Inquisition raids her home in search of an ancient artifact, Rassus is hauled away, and Panthea finds herself thrust into the center of a bloody conflict with evil on both sides. Can she save the man who raised and protected her without becoming the monster the whole kingdom fears she is? Or will Panthea unleash her darkness... and sacrifice her soul in the process? 
The Erkenblood is a fast-paced, action-packed story of dark magic, familial love, and impossible choices.
