Summary

Maria; Or, The Wrongs of Woman is a groundbreaking feminist novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the earliest advocates for women's rights and considered a pioneer of feminist thought. Published posthumously in 1798, the novel explores themes of oppression, injustice, and female autonomy within the context of late 18th-century British society.

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was an English writer, philosopher, and advocate for women's rights. She is best known for her pioneering work in feminist literature, particularly her groundbreaking treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), which argued for the equal education and treatment of women in society.

    Fighter. Misfit. Heart thief. 
How long can Chadora’s throne sit empty? That is the question on everyone’s mind as they wait for the rightful heir to return for his crown. Patience is not Eda’s strong suit, and she has an idea to speed things along that just might work. The youngest Suttone has found her voice, and now she is determined to be heard. If they will not listen to her words, then she will speak with her sword. It is time to step outside the walls. But first she must get past the only man brave enough to stand in her way. 
Roul Thornton has a five-year plan and too many secrets. As he guards those within Chadora’s walls, he is acutely aware that the people who need his protection most exist outside of them. At least, that was true right up until he met the youngest Suttone sister. She needs protecting from herself. Eda is fire and heart and wit and trouble—and the biggest threat to his plan. He is about to follow her down a dangerous path. With his loyalties already divided, Roul must ensure his heart remains wholly intact. 
This is the third book in the medieval dystopian series Kingdom of Walls. If you enjoy heart-racing action, witty dialogue, and a fierce heroine, then this high-drama love story is for you.

    Ella: As I struggle to stay afloat in the housekeeping hustle, a handsome guest and I have a magical night sneaking into the pool, making wishes under the stars, and spilling secrets. But at midnight, I risk turning into a pumpkin, er, my not-so-fancy self, compared to the pro hockey player with the expensive watch. Time is slipping through my fingers as the bill for my dad's care comes due. 
 
 
 
Jack: I'm a hockey superstar, famous for scoring goals and stealing hearts, but I'm at a career crossroads. After a fun and flirty weekend, sparks fly, but there's trouble off the ice because she's not the trophy my billionaire father has in mind for me. 
 
 
 
Ella: When he suggests we level up our fake relationship to a fake engagement, I don't have anything to lose except my sense of reality as I'm swept into his wealthy world—and my grip on my emotions because this is starting to feel real. 
 
 
 
Jack: Before we met, my life was mapped out, but she changed the game. Some argue it's for the worst. But I've never felt—or played—better. Before, retirement from the league loomed. Now I have a new goal and it's a future with her.

Fist-sized cockroaches. Bird-sized wasps. Spiders, millipedes, ticks, all swollen to enormous bulk with vicious appetites to match. And other things, creatures that should never exist. 
 
Through the night they come, slithering, buzzing, scuttling, crawling over skin, burrowing into flesh, making the town their nest. 
Time is soon running out for Crease and the other survivors, as that hideous skittering noise closes in from all around…
