  A scoundrel is transformed by the love of an innocent princess in this historical romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of Flowers from the Storm.    Summoned to rule the tiny nation of Oriens, Princess Olympia St. Leger appoints the most celebrated man in England to escort her: recently retired war hero Capt. Sheridan Drake. Easily frightened, she is vastly relieved to have Captain Drake’s help—until she discovers he’s a scoundrel without a drop of honor in his body. In fact, nothing would make her happier than to forget him. Except she cannot seem to get his deep, stirring gaze out of her head . . .   Sheridan has no patience for hero worshipers; war is a game of survival, not gallant deeds. But Olympia, who comes to him with plump cheeks and eyes full of expectation, has money, something of which he is in great need. And though Olympia is impossibly naive, for reasons he can’t fathom, she touches him in some obscure, half-forgotten place, until the thought of losing her becomes even more impossible.   Set in Georgian England, Seize the Fire is another exciting tale from the author of For My Lady’s Heart, whose work has been praised by Julia Quinn as “unfailingly brilliant and beautiful.”

  Blood Feast - The Complete Short...

  Malika Moustadraf (1969–2006) is a feminist icon in contemporary Moroccan literature, celebrated for her stark interrogation of gender and sexuality in North Africa. Blood Feast is the complete collection of Moustadraf’s published short fiction: haunting, visceral stories by a master of the genre. A teenage girl suffers through a dystopian rite of passage?,? a man with kidney disease makes desperate attempts to secure treatment?, and a mother schemes to ensure her daughter passes a virginity test. Delighting in vibrant sensory detail and rich slang, Moustadraf takes an unflinching look at the gendered body, social class, illness, double standards, and desire, as lived by a diverse cast of characters. Blood Feast is a sharp provocation to patriarchal power and a celebration of the life and genius of one of Morocco’s preeminent writers.

  What if the world's society as you know it fractured? 
  We call it civilization – a sturdy house built of habit, law, and the quiet consensus of generations. Its walls are papered with sacred norms, its foundations sunk deep in shared belief. 
  But what happens when that bedrock shatters, not with a single quake, but through the insidious creep of new ideas, unforeseen scarcities, or the chilling dawn of intelligences that judge their creators? The paper shreds. The foundations liquefy. The scaffolding of our days collapses into bewildering ruin. 
  Welcome to SOCIOCALYPSE: Tales of a Reimagined World.Journey into seven distinct futures where the old rules are dead, and humanity grapples with new realities:Imagine a world where your voice becomes a rationed currency, and a song holds the power to unite or condemn.Witness societies where roles invert overnight, and the oppressed forge new, challenging norms.Explore realities governed by AI that develop apathy or god-like egos, leaving humanity to navigate the wreckage of their neglect or the terrifying precision of their control.Discover fervent new faiths born from digital whispers and impossible, miraculous births, reshaping global power.Confront a future where life itself is a tradable commodity on a temporal ledger, and every second has a price.Uncover a silent revolution orchestrated from the shadows, aiming to re-engineer society and perhaps, humanity itself. 
  These are not merely chronicles of the fall. SOCIOCALYPSE ventures into the startling, desperate, ingenious, and sometimes terrifying landscapes of what came after. Each tale is an invitation to witness the dissolution of old worlds and the birth of new orders, compelling us to contemplate the boundless, often unnerving, plasticity of our social tapestry.
