Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Robert William Chambers, a successful, influential and chameleonic writer


First published in 1909, "The Danger Mark" is a novel by American writer Robert W. Chambers. "The Danger Mark" is one of Chambers' most popular novels and has been translated into several other languages around the world. In addition, a silent drama film based on this book was directed by Hugh Ford in 1918.
In the early years of his literary career, Chambers focused on weird horror, earning the admiration of his peers, including the great H.P. Lovecraft. Later he turned his attention to high-society drama and romance, but his treatment of these seemingly trivial topics is freighted with the same intensity and intrigue that characterized his previous work.
"The Danger Mark" follows the ups and downs of an orphaned twin whose hedonistic tendencies may prove to be her downfall. A gripping story filled with wealth, romance, adventure and one woman's struggle with addiction.

"The Mark of Danger" lives up to Chambers' penchant for walking on the edge of what was acceptable to the society of the time and then stepping beyond it with tact and grace.

    Description:
    For her entire life, Sunny Wells has been in Julian's hands.
    
    He named her. He chose her major. He got her a job. He decided what she ate, what she wore, who she spent time with — and called it love.
    
    When he found someone who challenged him intellectually and left Sunny behind, she had no idea how to exist without him. She had never learned.
    
    Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.
    
    *Blooming Alone* is the story of what Sunny builds next — through failed assignments, late nights, a competition she enters expecting to lose, and a prestigious career she earns entirely on her own.
    
    By the time Julian comes back to say he made a mistake, Sunny has found something far more valuable than his apology.
    
    She has found herself.

    Description:
    At fifteen, Rory Ellison was brilliant, ambitious, and completely out of options.
    
    An arranged engagement to Nathan Harrington — heir to one of the wealthiest families in the state — had been decided for her by a powerful old man she couldn't refuse. Nathan despised her. His mother plotted against her. And the professor who'd engineered it all watched from a distance, testing her without mercy.
    
    So Rory decided to play the long game.
    
    She would become Nathan's most devoted, most humiliating admirer. She would make herself indispensable to the family — and unbearable to him. She would maneuver every piece into place, and then, at exactly the right moment, walk away.
    
    *All I Ever Wanted Was Out* is a razor-sharp story of a girl who refused to be someone else's prize — and the decade it took to prove it.
    
    Some games are won by never playing the way they expect.
