  There's a reason the Starlight Fae are known as the greatest tricksters of all. Unfortunately for Delphine, she's just begun to learn that. 
   
   
   
  She was warned they were not to be trusted—even when those same fae claim to share the blood running through her own veins. True to his word, Seren did not let Delphine die in Avarath, but he didn't take her home, either. No, the king of the Starlight Court took her even further away. He took her to another faerie realm. 
   
   
   
  But in some ways, the ways that matter the most, the two realms remain the same. 
   
  Elysia is still faerie, and so despite Seren's promises to protect her, it's the most dangerous place for Delph to be . . . especially when the four fae who tried to kill her once somehow do the impossible and find her again. Caldamir. Tethys. Armene. Nyx. The four princes of Avarath. The four princes who betrayed her. 
   
  The re-emergence of the Starlight Court has changed everything. The collision of realms broke something, and it's only a matter of time before even Delphine's own fae turn on her too. 
   
   
   
  She's already made one deal with the king of this new realm and lived to tell the tale. This time, she'll make sure she gets home. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  An elegant, beautiful, and inspiring epic exploring a semiotic paradise! 
  Nietzsche called homo sapien the “murderer of all murderers” when he declared that “God is dead” at the turn of the 20th Century. Yet, the great god Pan died nearly 2,000 years ago. Thamus, are you there? Take care. The Obsolescence of Oracles followed. All Earths’ mightiest Heroes swallowed. And what of the Poets hallowed? “Who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?” 
  All Earths’ religions burn, including science. Earth is lost, Eternity follows. In a universe long lost it is written that a Phoenix rises from the ashes. So a Phoenix rises, however improbable. 
  The first in a trilogy, Phoenix Saga is written in waves of Hope and Love for a lost species on a beautiful planet in a vast Universe. A Modern Mythos for Peace on Earth in a 22nd century and beyond.  
  Shall we do something we’ve never done?

  The delightfully heartwarming romance from bestselling author Sarah Hope 
  The Cornish sea air, old friends, and cuddles with a cute pup... 
  Sometimes you're just where you need to be... 
  After a difficult break-up, Poppy is keen to put the past behind her and what’s better than some relaxing time with her aunt in the picturesque Cornish village of West Par? 
  But life at her aunt Flora’s Dogs’ Home is anything but relaxing. When a poor little pup is stranded at the gates, Poppy takes them for a check up at the local vet, hoping against hope they'll be fine. 
  And there she meets Mack: the vet who is so charming and experienced with the dogs, but selfish and – dare she say it – money-grabbing with his clients.

  The coming-of-age story of one of Jamaica Kincaid's most admired creations—newly available in audio 
   
   
   
  Lucy, a teenage girl from the West Indies, comes to North America to work as an au pair for Lewis and Mariah and their four children. Lewis and Mariah are a thrice-blessed couple—handsome, rich, and seemingly happy. Yet, almost at once, Lucy begins to notice cracks in their beautiful facade. With mingled anger and compassion, Lucy scrutinizes the assumptions and verities of her employers' world and compares them with the vivid realities of her native place. Lucy has no illusions about her own past, but neither is she prepared to be deceived about where she presently is. 
   
   
   
  At the same time that Lucy is coming to terms with Lewis's and Mariah's lives, she is also unraveling the mysteries of her own sexuality. Gradually a new person unfolds: passionate, forthright, and disarmingly honest. In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid has created a startling new character possessed with adamantine clearsightedness and ferocious integrity—a captivating heroine for our time.
