Sinopse

A novel of a lesbian coming of age in Depression-era small-town Texas: “The love child of Fannie Flagg and Rita Mae Brown . . . [a] ravishing debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   It's 1923 in Midland, Texas, and Miss Dara falls in love with her best friend―who also happens to be a girl. Terrified, Miss Dara takes a job at the Imperial State Prison Farm for men. Once there, she befriends inmate and soon-to-be legendary blues singer Lead Belly, who sings his way out (true story)―but only after he makes her promise to free herself from her own prison…   “The story takes many delightful twists and turns, always described succinctly and colorfully by this narrator, who is irresistible even on days when she's ‘retaining enough water to grow rice in Arizona’ . . . A postcard of small-town Texas life from Prohibition through civil rights, tracing the treatment and awareness of gay people through these decades.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “How can you not adore a novel about love, food, and how working in a prison can help you discover who you really are? Every page has a beating heart; every character is so alive, you swear you hear them breathing. Stoner is an original and this debut is just fantastic.” —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times–bestselling author of With or Without You

    What happens when the Chief of Security wakes up as the familiar to a man who doesn’t know he’s a witch? Chaos. 
    Quentin Silverbrook has never really belonged anywhere. At fifteen, his parents divorced, and his father took a job in Mont de Leucoy. Now twenty-two, he hasn’t left even though there is nothing keeping him there…until he is blackmailed into watching the building over the road from the bar where he works.  
    With Dalmon back in England, Gerrit injured, and Everest ruling by proxy, Kaine Lenoir, the only phoenix shifter not part of the royal family in this life, is feeling the pressure to take down the Shadow Board before more people die and paranormals are exposed to humans.  
    One night to blow off some tension turns into a disaster when the man turns out to be his fated mate. Worse, he is an untrained mind-reading witch.  
    The only positive is that Quentin is being blackmailed by the Shadow Board. All Kaine needs to do is find a way to use that—to use Quentin—to destroy the Board. Have the Fates stacked the deck in his favor, or will he create a soul bruise that will haunt them both for lifetimes?  
    A one-night stand turns into forever as a witch discovers the hidden world of paranormals and takes control of his magic while being dazzled by the wealth and secrets of the phoenix shifters that make up the royal family.

    The ecclesiastical machine demands a very specific kind of quiet. But the earth remembers what the church tries to bury. 
    For decades, Abbess Ursula Umbra has maintained the Bone Orchard with ruthless, cold precision. By using the calcified remains of condemned nobles to fertilize grafted fruit trees, she extracts powerful resurrection seeds that fuel a dying dominion. She has built an intellectual fortress around her own deeply repressed guilt, justifying the horrific harvest as a necessary, divine duty. But her severe, meticulously ordered world is shattered the morning the soil tears open—and a living, breathing young man claws his way out of a grave. 
    Arthur Addison is an impossible miracle, a resurrected boy born from the suffering of an ancient, sleeping beastline chained beneath the estate. His existence is a heresy that threatens to collapse the entire holy order of the choir-princes. Desperate to maintain control, Ursula intends to classify and conceal the terrifying anomaly. 
    But she did not anticipate the fierce defiance of Aelwen Amaranth, the estate's battle-hardened lay protector. Aelwen refuses to let a terrified boy become a casualty of the church's bloody ledgers. Her unconditional compassion strikes directly at Ursula's heavily armored heart, igniting a dangerous, undeniable romance that forces the Abbess to question everything she has ever believed. 
    Roots of the Condemned is the breathtaking third volume of The Cathedral Bestiary by John Newbill. It is a decadent dark fantasy woven with gothic horror, Sapphic romance, and an epic struggle against a corrupt theocracy. In a world powered by sanctified cruelty, choosing mercy is the ultimate act of treason. Will Ursula burn her doctrine to save the woman she is falling for—or will the relentless ecclesiastical machine devour them all?
