Sinopse

Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787-1864) was a Serbian philologist, anthropologist and linguist. He was one of the most important reformers of the modern Serbian language. For his collection and preservation of Serbian folktales, the Encyclopædia Britannica labelled Karadžić «the father of Serbian folk-literature scholarship». He was also the author of the first Serbian dictionary in the new reformed language. In addition, he translated the New Testament into the reformed form of the Serbian spelling and language.
Literary historian Jovan Deretić summarized his work as «During his fifty years of tireless activity, he accomplished as much as an entire academy of sciences».
Baš Čelik, meaning "head of steel" (from Turkish baş for "head" and çelik for "steel"), is a traditional Serbian fairy tale, collected by Vuk Karadžić.
The name of the tale was also translated as Bash Tchelik or Bashtchelik ("Real Steel", "True Steel") and it was also collected by British author Elodie Lawton Mijatović and included, in 1916, in the collection Edmund Dulac's Fairy Book; Fairy Tales of the Allied Nations, published in New York, edited by the French artist and illustrator Edmund Dulac.

Originally published in the July 1934 issue of Wonder Stories. It was followed four months later by a sequel, "Valley of Dreams" in the same magazine. These classic stories take us to Mars where we meet a Martian, or at least something very different from us, and several other completely original specimens of life. The Martian "Tweel" looks like an ostrich and the Egyptian god Osiris - for good reason, as you will find out if you listen to the story! These are both classic, funny, strange, entertaining, and, in my opinion, great stories by an imaginative master

My life has never been normal. Raised by a survivalist, taught how to endure anything, I've learned to rely on myself. To keep my head down—to mind my own business. That all changes when I hear the screams. 
 
 
 
There, in that filthy alley, I thought I was pulling Emmeline out of the darkness and toward safety, but it turns out, she was pulling me in. My new friend's world collides with my own, and they couldn't be more different. Where I spend my days alone, she rarely can. Not with four brooding brothers hellbent on her protection, watching over her every move. 
 
 
 
Guardians that set their sights on me, who want to claim me as their own. 
 
 
 
Theirs is a world of violence and bloodshed, of teeth and fangs. Monsters lurk in the shadows, just waiting for their chance to strike. A sane person would be terrified, but even as danger closes in around us, I know without a shadow of a doubt that they're bigger threats than the ones they tell me I should fear. 
 
 
 
To protect their family, they'll become the monsters of legends and myths. The question is, if I'm supposed to be their salvation, does that mean I'm even more cursed than they are? 
 
 
 
To save us all, am I willing to damn myself?

My mates think I can extinguish their demons, but I know better. I'm gasoline and wind, fanning the flames higher. 
 
 
 
I'm finally starting to believe that I've found the place I belong, that maybe life holds more than loneliness and pain. Naturally, that's when my mother's past catches up to me. 
 
 
 
When the mates she ran from send three foreign alphas to our door to drag me back "home," my dream of a happy life surrounded by my men begins to crack into jagged little pieces. These new alphas claim to want what's best for me. But while Emmy's suitors came bearing gifts of luxury, mine only bring one painful revelation after another, threatening my already tenuous grasp on sanity. 
 
 
 
Secrets spread like poison, rising from the shadows to infect everything they touch. 
 
 
 
And all the while, wolves are closing in around us, attempting to snuff us out once and for all. But I'm tired of being hunted, sick of paying the price for simply existing. I may not be the Slaughters' daughter in blood, but I'll choose to be in name. After all, it isn't the creature in our chests that makes us less than human; it's us. 
 
 
 
We're monsters whether or not we ever set ours free.
