In this thrilling coming of age adventure, a female ninja -- a deadly flower -- faces a host of extraordinary…
obstacles some of them supernatural, when she takes on her first lethal assignment. Some violence. For junior and senior highBy Celu Amberston. 2022

stories from a celebrated author. Selkies and dragons have their tales to tell here. Ghosts and aliens with their own agendas and a troll interact with humans in stories that reference myths in new ways. Here, the reader will find reverence and reflection as well as adventure, and even humour. Refugees And Other Stories is a collection of stories by author Celu Amberstone. Previously available only in anthologies and magazines, these stories are gathered together here for the first time. Drawing on her Indigenous and Celtic heritage, Amberstone writes powerful fiction subtly different from the usual science fiction or fantasy adventures. The introduction to her fine collection of stories is written by author and professor Dr Allan Weiss, whose specialization is in Canadian Literature. Amberstone integrates her Celtic and Indigenous heritage into these stories. Her characters (whether human, alien, or mythic beings) are strangers in a strange land, at the intersection of the real world and words of magic - and if that makes you think of Heinlein and LeGuin, you are on the right track." -- Provided by publisherBy Nancy Springer. 2021

"Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times bestseller Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with a darkly inventive portrait of…
a city under occupation and on the verge of revolution. There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood - that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores. Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the gateway to a thousand worse places. Ilmar, City of Long Shadows. City of Bad Decisions. City of Last Chances." -- Provided by publisherBy Tim Waggoner. 2018
"Jayce's twenty-year-old daughter Emory is missing, lost in a dark, dangerous realm called Shadow that exists alongside our own reality.…
An enigmatic woman named Nicola guides Jayce through this bizarre world, and together they search for Emory, facing deadly dog-eaters, crazed killers, homicidal sex toys, and - worst of all - a monstrous being known as the Harvest Man. But no matter what Shadow throws at him, Jayce won't stop. He'll do whatever it takes to find his daughter, even if it means becoming a worse monster than the things that are trying to stop him." -- Provided by publisherBy David Weber. 2007
"It began with two men. They came from very different worlds - entirely different universes, in fact - and they…
met in a virgin forest on a duplicate planet Earth. Neither of them had expected it, but both of them realized how important the first contact with any other transuniversal human civilization might be. But something went wrong. Neither side knows who shot first. But both the magic-using civilization of Arcana and steel-and-steam age Sharona, with its psionic Talents, think it was the other side. And it doesn't really matter now, because the original incident has snowballed. Both sides have additional dead to mourn; both sides have additional wrongs to avenge. Both sides have additional military forces moving toward the front. War between the universes is the last thing responsible leaders on either side want. But the fury of their respective populations, xenophobic fear of the unknown, and cries for justice (or vengeance) are all driving both sides toward the brink. The actions of local military commanders and diplomats may well determine the final outcome, and unscrupulous, power-hungry men - and Arcana and Sharona alike - have agendas of their own. The fuse has been lit, and a war stretching across the universes, across an endless succession of identical Earths, fought between dragons, spells, and crossbows and repeating rifles, machine guns, and artillery is about to begin in white-hot rage and fury. Where it will end - and how - no one knows." -- Provided by publisherBy Mally Cox-Chapman. 1977

"Hermógenes Arbusto, tax adviser and successful businessman, sees death enter his office one day, and, reacting quickly, manages to dodge…
the blow of the scythe, rushes to the door, leaves in a hurry, and locks and deadbolts it behind him, leaving the reaper locked inside. Shortly after, and while he is getting his wits about him in Madrid's Plaza Mayor, he reaches a Faustian pact with the devil, the distinguished Forcas (with permission to travel to Earth), to whom he sells his soul in order to be free, at least temporarily, from meeting the Cold Lady again. Meanwhile, Tomás Beovide, poet and Literature teacher at the Juan García Hortelano Secondary School, corrects exams, laments the abandonment of his girlfriend, grieves happily over his unhappy love encounter with Maribel Arbusto and consoles himself by listening with joy to the long-suffering love songs of his admired Julie London. And we don't go on counting because everything that follows is pure nonsense, a narrative implausibility where a wild and stubborn nonsense builds its own logic until it blows any reasonable expectation or argument out of the water." -- Translation provided by NLSBy David Treuer. 2022

The narrative unfolds to reveal the deeply entwined stories of the three generations of Little's family, including Stan, a veteran of the Vietnam War who believes Little is his son; Duke and Ellis, the twins who built the first house in Poverty after losing their community to smallpox and influenza; Jeannette, the matriarch who loved both Duke and Ellis and who walked hundreds of miles to reunite with them. Each of these characters carries a piece of the mystery of Little's short life. UnratedBy Diana Gabaldon. 2017
