"I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions - much good it did…
me."So begins Kaikeyi's story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on tales of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.Desperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favoured queen, determined to carve a better world for herself and the women around her.But as the evil from her childhood stories threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. And Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak - and what legacy she intends to leave behind.Praise for Kaikeyi:'Mythic retelling at its best' R. F. Kuang, author of The Poppy War'Utterly captivating from start to finish' Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart'Brave, compassionate and powerful' Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne'A lyrical and evocative retelling, full of power and grace' Ava Reid, author of The Wolf and the Woodsman'Compulsively readable and infinitely compassionate' Roshani Chokshi, author of The Gilded Wolves'A thought-provoking, nuanced new look at one of humanity's most foundational stories' S.

WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD • This enchanting tale of a cursed mythical creature and the…
lonely fisherman who falls in love with her is "a daring, mesmerizing novel … single-handedly bringing magic realism up-to-date (Maggie O&’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet).In 1976, David is fishing off the island of Black Conch when he comes upon a creature he doesn&’t expect: a mermaid by the name of Aycayia. Once a beautiful young woman, she was cursed by jealous wives to live in this form for the rest of her days. But after the mermaid is caught by American tourists, David rescues and hides her away in his home, finding that, once out of the water, she begins to transform back into a woman. Now David must work to win Aycayia's trust while she relearns what it is to be human, navigating not only her new body but also her relationship with others on the island—a difficult task after centuries of loneliness. As David and Aycayia grow to love each other, they juggle both the joys and the dangers of life on shore. But a lingering question remains: Will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse? Taking on many points of view, this mythical adventure tells the story of one woman&’s return to land, her healing, and her survival.

Akutagawa’s magical final work is a short novel with a magic spell all its own—poignant, fantastical, wry, melancholic, and witty…
The Kappa is a creature from Japanese folklore known for dragging unwary toddlers to their deaths in rivers: a scaly, child-sized creature, looking something like a frog, but with a sharp, pointed beak and an oval-shaped saucer on top of its head, which hardens with age. Akutagawa’s Kappa is narrated by Patient No. 23, a madman in a lunatic asylum: he recounts how, while out hiking in Kamikochi, he spots a Kappa. He decides to chase it and, like Alice pursuing the White Rabbit, he tumbles down a hole, out of the human world and into the realm of the Kappas. There he is well looked after, in fact almost made a pet of: as a human, he is a novelty. He makes friends and spends his time learning about their world, exploring the seemingly ridiculous ways of the Kappa, but noting many—not always flattering—parallels to Japanese mores regarding morality, legal justice, economics, and sex. Alas, when the patient eventually returns to the human world, he becomes disgusted by humanity and, like Gulliver missing the Houyhnhnms, he begins to pine for his old friends the Kappas, rather as if he has been forced to take leave of Toad of Toad Hall…

In the four provinces of Ireland there are thirty-two counties. Each county and its people have their own traditions, beliefs…
and folklore – and each one is also inhabited by the Sidhe: an ancient and magical race. Some believe they are descended from fallen angels, whilst others say they are the progeny of Celtic deities. They go by many names: the good folk, the wee folk, the gentle people and the fey, but are most commonly known as ‘the fairies’.These are not the whimsical fairies of Victorian and Edwardian picture books. They are feared and revered in equal measure, and even in the twenty-first century are spoken of in hushed tones.The fairies are always listening.Storyteller Steve Lally and his wife singer-songwriter Paula Flynn Lally have compiled this magnificent collection of magical fairy stories from every county in Ireland. Filled with unique illustrations that bring these tales to life, Irish Gothic Fairy Stories will both enthral and terrify readers for generations to come.

Una settimana prima del suo compleanno un incantesimo la manda nel reame degli incubi di Maledizione - prendendo lei, una guardia fidata e il principe di un regno vicino tra le sue oscure grinfie. Scappare da quel luogo è impossibile, ma se non trovano una via per fuggire moriranno o diventeranno abitanti a vita di quel mondo delle illusioni. Se Elodie non tornerà in tempo nel suo regno potrebbe smarrirsi per sempre. Mentre combattono per le loro vite, ogni decisione esige un prezzo immane. Dovranno fare sacrifici che scaveranno vuoti nelle loro anime e ogni passo porterà a nuovi rischi. Quando la vittoria sarà a portata di mano, capiranno che richiederà una irrimediabile perdita e dovranno venire a patti con le conseguenze delle loro azioni.
