You're not broken. You needed to shed a skin. We all do sometimes... Grieving the death of her father, Neysa Obecan leaves her high-powered Los Angeles finance job for the tranquility of an English coastal town. When she meets her brooding new landlord, Cade, and his snarky cousins, they reveal that Neysa is far more than the human she believed herself to be. The four crystals that halt the deterioration of the Veil between the human and fae realms, have gone missing. Neysa's new friends are fae emissaries tasked with securing the stones, and she may be their missing piece - making her a target for all those who want to see the Veil destroyed. As she struggles to accept her true identity - and the truth of her father's life's work - Neysa is dragged into a quest to save more than one world. In their pursuit of the crystals, Neysa finds herself separated from everything she knows; fighting for her life, the realms, and a love she thought she would never have. A love so powerful it could very well be the key to survival for humans and fae alike. A new kind of contemporary fantasy full of romance, magic, strong female friendships, and found family.

Download In the Skin of a Beast Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In medieval literature, when humans and animals meet—whether as friends or foes—issues of mastery and submission are often at stake. In the Skin of a Beast shows how the concept of sovereignty comes to the fore in such narratives, reflecting larger concerns about relations of authority and dominion at play in both human-animal and human-human interactions. Peggy McCracken discusses a range of literary texts and images from medieval France, including romances in which animal skins appear in symbolic displays of power, fictional explorations of the wolf’s desire for human domestication, and tales of women and snakes converging in a representation of territorial claims and noble status. These works reveal that the qualities traditionally used to define sovereignty—lineage and gender among them—are in fact mobile and contingent. In medieval literary texts, as McCracken demonstrates, human dominion over animals is a disputed model for sovereign relations among people: it justifies exploitation even as it mandates protection and care, and it depends on reiterations of human-animal difference that paradoxically expose the tenuous nature of human exceptionalism.

Download The History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents and Insects Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
First Published in 1967. This is volume one of three of The History of Four- footed Beasts taken principally from the ‘ Historite Animalium’ of Conrad Gesner. During the first decade of the seventeenth century, when Topsell prepared his translation, zoology had just become a science. It has a unique place: It was the first major book on animals printed in Great Britain in English; and it appeared at the last moment in history when all zoological knowledge since antiquity could be summarized sympathetically, before it was rendered a curiosity by the many new discoveries soon to come.

When Taj is called to eat a sin of a member of the royal family, he’s suddenly thrust into the center of a dark conspiracy to destroy Kos.

A New York Times Editors' Choice and Notable Book of 2021 "Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror of 2021"—The Washington Post From one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Chinese literature, an uncanny and playful novel that blurs the line between human and beast… In the fictional Chinese city of Yong’an, an amateur cryptozoologist is commissioned to uncover the stories of its fabled beasts. These creatures live alongside humans in near-inconspicuousness—save their greenish skin, serrated earlobes, and strange birthmarks. Aided by her elusive former professor and his enigmatic assistant, our narrator sets off to document each beast, and is slowly drawn deeper into a mystery that threatens her very sense of self. Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry, Strange Beasts of China engages existential questions of identity, humanity, love and morality with whimsy and stylistic verve.
