The Emperor's Egg
by Martin JenkinsThis introduction to the Emperor penguin of Antarctica furnishes factual information as we follow one father penguin's two-month stint on the ice, keeping his egg warm on his feet "tucked right up under" his tummy. In simple language, with humor and much empathy for the dad, the text rambles across the pages, using oversize type for emphasis, and telling an engrossing tale of endurance. In smaller italics, basic facts are added. The hatching of the chick and reappearance of the mother allow the hungry father to eat at last. It's about time, too! Chapman's naturalistic paintings zoom in on such details as the tucked-in egg, and sometimes expand to depict the vast blue-white nothingness of the landscape. The visual story is told with considerable clarity and enough variety to entice the reader to turn the page. The penguin on the jacket/cover is very appealing. An index is included. Library Journal

The Emperor's Winding Sheet
by Jill Paton WalshFamished, terrified, exhausted, a boy drops from the tree in which he has hidden just as Constantine, last Emperor of the Romans, is about to receive his crown in a monastery garden. By this accident, Piers Barber, a shipwrecked young seaman from Bristol, England, now renamed Vrethiki ("lucky find"), becomes an unwilling talisman to the Emperor, for it has been prophesied that if there is even one person who is at his side when he takes the crown, stays with him always, the City will not perish. This is the story of the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and of the siege that marked the end of the proud, ancient Byzantine Empire.

And in time he comes to see the City as a vision worth dying for and the Emperor as his own true lord.

Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward – one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. But having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. The ruling class has held control over planets and systems for centuries and they are not going to give up their power willingly, especially not to a teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who they consider nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. Nemesis knows she will protect Tyrus at any cost; he is the love of her life and they are partners in this new beginning. But she also knows she can't protect him by being the killing machine she once was. Instead she will have to prove the humanity that she’s found inside herself to the whole Empire – or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne... they might lose their lives. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard and George R.R. Martin, The Empress will take you on a thrilling ride, not letting go until the very last page.
