Rain (Hudson #1)
by V.C. AndrewsRain already knows how hard life can be, but she is about to discover a shattering secret from the past that will change her future forever...Growing up in the ghettos of Washington, D.C., the cards are stacked against a hardworking dreamer like Rain Arnold. Rain has fought to be the best daughter she can: she studies hard and gets good grades; she helps her mother cook and clean. And unlike her defiant younger sister, she avoids the dangers of the city streets as if her life depends on it...and it does. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never truly fit in, that she is a stranger in her own world. Then one fateful night, Rain overhears something she shouldn't: a heartbreaking revelation from the past, a long-buried secret that is about to change her life in ways she never could have imagined. In the blink of an eye, everything Rain has ever known—the family she has loved and the familiar place she has called home is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with total strangers, the wealthy Hudson family. But just as she did not belong to the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in this realm of luxury and privilege. With nowhere to turn, Rain finds an escape in the theater, inside the walls of an exclusive private school. But will it be enough to fulfill her heart's deepest wish and give her a place to call home?

That's the question.A late-night phone call brings more bad news: Phil's sister has died, leaving her ten-year-old daughter Betsy an orphan and naming Phil as guardian. It seems like a bad time to bring a child into this unhappy house, but Phil had always promised he'd take care of Betsy - and now she's all the family he has left.What he can't know is that Betsy is a very special child. She has the ability to sense the powerful emotions of the past, to hear voices of the dead, and to see the uncanny powers that are closing in around this house...James P.

Russian assassins bearing weapons of immense power have assembled under one command: all those who loved Lawrence Stratford must die. From the glowing jewels at their necks comes an incredible supernatural force: the power to bring statues to life. As Ramses and his allies, including the immortal queens Cleopatra and Bektaten, gather together to battle these threats, Ramses reveals that the great weapon may have roots in an ancient Egyptian ritual designed to render pharaohs humble before Osiris, the god of the underworld.

Rangandhala: रंगांधळा
by Ratnakar Matkariमध्यरात्री त्याला अचानक जाग आली, ती कसल्यातरी ‘खळ्ळ्’ आवाजाने. अंधारातच त्याने खोलीभर नजर फिरवली. आणि एक गोष्ट लक्षात येऊन, त्याच्या छातीत धस्स झाले! आवाज झाला होता, तो दरवाजाच्या कडीचा. त्याने पक्की लावलेली कडी आपोआप निघाली होती. आणि दार सावकाश उघडू लागले होते… जागच्या जागी खिळल्यासारखा, जगन्नाथ ते दृश्य पाहत राहिला. दारात एक जख्ख म्हातारा उभा होता. बोडका. लांबुडक्या डोक्याला तुळतुळीत टक्कल पडलेले, चेहरा सुरकुत्यांनी मढलेला. गालाची हाडे वर आलेली, आणि अस्थिपंजर शरीर. डोळे मात्र निखाऱ्यासारखे चमकत होते. नजर जगन्नाथवर रोखलेली होती. जगन्नाथने किंकाळी मारली, पण ती ओठातून बाहेर फुटलीच नाही. त्या बोडक्या म्हातायाने त्याला आपल्याबरोबर चलण्याची खूण केली. जगन्नाथ चालू लागला. खरेतर त्याला जायचे नव्हते, पण स्वत:च्या इच्छाशक्तीवर जणू त्याचा ताबाच राहिलेला नव्हता. सर्व शक्ती एकवटून तिथून पळून जावे, असे वाटत होते, पण मनाचे सांगणे पाय मानत नव्हते. कुठे निघाले होते ते दोघे? अगदी नेहमीच्या वास्तवातून रत्नाकर मतकरी आपल्या वाचकाला एका अद्भुत प्रदेशात घेऊन जातात. गूढ, भयप्रद, अनामिक. त्यांचे बोट धरून वाचक झपाटल्यासारखा पानांमागून पाने उलटत जातो… तरुण मनाच्या वाचकांना संमोहित करणाया, मतकरींच्या वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण आगळ्यावेगळ्या गूढकथांचा संग्रह.
