Harpy Kalindra stumbles upon three human corpses who've mysteriously crossed from Earth into Outremer through the portal she guards. A human prisoner with two traveling vampires seems her only clue. She captures the man, and brings him back to her lair to discover the truth--not only why he came to Outremer, but how he got past the defenses of the gate. She expects answers. What she doesn't expect is the intense attraction she feels for him...attraction he seems to share. Cameron has a secret. For years, he's used a shard of the gateway to cross worlds without detection--for his own gain. When the gatekeeper saves him from the clutches of vampires who want the shard, he learns she's not just another monster from Outremer. He can't resist his attraction to her human form, and before long he's feeling more than simple lust for her. Kalindra's gateway comes under constant attack from creatures who want what Cameron has. The assaults are his fault, but he can't hand over the shard, which is a family legacy. He must convince Kalindra he can help defend the gate...but how?36,000 Words

Kalona's Fall (House of Night Novellas #4)
by Kristin Cast P C CastFrom Warrior And Lover To Enemy And Betrayer, The Terrible Secrets Of Kalona's Past Are Revealed He was laughing with her as he spread his wings and lifted her from the ground, twirling her around. Nyx gasped and clutched his neck. Kalona tightened his arms around her. 'Trust me, Goddess. I would never let you fall.' From the Sun and from the Moon, two winged brothers are born: golden Erebus, playmate and friend, and mysterious Kalona, Warrior and lover, companions of the Goddess Nyx. From the first, Nyx loves them both deeply, but differently. With Erebus, she can talk and laugh and dance, and take joy in the games he plays among the humans of the Earth. With Kalona, the fire in her body burns bright, and she can rest in the solace of his strength and protection. But for Kalona, Nyx's nights are not enough. Every second he is not with her he is filled with doubt and longing, and every time he fails to please her, he cannot forgive himself. Ruled by anger and jealousy of his brother, and consumed by his love for his Goddess, Kalona seeks the power to prove his worth, and to claim once and for all that Nyx eternally belongs to him. And at the edges of the Earth, a Darkness is stirring, waiting for its chance, for the doorway in through a heart that it knows will welcome it...
Kalpa Imperial
by Angélica GorodischerThis is the first of Argentinean writer Angélica Gorodischer's nineteen award-winning books to be translated into English. In eleven chapters, Kalpa Imperial's multiple storytellers relate the story of a fabled nameless empire which has risen and fallen innumerable times. Fairy tales, oral histories and political commentaries are all woven tapestry-style into Kalpa Imperial: beggars become emperors, democracies become dictatorships, and history becomes legends and stories. But this is much more than a simple political allegory or fable. It is also a celebration of the power of storytelling. Gorodischer and translator Ursula K. Le Guin are a well-matched, sly and delightful team of magician-storytellers. Rarely have author and translator been such an effortless pairing. Kalpa Imperial is a powerful introduction to the writing of Angélica Gorodischer, a novel which will enthrall readers already familiar with the worlds of Le Guin.Selected for the New York Times Summer Reading list.* "The dreamy, ancient voice is not unlike Le Guin's, and this collection should appeal to her fans as well as to those of literary fantasy and Latin American fiction."--Library Journal (Starred Review)"There's a very modern undercurrent to the Kalpa empire, with tales focusing on power (in a political sense) rather than generic moral lessons. Her mythology is consistent--wide in scope, yet not overwhelming. The myriad names of places and people can be confusing, almost Tolkeinesque in their linguistic originality. But the stories constantly move and keep the book from becoming overwhelming. Gorodischer has a sizeable body of work to be discovered, with eighteen books yet to reach English readers, and this is an impressive introduction."--Review of Contemporary Fiction"Borges and Cortázar are alive and well."--Bridge Magazine"Those looking for offbeat literary fantasy will welcome Kalpa Imperial: The Greatest Empire That Never Was, by Argentinean writer Angélica Gorodischer. Translated from the Spanish by Ursula Le Guin, this is the first appearance in English of this prize-winning South American fantasist."--Publishers Weekly"It's always difficult to wrap up a rave review without babbling redundant praises. This time I'll simply say "Buy this Book!""--Locus"The elaborate history of an imaginary country...is Nabokovian in its accretion of strange and rich detail, making the story seem at once scientific and dreamlike."--Time Out New YorkKalpa Imperial has been awarded the Prize "Más Allá" (1984), the Prize "Sigfrido Radaelli" (1985) and also the Prize Poblet (1986). It has had four editions in Spanish: Minotauro (Buenos Aires), Alcor (Barcelona), Gigamesh (Barcelona), and Planeta Emecé Editions (Buenos Aires).Praise for the Spanish-language editions of Kalpa Imperial:"Angélica Gorodischer, both from without and within the novel, accomplishes the indispensable function Salman Rushdie says the storyteller must have: not to let the old tales die out; to constantly renew them. And she well knows, as does that one who met the Great Empress, that storytellers are nothing more and nothing less than free men and women. And even though their freedom might be dangerous, they have to get the total attention of their listeners and, therefore, put the proper value on the art of storytelling, an art that usually gets in the way of those who foster a forceful oblivion and prevent the winds of change."--Carmen Perilli, La Gaceta, Tucuman"At a time when books are conceived and published to be read quickly, with divided attention in the din of the subway or the car, this novel is to be tasted with relish, in peace, in moderation, chewing slowly each and every one of the stories that make it up, and digesting it equally slowly so as to properly assimilate it all."--Rodolfo Martinez"A vast, cyclical filigree . . . Gorodischer reaches much farther than the common run of stories about huge empires, maybe because she wasn't interested in them to begin with, and enters the realm of fable, legend, and allegory."--Luis G. Prado, Gigamesh, Barcelona
Kalyna the Cutthroat (Failures of Four Kingdoms #2)
by Elijah Kinch SpectorThe Daughters of Izdihar meets The Foxglove King: An ex-soothsayer and stranded scholar of curses upend a Utopian community that has no love for refugees. Radiant Basket of Rainbow Shells, scholar of curses and magical history, has spent several years on a research expedition abroad in Quruscan, one of the four kingdoms of theTetrarchia. When Tetrarchia and Radiant&’s home country of Loasht suddenly revoke their tenuous peace, Quruscan is no longer the safe haven for Radiant that it once was. He needs someone to help him escape: a bodyguard, perhaps, or someone with the sheer cunning to escort him to safety. The perfect candidate is Kalyna Aljosanova: a crafty, mysterious mercenary with an uncanny reputation. But the political situation in Loasht is far more volatile and dangerous than Radiant left it; it soon becomes clear that he may never be able to return home to his family. With a little of Kalyna&’s signature guile, she finds Radiant asylum in a utopian community on the border between Loasht and the Tetrarchia, and, for a moment, it seems like they might finally have a safe place to stay. But when the group&’s charismatic leader grows wary of the refugees flocking to his community—and suspicious of Kalyna in particular—that sense of safety begins to unravel once more. Kalyna the Cutthroat deftly imagines how the pressures of heroism can warp even the most unshakeable of survivors, asking what responsibilities human beings have to one another, and whether one good deed—of any magnitude—can absolve you of your past for the sake of a future.
Kalyna the Soothsayer
by Elijah Kinch SpectorA woman born without the Gift of future sight that has been her family&’s legacy for generations must pretend to tell fortunes for a prince who holds her family hostage—and navigate the potential collapse of the kingdom.
Kalyna the Soothsayer (Failures of Four Kingdoms #1)
by Elijah Kinch SpectorA plucky, sardonic con artist must &“prophesize&” her way out of peril—discovering along the way that power and politics are nothing more than stories sold as truth.Kalyna&’s family has the Gift: the ability to see the future. For generations, they traveled the four kingdoms of the Tetrarchia selling their services as soothsayers. Every child of their family is born with this Gift—everyone except Kalyna.So far, Kalyna has used informants and trickery to falsify prophecies for coin, scrounging together a living for her deteriorating father and cruel grandmother. But Kalyna&’s reputation for prophecy precedes her, and poverty turns to danger when she is pressed into service by the spymaster to Rotfelsen.Kalyna is to use her &“Gift&” to uncover threats against Rotfelsen&’s king, her family held hostage to ensure her good behavior. But politics are devious; the king&’s enemies abound, and Kalyna&’s skills for investigation and deception are tested to the limit. Worse, the conspiracy she uncovers points to a larger threat, not only to Rotfelsen but to the Tetrarchia itself. Kalyna is determined to protect her family and newfound friends, but as she is drawn deeper into palace intrigue, she can no longer tell if her manipulations are helping prevent the Tetrarchia&’s destruction—or if her lies will bring about its prophesized downfall.

Kaos (Profanebiblioteket #1)
by Jb TrepagnierProfanebiblioteket har alt det ditt svarte hjerte ønsker seg. Men vi tillater ikke hvem som helst et lånekort. Trenger du å mane frem en demon? Vekke de døde? En klan med vampyrer som plager deg? Liker du skikkelig klissete varulverotikk? Profanebiblioteket har alt dette, men det er ikke alle som kan håndtere innholdet (noen folk håndterer ikke varulvporno). Jeg har vært bibliotekar her i fem år, og når jeg sier jeg drepte for å få denne jobben, så tuller jeg ikke. Du kan ikke se gjennom bøkene våre. Noen av bøkene er selvbevisste og liker det ikke. Vi har rom for å utføre trylleformlene i, og vi har en kopimaskin (kopier koster ekstra). Da en heks kom inn og sa at de trengte å gjøre litt nekromanti, satte jeg ikke spørsmålstegn ved det. De ville ikke fått et lånekort om de skulle mane frem noe fryktelig. Jeg hjalp dem med nekromantien fordi det er en av jobbene mine som bibliotekar. Men det var ikke noe normalt de manet frem. Det var den fysiske personifikasjonen av Kaos. Da han våknet, så han meg først, og nå er han knyttet. Personifikasjonen av Kaos er en forferdelig bibliotekgjest, og han vil ikke dra med heksen som manet ham frem. Han kommer konstant inn i ting som han ikke skal, og han er sykt interessert i varulverotikk. Det er ikke sånn at jeg kan slippe ham ut, fordi Profanebiblioteket skal liksom holde igjen Kaos. Resten av verden skal ikke det. Han er også veldig dårlig på å holde identiteten sin hemmelig. En trollmann, en Helveteshund og en vampyr vet at han er her, og de maser på meg for å la Kaos ha det litt gøy. Jeg vil bare ha en normal dag med å mane frem demoner, forbanne folk og fortelle dem å være stille i biblioteket mitt. Dette er for mye.
