Prince of the Palisades
by Julian WintersYoung Royals meets Red, White, and Royal Blue in this heart-pumping romance by award-winning author Julian Winters!When roguish Prince Jadon of Îles de la Rêverie is left in America to clean up his image after a horribly public break-up gone viral, romance is not on the table. Carefully planned photo ops with puppies? Yes. Scheduled appearances with the Santa Monica elite? Absolutely. Rendezvous with a pink-haired, film-obsessed hottie from the private school where he&’s currently enrolled? Uhhhh… Together with his entourage—a bitingly witty royal guard, Rêverie&’s future queen (and Jadon&’s brilliant older sister), and a quirky royal liaison—Jadon&’s on a mission to turn things around and show his parents, and his country, that he&’s more than just a royal screw-up. If he doesn&’t prove that he&’s the prince Rêverie deserves? Well, he may not be allowed home… But falling for a not-so-royal American boy has Jadon redefining what it means to be a leader. If he can be someone&’s Prince Charming just by being himself, maybe that&’s all it takes to win over a nation. Or at least a prince can dream…
The Prince Who Became a Monk & Other Stories from Tamil Literature
by M. L. ThangappaAthiyaman, a hardened warrior, fearsome to his enemies and magnanimous to those he favoured. Kumanan, a king so benevolent that he was even willing to sacrifice his own life for another. The poet Pisiraandaiyar, who stood by his royal friend Kopperuncholan even in the worst of times. And Avvaiyar, a venerable woman poet, respected by rulers and subjects alike. This colourful and powerful cast of characters comes together in The Prince Who Became a Monk and Other Stories from Tamil Literature. Selected and translated by Sahitya Akademi award-winner M.L. Thangappa, the stories in this volume were originally poems written by famed Tamil poets belonging to a time when kings and poets equalled each other in authority and respect, and when valour and talent were considered the greatest virtues. These tales celebrate family, friendships and bonds that survive the tests of distance and time, bringing to the fore historical figures who depict faith, humility and kindness. Through delicately woven imagery and subtly imparted wisdom, this collection of more than 35 stories brings alive an era of glory, and the poets who immortalized it in their words.

Princesa de cenizas
by Laura SebastianPrincesa. Prisionera. Huérfana. Rebelde. Cuando todo lo que queda de tu pasado son cenizas, debes buscar muy dentro de ti para encontrar la llama que puede devolverte la fuerza. Theodosia tenía tan solo seis años cuando los Kalovaxians invadieron su país y asesinaron a su madre, la Reina de la Llama y la Furia, delante de sus propios ojos. En aquel momento, la joven princesa lo perdió todo. Incluso su nombre. Con el nuevo nombre de Thora y el ridículo apodo de «princesa de Cenizas», Theodosia ha vivido diez años prisionera en su propio palacio sufriendo los maltratos y las humillaciones del káiser. Pero cuando el dictador la obliga a ejecutar a la única persona que podría haberla salvado de su pesadilla, Theodosia decide resurgir de las cenizas. Su astucia es más poderosa que cualquier espada. Y un reino no se gana siempre en el campo de batalla. Durante diez años la Princesa de Cenizas ha visto su tierra saqueada y a su pueblo esclavizado. Ha llegado el momento de ponerle fin a esta opresión. Reseñas:«Un inicio de serie emocionalmente complejo y repleto de suspense que te deja sin aliento.»Booklist «Una trama que mezcla con habilidad intriga política, magia poderosa y debilitante y los violentos mecanismos de la colonización, sumergiendo al lector en una trama tan turbulenta como cautivadora.»Kirkus Reviews «Una ventana abierta a las complejidades de las relaciones y emociones humanas, las tensiones familiares y la falsa cara pública que a veces se necesita en la política y en la corte [...] Un final apoteósico para una secuela.»Publishers Weekly «Los amantes de la fantasía, de Kiera Cass y de Suzanne Collins lo adorarán.»SLJ
