Enter a lush world inspired by the history and mythology of South
America, where twisted family politics deceive, dark magics thrive,
and fantastical creatures roam. Reina is desperate. Stuck on the
edges of society, Reina’s only hope lies in an invitation from a
grandmother she’s never met. But the journey to her is dangerous,
and prayer can’t always avert disaster. Attacked by creatures
that stalk the mountains, Reina is on the verge of death until her
grandmother, a dark sorceress, intervenes. Now dependent on the
Doña’s magic for her life, Reina will do anything to earn—and
keep—her favor. Even the bidding of an ancient god who whispers
to her at night. Eva Kesaré is unwanted. Illegitimate and of mixed
heritage, Eva is her family’s shame. She tries to be the perfect
daughter, but Eva is hiding a secret: magic calls to her. Eva knows
she should fight the temptation. Magic is the sign of the dark god,
and using it is punishable by death. Yet it’s hard to ignore
power when it has always been denied you. Eva is walking a
dangerous path, one that gets stranger every day. And in the end,
she’ll become something she never imagined.
Gorgeous Collector's Edition. Many medieval writers, especially
from France and Wales, wrote stories about the great British
leader, King Arthur. Legends, folklore and myths from this period
come together to paint a picture of who he was with some describing
him as a great warrior, defending Britain from its enemies, while
others suggest Arthur had magical qualities. Throughout this
mystery, King Arthur has become an iconic figure, known for his
court and knights and his chivalric adventures. This collection
offers a selection of myths, featuring Arthur's knights of the
round table, his love for Queen Guinevere and of course the
ultimate betrayal by his most trusted knight, Sir Lancelot. Flame
Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative
fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative
literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the
best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking
and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and
a Glossary of Terms.
