From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of THE DARKEST MINDS comes a high-octane story of power, destiny and redemption. A lifetime ago, Lore Perseous left behind the brutal, opulent world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game every seven years. A game that is about to begin again ...
For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week, and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended.
After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving. For seven years, she has pushed back dark thoughts of revenge against the man responsible for their murder, a man by the name of Wrath who has attained unimaginable power. Except for one week, every seven years. A week that is fast approaching ...
When Lore comes home on the first night of the Agon to find Athena gravely wounded on her doorstep, the goddess offers her an alliance; they have a mutual enemy, after all. But as the world trembles under the force of Wrath - a god with the power to destroy all of humanity - will Lore's decision to bind her fate with Athena's come back to haunt her?
With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustrations,
The Rabbit Listened is a tender meditation on loss. When something
terrible happens, Taylor doesn't know where to turn. All the
animals are sure they have the answer. The chicken wants to talk it
out, but Taylor doesn't feel like chatting. The bear thinks Taylor
should get angry, but that's not quite right either. One by one,
the animals try to tell Taylor how to process this loss, and one by
one they fail. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is
listen, which is just what Taylor needs. Whether read in the wake
of tragedy or as a primer for comforting others, this is a deeply
moving and unforgettable story sure to soothe heartache of all
sizes.
A book to help children and families cope with the loss of a baby.
Matthew is excited about the new baby. But then, one day, something
very sad happens. The doctor tells Matthew's mother that her baby
isn't growing properly and it won't be strong enough to live
outside her body. Matthew and his mother and father will always
remember their baby. But as time goes by, they will not feel sad so
often. The author wrote this story based on her own experience, to
help her son cope with the loss of a baby. This child-centred book
is intended to help children and families who experience
miscarriage, stillbirth, perinatal death or Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS). A new edition of the first published book by
Siobhan Parkinson, who later became Ireland's first Laureate na nOg
(Children's Laureate). It was writing this book that Parkinson
found her voice as a children's writer, a gift she credits to the
baby she lost all those years ago.
