Collection: Adult

Prim and prideful Ione possesses the Moon Goddess's spirit and a harrowing fate: overpower the wrathful Sun God and sweep His murderous pyromancers into the sea. But attaining divine ascension is easier said than done, and the longer Ione takes to save her people, the more impatient her conniving archpriest becomes.

Quiet, distrusting Lina has had more than enough of bloodshed. After escaping immolation by Sun-worshipers, she gains a new lease on life as a nameless acolyte of the Moon Goddess. That is until she catches the eye of Lady Ione, whose captivation with Lina has caused the Goddess to stir within her for the first time.

As temples burn and Ione's archpriest launches treacherous gambits of his own, Ione and Lina's alliance deepens into something neither of them anticipated. If Ione's enemies reach her before she can awaken the Moon Goddess, everyone she loves will go up in flames.

But if she succeeds, the Sun cult will be annihilated - including Lina, whose past as a Sun priestess cannot remain hidden forever.

Racham has always told himself he's fine living in the shadow of his older brother-the devout, deadly, and divinely chosen Mordecai. Everything Racham is not.

Where Mordecai wields the sacred power of foresight, Racham survives on charm, cheap wine, and the firm belief that a life of relentless reverence isn't worth the blessing it buys.

But when zealots devoted to a rival deity attack their village, the brothers are forced to flee the only home they've ever known. Burdened by grief and the weight of those left behind, Racham finds himself turning-slowly and reluctantly-toward the faith he once mocked.

Their escape leads them to Sepultura, a walled city said to be a sanctuary for their people. A place where the will of their patron deity shapes every law, every life, and every truth.

Yet something beneath Sepultura's reverence feels wrong.

Memories don't quite align.

Questions vanish unanswered.

De una de las autoras más queridas en Estados Unidos, una colección póstuma de cuentos recién descubiertos, además de ensayos y artículos anteriormente publicados, que nos ofrece una perspectiva fresca de la impresionante mente literaria de Harper Lee.

Harper Lee sigue siendo una figura prominente en el canon estadounidense, gracias a Scout, Jem, Atticus y los demás personajes indelebles de su debut literario ganador del Premio Pulitzer, Matar a un ruiseñor, así como la versión más oscura de un pequeño pueblo en la Alabama de finales de la década de 1950 que emergió entre las páginas de Ve y pon un centinela, su única otra novela, publicada en 2015, después de su redescubrimiento. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, se le conoce menos a la Harper Lee joven, a esa escritora tenaz que creaba historias esperando verlas publicadas en revistas; Lee, la vivaz neoyorquina, alabamiana y amiga de Truman Capote, y la Lee que salpicó las páginas de McCall's y Vogue con ensayos reflexivos durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

La tierra del dulce porvenir combina los inicios de la ficción breve de Lee con su no ficción subsecuente en un solo volumen para ofrecer una mirada sin precedentes al desarrollo de su inigualable voz. Cubre el territorio de la juventud de Lee, desde los patios de escuela en Alabama hasta las cafeterías y los cines del Manhattan de medio siglo, La tierra del dulce porvenir invita a tener conversaciones aún vitales sobre política, igualdad, viajes, amor, ficción, arte, el sur de Estados Unidos y lo que significa llevar una vida ocupada y creativa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of America's most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.

Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon - thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-'50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall's and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.

The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.

In this newest installment of Alexander McCall Smith's beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Mma Ramotswe takes on a number of perplexing situations, and while she tries to maintain her usual impartiality, it's difficult when one of the cases involves someone so close to her heart.

"Delightful . . . The warm humanity infused throughout [these] novels is what brings readers back . . . [McCall Smith] brings out the profound importance of everyday revelations." --San Francisco Chronicle

Mma Ramotswe can sense the rain long before it comes. It's been a long, dry summer, but the first downpour of the season tends to bring with it new growth. In this case, it also brings a new client, who suspects his wife of having an affair. Mma Ramotswe is on the case, and she decides to bring Charlie along. But as they look further into the matter, they begin to suspect their client may not have been entirely truthful in explaining his predicament.

Meanwhile, Mr. J.L.B.'s Matekoni has struck up a new friendship with a man named Mr. Mogorosi, a prominent figure in the motor trade business. Mma Ramotswe is concerned that Mr. Mogorosi may have ulterior motives for his attentions. When the two go on a fishing trip in waters teeming with dangerous crocodiles, she begins to worry for Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's safety.

And though Mma Ramotswe has never quite perfected Mma Potokwane's delicious fruit cake recipe, she can always rely on her old friend for a steaming cup of red bush tea, some wise counsel, and a generous slice of cake. As welcome storms roll in to the little city of Gaborone, the pumpkins in Mma Potokwane's garden flourish, as do her keen insights. These will prove invaluable to Mma Ramotswe as she navigates these sensitive matters with her usual good humor and compassion.

Comics superstars Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen reunite to tell the all-new story of a different Dynamic Duo, with a very different dynamic!

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's acclaimed, fan-favorite comics collaborations include the Eisner Award-winning Image Comics sci-fi series Descender, and their take on the most famous partnership in superhero comics, Robin & Batman.

While Robin & Batman told the tale of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, for their follow-up, Lemire and Nguyen examine a very different sidekick: Jason Todd, a rash, impulsive, reckless kid with a troubled past.

Batman was certain he could mold Jason into Gotham's next crime-fighter as the second Robin. But can the Dark Knight save Jason Todd from the darkness within himself? And when a mysterious new villain named Wraith sets his sights on Jason, Batman finds himself doubtful that even he has what it takes to train the anger and torment out of his new young ward.

This collection includes Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1-3, Lemire and Nguyen's full story, now available in softcover.

YOUR BODY IS NOT A PROBLEM TO SOLVE. IT IS THE PLACE YOU COME HOME TO.

In a world driven by speed, digital noise, and constant striving, we have become exiles in our own skin. We treat our bodies like machines to be fixed-battling chronic pain, anxiety, and exhaustion-while searching outside ourselves for peace. But the silence we seek is not found in escaping the body; it is found in returning to it.

Coming Home to Embodied Awakening is your map for that return.

Guided by internationally renowned Qigong Master Mingtong Gu, this book offers a gentle, powerful path back to wholeness. At its heart is Wisdom Healing Qigong, an ancient practice that combines slow, flowing movements, natural breathing, and focused awareness to restore the body's natural flow of energy.

Stop thinking your way to healing. Start feeling your way home.

In these pages, you'll discover how to:

• Shift from "Fixing" to "Feeling" Transform pain and self-judgment into presence.
• Awaken Vitality: Calm the nervous system and reclaim your energy in minutes a day.
• Heal the Exile: Support recovery from chronic stress and trauma.
• Turn Movement into Prayer: Transform everyday actions into a living spiritual practice.

Fans of Rebecca Serle and Christina Lauren will adore this immersive contemporary romance set in Italy.

Ava Graham's ducks are in a row as she heads off to Italy to complete her final law school credits and fulfill a promise she made to her late mother five years ago. Ava expects her long-term boyfriend to propose before her trip, but instead of giving her a ring, he suggests they use her time abroad as a "break" before settling down.

When James Massini arrives-late-to the airport to pick up Ava as a favor to his aunt and uncle, he's surprised to find that she's not a young co-ed, but a fascinating woman approaching thirty with a serious superiority complex and a habit of underestimating him. When she's assigned to his class as a TA, he becomes determined to prove to her that there is more to life than plans and lists, no matter how hard she fights with him-or how annoyingly charming he finds their banter.

Despite the sudden disaster of her life, type A Ava might actually enjoy Italy-if only annoyingly carefree James wasn't there, too. As Ava reluctantly lets James try to show her a different way of life in Italy, she begins to find beauty in the chaos. Of course, it's when things begin to make sense again that her past comes storming back.

With a humorously relatable protagonist and a rich Italian setting, this debut novel is an escapist treat and a necessary reminder that life doesn't always care about the plans we've made for ourselves.
