The first book in a heart-pounding YA fantasy series from debut author Tracy Deonn.

Introduced by Naomi Mitchison. Set over two thousand years ago on the clam and fertile shores of the Black Sea, Naomi Mitchison's The Corn King and the Spring Queen tells of ancient civilisations where tenderness, beauty and love vie with brutality and dark magic. Erif Der, a young witch, is compelled by her father to marry his powerful rival, Tarrik the Corn King, so becoming the Spring Queen. Forced by her father, she uses her magic spells to try and break Tarrik's power. But one night Tarrik rescues Sphaeros, an Hellenic philosopher, from a shipwreck. Sphaeros in turn rescues Tarrik from near death and so breaks the enchantment that has bound him. And so begins for Tarrik a Quest - a fabulous voyage of discovery which will bring him new knowledge and which will reunite him with his beautiful Spring Queen.

The captivating saga of the Whiteoak family continues, with more rivalries, tangled relationships, and secret love affairs.

Henry, un uomo di oltre sessant'anni, vive sulla barca di amici e ha avuto un'esistenza segnata dalla sfortuna e dalla crudeltà femminile. Nonostante la sua solitudine e le difficoltà economiche, conserva un certo fascino. Daisy, una drammaturga di successo, ha anch'essa superato i sessant'anni e vive in un cottage di campagna, riflettendo sul vuoto affettivo che nessun uomo potrà più colmare, pur desiderando ancora di essere amata. Quando Henry si offre come giardiniere, Daisy inizialmente è scettica, ma la sua necessità di affetto la porta ad accoglierlo nella sua vita. La tensione sessuale tra i due cresce lentamente, tanto che Daisy perde di vista la vera natura di Henry, ignorando gli avvertimenti di amici e figlia, che esprimono preoccupazione. In questo romanzo, l'autrice della saga dei Cazalet condivide una tragica esperienza personale, rivelandosi con sincerità e umiltà. "Perdersi" è un ritratto di un plagio psicologico e un profondo scavo nella mente malata, offrendo una testimonianza preziosa e confermando il suo straordinario talento narrativo.

The Whiteoak family, of English descent, resides at Jalna, a large estate in Ontario named after the Indian city where the founders, Captain Philip Whiteoak and his wife Adeline, first met. Much time has passed since that fateful encounter. Now, in the 1920s, the indomitable Adeline, a grandmother and widow, holds the family together as she eagerly anticipates celebrating her hundredth birthday with her children and grandchildren. Among them is young Wakefield, clever and mischievous, always scheming to avoid studying and snatch slices of cake, and Renny, the charming head of the family who conceals a sensitive soul. Life at Jalna flows peacefully until two new daughters-in-law disrupt the balance: the young Pheasant, the illegitimate daughter of a neighbor, whose arrival is seen as an affront, and the delightful Alayne, a career-driven American whose grace enchants everyone, especially the men in the household. With light, elegant prose and a delightful ironic perspective, Mazo de la Roche tells the story of three generations set against the beauty of the Canadian landscape and the tranquility of unspoiled nature.
