New Releases by Rebecca Ross

După secole de adormire, zeii se războiesc din nou. Tânăra Iris Winnow, în vârstă de 18 ani, nu vrea însă decât să își țină familia laolaltă. Mama ei a căzut pradă dependențelor, iar fratele, care a fost trimis pe front, a dispărut. Singura ei șansă este să câștige promovarea de la Gazeta de Oath, unde lucrează ca ziaristă. Pentru a mai uita de griji, Iris îi scrie lungi epistole fratelui ei, pe care le strecoară pe sub ușa șifonierului, de unde dispar… direct în mâinile lui Roman Kitt, fermecătorul și deopotrivă nepăsătorul ei rival de la ziar. Când acesta din urmă îi răspunde la scrisori sub protecția anonimatului, între cei doi se naște o legătură care o va însoți pe Iris până în prima linie a frontului, unde ajunge hotărâtă să-și salveze fratele, omenirea, dar și dragostea. Rivali divini este un roman fantasy plin de speranță, dar și de suferință, despre puterea de neegalat a dragostei. „Dacă poveștile ar avea aromă, aceasta ar mirosi ca o cană de ceai negru, panglicile de tuș ale mașinii de scris și condimentul care creează dependență și care se cheamă dușmani deveniți iubiți.” SHELBY MAHURIN, autoarea bestsellerului Șarpe și porumbel „Un început fermecător pentru o serie frumoasă și plină de romantism. Ross își țese poveștile într-un stil propriu, care presupune vulnerabilitate și delicatețe. Am adorat această carte!” ADALYN GRACE, autoarea romanului Beladona, bestseller The New York Times „O poveste de dragoste înflăcărată și totodată o analiză tulburătoare a ororilor și a suferințelor pe care le lasă în urmă războiul […], într-o lume plină de imaginație, cu personaje nuanțate și o atmosferă tensionată, dar care adesea îndeamnă la visare.” Publishers Weekly „O altă poveste de succes scrisă de Rebecca Ross, autoarea care demonstrează că nu există nimic ce nu poate face pe tărâmul ficțiunii fantastice.” Paste Magazine „Incredibil de romantică și impecabil scrisă, Rivali divini este o poveste care îți va rămâne în minte mult timp după ce ai terminat de citit și ultima pagină. Amplasată într-o lume plină de mitologie, călătoria lui Iris pe front este deopotrivă fascinantă și emoționantă, cu un final care îi va face pe cititori să aștepte cu nerăbdare continuarea poveștii. Mi-a plăcut la nebunie!” Rachel Griffin, autoarea bestsellerului The Nature of Witches ISBN ebook: 9786069740811

Todo empieza con una carta y un siniestro viaje a través de las aguas oscuras. Diez años después de ser enviado al continente para convertirse en bardo, Jack Tamerlaine es convocado de vuelta a su hogar, Cadence. Pero su regreso no es alegre: están desapareciendo niñas de la isla, y Adaira, la futura líder del clan, cree que Jack es el único que puede encontrarlas.En Cadence hay profundos encantamientos: el viento transmite cotilleos, los tartanes pueden ser tan fuertes como una armadura y el corte más pequeño de un cuchillo puede infundir un miedo insondable. Los espíritus elementales que habitan en cada soplo de aire, salpicadura de agua, brizna de hierba y destello de fuego encuentran la alegría en las vidas de los humanos. Sin embargo, secuestrar a niñas Tamerlaine es ir demasiado lejos y solo la música de un bardo puede convocar a los espíritus para que expliquen dónde están las muchachas.Anteriormente enemigos de la infancia y ahora socios reticentes, Jack y Adaira deben dejar a un lado la rivalidad del pasado para persuadir a los espíritus de que devuelvan a las niñas. No obstante, mientras preparan las canciones, otra amenaza enemiga aparece en el horizonte: el clan de los Breccan del oeste, enemigos confesos de los Tamerlaine, abre las líneas de comunicación por primera vez en varios siglos. La coincidencia es sospechosa, pero los Breccan, que siempre han estado más en sintonía con los espíritus, pueden tener otra clave que ayude a Jack y a Adaira.Sin embargo, a medida que se acercan a descubrir dónde están las niñas y por qué se las llevaron, se hace evidente que el problema con los espíritus es mucho más siniestro de lo que esperaban. Un secreto más antiguo y oscuro acerca de Cadence acecha bajo la superficie, amenazando con destruirlos a todos y ninguna canción de arpa puede ser lo bastante fuerte para impedirlo.CON PERSONAJES INOLVIDABLES, UNA TRAMA CAUTIVADORA Y UN MAGNÍFICO WORLDBUILDING, UN RÍO ENCANTADO ES UNA CONMOVEDORA HISTORIA SOBRE EL DEBER, EL AMOR Y EL PODER DEL COMPAÑERISMO.

Quando o fracasso parece incontornável, um senhor cheio de segredos oferece a Brienna seu patrocínio.

Jewelry responds to our most primitive urges, for control, honor, and sex. It is at once the most ancient and most immediate of art forms, one that is defined by its connection and interaction with the body. In this sense it is inescapably political, its meaning bound to the possibilities of the body it lies on. Indeed, the fate of the body is often bound to the jewelry. This study looks at gender and jewelry in order to gain some understanding into how jewelry is constructed by and constructs not just a single society, but human societies. It will explore how societal traditions that have sprung up around jewelry and ornamentation have affected the possibilities available to women across a broad spectrum of social and ethnic circumstances, determining which have served women well and which are constrictive and destructive. It also examines the possibilities for the intentional creation of feminist jewelry, including an overview of the author''s own work.
