Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The Golden Mean, a captivating, wholly transporting new novel that follows Aristotle’s strong-willed daughter as she shapes her own destiny: an unexpected love story, a tender portrait of a girl and her father, and an astonishing journey through the underbelly of a supposedly enlightened society. Aristotle has never been able to resist a keen mind, and Pythias is certainly her father’s daughter: besting his brightest students, refusing to content herself with a life circumscribed by the kitchen, the loom, and, eventually, a husband. Into her teenage years, she is protected by the reputation of her adored father, but with the death of Alexander the Great, her fortunes suddenly change. Aristotle’s family is forced to flee Athens for a small town, where the great philosopher soon dies, and orphaned Pythias quickly discovers that the world is not a place of logic after all, but one of superstition. As threats close in on her—a rebellious household, capricious gods and goddesses—she will need every ounce of wit she possesses, and the courage to seek refuge where she least expects it. This ebook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Book excerpt: A violent fugitive who cannot speak, who has no past. A disgraced noblewoman who would rather forget her past. And a world of magic that has turned against both of them. Seriana Marguerite, daughter of a warrior house, once believed that intelligence, determination, and love could avert the consequences of youthful rebellion. She was wrong. Violating the singular tenet of the Four Realms—that sorcery and all who practice it must be reported and exterminated—brought torment and death to those closest to her. Only her family’s influence preserved her own life, a mercy for which she has never been thankful. Over the years Seri has adapted to poverty and exile, far from royal intrigues and the politics of power. But her bitter peace collapses on the day she encounters a half-mad fugitive—a man incapable of speech, yet skilled at violence. The discovery that one of his dead-eyed pursuers is the man responsible for the horrors of her past forces Seri onto a path of anguished memory and ancient riddles, a race to unravel the mysteries of the fugitive’s identity, his mission, and a looming danger that could shatter the very foundation of the world. "Berg exhibits her skill with language, world-building, and the intelligent development of the magic that affects and is affected by the characters. The first book of the Bridge of D'Arnath launches a promising new multivolume work that should provide much intelligent entertainment."—Booklist "This is excellent dark fantasy with a liberal dash of court intrigue.

Download or read book Daughters of Sparta written by Claire Heywood and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, men have told the legend of the woman whose face launched a thousand ships—but now it's time to hear her side of the story. Daughters of Sparta is a tale of secrets, love, and tragedy from the women behind mythology's most devastating war, the infamous Helen and her sister Klytemnestra. As princesses of Sparta, Helen and Klytemnestra have known nothing but luxury and plenty. With their high birth and unrivaled beauty, they are the envy of all of Greece. But such privilege comes at a cost. While still only girls, the sisters are separated and married to foreign kings of their father's choosing— Helen remains in Sparta to be betrothed to Menelaos, and Klytemnestra is sent alone to an unfamiliar land to become the wife of the powerful Agamemnon. Yet even as Queens, each is only expected to do two things: birth an heir and embody the meek, demure nature that is expected of women. But when the weight of their husbands' neglect, cruelty, and ambition becomes too heavy to bear, Helen and Klytemnestra must push against the constraints of their society to carve new lives for themselves, and in doing so, make waves that will ripple throughout the next three thousand years. Daughters of Sparta is a vivid and illuminating reimagining of the Siege of Troy, told through the perspectives of two women whose voices have been ignored for far too long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonel Anglian was born of greatness he never wanted. So he threw it away for his freedom. Leo's father and grandfather, Daleon and Leoric Anglian, were paragons of their era, great warrior-generals of Ellaria who helped free the southern kingdom of Rolanse from the unstoppable orc invasion during the Rolanse Liberation War. Leo's path was set for him to follow in their footsteps to become the next great warrior of Ellaria. Until his grandfather died, and his father was cast out in exile for trying to free the very orcs he fought against. Leo's mother, left alone to raise him, died of illness not long after. Across the sea, Kaejic Bloodwolf, orc Chieftain of the Bloodwolf tribe, fights with every breath for greatness. Kaejic seeks to restore honor to his people, to face the Anglian family in combat and pave the way for his people's return to their homeland they had fled from, cast out by the human kingdoms after the Rolanse Liberation war. On the day Leo's mother died, Leo decided he didn't give a damn about legacy or greatness. He threw away his place in Ellarian court, his fear, and all his worries, only seeking to enjoy his life. Even if life was a ruthless bastard. Leo became an excavator, someone who digs up relics of the Ancients to sell to the Cantry church, in order to explore the world and try to uncover the vast buried secrets of the Ancients that all cultures of Demarest sought after, the forgotten histories of their ancestors. And it hasn't been going very well. He and his companions in the Stonewright Excavation company spend most of their time flat broke, traveling from place to place trying to dig up something of value in long-picked over digsites. But Leo has been loving every carefree minute of it all the same. Until the day Leo stumbles onto a buried Chapel of the Ancients that hadn't been seen for thousands of years. And within it, an ancient tome that would shake the very foundations of civilization, rewriting the history that had been known to all the kinsmen of the world. And with that tome, Leo is awakened to the true history of the Ancients, and to the darkness lurking in the shadows of his world. Kaejic Bloodwolf, seeing visions of standing face to face with Leonel Anglian and his people's return to their homeland, is coming to find him. The hunt for these ancient tomes, and for Leo himself, begins.

Book excerpt: Egypt, 1400s BC. The pharaoh’s pampered second daughter, lively, intelligent Hatshepsut, delights in racing her chariot through the marketplace and testing her archery skills in the Nile’s marshlands. But the death of her elder sister, Neferubity, in a gruesome accident arising from Hatshepsut’s games forces her to confront her guilt...and sets her on a profoundly changed course. Hatshepsut enters a loveless marriage with her half brother, Thut, to secure his claim to the Isis Throne and produce a male heir. But it is another of Thut’s wives, the commoner Aset, who bears him a son, while Hatshepsut develops a searing attraction for his brilliant adviser Senenmut. And when Thut suddenly dies, Hatshepsut becomes de facto ruler, as regent to her two-year-old nephew. Once, Hatshepsut anticipated being free to live and love as she chose. Now she must put Egypt first. Ever daring, she will lead a vast army and build great temples, but always she will be torn between the demands of leadership and the desires of her heart. And even as she makes her boldest move of all, her enemies will plot her downfall.... Once again, Stephanie Thornton brings to life a remarkable woman from the distant past whose willingness to defy tradition changed the course of history.
