Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with magic and fierce emotion, Lisa Jensen's multilayered novel will make you question all you think you know about beauty, beastliness, and happily ever after. They say Château Beaumont is cursed. But servant-girl Lucie can’t believe such foolishness about handsome Jean-Loup Christian Henri LeNoir, Chevalier de Beaumont, master of the estate. But when the chevalier's cruelty is revealed, Lucie vows to see him suffer. A wisewoman grants her wish, with a spell that transforms Jean-Loup into monstrous-looking Beast, reflecting the monster he is inside. But Beast is nothing like the chevalier. Jean-Loup would never patiently tend his roses; Jean-Loup would never attempt poetry; Jean-Loup would never express remorse for the wrong done to Lucie. Gradually, Lucie realizes that Beast is an entirely different creature from the handsome chevalier, with a heart more human than Jean-Loup’s ever was. Lucie dares to hope that noble Beast has permanently replaced the cruel Jean-Loup — until an innocent beauty arrives at Beast’s château with the power to break the spell.

Download or read book 1001 written by Yahya Gharagozlou and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intimate and tumultuous historical fiction, Iran plays a starring role under a stage name, "Persiran." We engage with its history through three generations of a vividly drawn aristocratic family called the Poonakis, beginning with twin princes who are devoted to each other, and ending in modern times - after the Khomeini revolution - with another set of twin brothers who are mortal enemies. The family - like the monarchy and the fledgling constitution - is doomed, as the clerical vision of building the kingdom of God on Earth prevails. The story has several narrators, whose fates by the end will intersect. The book's title refers to nine critical nights of storytelling - transposed into binary code: 1001, playing on the classic "1001 Nights" of Scheherazade. The episodes of the novel take place in a palace, a mosque, a village, a harem; a tearoom, a whorehouse, a prison. The characters travel through deserts and mountains, to European cities, and even to the battlefront with Iraq. In episodes of comedy and farce, as well as romance and, finally, tragedy, we get to know these compelling characters, including several unforgettable women. Throughout runs an important theme: the storyteller's obligation to tell his stories - the raw ingredients of history.

On the island, Ava meets Emily Thorne, who has recently returned to training with Takeda. Emily shares her wisdom with Ava about revenge and the importance of looking for justice in a world where enemies thrive.

Conflicts arise, bonds are formed, and romance even blooms. The trainees learn that their missions are intertwined. All roads lead back to Ava's home in Napa and Starling Vineyards' annual gala, and if the group attends, each will gain the chance to exact revenge.
