Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You will marry the very next man who walks in that door." As the only princess of a prosperous kingdom, I have wanted for nothing-and refused all suitors. What real man is worthy of my interest, when I secretly pen tales of handsome lords and beautiful brooding counts? But now my father has gathered up every eligible royal bachelor in all the realm. And it's just as I suspected, not one to capture my fancy-especially King Brennus of the Wood Elves, who looks like a bandit and has the accent of a man born in a barn. I'd rather be on my own forever. I refuse them all. The last thing I expected was for my mild-mannered father to insist, in a fit of anger, that I marry the next man who walks in the door, even if he's a peasant...and what do you know? "No, lass. I won't let you starve. But you won't exactly be free either. And just remember, any time you like, you can stop me. All you have to do is work or beg." My new husband looks like a laborer and lives in a little cabin in the forest, but something tells me he's not what he seems. He says he means to teach me humility in the form of honest work, making stew and scrubbing floors. But somehow or other, he knows all my secrets, all the deepest desires of my heart, and there is no one in the forest to hear me beg him for mercy...except the wolvenfolk who howl in the forest at night. They haven't made any trouble in fifty years, but when the wolves are at the door, I don't know if a peasant can save me... The Beggar Princess is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm's King Thrushbeard, a standalone fairy tale romance for those who like unabashedly adorable happily ever afters with a side of serious steaminess!

Book excerpt: The city of Kuraku had been the economic epicenter of the entire Yoruba kingdom. It was a city of commerce, peace, and military power. Suddenly, it was as if the ruling spirits had a quarrel with a community they had so favored for a long time. Omens, deaths, famine, and other natural disasters became the order of the day. After several abortive steps to find answers to the helpless situation, one of the most powerful diviners was contracted to help find answers to the mystery. Adventurous steps taken by this great custodian of magic resulted in outstanding revelations and confrontations that shook not only the city of Kuraku and its environs but also the entire Yoruba kingdom. Shocking events were brought to the fore, like the mysteries surrounding a young disabled beggar in town and the emergence of other mysterious and diabolical supernatural personalities bent on changing the natural order of life as we know it not only in the land but in the entire earth if their evil plan succeeded.

Download or read book The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales written by Franz Xaver von Schonwerth and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare discovery in the world of fairy tales—now for the first time in English Move over, Cinderella: Make way for the Turnip Princess! And for the “Cinderfellas” in these stories, which turn our understanding of gender in fairy tales on its head. With this volume, the holy trinity of fairy tales—the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen—becomes a quartet. In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schönwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountains of northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Schönwerth's work was lost—until a few years ago, when thirty boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. Now, for the first time, Schönwerth's lost fairy tales are available in English. Violent, dark, and full of action, and upending the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragon-slaying heroes, these more than seventy stories bring us closer than ever to the unadorned oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted, revolutionizing our understanding of a hallowed genre. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It gets pretty lonely, spending your entire life in a tower. The Witch told me she was keeping me safe from a dangerous world. But one day, when I let down my hair, the Witch wasn't the one to climb up. His presence was so overwhelming; his hands steady on my back, his lips and tongue marking me forever with the taste of a man. I was used to being alone a lot of the time, and wandering around the tower sort of aimlessly, trying to decide what to do once the chores were done. Now his mouth was telling me what to do and oh, it was good. Prince Dorin of Yirvagna, from the darkling lands, is tall and dark, with horns and a tail...and the first man I've ever seen in my life. He tells me I'm his bonded mate and I must come with him, and if I'm not so sure about this (admittedly charming) prince, the Witch's plans for me are worse. And when Prince Dorin stands in her way, her retaliation is swift. I taste freedom for the first time at the cost of Dorin's eyesight...but can I find a way to lift his curse? The Fairy Tale Heat series are standalone fairy tale retellings for those who like unabashedly adorable happily ever afters with a side of serious steaminess!
