Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old Creel is floored when her aunt suggests they sacrifice her to a dragon to attract the attention of a marriageable knight. But when the dragon appears, Creel bargains for her life - and ends up with an unusual pair of blue slippers. It’s not until the slippers are stolen by a princess that Creel learns a terrible truth: the slippers are made from the hide of a dragon queen, and enable the wearer to control all the dragons in the land. Now under the command of the princess, who is eager to start a war, the dragons begin to attack the city. Creel must join forces with the king’s son and others to break the slippers’ hold before the princess and the dragons destroy the city - or before the king’s archers kill the dragons - whichever comes first.

Download or read book Cinders Stars and Glass Slippers written by Brittany Fichter and published by Brittany Fichter. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if Cinderella’s prince didn't throw the ball to meet his true love? What if he had already found her? What if he was trying to save her life instead? Since the murder of her magically-gifted mother, Elaina has been raised and sheltered on her father’s ship. But when Elaina’s secret is compromised, she must return to land and live under the king’s protection...much to her objection. Ashland's crown prince, Nicholas, has never been without. Handsome, clever, and popular, he’s everything a prince should be and more. He is also, however, facing a possible civil war and a deadly foe who preys on his magic-gifted citizens. So when he meets Elaina, Nicholas delights in insisting that she share the military expertise gained on her father’s ship. He gets more than he bargained for, though, when he finds that he might have fallen for the one girl who refuses to fall for his charms. Elaina can see right through Prince Nicholas, and she is unimpressed. At least…she thinks she is. But just as she begins to admit that there may be more to the charming prince than meets the eye, a dark turn of events finds her exiled and forced into servitude, a civil war declared, and the murderer bloodthirstier than ever. Can Nicholas and Elaina defeat the dark forces that have poisoned their kingdom…and find their own happy ending as well? If you want the magic of Narnia and the romance of fairy tales, read this clean fantasy retelling of Cinderella today to escape into the Classical Kingdoms Collection, a series of clean fantasy fairy tale retellings with magical mystery, clean, passionate romance, and heroic happily-ever-afters. Author’s Note: Cinders, Stars, and Glass Slippers is the sixth book in the Classical Kingdoms Collection but can be read as a stand-alone novel as well.
Download or read book Rethinking Chinese Popular Culture written by Carlos Rojas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through analyses of a wide range of Chinese literary and visual texts from the beginning of the twentieth century through the contemporary period, the thirteen essays in this volume challenge the view that canonical and popular culture are self-evident and diametrically opposed categories, and instead argue that the two cultural sensibilities are inextricably bound up with one another. An international line up of contributors present detailed analyses of literary works and other cultural products that have previously been neglected by scholars, while also examining more familiar authors and works from provocative new angles.The essays include investigations into the cultural industries and contexts that produce the canonical and popular, the position of contemporary popular works at the interstices of nostalgia and amnesia, and also the ways in which cultural texts are inflected with gendered and erotic sensibilities while at the same time also functioning as objects of desire in its own right. As the only volume of its kind to cover the entire span of the 20th century, and also to consider the interplay of popular and canonical literature in modern China with comparable rigor, Rethinking Chinese Popular Culture is an important resource for students and scholars of Chinese literature and culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales reimagined—in stories by “a distinguished company of writers” including Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates, and Tanith Lee (Kirkus Reviews). For many of us, the fairy tale was our first exposure to the written word and the power of storytelling. These wondrous works of magic and morality enthralled us, enchanted us, sometimes terrified us, and remain in our hearts and memories still. Once again, World Fantasy Award–winning editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have compiled an extraordinary collection of reimagined tales conceived by some of today’s most acclaimed contemporary purveyors of literary fantasy, science fiction, and horror, including Neil Gaiman, Gahan Wilson, Joyce Carol Oates, Tanith Lee, Nancy Kress, Gene Wolfe, and others. Remarkable things lurk in these dark and magical woods. Here Beauty confronts a serial-killer Beast, Hansel and Gretel’s witch resides not in a gingerbread house but in a luxurious resort, and Rumpelstiltskin is truly the devil demanding his due, rightfully or otherwise. The hilarious “Roach in Loafers” ingeniously combines the classic “Elves and the Shoemaker” tale with “Puss in Boots” and adds an insectile twist, while in a modern fable that blends The Wizard of Oz and Hans Christian Andersen, Dorothy is set adrift in Hollywoodland, ruby slippers and all. These are not the fairy stories you remember from childhood.
Download or read book Glass Slippers and Jeweled Masques written by Denyse Bridger and published by New Dawning Bookfair. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can't be serious?" "Amerasha needs stability," King Alenzo Coranthaos reminded his only son. "Our future lies with you!" Michel Alexandros Coranthaos, heir to the island nation of Coranthis, turned from the castle window to look intently at his father. He tried to keep his voice even and free of the irritation that was coursing through his veins like a living thing. "Father, you are in the prime of your years, hardly on the verge of dying of old age. I fail to see why you think it so necessary for me to marry and produce offspring!" His father's shoulders stiffened at the words and Michel sighed inwardly. He schooled his expression to careful neutrality and waited for the rebuke he sensed was coming to him. "Why do you think it so necessary to remain unmarried, Michel?" Startled by the calm question, he took a few moments to seriously consider the question. He could be flippant about it, or he could for a change be honest. The expectancy in his father's eyes decided him and he crossed the distance between them. "I don't think it's unnecessary, father. I simply choose to wait for a woman I can love and respect, someone I can share my life with, as you did with mother." Alenzo looked at his son, and nodded, expression grave. "I wish to see you happy, Michel." He held up a hand to ward off the reply Michel was about to make and smiled, albeit with sadness. "You have played the carefree prince for many years, but there is an emptiness in your life that needs to be filled. Tell me this is not truth? If you can?" Michel stared, genuinely surprised by the turn of the conversation. He'd answered his father's summons with the expectation of another of their increasingly frequent arguments. Instead, he was being accorded a direct honesty that had once been the core of their relationship, but had often been lacking in years. He sat down and for a few moments he remained silent, then he leaned back in the comfortable chair and nodded. "There is no sense denying what you say, father. I am not a happy man," he admitted, then laughed with real bitterness. "I don't lack for attention, but it feels very hollow." Alenzo nodded. "It's time to bring a bride to you, my son." Michel frowned, and waited for the trap to spring. He should have recognized the change in tactics, his father was a supreme manipulator.
