To save myself, I bargain with the gods. To save my family, I bet my own life. Sirens were once known for irresistible songs. Yet centuries after our ancestor’s exile, we’re like every other creature in the Akri Sea—unremarkable, forgotten, mortal. When famine sweeps through the sea and drags my mother to the realm of the dead, I refuse to be like the rest of my kind. I refuse to die forgotten. To change my fate, I journey to the city of the gods. To gain immortality, I bargain with god-king Zeus in his gilded palace. And with the aid of a deity whose smoldering eyes pull emotions out of me I never thought possible, I might just succeed in the three trials to come. I’ll risk anything for immortality. But when an opportunity presents itself, will I risk everything to save my family? If you like Greek mythology, slow-burn romance, and legendary creatures, you’ll love Siren Daughter, the first book in an enthralling fantasy trilogy.

One of the Best Books of the Year: The Economist, San Francisco Chronicle Cummings, in his radical experimentation with form, punctuation, spelling, and syntax, created a new kind of poetic expression. Because of his powerful work, he became a generation’s beloved heretic—at the time of his death he was one of the most widely read poets in the United States. Now, in this rich, illuminating biography, Susan Cheever traces the development of the poet and his work. She takes us from Cummings’s seemingly idyllic childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts, through his years at Harvard (rooming with Dos Passos, befriending Malcolm Cowley and Lincoln Kirstein). There, he devoured the poetry of Ezra Pound, whose radical verses lured the young writer away from the politeness of the traditional nature poem towards a more adventurous, sexually conscious form. We follow Cummings to Paris in 1917, and, finally, to Greenwich Village to be among other modernist poets of the day—Marianne Moore and Hart Crane, among them. E. E. Cummings is a revelation of the man and the poet, and a brilliant reassessment of the freighted path of his legacy.

The path to the divine is one of sorrow... In the ancient world of Greece, a crippled girl named Arete seeks refuge in the mystical city of Delphi. Fate weaves a tapestry leading her to the doorstep of the sacred Temple of Apollo, where she learns to survive through the kindness of strangers. In the shadow of the Temple, Arete encounters the wise Priestess of Apollo, who becomes her guide and mentor. Through ancient rituals and mystical teachings, the Priestess unveils the latent strength within Arete, urging her to rise above the limitations of her past. As Arete learns to navigate the balance between the mortal and the divine, she discovers that the key to her destiny lies in self-trust and the willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for the people she has come to love.
