DOWNLOAD EBOOKCapturing the atmosphere of anxiety and loss that exists in Manhattan, this is a story of the city itself, and the interconnected lives of those attempting to navigate both Manhattan and their own mortality. Joseph Guiteau is a working actor who moved to New York to escape a tragic family history in the Midwest. Wandering through a city transformed by the attacks of September 2001, he frequents gatherings of conspiracy groups, trying to make sense of world events and his own personal history. Looming over his life is a secret that threatens to undermine his new marriage to Del, a snake expert at a city park, whose work visa is the only thread keeping her from deportation back to her native Greece. The new marriage influences the lives of those around them: William, a dark and troubled actor whose sanity is fading as quickly as his career, leading him to perform increasingly desperate acts; Madi, a young entrepreneur who will have to face the moral complications of a business made successful by the outsourcing of American jobs to India; and her brother Raj, Del’s former lover, a promising photographer whose work details the empty rooms of an increasingly alienated city.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe only thing Savara knows for certain is that she doesn't belong... anywhere. Stripped of all memories of her childhood and robbed of the last remnants of her unorthodox family, Savara is left to fear the lonely nights in the darkened house whose walls contain as many secrets as they do cobwebs. But something in her soul tells her she doesn't belong here—doesn't belong anywhere. Her only salvation? A best friend with his head stuck in history books and a mercenary from a foreign land who claims he has come to take her home. Savara is whisked away to a world of fantasy in which elemental magic reigns supreme and where shadows are spirits of the past and keepers of long-forgotten secrets—her secrets. As she fights to regain her missing memories, she uncovers a deadly truth that threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Worse still, it's all her fault. Armed with this terrible understanding, Savara must hide her true nature at all costs or risk hurting her newfound family and the one she loves most, but the clock is ticking and the enemies draw near. A ruthless mafia don on a revenge crusade. A secretive apprentice with a hidden agenda. A cruel military dictator. And of course... the Prince of Shadows himself. The shadows of the past have awakened with a thirst for blood. Will she be able to stop them from devouring everything in their path? Or will she fall victim to her own demons? Sadly, if her quest for meaning has taught her anything, it's that not all fantasies are dreams come true, and that the truth is most often paid for in blood. PERFECT FOR FANS OF... Erin Morgenstern, Leigh Bardugo, Lynette Noni, Victoria Aveyard, and more. This young adult epic fantasy is more than just your average coming of age story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis "utterly spectacular" book weighs the impact modern medical technology has had on the author's life against the social and environmental costs inevitably incurred by the mining that makes such innovation possible (Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises). What if a lifesaving medical device causes loss of life along its supply chain? That's the question Katherine E. Standefer finds herself asking one night after being suddenly shocked by her implanted cardiac defibrillator. In this gripping, intimate memoir about health, illness, and the invisible reverberating effects of our medical system, Standefer recounts the astonishing true story of the rare diagnosis that upended her rugged life in the mountains of Wyoming and sent her tumbling into a fraught maze of cardiology units, dramatic surgeries, and slow, painful recoveries. As her life increasingly comes to revolve around the internal defibrillator freshly wired into her heart, she becomes consumed with questions about the supply chain that allows such an ostensibly miraculous device to exist. So she sets out to trace its materials back to their roots. From the sterile labs of a medical device manufacturer in southern California to the tantalum and tin mines seized by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a nickel and cobalt mine carved out of endemic Madagascar jungle, Lightning Flowers takes us on a global reckoning with the social and environmental costs of a technology that promises to be lifesaving but is, in fact, much more complicated. Deeply personal and sharply reported, Lightning Flowers takes a hard look at technological mythos, healthcare, and our cultural relationship to medical technology, raising important questions about our obligations to one another, and the cost of saving one life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe night’s very restless inyanga is already by the pier, eyes shut, pacing and murmuring the 11th commandment of a new faith. The beer-stained guards have exhausted their shift umpiring since dawn the eternal struggle between mynahs and crows by the rubbish bins. The fishermen, past their third bottle of cane dream of grunters, reek of shad and complain that no ship was hooked even though they cast their lines far in the far gardens of foam. And there: the sea’s eyelid full of fins the factory sirens quiet at last the hooligan moon peers over the Bluff and the horses of the deep get restless.
