A novel steeped in the power of women’s friendships, magic—and murder—from the author of Miriam’s Talisman, “a gifted storyteller” (The Dunedin Star). After a deep betrayal leaves her reeling and embittered, Sally Lavender escapes to the peaceful village of Hallowfield. Expecting to find solitude in the pastoral setting, she instead finds companionship with five women, with all of whom she shares a strangely intense connection. Before long, the shadows of her past slowly fade away and Sally discovers how strong the ties are that bind her to Hallowfield and to her new friends. But the serenity of her fresh start will be shattered when one of the women in murdered, and those very ties will demand retribution.

Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson. The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

W. B. Yeats played many roles in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century: playwright, essayist, critic, mystic, theater manager, revolutionary, and politician. But he was first and foremost a poet—perhaps the most famous poet Ireland has yet produced. This collection contains Yeats’ verse from his first published poem, “Song of the Fairies,” which appeared in a Dublin literary magazine in 1885, through 1928’s The Tower. In them the reader can trace the growth of the poet’s voice and the influences on his writing, from Irish nationalism to esoteric metaphysics. Included are some of Yeats’ most enduringly popular works: “The Second Coming,” “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” and “The Wild Swans at Coole.” This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
