If you’re a thief in the Seven Kingdoms, there are a few things you don’t do: annoy wizards, trust pawnbrokers, and least of all – fuck around with the Valarian royal family. Marrox knows these rules but after a night of anal with Saryn, a gorgeous redhead, he’s persuaded to break the last rule. The result is a world of hurt! They end up in the hands of the royal family who are determined to make an example of the two criminals. Worst of all is the beautiful Princess Cassilla, a bisexual intellectual with a scientific approach to pain and domination. She’s trying to reconstruct ancient methods of torture in her dungeon workroom. Cassilla has the looks of a fairy tale princess but twisted morals and no mercy. Their ordeal includes bondage, domination, alchemy, torture machines and mental torments designed to break the pair – all within a fairy tale castle, at the hands of a beautiful sadist. When Cassilla has finished with them, they will serve as evidence that you just don’t try to steal from the Valarian royal family! Can Marrox get them out of this mess, or will Cassilla execute the pair of them through extreme pain and pleasure?

Peggy Orenstein, acclaimed author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers Girls & Sex and Schoolgirls, offers a radical, timely wake-up call for parents, revealing the dark side of a pretty and pink culture confronting girls at every turn as they grow into adults. Sweet and sassy or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as the source of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But how dangerous is pink and pretty, anyway? Being a princess is just make-believe; eventually they grow out of it . . . or do they? In search of answers, Peggy Orenstein visited Disneyland, trolled American Girl Place, and met parents of beauty-pageant preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. The stakes turn out to be higher than she ever imagined. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable—yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives.

The buzz word in education today is accountability. But the federal mandate of "no child left behind" has come to mean curriculums driven by preparation for standardized tests and quantifiable learning results. Even for very young children, unstructured creative time in the classroom is waning as teachers and administrators are under growing pressures to measure school readiness through rote learning and increased homework. In her new book, Vivian Gussin Paley decries this rapid disappearance of creative time and makes the case for the critical role of fantasy play in the psychological, intellectual, and social development of young children. A Child's Work goes inside classrooms around the globe to explore the stunningly original language of children in their role-playing and storytelling. Drawing from their own words, Paley examines how this natural mode of learning allows children to construct meaning in their worlds, meaning that carries through into their adult lives. Proof that play is the work of children, this compelling and enchanting book will inspire and instruct teachers and parents as well as point to a fundamental misdirection in today's educational programs and strategies.
