Book Description
They say the world is cruel, but I've always known that. Growing up on the streets, I learned I could only count on myself. But nothing prepared me for the day I was abducted and subjected to genetic experiments. I soon discovered the tech they put inside me gave me incredible power. I never asked for this "gift," but now it's a part of me, for better or worse. When the aliens attacked, everything changed. They call them the Heavies, and they're unlike anything I've ever seen. I found myself on the front lines of a war I never signed up for, using my powers to save lives. But every time I use my power, a piece of myself slips away. Some want to control me, to use my powers for their own ends. I don't know who I can trust anymore. I never asked to be a hero, but I can't stand by and watch as the world burns. I have to keep fighting, even if it means sacrificing everything I am. My name is Ida, and this is my story. Fans of found family, resilient heroines, and harrowing quests for freedom will love Ida's courageous journey of rebellion and self-discovery. Book 1 in a complete 4-book YA dystopian series. Readers say: “Cameron Coral has a way of describing what is happening that drags you in and makes you feel the emotions in this story. It is like when you improve the graphics on your computer!! It all feels real!!” -J.M. “This fast-paced, action-packed book not only kept me wanting more but also tugged at my heart strings. I'm a sucker for the underdog - especially one who in-spite of her own unfortunate circumstances always looks out for the bullied. I love the original characters in this book and cannot wait to see how Ira overcomes and conquers.” -L.M.C. “Would recommend this book if you're into teen fantasy, can't find any faults, love this book!” -M.C.

Book Description
“The perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” —TeenVogue.com A New York Times bestseller! Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when a senator’s daughter is summoned to the galactic court as a hostage, but she’s really the galaxy’s most dangerous weapon in disguise. A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for. Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe. When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.

The Masque of the Red Death
Author: Edgar Allan Poe
Publisher: Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 13
Book Description
"The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy", is an 1842 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ballwithin seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. Poe's story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the titular disease. The story was first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazineand has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price.
