Book Description
After her older sister is murdered in a horrific incident of domestic abuse, Taylor begins a new life in a new town. She meets Lily, whose open, warm manner conceals a difficult personal life of her own, coping with her brain-injured mother. The two girls embark on a tentative friendship. But just when life seems to be smoothing out, Taylor's abusive boyfriend, Devon, arrives on the scene, and before they know it, the girls find themselves in a situation that is both scary, and incredibly dangerous. Abetted by Conor, a friend who owes him a favor, Devon takes the girls to a remote cabin. There is no heat, no food, no water. There is a hunting rifle, which Devon uses to intimidate the others. As he becomes increasingly agitated, and Conor threatens to bail, the girls engage in a silent battle of their own. Lily wants to escape, while Taylor feels hopelessly trapped by her relationship with Devon and uses sex and flattery to try to keep the situation calm. The cabin becomes a pressure cooker, filled with tension as the four teenagers wrestle with their anger, fear, resentment and boredom - any one of which could tip the situation into disaster. From the opening moments when Taylor witnesses her sister's autopsy to the final cathartic scene after the two girls have survived their ordeal, the reader is glued to every page of this frank, gripping and beautifully written novel that raises questions for every teenager. Do you need to be a certain way to get a boyfriend? Can someone who loves you also hurt you? How can a million small compromises eat away at who you are? What happens when you don't think you deserve to be treated well? How do you end up in an abusive relationship, and what keeps you there? Elise Moser goes deeply into the hearts and minds of Lily and Taylor, who in the end save each other in unexpected ways.

Book Description
My college roommate is the worst. Cecile steals my food, brings guys over at all hours, and parties instead of studying. But those quirks pale in comparison to what she does next. She drugs me, and I wake up imprisoned in an alternate universe full of terrifying creatures. Now, the biggest and scariest creature of all-a fae king-believes I'm his mate. He's freed me from the dungeon but keeps me close. So close, in fact, that I'm beginning to like his wintery gaze and ice-chiseled body. But secrets and villains lurk throughout this new world, and I don't know if I'll survive long enough to figure out how to get back home.Lily's Note: This beautiful hardback edition includes the first four books in the Fae's Captive Series: Fae's Captive, Road to Winter, Bite of Winter, and Beyond the Mountain, which completes Taylor and Leander's story.

Book Description
The advice given to Cicero by his astute, campaign-conscious brother to prepare him for the consular elections of 64 B.C., has a curiously modern ring: "Avoid taking a definite stand on great public issues either in the Senate or before the people. Bend your energies towards making friends of key-men in all classes of voters." Party Politics in the Age of Caesar is a shrewd commentary on this text, designed to clarify the true meaning in Roman political life of such terms as "party" and "faction." Taylor brilliantly explains the mechanics of Roman politics as she discusses the relations of nobles and their clients, the manipulation of the state religion for political expedience, and the practical means of delivering the vote. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1961.

Book Description
An uprooted Lily falls in love with a blushing bride, much to the dismay of The Great Longing Deity, a malicious stage curtain hell-bent on spreading nostalgia and institutionalized narrative. Tasked with becoming a real man in order to wed its beloved, the Lily attempts to hijack the story and create its own kind of narrative. What follows is an epic dismantling of theatrical norms and an inspiring, raucous ode to storytelling in all its myriad forms. Part Noh play, part musical, part verse play, part dance-theater, part silent film, and part party, The Lily's Revenge is a one-of-a-kind extravaganza of theater, love, and community.

Book Description
HEADS WILL ROLL! Lily of Avalon is the long-awaited fifth book in the popular Seven Sisters of Avalon series. Like the first four books, Lily takes her readers on a fantastic journey through the "Britain Beyond" of the late sixth century when those who worship the Goddess face harsh conversion tactics from the Christian Church which has now risen to dominance. The Daughters of Avalon begins the series with the story of Bran and Lillian, while Rose of Avalon, Aster of Avalon, Iris of Avalon, and now Lily of Avalon tell the stories of their daughters who go into the seven kingdoms of Britain to return magic to the land and liaison with the country's leaders to protect the people of the Goddess. Lily of Avalon marks an unexpected turn in the eight book series and like the classic fairy tale on which it is based, just when you think you've figured out the story, you fall through the looking glass and find that everything you thought you knew is now backwards. In this volume, Lily, a troubled seer who knows just how different she is from her sisters, takes a mysterious journey to Powys to act as a Holy Fool for King Cynan, a savagely ambitious and tyrannical ruler. Imprisoned in a court of madness, she encounters a world she could not imagine and a cast of bizarre characters beyond her wildest visions as she fights to keep her wits and her head both in their proper places. Praise for Lily of Avalon: What do fans of the Seven Sisters of Avalon series have to say about the newest release in the eight-book series? "I found this book fun to read and fast paced. I did not want to put it down. The beginning was familiar on the shores of Avalon then following Lily's adventure to a terrifying end and mystery as to where or when is she now. There is just so much I love about this author's work. I love how the storytelling weaves fact and fiction and how it's fun and then downright scary. Skipping along reading and laughing and then racing in terror through dinner. I don't want this to be the end. No matter where or when this story goes, I want to be there." ...Dotti Moore "Lily of Avalon is the sixth book in the Seven Sisters of Avalon series and Katrina Rasbold does not disappoint! The intensity in the story line as we follow Lily and her fascinating cast of characters is interwoven with deeper meaning and thought-provoking details. Regular readers will have the surprise eureka moment we have all come to love with this series. Love love loved it, Katrina!!!! Just WOW!" ...Sondra Rae Hudson "The reader is deftly brought into this sister's quest as the author masterfully brings history and fantasy together into possibility. One is brought into the thoughts, emotions, fears and insecurities of this untested Priestess of Avalon embarking on her individual journey. Ms. Rasbold brings the reader along through a maze of acceptance among the madness of Lily's unrestrained gifts. In the process, one questions our own perceptions, what is real and what is illusion, quickly choosing to follow that rabbit as he races for his hole." ...Edye Cheeseman
