Pages : 206
Book Description
Discover a collection of fairy tales unlike the ones you've read before . . . Once upon a time, in the middle of winter, a King sat at a window and sewed. As he sewed and gazed out onto the landscape, he pricked his finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow outside. People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change.. They haven't rewritten the stories in this book. They haven't reimagined endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but you'll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters you're about to discover.

Carousel Tides
Author: Sharon Lee
Publisher: Baen Publishing Enterprises
ISBN: 1618247913
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Kate Archer left home years ago, swearing that she would die before she returned to Maine. As plans go, it was a pretty good one ¾ simple and straightforward. Not quite fast enough, though. Before she can quite manage the dying part, Kate gets notice that her grandmother is missing, leaving the carousel that is the family business untended. And in Archers Beach, that means way more trouble than just a foreclosure. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Advanced Praise for Carousel Tides: _Carousel Tides pulls you into the chill foggy reality of peeling-paint sand-grit coastal Maine outside of tourist season and then hands you something else ¾ the hidden world lurking in shadows or under the lands surface or just offshore, where Black Dogs hunt the night and selkies toss unpleasant truths over their shoulders before diving into the next wave. In the center of this, Kate Archer tends and guards one of the spookiest carousels this side of Ray Bradbury and wonders what has happened to her grandmother. The old woman sent her a letter, left papers deeding over the carousel and old house and the Land (meaning much more than property), and vanished, telling the spirits of the land and sea that she expected to be back before the turning of the year. _Now March has come and gone and Kate must return from self-exile to take up powers and responsibilities she has renounced, or dying will be the least of her problems... _Sharon Lee weaves fantasy into reality so deftly that you scarcely notice when you slip across the edge. And once youre there, the storys own magic wont let you turn back from the strong characters, deep mysteries, and even deeper danger.Ó ¾James A. Hetley, author of Dragons Eye, Dragons Teeth, and Dragons Bones * * * _Proof that contemporary fantasy is alive and well and living beyond the big city limits ¾ Carousel Tides is a worthy inheritor to Charles DeLints Newford series, and magical in its own right. Delightful.Ó ¾ Laura Anne Gilman, author of Hard Magic * * * _Sharon Lee is one of my all-time favorite authors, a gifted storyteller whose work never fails to enchant. With Carousel Tides she gives her fans another opportunity to spend time with fascinating characters, bringing them to life in a place that becomes so real you can smell the salt air around you. Her fine hand with detail never lets the suspense falter, as mystery, folklore, and magic are artfully interwoven into a thoroughly engaging tale. Carousel Tides will leave you eagerly awaiting the next novel by this master.Ó ¾Jan Burke, author of The Messenger, Bones, and Bloodlines * * * _Sharon Lees finely observed detail evokes magic in Maine and gives conviction to six alternate, richly-inhabited universes.Ó ¾ Rob Weisbrot, author of Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules, the Legendary Journeys: The Official Companion * * * _Carousel Tides is a gripping, enthralling read that I didnt want to put down for any reason. From its beautifully detailed small-town Maine setting to a cosmology that manages to be unique and familiar at the same time, this book demonstrates the best of what urban fantasy can be. Its rare that I find a book I can recommend without any reservations; Carousel Tides is one of those books.Ó ¾ Seanan McGuire, author of Rosemary and Rue, A Local Habitation, and An Artificial Night

Kate Archer, Guardian and carousel-keeper, has been busy making some changes of her own, notably beginning a romantic relationship with Borgan, the Guardian of the Gulf of Maine, Kate's opposite number, and, some would say, her natural mate. Oh, and she's been instrumental in releasing the prisoners that had been bound into the carousel animals -- which she's inclined to think is a good thing. . . Until a former sea goddess sets up housekeeping in the Gulf of Maine, challenging Borgan's authority; endangering Kate and everything she holds precious. . . .because the goddess has fallen in love in Borgan; and she'll stop at nothing to possess him. Archers Beach is about to suffer a sea-change -- and the question is whether Kate can survive it.
