Book Description
Well do I, Hugo Gottfried, remember the night of snow and moonlight when first they brought the Little Playmate home. I had been sleeping -- a sturdy, well-grown fellow I, ten years or so as to my age -- in a stomacher of blanket and a bed-gown my mother had made me before she died at the beginning of the cold weather. Suddenly something awoke me out of my sleep. So, all in the sharp chill of the night, I got out of my bed, sitting on the edge with my legs dangling, and looked curiously at the bright streams of moonlight which crossed the wooden floor of my garret. I thought if only I could swim straight up one of them, as the motes did in the sunshine, I should be sure to come in time to the place where my mother was -- the place where all the pretty white things came from -- the sunshine, the moonshine, the starshine, and the snow. "Come down and be killed, foul brood of the Red Axe!" the children cried. And with that they ran as near as they dared, and spat on the wall of our house, or at least on the little wooden panel which opened inward in the great trebly spiked iron door of the Duke's courtyard.

Book Description
On June 10, 1912, the village of Villisca, Iowa awoke to discover a mass murder had occurred while the town slept. An entire household of eight people had been axed to death in their beds. Within 24 hours, in spite of limited mass communications, the story was national and international news, knocking the White Star Titanic off the front page and captivating the general public. The mass murder became a catalyst to a growing nation starting to realize the 20th century, with all of its advancements, held new forms of terror and insecurity. If the mass murder could happen in this idyllic little village, it could happen anywhere. Author Stephen Bowman's version of the story has been compared to Capote's IN COLD BLOOD mystery as it recreates the gruesome murder and the aftermath in an expose of rural family strife and local mores toward bigotry, superstition and caste system which still exists in rural America today. The suspenseful mystery brings to life a vivid cast of characters. Through the main characters, the themes of rural life and prejudice are revealed as they each struggle with conflicts between self-respect, family honor and justice. The crime remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century

Book Description
This “masterful epic” spans decades and oceans from Trinidad to the American frontier during the tumultuous days of westward expansion (Publishers Weekly). Trinidad, 1796. Young Rosa Rendón quietly rebels against the life others expect her to lead.

By 1830, Rosa is living among the Crow Nation in Bighorn, Montana, with her children and her husband, Edward Rose, a Crow chief. Her son Victor is of the age where he must seek his vision and become a man. But his path forward is blocked by secrets Rosa has kept from him. So Rosa must take him to where his story began and, in turn, retrace her own roots. Along the way, she must acknowledge the painful events that forced her from the middle of an ocean to the rugged terrain of a far-away land. A Booklist Editor’s Choice Book of the Year

Book Description
The dark lord, Jaghtalaf, wants to preserve all his dark powers to rule over the planet, Deroon, which is the largest planet in the whole universe. And for that, he needs all his nine shorns (super natural souls) under his control, out of which one is missing. Even after a prolonged search for more than a thousand years, he is not able to find it. To prevent anyone from misusing it against him, he starts capturing all the kingdoms in search of it. And one of the kingdoms amongst those is Rajbad, ruled by Sultan Ibrahim Thodi. Before the war of Rajbad, Ibrahim writes a letter to Sultan Mohammed Tughur of Aumaria for help. But the Aumarians do not reply. So Ibrahim has to fight the war alone and face the brutal defeat at the hands of Samash (Jaghtalaf’s 1st shorn). To avenge her family, Princess Almas (daughter of Ibrahim) moves to Aumaria to know the reason for the letter’s negligence. In Aumaria, there are competitions for deciding the crown prince, in which Prince Miraan and Prince Kilaab end up tying for the crown. So the high priest Malekulashtar sets a new challenge for them, i.e., ending the dark empire of Jaghtalaf, which would start with getting a red konon and putting off its fire ring. Almas and Miraan’s friend-turned-foe, Mehlam, is told to accompany them. On the other hand, Someshwar – the burning man, gets a vision of the flying freezers who are in search of a blue axe as it belongs to them. They are even on the tail of a boy named Alaqmar. But Alaqmar does not know why. This story is all about why the flying freezers are following Alaqmar, who is this burning man, Someshwar, and how Miraan and Kilaab are able to get the red konon and put its fire ring off with the help of Almas and Mehlam.
