Book Description
Shayde was an average girl and at age sixteen had nothing more but a simple life. A family she calls her own, a sister that she loves dearly, the life she wanted was going to come true, until one afternoon. Kit, her best friend, ever since they were both little, leading two lives. Two worlds separated holding a fate for both girls. The woods that hold the key to Shayde’s past. A crystal that unlocks the secrets to the life she’s about to have. One boy that sees something more, but can’t learn to tell the truth about it. Takrom, an evil man that will risk anything and everything, even his own daughter, to rule both worlds for himself. Creatures that are only in a person’s dreams. The boundaries of friendship and love intertwined. Two worlds, one girl to save them both in only so much time. Two moons, but nothing alike, that Shayde must save for the sake of the ones she loves and the new life she wants to live. Battles that Shayde never wanted to face become the truth that she must face not only by herself, but the people she has encountered. Shayde must learn the spell of her long dead mother to send the man that is taking over the other world to his grave in order to save both worlds. Only when the purple moon touches the ground will she try to take back what is hers once and for all.

Book Description
THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER! THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! She built the Brooklyn Bridge, so why don't you know her name? Emily Roebling built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct the Brooklyn Bridge. Perfect for book clubs and fans of Marie Benedict. Emily refuses to live conventionally—she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when her husband Washington Roebling, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building—hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of an American icon, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. The biography of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts—even at the risk of losing each other.
