Book Description
Zyanya: Always and Forever is the beginning of a three-book saga that takes place in a central Mexican rainforest. Zyanya is the name of the prosperous coffee plantation that Severo Alba founded. Former shaman and now deceased, Severo's lineage was chosen to bear and raise the child who would one day become the Great Shaman, fulfilling a 550-year-old prophecy. His son and grandson reject their heritage. They flee from the legend, the rituals, and shamanism. Now the ancient prophecy's time has come, when a great Shaman shall rise against evil, combining the power and wisdom of the most influential shamans in all the tribes. It is Jairo, Alba's great-grandson's time. Having been raised in Texas, away from Zyanya and the prophecies, 17-year-old Jairo is completely unaware of his legacy. The story begins when Tabatha, a 16-year-old girl from Dallas who is involuntarily moving with her parents to a third world country where her stepfather will be a doctor, arrives at a tiny village where the coffee plantation Zyanya is located. She is angry at leaving behind her life in Dallas and has a recurring dream about a boy who unsettles her. Uprooted from their city lives, these two teens face terrifying danger, as sorcery, magic and romance touch their lives. Greta Benavides-Adame was born in Monterrey, Mexico. She is married, has four grown children, and is a teacher in Giddings, Texas. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/GretaBenavides-Adame

Book Description
The definition of cursed is damned. A curse is an appeal or prayer for evil or misfortune to befall someone, to invoke supernatural powers in order to bring harm to someone. In ancient times, this was used in witchcraft or other forms of medieval sorcery. Cursed is the combined story of the Harrington curse, the curse of Zyanya following the trail of a curse that has lasted centuries and finally is revealed in a massive conclusion at the end in final chapter of Cursed. Never has there been a more bloody experience related as this in the entire history of the world as the twenty-first century is threatened by the past. Read on if you dare.

Book Description
Noah and Violet Oberllyn worked for the government for years and always dreamed of having a retreat center when they retired. Just as it seemed those dreams were going to happen, an odd series of events forced their over achieving adult children to have to return home to the retreat center to live - all four of them with spouses in tow- each driven from their homes by different aspects of a government that appeared set on destroying the planet. Led by their eldest son Kai, they uncover a secret committee of people called the Brotherhood whose main goal appears to be to take the earth's population down from 7 billion to 500 million within the next 10 years. Having released an airborne anti-fertility virus that rapidly spread across the planet, the Committee succeeded in forcing a zero fertility rate. In the meantime, the economy of the US tanked, and the government sells all citizens who have debt into slavery within a system so harsh that civil disorder breaks out. The Infant Conspiracy is dystopian-but not future, since everything in it is present day tech-and it is creepily possible. Be prepared to be disturbed-and to want to do something to stop this feom happening now.

Book Description
In this New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, the son of working-class Mexican immigrants flees a life of labor in fruit-packing plants to run in a Native American marathon from Canada to Guatemala in this "stunning memoir that moves to the rhythm of feet, labor, and the many landscapes of the Americas" (Catriona Menzies-Pike, author of The Long Run). Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez worked at an apple–packing plant alongside his mother, who “slouched over a conveyor belt of fruit, shoulder to shoulder with mothers conditioned to believe this was all they could do with their lives.” A university scholarship offered escape, but as a first–generation Latino college–goer, Álvarez struggled to fit in. At nineteen, he learned about a Native American/First Nations movement called the Peace and Dignity Journeys, epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America. He dropped out of school and joined a group of Dené, Secwépemc, Gitxsan, Dakelh, Apache, Tohono O’odham, Seri, Purépecha, and Maya runners, all fleeing difficult beginnings. Telling their stories alongside his own, Álvarez writes about a four–month–long journey from Canada to Guatemala that pushed him to his limits. He writes not only of overcoming hunger, thirst, and fear—dangers included stone–throwing motorists and a mountain lion—but also of asserting Indigenous and working–class humanity in a capitalist society where oil extraction, deforestation, and substance abuse wreck communities. Running through mountains, deserts, and cities, and through the Mexican territory his parents left behind, Álvarez forges a new relationship with the land, and with the act of running, carrying with him the knowledge of his parents’ migration, and—against all odds in a society that exploits his body and rejects his spirit—the dream of a liberated future. "This book is not like any other out there. You will see this country in a fresh way, and you might see aspects of your own soul. A beautiful run." —Luís Alberto Urrea, author of The House of Broken Angels "When the son of two Mexican immigrants hears about the Peace and Dignity Journeys—'epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America'—he’s compelled enough to drop out of college and sign up for one. Spirit Run is Noé Álvarez’s account of the four months he spends trekking from Canada to Guatemala alongside Native Americans representing nine tribes, all of whom are seeking brighter futures through running, self–exploration, and renewed relationships with the land they’ve traversed." —Runner's World, Best New Running Books of 2020 "An anthem to the landscape that holds our identities and traumas, and its profound power to heal them." —Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River

Book Description
There is no crueler cage than the confines of the human mind in this riveting sequel to Menagerie from the New York Times–bestselling author. When their coup of Metzger’s Menagerie is discovered, Delilah Marlow and her fellow cryptids find their newly won freedom brutally stripped away as they are sold into The Savage Spectacle, a private collection of “exotic wildlife.” Specializing in ruthless cryptid cage matches, safari-style creature hunts and living party favors, the Spectacle’s owner, Willem Vandekamp, caters to the forbidden fetishes of the wealthy and powerful. At the Spectacle, any wish can be granted—for the right price. But Vandekamp’s closely guarded client list isn’t the only secret being kept at the Spectacle. Beneath the beauty and brutality of life in the collection lie much darker truths, and no one is more determined than Delilah to strip the masks from the human monsters and drag all dark things into the light. “Oh what a disturbingly dark, and haunting world Rachel Vincent has crafted! Spectacle is definitely not for the fainthearted. However, it is the characters who are the heart and soul of Spectacle. The world they live in is harsh and brutal but it is the strength, love, and loyalty we see emerging out of the darkness that makes Spectacle so significant. I can’t wait to see what unfolds in the third book of the Menagerie series!” —Fresh Fiction “A bravura example of fantasy series-building.” —Publishers Weekly
