Alexandra is a normal teenage girl just trying to make it through her relatively miserable high school life. Her aunt has done her best to raise her since her parents died, and her best friend Sam is a blessing in her somewhat bleak life, even though every other member of the opposite sex seems to leave her tongue tied and flustered. But her life takes a shift for the worst just before her eighteenth birthday, kicked off by a nightmare that has more meaning than she's ready to accept. When she is suddenly thrust into a world of demons, held captive by the handsome and dangerous prince Balthazar, she has no choice but to strike a bargain with him. She helps him unleash the power that he needs to hold his newly acquired kingdom together, and in return he agrees to send her home. But when unwanted feelings of attraction begin to arise, the demon prince finds it a bit too hard to let her go so easily. And Alexandra isn't quite sure she's ready for him to let her go.

Patterns of India
Author: Christine Chitnis
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 0525577106
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
It’s the trip of a lifetime—a textile-based tour of colorful Rajasthan, India featuring more than 200 lush photographs depicting everyday life in one of the most vibrant regions in the world. ”Get lost in the beauty of the photographs in Patterns of India, a striking journey through the colorful Indian state of Rajasthan.”—BuzzFeed Patterns of India is a visual experience that offers intimate insights into the diverse and richly hued Western Indian culture. Color is the thread that binds the vast country together, defining every aspect of life from religion and politics to food and dress. Organized by the five dominant colors royal blue, sandstone, marigold, ivory, and rose, this book explores how deeply color and pattern exist in a symbiotic relationship and are woven into every part of the culture. For instance, the fuchsia found in the draping fabric of a sari is matched by the vibrant chains of roses offered at temple, and the burnt orange spices in the marketplaces are reflected in the henna tattoos given to brides and wedding guests. While every color is imbued with meaning, it is often within the details of patterns that the full story comes to light. Photographer and writer Christine Chitnis spent over a decade traveling through, getting to know, and falling in love with the intricate patterns of everyday Rajasthani life. With history and culture-based essays woven throughout the more than 200 stunning photographs of architecture, markets, cuisine, art, textiles, and everyday goings-on, Patterns of India captures the beauty and essence of this unique part of the world.
