Secret of the Stone - Barbara Delinsky

An artist who coaxes beauty from stone finds her own passion transformed by the touch of one man in this exhilarating romance from the bestselling author.  At only twenty-nine, Paige Mattheson has found success as a sculptor, working from a seaside home in Massachusetts that gives her the solitude and inspiration she craves. But a lot of her buyers are in Manhattan, and it’s there that she catches the eye of film editor Jesse Dallas. He can tell from her work that Paige is much more passionate than her poised, self-contained image would have everyone believe. To that end, he poses as her limousine driver to spend the day with her—and see where that takes them.  Shocked by the attraction she has for her driver, Paige feels a longing she never felt before—and surrenders herself to an intoxicating desire. A one-night stand is what both of them wanted and expected. But Paige is unlike any woman Jesse has ever met, and her discovery of his true self will only whet her appetite for more . . .  Praise for Barbara Delinsky  “Delinsky’s writing is fluid and makes for a hard-to-put-down book.” —Glamour  “Delinsky is a ...

The Secret in the Wings - Mary Zimmerman

Mary Zimmerman’s The Secret in the Wings adapts a group of lesser-known fairy tales to create a theatrical work that sets their dark mystery against her signature wit and humour. The framing story concerns a child and the frightening babysitter with whom her parents leave her. As the babysitter reads from a book, the characters in each of the tales materialise, with each tale breaking off just at its bleakest moment before giving way to the next one. The central tale is told without interruption, after which each previous tale is successively resumed, with each looming disaster averted. As in Zimmerman’s other productions, here she uses costumes, props, sets, and lighting to brilliant effect, creating images and feelings that render the fairy tales in all their elemental and enduring power.

The Writing in the Stone - Irving Finkel

The landscape of this dark and powerful story is the ancient world of Assyria some 3000 years ago, a time when writing was in the world''s oldest script, cuneiform, and the domination of unseen forces firmly in the hands of the stateÂ’s leading Exorcist.In the capital, Nineveh, resides a deep and complex man, the power behind the King of the World. Faced with unforeseen disaster that threatens his authority, he emerges as a psychopathic killer.The author uses his familiarity with ancient writings preserved in the worldÂ’s museums to recreate a vanished world in which those who step from the shadows in ruthless violence to pursue ultimate control show themselves at the same time to be disconcertingly human.The tight prose and graphic illustrations make this a gripping and unusual tale not of this world, but at the same time weirdly familiar.

King Arthur And His Knights Of The Round Table - Green Roger Lancelyn

The legends of King Arthur - the most revered hero of British Mythology - have been retold many times, but Roger Lancelyn Green''s version has become a classic since its first publication in 1953. Using as his sources not only Malory''s MORTE D''ARTHUR but other chronicles, poems and romances, he has made each adventure of Arthur''s knights part of an overall pattern - the struggle of Arthur''s kingdom, the realm of Logress, the model of chivalry and right, against the barbarism and evil that surrounded and at length engulfed it. So here are the stories of the sword in the stone, of the Green Knight, of the fatal love between Launcelot and Guinevere, of the quest for the Holy Grail, and of the final departing of Arthur to the Vale of Avalon. The illustrations are taken from an edition of MORTE D''ARTHUR published in 1893 with which Aubrey Beardsley first made a name for himself at the age of twenty.

The Chosen Queen - Sam Davey

Before the sword in the stone, before the rise of Arthur, there was Igraine—the woman whose choices would shape the fate of Camelot.In this bold, feminist reimagining of Arthurian legend, Igraine steps out of the shadows of myth to reclaim her story—a tale forged in magic, betrayal, and the brutal cost of prophecy. Raised in the mystical traditions of Avalon, Igraine is more than just a princess—she''s a force of nature. Her marriage to the Cornish War Duke Gorlois is one of rare passion and political unity, but when Gorlois turns his back on the old magic, cracks begin to form—not just in their bond, but in the fragile peace of Britain itself. At a royal gathering, King Uther Pendragon’s lust for Igraine ignites a firestorm. When he acts on his obsession, it triggers a chain of war and treachery that Merlin claims is foretold by prophecy: Igraine is fated to bear the Once and Future King. But destiny has a dark price. As kingdoms clash and alliances crumble, Igraine rises as the spiritual and political heart of Tintagel. She leads the women abandoned by war, trains her daughters—Morgause and Morgan—in the old ways, and dares to dream of a ... Unknown localization key: "more"
