Lords of the White Castle
by Elizabeth ChadwickWestminster, 1184-- in the court of King Henry, playful competition is about to turn into something far more serious. Young courtier Fulke FitzWarin would not be an obvious companion for Prince John, but the boy from the Welsh Marches is there as a reward for his family's loyalty to the crown. The FitzWarins are as proud as they are true, and when Fulke is accused by John of cheating during a game of chess, he cannot help but respond. Thus begins a bitter rivalry that will resonate throughout their lives.The FitzWarins dream of reclaiming their family estate and title, Lords of the White Castle. After this quarrel with Fulke, however, John's vindictiveness leads to Fulke renouncing his allegiance and becoming a rebel outlaw.In romance, too, Fulke is no closer to fulfilling his heart's desire. A youthful dalliance means nothing compared to his love for the spirited Maude le Vavasour, but marriage in medieval England is more about alliance than about love, and Fulke can only watch helplessly as Maude's father arranges a more suitable match. After all, what can Fulke offer Maude apart from a lifetime on the run....With all the intrigue and pageantry that bring the twelfth century vividly to life, this award-winning novelist spins us an irresistible tale of a deadly rivalry and an impossible love.
Lore
by Alexandra BrackenEvery seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. <P><P> Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man--now a god--responsible for their deaths. <P><P> Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. <P><P> The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to bind her fate to Athena's and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost--and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.

Lorelei of the Red Mist: Planetary Romances
by Ray Bradbury Leigh BrackettHugh Starke had died, he was absolutely certain of that. He had not survived when his spaceship crashed as he desperately tried to escape the authorities after pulling off the greatest lone-wolf heist in history. And then he awakened in a new body to find himself a powerful, rich man on a world of bizarre loveliness. He was pleased by his good luck . . . until he discovered that his new body was hated by everyone on this strange and lovely planet, and that his soul was owned by Rann, devil-goddess of Falga, who was using him for her own gain. A grand adventure from the golden age of pulps by two masters of the genre. Leigh Brackett was the undisputed Queen of Space Opera and the first woman to be nominated for the coveted Hugo Award.

Lorenzo & Bianca (Les Vampires de Venise)
by Tina FolsomDébut des années 1800, Venise est une ville où se mêlent secrets et désirs cachés. Pour Lorenzo Conti, vampire notoire et coureur de jupons, son nouveau palais promet des nuits de plaisir sans fin. Imaginez sa surprise lorsqu'il découvre une beauté à couper le souffle endormie dans sa chambre, un cadeau délicieux qu'il suppose être une offrande de ses amis prévenants. Un seul instinct prévaut : s'emparer de son trophée. Bianca arrive à Venise enveloppée dans le chagrin et le désespoir. Son père est mort et la maison ancestrale qui, selon elle, renferme un trésor inestimable, lui a été volée. Poussée par un ultime espoir, elle s'infiltre dans le palais, priant pour que le nouveau propriétaire soit encore loin. Sa mission : déterrer l'héritage de son père avant qu'il ne disparaisse à jamais. Mais le destin, aussi cruel que séduisant, la met sur le chemin du nouveau maître du palais. Lorsque Lorenzo découvre Bianca dans son sanctuaire privé, son esprit vif devient sa seule arme. Pour rester entre ces murs somptueux et poursuivre sa recherche clandestine, elle doit tisser une toile de séduction irrésistible. Quel meilleur moyen d'atteindre son but que de tenter le vampire sombre et magnétique lui-même ? Alors que Bianca déploie tout son arsenal de séduction, une danse dangereuse commence. Lorenzo, intrigué par son esprit fougueux et sa beauté indéniable, se retrouve entraîné dans un jeu où plaisir et tromperie s'entremêlent. Mais sous le masque impassible de Bianca se cache un secret aussi précieux que le trésor qu'elle recherche, un secret qui pourrait enflammer une passion aussi éternelle que la nuit elle-même… ou les exposer tous deux à un danger inimaginable. Osez vous laisser piéger dans un monde de moments volés et de désirs interdits, où la frontière entre le chasseur et la proie s'estompe à chaque regard furtif et chaque promesse murmurée.

by Mary Chase Harold BersonImagine how shocked you would be if, like ten-year-old Colin Mason, you were the oldest (smartest, best) kid in a family of four, and then you found out that all these years, without knowing it, you've had an older sister, an "awful, awful, bad, bad, girl--Loretta Mason Potts." Who? What? Wait! ... But this is only the first of many surprises that lie in store for Colin, as things get curiouser and curiouser very fast. Loretta (a glum gangly girl and so very very rude!) comes home and before you know it, Colin is secretly following her down a hidden tunnel that leads from a bedroom closet to an astonishing castle, where a charming and beautiful countess keeps court attended by a dapper and ever-obliging general, and in this world everybody loves Loretta (especially when she's rude), so much so that they're begging her to stay with them forever. What is the secret behind this mysterious other world and how does it connect to the many secrets in the Mason family? It'll take a spellbinding, hair-raising adventure, involving not just Colin and Loretta but their mother and the rest of the family, to work that out.

Los Angeles: A. D. 2017
by Philip WylieA stark and terrifying vision of an apocalyptic, environmentally ravaged near-future world from a twentieth-century master of thought-provoking science fiction In a writing career that spanned six decades, Philip Wylie created an astonishing body of work that ranged from science fiction to suspense to philosophy to social criticism, while inspiring the creation of such iconic characters as Superman, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, and Travis McGee. In Los Angeles: A.D. 2017, based on Wylie&’s own teleplay written for the hit 1970s TV series The Name of the Game and directed by a young Steven Spielberg, the author imagines a dystopian future in which environmental disaster has driven the remnants of humankind belowground. By the year 2017, a series of ecological catastrophes have eliminated most of the earth&’s population while destroying the America we once knew. The few who have survived live in underground bunkers beneath the ruins of the nation&’s major cities, controlled by ruthless corporate entities that have remolded the devastated society into USA, Inc. This is the nightmare into which crusading magazine publisher Glenn Howard awakens after forty years of sleep. As a powerful twentieth-century entrepreneur, Howard is expected to join the elite. But in this dark future age, population numbers are strictly controlled by computer; the aged, infirm, and unproductive are mercilessly eliminated; and all dissent is punished by death. For an idealist like Howard, accepting the new status quo is unthinkable. But the alternative—working with a secret rebel committed to overthrowing the cruel corporate masters—could prove the most dangerous route of all, a path that leads inexorably to one unthinkable outcome: erasure.
