Malice: A Novel (Malice #1)
by Heather WalterA princess isn&’t supposed to fall for an evil sorceress. But in this &“bewitching and fascinating&” (Tamora Pierce) retelling of &“Sleeping Beauty,&” true love is more than a simple fairy tale. &“Walter&’s spellbinding debut is for all the queer girls and women who&’ve been told to keep their gifts hidden and for those yearning to defy gravity.&”—O: The Oprah MagazineOnce upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a line of princesses to die. A curse that could only be broken by true love&’s kiss. You&’ve heard this before, haven&’t you? The handsome prince. The happily ever after. Utter nonsense. Let me tell you, no one in Briar actually cares about what happens to its princesses. Not the way they care about their jewels and elaborate parties and charm-granting elixirs. I thought I didn&’t care, either.Until I met her.Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar&’s throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn&’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though a power like mine was responsible for her curse.But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating—and she can&’t stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps it&’s what can lift it. Perhaps together we could forge a new world.Nonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, don&’t we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. And I—I am the villain.Book One of the Malice Duology

Malila Of The Scorch: Book 3 of Old Men and Infidels (Old Men and Infidels)
by W. Clark Boutwell2129 AD - The long-awaited war approaches. Young countries make one kind of mistake, while old countries make another.2129 AD - The long-awaited war approaches. Young countries make one kind of mistake, while old countries make another.

War breeds opportunity and danger. Young Malila Chiu, once a hero of the Unity, emerges from the jungle to deliver a dire message to a beleaguered America: the Deep Scorch, a polyarchy of sentient plants, declares itself to be a potent ally—or a dangerous foe.

The grand architect of the war, Unity General Eustace Jourdaine, recovering from grievous injuries, rallies to lead his troops into battle in the hopes of winning a new empire—but for whom? All the while, within the bowels of the Unity, American spies, William Butler, Hecate, and Elise, delve into the secrets of the CORE and their own mortality to thwart the invasion. Even as combat and betrayal swirl around him, the Old Man learns too late that this latest battle with the Unis may be his final one. Malila of the Scorch completes the Malila/Jesse Trilogy that started with Outland Exile and continued with Exiles&’ Escape.
Malina (Les\millors Obres De La Literatura Universal Ser. #Vol. 143)
by Ingeborg BachmannNow a New Directions book, the legendary novel that is “equal to the best of Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett” (New York Times Book Review) Malina invites the reader on a linguistic journey, into a world that stretches the very limits of language with Wittgensteinian zeal and Joycean inventiveness, where Ingeborg Bachmann ventriloquizes—and in the process demolishes—Proust, Musil, and Balzac, and yet filters everything through her own utterly singular idiom. Malina is, quite simply, unlike anything else; it’s a masterpiece. In Malina, Bachmann uses the intertwined lives of three characters to explore the roots of society’s breakdown that lead to fascism, and in Bachmann’s own words, “it doesn’t start with the first bombs that are dropped; it doesn’t start with the terror that can be written about in every newspaper. It starts with relationships between people. Fascism is the first thing in the relationship between a man and a woman, and I attempted to say that here in this society there is always war. There isn’t war and peace, there’s only war.”
Malinalli: A Novel
by Veronica ChapaAn imaginative retelling of the triumphs and sorrows of one of the most controversial and misunderstood women in Mexico&’s history and mythology, perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia&’s Gods of Jade and Shadow and Zoraida Córdova&’s The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina.A real-life historical figure, the woman known as Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, Doña Marina, and Malinalxochitl was the Nahua interpreter who helped Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés communicate with the native people of Mexico. When indigenous leaders observed her marching into their cities, they believed she was a goddess—blessed with the divine power to interpret the Spaniards&’ intentions for their land. Later, historians and pop culture would deem her a traitor—the &“Indian&” girl who helped sell Mexico&’s future to an invader. In this riveting, fantastical retelling, Malinalli is all of those things and more, but at heart, she&’s a young girl, kidnapped into slavery by age twelve, and fighting to survive the devastation wrought by both the Spanish and Moctezuma&’s greed and cruelty. Blessed with magical powers, and supported by a close-knit circle of priestesses, Mali vows to help defend her people&’s legacy. In vivid, compelling prose, debut author Veronica Chapa spins an epic tale of magic, sisterhood, survival, and Mexican resilience. This is the first novel to reimagine and reinterpret Malinalli&’s story with the empathy, humanity, and awe she&’s always deserved.
