Una sposa obbediente
by Jacopo Di Carlo Amaya EvansPresente: Ellie è una ragazza felice della vita che ha. È soddisfatta di quello che ha ottenuto fino ad ora, dato che le ha permesso di avere una certa stabilità economica e di aiutare a pagare gli studi di sua sorella minore. Non le interessa l'amore perché fin da piccola ha visto il male che può fare a una donna consegnare il proprio cuore a qualcuno: sua madre è stata una donna infelice per colpa di suo padre, un uomo che ha amato con tutto il cuore e che alla fine l'ha distrutta. Ma il destino ha una sorpresa in serbo per lei e, quando meno se l'aspetta, giunge in un'epoca che non è la sua, a casa di un uomo che non ha mai visto, con un carattere rozzo e autoritario. Lei ha solo una lettera in mano, destinata a lui, in cui lo informano che lei è la sposa che alcuni mesi prima ha chiesto per corrispondenza. 1880: Phillip è un uomo responsabile, lavoratore e molto bello, che vive da solo e sente che ha bisogno di una sposa, una donna che si occupi della casa e di lui, che sia obbediente e che faccia tutto quello che lui le dice; qualcuno di forte, che possa dargli figli sani e che non fugga alla prima difficoltà. Quando si accorge che quella donna magra e vestita in modo volgare è la sposa che gli hanno mandato, si infuria, e vuole cacciarla di casa e rispedirla nella sua città, ma qualcosa di lei tocca il suo cuore, e gli fa cambiare idea. Forse con un po' d'istruzione lei potrà diventare la donna che lui cerca. Ma la cosa che più lo preoccupa è che lei sembra non stare bene di mente, dato che continua a dire che viene dal futuro. Ellie desidera solo andarsene di lì, e Phillip desidera solo una sposa obbediente. Quale sarà il finale di questa storia?

Unbirthday-B&N Exclusive Edition: A Twisted Tale (A Twisted Tale)
by Liz BraswellWhat if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming. But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects-the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There's something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice's help. Mary Ann. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before the End of Time?
