Leopard Lord
by Alanna MorlandA new ruler is in Leopard's Gard. And new perils threaten the land... For fifty years, the barony of Leopard's Gard has suffered brutal rule, under a series of barons in league with a dark power. Now the latest of these is dead, and his son Varian has inherited his father's lands--but with the lands he also inherits his father's power to shapeshift, and the demands that the dark god makes in return. Varian will be forced to ravage his own subjects as his father did before him. In desperation, Varian strikes a terrible bargain. He promises that the woman he chooses to marry will be a gift to the dark god, in exchange for the land's freedom. When Varian marries the lovely Cathlin, he knows he will feel guilty about her fate, but convinces himself that one woman's life is a small price to pay for the release of thousands of his countrymen. But Varian didn't count on falling in love...

Les Chroniques de Dartmoor - Tome 1: De l’autre côté de la clôture
by Jen MinkmanJe quitte ma maison rue Heather Terrace par un samedi matin ensoleillé. Le vent souffle sur mon visage, doux et accueillant. Une sensation qui me paraît déplacée puisque je suis en route pour la Clinique. Le dernier endroit à Dartmoor City où j’ai envie d’être. Les gens tournent la tête lorsque je passe devant eux. Ils savent où je vais. Je sens le regard de Mark sur moi et manque de trébucher sur la chaussée inégale de la rue pavée. C’est la première fois qu’il s’intéresse à moi, mais pour une raison que j’aurais préféré éviter. C’est toujours la même chose ; quand je veux qu’il me remarque, à l’école, sur la place du marché, lors de célébrations, il m’évite du regard. Je suis un loup déguisé en brebis pour ces gens. Une menace potentielle. Je sais déjà ce qui va se passer à mon arrivée à la Clinique. On va me faire boire cette tisane ignoble qui me donne la nausée et me rend somnolente, soi-disant pour « me calmer ». Ensuite, je vais devoir parler à ce médecin stupide qui, comme d’habitude, va inventer des situations et me demander comment j’y réagirais. Pour évaluer mes prédispositions éventuelles à la violence. Depuis que cette ville a Purgé la personne que j’aimais le plus au monde quand j’avais douze ans, l’opprobre ne m’a jamais quitté. Je m’appelle Sarah et mon père était violent.

Les lleis de la frontera
by Javier CercasVet aquí una furiosa història damor i desamor, dimpostures i violència, de lleialtats i traïcions, denigmes sense resoldre i venjances inesperades.A lestiu de 1978, quan Espanya encara no ha sortit del franquisme i no comença a entrar encara a la democràcia, i les fronteres socials i morals semblen més poroses que mai, un adolescent anomenat Ignacio Cañas coneix per casualitat el Zarco i la Tere, dos delinqüents de la seva mateixa edat, i aquesta trobada canviarà per sempre la seva vida. Trenta anys després, un escriptor rep lencàrrec descriure un llibre sobre el Zarco, convertit en un mite de la delinqüència juvenil de la Transició, però el que lescriptor acaba trobant no és la veritat concreta del Zarco, sinó una veritat imprevista i universal, que ens incumbeix a tots. Així, a través dun relat que no dóna cap instant de treva i que amaga una complexitat extraordinària sota una superfície transparent, la novel·la esdevé una apassionada indagació sobre els límits de la nostra llibertat, sobre les motivacions inescrutables dels nostres actes i sobre la naturalesa inaprehensible de la veritat. També confirma Javier Cercas com una de les figures indispensables de la narrativa europea contemporània.

Lessons In Fusion: A Novel
by Primrose Madayag KnazanSixteen-year-old Sarah (it's pronounced SAH-rah, thank you) has a successful blog creating fusion recipes. When Sarah is invited to compete on Cyber Chef, a virtual cooking competition that soars in popularity at the height of the pandemic, her twists on her Baba's recipes are not enough to pique the palate of the show's producers. She is pushed to present dishes that represent her Filipinx culture, but these flavours are foreign to her since her parents raised her emphatically Jewish. To survive Cyber Chef and find her cultural identity, Sarah must discover why her mother turned her back on all things Filipinx, and learn the true meaning of fusion."Lessons in Fusion is very modern and includes social media as well as the difficulties of life during a pandemic, yet it is also the timeless story of one young woman who is coming of age as she discovers her familial roots and the much bigger story of the need for diversity and cultural acceptance in all facets of life." - CM Magazine

Lest Earth Be Conquered
by Frank Belknap LongThe primitives--anthropologists tell us that primitive man believed he could be in several places at the same time.

He was convinced, too, that he could at the same time be a human being and an animal; space and time held no restrictions for him. And the future...? Suppose it weren't just a primitive fantasy, suppose such powers were slumbering in some people and could be awakened. The future is now... especially for a young boy in a small midwestern town that has somehow aquired the idea that the entire Earth is in danger--from the new neighbors down the street.
