The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
by William GoldmanWilliam Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless. Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that's home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”

In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini--the criminal philosopher who'll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik--the gentle giant; Inigo--the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen--the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans and jumping into their stories is Westley, Princess Buttercup's one true love and a very good friend of a very dangerous pirate.

The Princess and the Fangirl: A Geekerella Fairy Tale (Once Upon A Con #2)
by Ashley PostonThe Prince and the Pauper gets a Geekerella-style makeover in this witty and heartfelt novel for those who believe in the magic of fandom. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off. On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn’t mind being axed. Jessica Stone doesn’t even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she’s desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen’s best friend run their booth. But as these “princesses” race to find the script leaker—in each other’s shoes—they’re up against more than they bargained for. From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations...and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.

Princesa de cenizas
by Laura SebastianPrincesa. Prisionera. Huérfana. Rebelde. Cuando todo lo que queda de tu pasado son cenizas, debes buscar muy dentro de ti para encontrar la llama que puede devolverte la fuerza. Theodosia tenía tan solo seis años cuando los Kalovaxians invadieron su país y asesinaron a su madre, la Reina de la Llama y la Furia, delante de sus propios ojos. En aquel momento, la joven princesa lo perdió todo. Incluso su nombre. Con el nuevo nombre de Thora y el ridículo apodo de «princesa de Cenizas», Theodosia ha vivido diez años prisionera en su propio palacio sufriendo los maltratos y las humillaciones del káiser. Pero cuando el dictador la obliga a ejecutar a la única persona que podría haberla salvado de su pesadilla, Theodosia decide resurgir de las cenizas. Su astucia es más poderosa que cualquier espada. Y un reino no se gana siempre en el campo de batalla. Durante diez años la Princesa de Cenizas ha visto su tierra saqueada y a su pueblo esclavizado. Ha llegado el momento de ponerle fin a esta opresión. Reseñas:«Un inicio de serie emocionalmente complejo y repleto de suspense que te deja sin aliento.»Booklist «Una trama que mezcla con habilidad intriga política, magia poderosa y debilitante y los violentos mecanismos de la colonización, sumergiendo al lector en una trama tan turbulenta como cautivadora.»Kirkus Reviews «Una ventana abierta a las complejidades de las relaciones y emociones humanas, las tensiones familiares y la falsa cara pública que a veces se necesita en la política y en la corte [...] Un final apoteósico para una secuela.»Publishers Weekly «Los amantes de la fantasía, de Kiera Cass y de Suzanne Collins lo adorarán.»SLJ

The Prince Who Became a Monk & Other Stories from Tamil Literature
by M. L. ThangappaAthiyaman, a hardened warrior, fearsome to his enemies and magnanimous to those he favoured. Kumanan, a king so benevolent that he was even willing to sacrifice his own life for another. The poet Pisiraandaiyar, who stood by his royal friend Kopperuncholan even in the worst of times. And Avvaiyar, a venerable woman poet, respected by rulers and subjects alike. This colourful and powerful cast of characters comes together in The Prince Who Became a Monk and Other Stories from Tamil Literature. Selected and translated by Sahitya Akademi award-winner M.L. Thangappa, the stories in this volume were originally poems written by famed Tamil poets belonging to a time when kings and poets equalled each other in authority and respect, and when valour and talent were considered the greatest virtues. These tales celebrate family, friendships and bonds that survive the tests of distance and time, bringing to the fore historical figures who depict faith, humility and kindness. Through delicately woven imagery and subtly imparted wisdom, this collection of more than 35 stories brings alive an era of glory, and the poets who immortalized it in their words.
