PN - 287 - Queen of Kings by Maria Dahvana Headley (Historical Fiction, Paranormal, Magic, Vampires, Horror)
- Bestseller
There’s more than one path to immortality…
A thrilling, chilling reimagining of the story of the most famous woman in history.
Once there was a queen of Egypt…a queen who became through magic something else…
The
year is 30 BC. Octavian Caesar and his massed legions are poised to
enter Alexandria. A messenger informs Egypt’s queen, Cleopatra, that her
beloved Mark Antony has died by his own hand. Desperate to save her
kingdom, resurrect her husband and protect all she holds dear, Cleopatra
turns to the gods for help. Ignoring the warnings of those around her,
she summons Sekhmet, goddess of death and destruction, and strikes a
mortal bargain. And not even the wisest of Egypt’s scholars could have
predicted what would follow…
It is a journey that will
take her from the tombs of the Pharaohs to the great amphitheatres of
imperial Rome and on, to Hell itself where, it seems, the fate of the
world will finally be decided.
Blending authentic historical
fiction and the darkest of fantasy, Queen of Kings is a spectacular and
spellbinding feat of the imagination that fans of Neil Gaiman, Diana
Gabaldon, George R.R. Martin, Patricia Briggs, Philippa Gregory, and
Ridley Scott's Gladiator won’t want to miss.
N - 18 - The Year of Yes by Maria Dahvana Headley (Nonfiction, Autobiography)
"Why not go out on a
date with everyone who asks you? Plenty of reasons. They might be crazy.
They might be creepy. They might be something other than what you're
looking for. But then again, how would you know? Isn't love supposed to
be blind? Isn't it supposed to be about who the person really is, not
about what they look like?"
The Year of Yes is an account of
one woman's quest to find a man she can stand (for longer than a couple
of hours). Frustrated by her own pitiful taste, writer Maria Headley
decided to leave her love life up to fate, going out with everyone who
asked her: homeless men, taxi drivers and yes, even a couple of women.
Opening her heart and mind to the possibility that her perfect match
might be the person she least expected, she spent twelve months dating
most of New York City.

Bestseller
Since she was a baby,
Aza Ray Boyle has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it
ever harder for her to breathe, to speak—to live. So when Aza catches a
glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side
effect of her medication. But Aza doesn’t think this is a hallucination.
She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.
Only her best
friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who’s always been there. Jason, for whom
she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider
that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our
world—and found by another. Magonia.
Above the clouds, in a land
of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In
Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense
power...
PN - 288/2 - Aerie (Magonia #2) by Maria Dahvana Headley - Bestseller
Where is home when you were born in the stars?
Aza
Ray is back on earth. Her boyfriend Jason is overjoyed. Her family is
healed. She’s living a normal life, or as normal as it can be if you’ve
spent the past year dying, waking up on a sky ship, and discovering that
your song can change the world.
As in, not normal. Part of Aza still yearns for the clouds, no matter how much she loves the people on the ground.
When
Jason’s paranoia over Aza’s safety causes him to make a terrible
mistake, Aza finds herself a fugitive in Magonia, tasked with opposing
her radical, bloodthirsty, recently-escaped mother, Zal Quel, and her
singing partner, Dai. She must travel to the edge of the world in search
of a legendary weapon, the Flock, in a journey through fire and
identity that will transform her forever.

F - 2292 - The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley (Fiction and Fantasy, Magical Realism, Contemporary, Mythology)
Two mothers—a suburban housewife and a battle-hardened veteran—struggle to protect those they love in this modern retelling of Beowulf.
From
the perspective of those who live in Herot Hall, the suburb is a
paradise. Picket fences divide buildings—high and gabled—and the
community is entirely self-sustaining. Each house has its own fireplace,
each fireplace is fitted with a container of lighter fluid, and
outside—in lawns and on playgrounds—wildflowers seed themselves in neat
rows. But for those who live surreptitiously along Herot Hall’s
periphery, the subdivision is a fortress guarded by an intense network
of gates, surveillance cameras, and motion-activated lights.
For Willa, the wife of
Roger Herot (heir of Herot Hall), life moves at a charmingly slow pace.
She flits between mommy groups, playdates, cocktail hour, and dinner
parties, always with her son, Dylan, in tow. Meanwhile, in a cave in the
mountains just beyond the limits of Herot Hall lives Gren, short for
Grendel, as well as his mother, Dana, a former soldier who gave birth as
if by chance. Dana didn’t want Gren, didn’t plan Gren, and doesn’t know
how she got Gren, but when she returned from war, there he was. When
Gren, unaware of the borders erected to keep him at bay, ventures into
Herot Hall and runs off with Dylan, Dana’s and Willa’s worlds collide.
