Bloomsbury Cinderella Is Dead Bayron Kalynn

С тех пор, как она себя помнит, Брисеида обладала властью над растениями. Цветы распускаются у ее ног, а листья поворачиваются к ней лицом, как будто она была солнцем. Это сила, которую она и ее приемные матери всю свою жизнь пытались скрыть. А потом Брисеида наследует старый дом от своей биологической матери и внезапно обнаруживает, что у нее есть пространство и уединение, чтобы впервые испытать свои силы • Но когда Брисеида начинает возвращать к жизни разросшийся сад дома, она обнаруживает, что также унаследовала секреты многих поколений. Скрытый алтарь темной богини, родословная ведьм, уходящая корнями в древние времена, и скрытый сад, заросший самыми смертоносными ядовитыми растениями на земле. И давно ушедшие предки Брисеиды не дадут ей покоя, пока она не займет свое место хранительницы ужасной силы, которая лежит в сердце Ядовитого сада

Мать Брисеиды мертва, но есть один шанс вернуть ее: найти последний кусочек смертоносного сердца Абсирта. Если Бри хочет найти недостающую часть, она должна обратиться к кровным родственникам, которых она никогда не знала, узнать об их тайных способностях и занять свое место в их древнем роду. Но Бри не единственная, кто хочет заполучить Сердце, и ее враги не остановятся ни перед чем, чтобы осуществить свои собственные безжалостные планы. Укрепленная сестринством древней магии, сможет ли она использовать свою силу, чтобы спасти людей, которых она любит больше всего? • Калин Байрон, автор бестселлеров "Золушка мертва" и "Это ядовитое сердце", возвращается со второй и последней книгой в этой потрясающей, вдохновляющей и всеобъемлющей фэнтезийной дуологии - "Эта злая судьба"

"When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name . . . .It is perhaps only in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer."—Jeffrey Eugenides, from the introduction to My Mistress's Sparrow Is DeadAll proceeds from My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead will go directly to fund the free youth writing programs offered by 826 Chicago
