She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love. Funny, kind, and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances—to others and to yourself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2v2chg0tzz5pnhcjvccnyt.jpg?v=4f6431c20b","LzMaIqso_NWr%Mj@Rja#%MkCRjae",2025,"4.00",1,384,[198],{"id":199,"slug":200,"name":201},"01km1chc8mgfv2dzv5kq9yzgy8","sarah-beth-durst-s9fa","Sarah Beth Durst",[203,207,208,209],{"id":204,"name":205,"slug":206,"is_fiction":19},200,"Cozy Fantasy","cozy-fantasy",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":212,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":213,"themes":216,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[214,215,79],"whimsical","lighthearted",[217,218],"second-chance","grumpy-sunshine",{"id":220,"slug":221,"title":222,"description":223,"primary_cover_url":224,"cover_blurhash":225,"first_publish_year":226,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":227,"authors":228,"genres":233,"series":244,"enrichment":245},"01kx7cdwapwjfzwz2104sc2ryg","take-back-the-skies-d2u1","Take Back the Skies","To escape from a planned arranged marriage, teenaged Cat Hunter disguises herself as a boy and stows away on a smuggler's airship where she discovers a world of excitement and adventure.

Plagued by fevers, she's an unlikely candidate for even a servant's position, let alone a courtesan or wife. Her sole dream is to continue living in peace in the Sisterhood's mountain temple. But a visit from the tyrant Rajah Tarek disrupts Kalinda's life. Within hours, she is ripped from the comfort of her home, set on a desert trek, and ordered to fight for her place among the rajah's ninety-nine wives and numerous courtesans.

During the turbulent months following the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, twenty-one-year-old Emi Kato, the daughter of a Japanese diplomat, is locked behind barbed wire in a Texas interment camp, the victim of misfortune and America's new policies of fear. Plagued by fence sickness, her world changes when she meets Christian Lange, whose German-born parents were wrongfully arrested for un-American activities. Together, they live as prisoners with thousands of other German and Japanese families, but discover that young love can triumph over even the most unjust circumstances. When Emi and her mother are abruptly sent back to Japan, Christian enlists in the US Army, with his sights set on the Pacific front--and a reunion with Emi. Sent away for her safety, Emi lives out the war in a Japanese resort town where many in the foreign community have fled, including both Jews and Nazis. When she overhears a German officer boasting of the men he has murdered in Asia, fate brings Emi back to Leo Hartmann, the son of prominent Austrian Jews, now a refugee in Shanghai--her oldest friend and her first love. Fearing for his life, Emi is determined to find Leo. But will Christian's devotion be strong enough to stop her? Hurtled together by war, passion, and extraordinary acts of selflessness, the paths of these three remarkable young people collide as the fighting on the Pacific front crescendos.

Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched... [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by \"foreigners\" to the nation's Christian values.\" --Janet Maslin, The New York Times \"Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book.

So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart.

The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,256,[803],{"id":804,"slug":805,"name":806},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[808,809,813,817],{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":810,"name":811,"slug":812,"is_fiction":19},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":814,"name":815,"slug":816,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":579,"name":580,"slug":581,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":212,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":820,"themes":821,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,629],[383,121],{"id":823,"slug":824,"title":825,"description":826,"primary_cover_url":827,"cover_blurhash":828,"first_publish_year":161,"community_rating_avg":734,"community_rating_count":195,"page_count":829,"authors":830,"genres":835,"series":838,"enrichment":843},"01kvkqaj75kyzrqd7vge8j3tph","the-earl-takes-all-v8jq","The earl takes all","To honor the vow he made to his dying brother, Edward Alcott pretends to be his now-dead twin, the Earl of Greyling, until the countess, whom he has loved for years, gives birth, despite his desire to claim her for himself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kvkqaj83j0f6177h4v8qg1y0.jpg?v=e366bff98d","LLFq5#IA].O?}[V@RQx]R-M{JTj]",381,[831],{"id":832,"slug":833,"name":834},"01kr91vs4zb2d9s5kn5mjra1hx","lorraine-heath-r9tg","Lorraine Heath",[836,837],{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":743,"name":744,"slug":745,"is_fiction":19},[839],{"id":840,"slug":841,"name":842,"position":524,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kx3d7j9h3mgc5retzbqsyztz","hellions-of-havisham-z1gj","Hellions of Havisham",{"pace":76,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":844,"themes":845,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,152],[382,381,559],[]]
