Beautiful young Princess Margot is summoned to the court of France, where nothing is what it seems and a wrong word can lead to ruin. Known across Europe as Madame la Serpente, Margot's intimidating mother, Queen Catherine de Médicis, is a powerful force in a country devastated by religious war. Among the crafty nobility of the royal court, Margot learns the intriguing and unspoken rules she must live by to please her poisonous family. Eager to be an obedient daughter, Margot accepts her role as a marriage pawn, even as she is charmed by the powerful, charismatic Duc de Guise. Though Margot's heart belongs to Guise, her hand will be offered to Henri of Navarre, a Huguenot leader and a notorious heretic looking to seal a tenuous truce. But the promised peace is a mirage: her mother's schemes are endless, and her brothers plot vengeance in the streets of Paris. When Margot's wedding devolves into the bloodshed of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, she will be forced to choose between her family and her soul.

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. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature.\" -- The Wall Street Journal \"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel.\" --The Atlanta Journal Constitution\"With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction.

Born in splendor difficult to imagine today, she endured a lifetime of relentless tragedy with courage and exceptional powers of adjustment. 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,[358],{"id":359,"slug":360,"name":361},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[363,364,365,369],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":298,"name":299,"slug":300,"is_fiction":19},{"id":366,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":304,"complexity":10,"audience":120,"mood":372,"themes":373,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[122,307],[125,229],[375,604,709,844],{"key":376,"params":377,"works":378},"theme",{"theme":125},[379,431,476,514,544,571],{"id":380,"slug":381,"title":382,"description":383,"primary_cover_url":384,"cover_blurhash":385,"first_publish_year":386,"community_rating_avg":387,"community_rating_count":209,"page_count":388,"authors":389,"genres":394,"series":427,"enrichment":428},"01kmdnsdg8wh7xsg88xafr72tt","aanak-brayh-alork-aekt","عناق برائحة الورق","In a country where a letter of the alphabet is outlawed, a writer and a woman meet under the most unusual circumstances.

To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.50",[858],{"id":859,"slug":860,"name":861},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[863,864,865,866,870,871],{"id":404,"name":405,"slug":406,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":462,"name":463,"slug":464,"is_fiction":19},{"id":867,"name":868,"slug":869,"is_fiction":19},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":458,"name":459,"slug":460,"is_fiction":19},{"id":872,"name":873,"slug":874,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":304,"complexity":10,"audience":120,"mood":877,"themes":879,"setting_period":10,"summary":882,"content_warnings":10},[227,123,878],"thought-provoking",[880,881],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":884,"slug":885,"title":886,"description":887,"primary_cover_url":888,"cover_blurhash":889,"first_publish_year":890,"community_rating_avg":891,"community_rating_count":484,"page_count":636,"authors":892,"genres":897,"series":913,"enrichment":914},"01kjr3bm25g7v8rjvsx07zzxsq","the-devil-in-the-white-city-8kme","Devil in the White City","In 1893, Chicago staked its reputation on the World's Columbian Exposition — a fair meant to outshine Paris and announce America's arrival as a global power. Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City tells the story of the men who built it, centered on architect Daniel Burnham, who battled financial setbacks, engineering failures, and the death of his design partner to raise the \"White City\" from a swampy park in barely two years.\n\nRunning alongside that story is a darker one. H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",[893],{"id":894,"slug":895,"name":896},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[898,899,900,901,905,909],{"id":366,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":18},{"id":467,"name":468,"slug":469,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":902,"name":903,"slug":904,"is_fiction":18},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":906,"name":907,"slug":908,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":910,"name":911,"slug":912,"is_fiction":18},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":225,"complexity":10,"audience":120,"mood":915,"themes":916,"setting_period":10,"summary":917,"content_warnings":10},[227,123],[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.
