The key to being yourself is to embrace what you are. But how can you do that when the world hunts the very thing that you are, that you identify as? In the land of kingdom Leith, there are a few in society who are different, who don't quite fit in. Citizens have been calling them The Gifted Ones, people blessed with magic, blessed with a special gift. Magicians who are a threat to the Crown, a threat to the citizens, or so the Queen says. So they get killed on the spot, driven into a corner and slaughtered like animals. But to the Gifted Ones themselves, their magic isn't a blessing. They are forced to live with constant anxiety, with constant fear to be caught. They don't show themselves often in public, they don't make their voices be heard. Until one day. A girl who thieves for a living, gifted with ShapeShifting powers meets a cocky, optimistic Empath boy. They meet by faith, their future intertwined. Together they decide to fight for their freedom, to escape their miserable lives of uncertainty and fear. Will they succeed in escaping? Will they finally get the freedom they both dreamed of?

O conflito armado entre as nações e o modo como isso afeta a vida de seus habitantes- esse é o tema, tristemente atual, de Guerra e paz. Estamos em 1805. Napoleão planeja ampliar seus domínios e, com um exército composto de 675 mil homens de quase vinte nacionalidades diferentes, inicia sua marcha em direção à Rússia. Mas a guerra está apenas começando. Tolstói mostra o conflito de um ponto de vista inusitado, descrevendo o dia a dia das tropas e apontando como as vitórias e derrotas acontecem, muitas vezes, por mero acaso. Os bastidores do poder, o jogo da política, as intrigas da corte, as tramas da sociedade são desvendadas em linguagem sutil e irônica que esta adaptação busca preservar, permitindo ao leitor um primeiro contato proveitoso com um dos mais importantes clássicos da literatura.

(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.
