As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was laying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his domelike brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes. With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first opening, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing - though absurdly comic - meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W. H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man." Also contains other stories by Franz Kafka.

In a coastal town where foreign ships crowd the horizon and whispers of war drift through the rain, Aiko Maren has spent her entire life existing between worlds. Born to a Japanese innkeeper and a Caribbean sailor who vanished years ago, she is a woman the town refuses to fully accept-too foreign for some, too Japanese for others. The pale blossoms of vitiligo scattered across her skin only deepen the rumors that follow her through the lantern-lit streets. Working as a translator at her family's seaside inn, Aiko survives by making herself useful, her voice carrying effortlessly between languages, merchants, and secrets. But when smuggling investigations bring Lieutenant Ren Takeda to the harbor, her carefully balanced life begins to unravel. Cold, disciplined, and fiercely loyal to the shogunate, Ren initially sees her as another possible link to the growing unrest infecting the port. Yet the more their paths cross beneath storm-dark skies and flickering dockside lanterns, the more he finds himself drawn to the woman everyone else keeps at a distance. As anti-foreign tensions rise and dangerous conspiracies tighten around the harbor, Aiko becomes a target-not only for what she knows, but for what she represents. And Ren is forced to choose between the rigid duty he has sworn his life to... and the woman who has quietly become the heart he cannot betray.

But when a mysterious voice begins calling to her from the woods-and she discovers it belongs to the Dark Prince of the enemy kingdom-Ari's quiet, miserable life begins to change in ways she never imagined.

But as she grew older, the fear disappeared... until strange things started happening again. Every night at exactly 3:13 AM, Dara wakes up. Whispers in the dark. Scratching beneath her bed.
