What would you give up to dive into your favourite story? Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all. For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device. By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet! As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions. The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur. ⚠️ Content and/or trigger warning ⚠️ This story contains one scene of (unsuccessful) sexual coercion, and mentions domestic violence and death by domestic violence, which may be triggering for some readers. 📖 Featured 19 times!

2019 WATTY WINNER FOR HISTORICAL FICTION. Charity loves Ian. Ian thinks Charity is an incorrigible flirt and he is certainly not tempted. Not one bit! Or at least that's what he tells himself... Bright, optimistic, and a bit naïve, Charity Crewe has always been in love with Ian Douglass. And it would certainly help if he loved her back... just a little bit! Though Ian was raised on the estate and generously given lessons with the Crewe siblings, no one, especially Ian, has ever forgotten he is the housekeeper's son. Charity might not care what anyone thinks of her, but Ian certainly does, so he is determined to protect her reputation as well as his own. He's worked too hard to secure his position to risk his livelihood, not to mention his mother's. He has discouraged her affections at every turn... with only a few moments of weakness. However, while Charity is away gaining some polish, circumstances drastically change and Charity must decide if she is willing to risk everything, even complete and utter ruin, in pursuit of the man she loves. Authors notes: This is Book One of The Crewe Legacy, a four-book series in progress, involving the Crewe siblings and other characters you'll meet along the way. I hope you enjoy Ian and Charity's story and that everyone else intrigues you! CONTENT WARNING: this story contains some mature sexual content, descriptions of spousal abuse, child abuse, murder, and suicide.

However, he is battling a mental illness that he just can't seem to get rid of. After being diagnosed with BDD-Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Jack begins to fall into a sense of depression. His mind begins to play tricks on him, making him believe that his outer appearance is grotesque and needs to be hidden from the world. He's lost nearly all self-esteem, making it very difficult for him to find his lovely princess, and live a "normal" life; that and the fact that he never leaves his humble mansion...EVER. He's been turned down repeatedly in the past from true beauties, such as, Rapunzel, Snow White, and the one and only, Cinderella; even her ugly step-sisters wouldn't give him a chance. As time passed, his numerous experiences with rejection, his undying fear, and heart-breaking memories made his life seem hopeless, pressuring him to do desperate things. Jack later decides to seek out a way to alter his appearance. He stumbles onto what seems to be the prayer he's been asking for but he accidentally finds it in the wrong place leading him to an evil-minded con-artist. To beat all odds, Jack must face his illness head-on and overcome it before his life is left with nothing but pain, negativity, and regret. Original cover design by: @zuko_42 Art of Zuko

Czas to niebezpieczna rzecz, zwłaszcza w niepowołanych rękach. A ręce Raven wydają się wyjątkowo problematyczne. Wyszkolona do eliminowania zabójczych Plag nigdy nie potrafiła okiełznać własnego temperamentu. Jeden nieumyślny zakład wikła ją w niebezpieczną intrygę, a to jeszcze nie koniec złych wiadomości. Wraz z nią w aferę zamieszany jest Władca Cieni, którego zamiary pozostają dla Raven zagadką. Wśród politycznych gier, paskudnych Plag i zawziętej cesarzowej niejeden straciłby głowę. Na całe szczęście Raven dzierży najpotężniejszą z broni - zesłanego przez gwiazdy pecha oraz własną lekkomyślność. "Brawurowo poprowadzona historia, w której znajdziecie wszystko to, co w młodzieżowej fantastyce najlepsze: wyraziste postacie, wciągające intrygi i dużo mrocznej magii! Raven z bractwa Rai i ścigający ją, tajemniczy Władca Cieni, generał Nathaniel, zmierzą się w pojedynku, w którym z ostrością ich języków mogą równać się jedynie ostrza ich mieczy." Maria Zdybska, autorka serii "Krucze Serce" "Debiut Agnieszki Zawadki jest wszystkim tym, czego szukam w fantastyce młodzieżowej. „Wyklęci: Era Cieni" to nie tylko wyraziści bohaterowie, ale także świetnie poprowadzona intryga i świat, który został naprawdę bardzo dobrze wykreowany. Gorąco polecam!" Ewelina Nawara, autorka serii Kings of Sin oraz powieści "Nieosiągalny"
