What if the person that you had been dreaming of since you were a child was real? Kylaya and Jett have been dreaming of each other since they were children. Never believing that the other truly existed, they forged their way in their own separate worlds; unaware that the other was closer than they realized. Kylaya, heir to the throne of the underwater kingdom of Triton, has been tossed into her leadership role much earlier than expected. When her father falls ill, it is left to her to lead her people and keep them safe from the threat of the Sirens - a deadly race of mutated Mer. She discovers just how dangerous her job is when she finds herself at the mercy of a Siren; which is almost as scary as her engagement to a man she could never fall in love with. Jett has lived his life on the prairies at the heart of the grain belt in Saskatchewan all his life. He found his calling upholding his people's laws and protecting them. Highly skilled and deadly at his job, Jett is one of his people's most prominent citizens. But when he sees a young, beautiful Mer attacked by a Siren, he throws away the reputation he has worked hard for by disobeying his people's first law - never make contact with the Mer - and saves her. KyLaya and Jett are brought together in the most unlikely of situations, forced to face each other and the feelings that have been growing between them for years. Will their love for each other survive the prejudice that they were raised with? Will they be able to see each other for who they are, not what they are before an ancient power destroys them both? The gods seek them. Evil searches for them. For, KyLaya is a Mer and Jett is a Sirenite. A Siren's son.

Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she's a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Syrena law states all Half-Breeds should be put to death. As if that's not bad enough, her mother's reappearance in the Syrena world turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen's request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she's never known? Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen's points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.

Now in paperback, Inventing the Child is a highly entertaining, humorous, and at times acerbic account of what it means to be a child (and a parent) in America at the dawn of the new millennium. J. Zornado explores the history and development of the concept of childhood, starting with the works of Calvin, Freud, and Rousseau and culminating with the modern 'consumer' childhood of Dr. Spock and television. The volume discusses major media depictions of childhood and examines the ways in which parents use different forms of media to swaddle, educate, and entertain their children. Zornado argues that the stories we tell our children contain the ideologies of the dominant culture - which, more often than not, promote 'happiness' at all costs, materialism as the way to happiness, and above all, obedience to the dominant order.

The long-awaited conclusion to The Rising Series. For two thousand years, a betrayer has occupied the throne on Olympus. Hungry for power, he has wreaked havoc among the gods, as well as the humans on earth. But a spark of hope ignites in the form of four young women—ones who are destined to free the true king and save the human world. Two have been found, and the others must be located before it's too late. Drakōn would love nothing more than to turn his back on the whole thing. It's not that he doesn't care about humans, but he has his own world to worry about. But then, he is given an impossible task—one he finds himself unable to refuse. He is charged with protecting a woman, but not just any woman—Tana, goddess of wind and fire. Tana is more than he bargains for. Sentenced to an eternity of imprisonment for burning hundreds to death in a fiery inferno, she has powerful enemies. Drakōn finds himself facing off with those adversaries even as he questions why he doesn't simply destroy her himself. But Tana is one of four destined to save the world. That is, if she doesn't destroy it first. And Drakōn? He may just lose his most guarded possession. His heart.

This book traces the historical roots of Western culture's stories of childhood in which the child is subjugated to the adult. Going back 400 years, it looks again at Hamlet, fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, and Walt Disney cartoons. Inventing the Child is a highly entertaining, humorous, and at times acerbic account of what it means to be a child (and a parent) in America at the dawn of the new millennium. John Zornado explores the history and development of the concept of childhood, starting with the works of Calvin, Freud, and Rousseau and culminating with the modern "consumer" childhood of Dr. Spock and television. The volume discusses major media depictions of childhood and examines the ways in which parents use different forms of media to swaddle, educate, and entertain their children.
