Sinda is sent to live with her only surviving relative, an aunt who is a dyer in a distant village. She is a cold, scornful woman with little patience for her newfound niece, and Sinda proves inept at even the simplest tasks.  But when Sinda discovers that magic runs through her veins - long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she must learn to control - she realizes that she can never learn to be a simple village girl. Returning to Vivaskari for answers, Sinda finds her purpose as a wizard scribe, rediscovers the boy who saw her all along, and uncovers a secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history, forever. A dazzling first novel, The False Princess is an engrossing fantasy full of mystery, action, and romance.

	The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure by: William Goldman publisher: Harcourt, published: 2007-10-08 ASIN: 0156035219 sales rank: 3093 price: $3.24 (new), $2.55 (used)	William Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless.   Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that's home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”
	Second-Hand Princess by: Lorraine J. Anderson published: 2011-08-13 ASIN: B005HAY94Q	All a princess wants is to be rescued by her prince -- isn't it? Perhaps staying with her dragon wasn't such a bad idea after all...
	The Princess and the Goblin (Looking Glass Library) by: George MacDonald publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers, published: 2010-01-26 ASIN: 0375863389 sales rank: 71898 price: $2.25 (new), $2.26 (used)	One of the most successful and beloved of Victorian fairy tales, George Macdonald’s The Princess and the Goblin tells the story of young Princess Irene and her friend Curdie, who must outwit the threatening goblins who live in caves beneath her mountain home. Macdonald’s pioneering use of fanstasy as a literary medium had a great influence on Lewis Carroll, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L’Engle, all great admirers of his work, which has remained popular to this day. "I write, not for children," he wrote, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." This edition includes illustrations by Arthur Hughes.
	Blood Princesses of the Vampires (Dying of the Dark #3) by: Aiden James publisher: Aiden James Fiction, published: 2011-12-11 ASIN: B006KZ0ZOU sales rank: 26350	What happens when a flammable torch is thrown into a highly volatile situation? Welcome to Txema Ybarra’s continued misadventure. In this third installment, the world’s last civilized vampire kingdom brings Txema and her infant daughter, Alaia, to the remote Tien Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. Seeking refuge and a lasting deterrent against Ralu and Huangtian Dadi’s dragon assassins, Racco and Gustav plan to recreate ancient amulets to protect mother and daughter from attack. Based on the only formula that can effectively kill any vampire, this one-of-a-kind protection currently belongs to just one person. Marissa St. Germaine, Txema’s beautiful half-human/half-immortal cousin, and the offspring of Chanson and Racco. At first glance, the prospect of cloning the amulet sounds easy enough. Except, Marissa—who is nearly the image physically of both Chanson and Txema—is in no mood to be so charitable. Held as a prisoner against her will for nearly three hundred years, she is anxious for freedom. Freedom from the fortress she’s been sheltered within, freedom from her protected blood status, and especially freedom from her estranged father, Racco. The stakes have never been higher for Txema, and the race is on to heal ancient familial wounds between daughter and father. However, time is running out. Ralu and Huangtian Dadi are closing in on this latest stronghold. In the end, Txema, or someone very dear to her must make the ultimate sacrifice…. A sacrifice that is necessary for Les Amantes de Vampire’s sacred bloodline to survive. Acclaim for the novels of Aiden James: “The intense writing style of Aiden James kept my eyes glued to the story and the pages seemed to fly by at warp speed. …Twists, turns, and surprises pop up at random times to keep the reader off balance. It all blends together to create one of the best stories I have read all year.” —Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for “The Devil’s Paradise” “Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one.” —Bookfinds review for “The Forgotten Eden” “Not only is Aiden James a storyteller par excellence, but his material for his story is riveting.” —Huntress Reviews for “The Forgotten Eden” “The hook to this excellent suspense thriller is the twists that will keep readers wondering what is going on as nothing is quite what it seems. Adding to the excitement is that the audience will wonder whether the terror is an evil supernatural creature or an amoral human…Aiden James provides a dark thriller that grips fans from the opening.” —Harriet Klausner for “The Forgotten Eden” “Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that “Cades Cove” snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit’s interaction became prevalent with the family… The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae’s (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we’ve seen before in horror and ghost tales.” —Evelyn Klebert, author of “A Ghost of a Chance” and “Dragonflies” “Aiden James has a keen eye for detail and an uncanny knack for scaring the hell out of me. We are watching a master at work. “The Raven Mocker” is a nearly perfect thriller. Ghost stories don't get any better than this.” —J.R. Rain, Bestselling author of the “Vampire for Hire” series “As with the previous titles I have read by this author, I found the author's writing style to be silky smooth and the main plot line to be extremely creative. The fertile imagination of Aiden James definitely knows what today's readers want to see in their stories.” —Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for “The Vampires’ Last Lover”

After crashing their escape dirigible, Agatha and Krosp fall in with Master Payne's Circus of Adventure, a traveling troupe of performers dedicated to staging Heterodyne shows-dramatizations of the exploits of Bill and Barry Heterodyne and their allies-who are unaware of Agatha's connection to the Heterodyne line. Pursued by the ruthless Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, his handsome son Gil, and their minions (not to mention Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer), Agatha hides in plain sight among the circus folk, servicing their clanks and proving herself adept in performing the role of Lucrezia Mongfish, nemesis to-and later wife of-Bill Heterodyne. She also begins training under Zeetha, swordmistress and princess of the lost city of Skifander. Together, Agatha, Krosp, and the performers travel across the treacherous wasteland of war-torn Europa, towards Mechanicsburg, and the ancestral home of the Heterodynes-Castle Heterodyne. But with many perils standing in her way-including Wulfenbach's crack troops, mysterious Geisterdamen, savage Jagermonsters, and the fabled Storm King-it's going to take more than a spark of Mad Science for Agatha to get through... From Phil and Kaja Foglio, creators of the multiple WCCA and Hugo Award-winning webcomic Girl Genius, comes Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess, a gaslamp fantasy filled to bursting with Adventure! Romance! And Mad Science!
	Princess Valerie's War (The Tanith Series) by: Terry Mancour publisher: Terry Mancour, published: 2011-07-25 ASIN: B005EMUVQC sales rank: 60990	The Second Space Viking Sequel! Escape From Planet X! When Prince Lucas Trask of Tanith and seventy of his crew were captured by the Atonians, one of the “civilized” worlds of the Old Federation, things seemed bleak: he was tried in a secret court, paraded before the cameras for propaganda, and sentenced to “re-education” at the dreary secret prison known only as Planet X for the crime of being a Space Viking. Using interstellar space ships, high-tech combat troops and nuclear weapons to extort planets of their wealth (the Space Viking’s stock-in-trade) is frowned upon by the corrupt dictatorial bureaucracy of Aton – and Trask is in the way of their imperial aspirations, to boot. Once on Planet X, however, it becomes clear that Aton is involved in something far more sinister – a conspiricy going all the way to the distant Sword Worlds, five thousand light-years away! Lucas and his men discover clues to plots and conspiracies over a century old inside an ancient wreck on Planet X – could they also lead to a way to escape the miserable prison world? Meanwhile, back on Tanith, Lucas’ beautiful wife Princess Valerie is on the trail of Garvan Spasso, an old adversary who has tried and failed to kill the Trasks in the past – and succeeded in kidnapping their infant daughter, Princess Elaine. The beleaguered Valerie has ordered every resource at her command to find her daughter and punish her kidnapper, but Spasso’s ransom for the infant Heir is no less than the throne of Tanith, itself! Princess Valerie has her allies: Admiral Harkaman, Count Valkanhayn, her fanatical Golden Hand guardsmen, and an embarrassing number of captured warships and enthusiastic Space Vikings. She also has the help of the mysterious Mr. Dawes, a very helpful emissary from the enigmatic figured known as the Wizard, whose reasons for helping Tanith are a mystery – and not necessarily a pleasant one. But she’ll need all the help she can get, with her charismatic husband lost among the stars. Tanith has plenty of enemies: the rival Space Viking world of Xochitl, the Sword Worlds of Gram and Haulteclere, and of course the despicable Space Viking turned would-be usurper Garvan Spasso. With her husband missing, her daughter gone, and her nobles grumbling about the state of the Realm, the former schoolteacher from civilized Marduk suddenly has to learn the difference between a reigning princess consort and a ruling monarch of a Space Viking planet in a time of war – Princess Valerie’s War!
