NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A terrific book…Powerful and persuasive.” —Fareed Zakaria “Spectacular…Offers a comprehensive indictment of the current problems and a clear path forward…Klein and Thompson usher in a mood shift. They inspire hope and enlarge the imagination.” —David Brooks, The New York Times From bestselling authors and journalistic titans Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, Abundance is a once-in-a-generation, paradigm-shifting call to renew a politics of plenty, face up to the failures of liberal governance, and abandon the chosen scarcities that have deformed American life. To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don’t have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven’t built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget—if they are ever finished at all. The crisis that’s clicking into focus now has been building for decades—because we haven’t been building enough. Abundance explains that our problems today are not the results of yesteryear’s villains. Rather, one generation’s solutions have become the next gener­ation’s problems. Rules and regulations designed to solve the problems of the 1970s often prevent urban-density and green-energy projects that would help solve the problems of the 2020s. Laws meant to ensure that government considers the consequences of its actions have made it too difficult for government to act consequentially. In the last few decades, our capacity to see problems has sharpened while our ability to solve them has diminished. Progress requires facing up to the institutions in life that are not working as they need to. It means, for liberals, recognizing when the government is failing. It means, for conservatives, recognizing when the government is needed. In a book exploring how we can move from a liberalism that not only protects and pre­serves but also builds, Klein and Thompson trace the political, economic, and cultural barriers to progress and propose a path toward a politics of abundance. At a time when movements of scarcity are gaining power in country after country, this is an answer that meets the challenges of the moment while grappling honestly with the fury so many rightfully feel.

Die globale Geschichte des 21. Jahrhunderts ist eine Geschichte der Knappheit, ganz gleich, ob es um Wohnungen geht, um Arbeitskräfte, um Technologien oder um saubere Energie. Dabei hat sich die gegenwärtige Krise in den Industriestaaten seit Jahren angebahnt – weil wir eine Politik des Verzichts geübt haben und nicht innovativ genug waren. Ezra Klein und Derek Thompson zeigen, wie wir die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Hindernisse für den Fortschritt überwinden, wie wir Systeme und Institutionen für den Aufbau schaffen und so zu einem neuen Wohlstand gelangen. Ein Wohlstand, der nicht gleichbedeutend ist mit dem Reichtum weniger, sondern mit einer besseren Zukunft für möglichst viele Menschen.

Best friends Calla, Hannah, and Delphine have been dragged to the ends of the earth and back, with the threat of the Fates’ War always looming above them.

Calla has finally found her soulmate, but the mysterious reappearance of an old lover makes her question how to move forward–and whether or not a happy ending is in her reach. And while Delphine has finally fought her way back to her friends, the destruction she left in her wake might have bigger consequences than she expected–for everyone. And Hannah’s past continues to haunt her–but when a long, unrequited love begins to blossom, will the darkness that swirls around her make her love wither on the vine, or will Hannah be strong enough to choose her fate? This thrilling and action-packed conclusion to the A Ruinous Fate series takes readers on a final, epic journey where lives will be lost, loves will be tested, and fates will be decided, forever.

Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize-a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals. Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia’s fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain. Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life. Ophelia knows she shouldn’t trust him. Blackwell doesn’t seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer. Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart… A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Caraval in this seductive fantasy adventure.

Fate does not choose the weak. Fate chooses the ready. Illustros is a cursed realm ruled by the ruthless Gods of Fate, and no one understands the Fates’ wrath more than Calliope Rosewood. Blessed with unspeakable powers that terrify even the most dangerous witches and fae, Calla hides her forbidden magic in shame and fear that one wrong touch could send her to her death. With only her two best friends in tow, Calla deserted her coven and has been on the run ever since. Worse, Calla is concealing an even darker secret: fate has chosen her as the final prophesied Blood Warrior, the being destined to start the Fates’ War, which will decimate her people and eradicate their magic. After a betrayal from her infuriating ex Ezra leads her one step closer to fulfilling that age-old prophecy, Calla is desperate to do whatever it takes to reset her fate. So when a mysterious and charming witch offers to help Calla do just that, she immediately agrees to his plan. Only catch? That plan includes journeying into the deadly Neverending Forest with Ezra and said witch, who just so happens to be Ezra’s tempting older brother. Torn between her past desires and alluring new possibilities, Calla brings along her best friends to fight what lies ahead. As the group ventures into the enchanted woods together, they’ll all soon learn that choosing your destiny comes with dire consequences . . . and the Fates are not to be tested. Calla believes the Fates have it out for her, while others believe they have chosen her for a reason. But in the end, Calla will have to fight to forge her own destiny and decide if the risk of choosing herself is worth the possibility of damning everyone else.

An LGBT romantic comedy with a twist from the Comedy Women in Print prize winner Laura Steven, author of The Exact Opposite of Okay. A hilarious love story with bite, for fans of Sex Education, Booksmart, Becky Albertalli’s Love, Simon and Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Physics genius Caro Kerber-Murphy knows she’s smart. With straight As and a college scholarship already in the bag, she’s meeting her two dads’ colossal expectations and then some. But there’s one test she’s never quite been able to ace: love. And when, in a particularly desperate moment, Caro discovers a (definitely questionable) scientific breakthrough that promises to make you irresistible to everyone around you, she wonders if this could be the key. What happens next will change everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry – in the lab and in love. Is hot guy Haruki with her of his own free will? Are her feelings for her best friend Keiko some sort of side-effect? Will her dog, Sirius, ever stop humping her leg? Laura is the author of fiercely funny feminist comedy The Exact Opposite of Okay and its sequel, A Girl Called Shameless. The Exact Opposite of Okay was a bestselling young adult debut in 2018 and won the inaugural Comedy Women in Print prize, founded by Helen Lederer, from a shortlist including Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims.

“Laura Steven simultaneously destroyed the patriarchy and made me laugh so hard I choked. I will protect Izzy O’Neill with my life.” —Becky Albertalli, author of SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA Bitingly funny and shockingly relevant, The Exact Opposite of Okay is a bold, brave, and necessary read for fans of Louise O’Neill and Jennifer Mathieu. Eighteen-year-old Izzy O’Neill knows exactly who she is—a loyal friend, an aspiring comedian, and a person who believes that milk shakes and Reese’s peanut butter cups are major food groups. But after she’s caught in a compromising position with the son of a politician, it seems like everyone around her is eager to give her a new label: slut. Izzy is certain that the whole thing will blow over and she can get back to worrying about how she doesn’t reciprocate her best friend Danny’s feelings for her and wondering how she is ever going to find a way out of their small town. Only it doesn’t. And while she’s used to laughing her way out of any situation, as she finds herself first the center of high school gossip and then in the middle of a national scandal, it’s hard even for her to find humor in the situation. Izzy may be determined not to let anyone else define who she is, but that proves easier said than done when it seems like everyone has something to say about her.

It’s been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal – and the aftershock is far from over.

This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn. Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering – can they really make a change? For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca C avallo.

Sabe aquelas manhãs em que acordamos, olhamos para o espelho e trememos só de pensar naquilo que nos espera? Num belo dia, Mel Robbins sentiu-se exatamente assim. Mas, ao contrário do que é hábito, e num gesto puramente espontâneo, endireitou-se, olhou para o seu reflexo e deu um enérgico high five a si mesma. Sendo uma influencer com milhões de seguidores, tirou uma fotografia e fez um post. Quando voltou às redes e percebeu que a imagem se tinha tornado viral. Mel Robbins interrogou-se: porque é que aquele post tinha tocado tantas pessoas? Em O Hábito de Fazer High 5 – que na versão áudio é o livro mais ouvido em todo o mundo –, a autora apresenta-nos a pesquisa que fez sobre o assunto. Artigos científicos ou experiências conduzidas em universidades como o MIT corroboravam o que já intuía: a automotivação não chega, é preciso saber como o fazer. Com o tempo, a autora desenvolveu o seu próprio método, que já foi ensinado a mais de meio milhão de pessoas. O método está todo neste livro, onde vamos aprender, finalmente, a dar valor à pessoa mais importante da nossa vida: nós próprios.

Mel Robbins milliók életét változtatta meg a motiváció titkainak bemutatásával Az 5 másodperces szabály című világsikerű könyvében. Most pedig visszatért egy egyszerű, hatékony eszközzel, amit az Adj egy ötöst magadnak című kötetben mutat be, és nem kisebb célt tűzött maga elé, mint hogy segítsen megváltoztatni az életedet! A cím ne tévesszen meg, ez a könyv nem arról szól, hogy lépten-nyomon mindenkivel lepacsizz, hiszen ezt teszed nap mint nap. Drukkolsz a kedvenc csapatodnak, együtt ünnepelsz a barátaiddal, biztatod és támogatod azokat a szeretteidet, akik célokat tűznek ki maguk elé az életben. Képzeld csak el, milyen lenne, ha ugyanilyen szeretettel, bátorítással fordulnál saját magadhoz, ha TE lennél önmagad legnagyobb drukkere, rajongója, szurkolója. Nemcsak elvétve, hanem minden egyes nap. Mel Robbins legújabb könyvében megtanít rá, miként adj ötöst a legfontosabb embernek az életedben, annak a személynek, akit a tükörben látsz: SAJÁT MAGADNAK. • Ha önbecsülési problémákkal küzdesz (és ki ne küzdene?) … • Ha meguntad, amiket az agyadban lakozó kis kritikus hang papol (valaki kergesse már ki onnan!) … • Ha már sikeres vagy, és mégis szüntelenül a dolgok rosszra fordulásán töprengsz (nem vagy egyedül) … • Ha dühítőnek találod, hogy mindenki szépen halad előre, míg te a kanapén ücsörögsz a kutyáddal (bele ne keverjük a kutyádat) … … Akkor ez a könyv bizony Neked szól! Mel Robbins a tőle megszokott könnyed és olvasmányos stílusban, kutatási eredmények, tudományos ismeretek, izgalmas személyes történetek, valamint az „ötös” szokást gyakorlók életében bekövetkezett valós eredmények bemutatása során megtanítja, miként válhat szokásoddá az önmagadba vetett hit, hogy segítségével újra a kezedbe vedd az életedet, elérd céljaidat, mindezt bátrabban, mint valaha. Egyszerű, mégis mély tanítás ez, ami segít megérteni és jobbá tenni életünk legfontosabb kapcsolatát – az önmagunkkal való kapcsolatunkat. Változtass a hozzáállásodon, a gondolkodásodon és a viselkedéseden. Növeld az önbizalmadat, érd el a téged megillető boldogságot és váltsd valóra a legmerészebb álmaidat. Ideje magadnak is megadni azt a bátorítást, ünneplést és támogatást, amire szükséged van, és ami neked is kijár!

It flipped that self-criticism and self-hatred on its head. It changed the lens through which I viewed my life. That was the beginning of a massive shift in my life. A line in the sand. The beginning of a brand-new connection to the most important person in my life—myself. A new way of thinking about myself and about what was possible for me. It inspired me to create an entirely new way of experiencing life. That’s why I wrote this book. It’s time to cheer for YOU.” Love, Mel Robbins Using her signature science-backed wisdom, deeply personal stories, and the real-life results that The High 5 Habit is creating in people”s lives around the world, Mel will teach you how to make believing in yourself a habit so that you have more confidence, transform your mindset, and achieve your dreams.

Comece a contar 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… e mude a sua vida. Já pensou naqueles momentos em que tem de sair da cama mas não consegue e desliga o despertador vezes sem conta? Ou lembra-se de quando era criança e não tinha a coragem de levantar a mão nas aulas e dizer: Eu sei! Eu sei! Mel Robbins, estrela da CNN e uma das coachs mais conhecidas do mundo (o seu vídeo no TEDx tem mais de 12 milhões de visitas), passou por tudo isso. Aos 39 anos, estava desempregada, o negócio do marido tinha falido, o casal acumulava dívidas e discussões e ela bebia cada vez mais. Até que um dia, ao ver na televisão a contagem decrescente antes do lançamento de um foguetão, descobriu a solução mágica para os seus problemas: A Regra dos 5 Segundos.No início, usou-a por uma questão de pura sobrevivência – a sua vida estava um absoluto caos. Mas à medida que começou a incorporar a regra, os resultados começaram a aparecer. Conseguiu um bom emprego, reconciliou‑se com o marido (com quem vive há quase vinte anos) e começou a espalhar a sua magia pelo mundo, “magia” essa que, afinal, é sustentada pela neurociência. A regra, como ficou provado cientificamente, é uma forma de metacognição. Quando a usamos, é como se metêssemos as “mudanças mentais” em rápida sequência e acabássemos com a mania de pensar demais antes de agir. São precisos apenas cinco segundos: para recuperar a autoconfiança, para deixar de duvidar de si, para vencer o medo e a insegurança, para deixar de se preocupar e começar a viver.

This hands-on guide from Mel Robbins, one of America’s top relationship experts and radio/tv personalities, addresses why over 100 million Americans secretly feel frustrated and bored with their lives and reveals what you can do about it. Mel Robbins has spent her career teaching people how to push past their self-imposed limits to get what they truly desire. She has an in-depth understanding of the psychological and social factors that repeatedly hold you back, and more important, a unique set of tools for getting you where you want to be. In Stop Saying You’re Fine, she draws on neuroscientific research, interviews with countless everyday people, and ideas she’s tested in her own life to show what works and what doesn’t. The key, she explains, is understanding how your own brain works against you. Because evolution has biased your mental gears against taking action, what you need are techniques to outsmart yourself. That may sound impossible, but Mel has created a remarkably effective method to help you do just that–and some of her discoveries will astonish you. By ignoring how you feel and seizing small moments of rich possibility–a process she calls “leaning in”–you can make tiny course directions add up to huge change. Among this book’s other topics: how everything can depend on not hitting the “snooze” button; the science of connecting with other people, what children can teach us about getting things done; and why five seconds is the maximum time you should wait before acting on a great idea. Blending warmth, humor and unflinching honesty with up-to-the-minute science and hard-earned wisdom, Stop Saying You’re Fine moves beyond the platitudes and easy fixes offered in many self-help books. Mel’s insights will actually help vault you to a better life, ensuring that the next time someone asks how you’re doing, you can truthfully answer, “Absolutely great.”

Witzig, wortgewandt und mit einer geballten Ladung Girlpower: Laura Stevens feministischer Roman um drei Freundinnen, einen coolen Diner und einen frechen, bissigen Blog gegen Sexismus und Diskriminierung Seit Izzy OʼNeil sich erfolgreich gegen einen sexistischen Shitstorm gewehrt hat, läuft es richtig gut für die 18-Jährige. Mit ihren besten Freundinnen Ajita und Meg trifft sie sich regelmäßig in ihrem Lieblings-Diner, um die Themen für ihren gemeinsamen Blog »Bitches Bite Back« zu besprechen. Wenn es um Nachos, Flachwitze und Feminismus geht, sind die Freundinnen ganz auf einer Wellenlänge. Dank ihrer frechen und treffsicheren Beiträge gegen sexistische Hassreden im Netz ist ihr Blog kurz davor, die 10k-Follower-Grenze zu knacken – das ist toll, reicht aber noch lange nicht, um in Sachen Gleichbehandlung für Frauen endgültig etwas zu ändern. Also organisieren Izzy, Ajita und Meg eine öffentlichkeitswirksame Demo. Dass sie das beschauliche Edgewood in Florida damit gehörig aufmischen, kann den Freundinnen nur recht sein! Izzy O’Neil, die Heldin aus »Speak up«, hält noch lange nicht die Klappe: Laura Stevens Roman »Bitches Bite Back« ist ebenso humorvoll wie gesellschaftskritisch und setzt ein klares Zeichen für einen jungen, frischen, frechen Feminismus. »Satz für Satz, Seite für Seite bringt die junge Autorin die Leserschaft mit der cleveren und vor Frauenpower nur so strotzenden Protagonistin Izzy OʼNeil zum Lachen.« Hessische Niedersächsische Allgemeine über »Speak up«

A hilarious love story with bite, for fans of Sex Education, Booksmart, Becky Albertalli’s Love, Simon and Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Physics genius Caro Kerber-Murphy knows she’s smart. With straight As and a college scholarship already in the bag, she’s meeting her two dads’ colossal expectations and then some. But there’s one test she’s never quite been able to ace: love. And when, in a particularly desperate moment, Caro discovers a (definitely questionable) scientific breakthrough that promises to make you irresistible to everyone around you, she wonders if this could be the key. What happens next will change everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry – in the lab and in love. Is hot guy Haruki with her of his own free will? Are her feelings for her best friend Keiko some sort of side-effect? Will her dog, Sirius, ever stop humping her leg? Laura is the author of fiercely funny feminist comedy The Exact Opposite of Okay and its sequel, A Girl Called Shameless. The Exact Opposite of Okay was a bestselling young adult debut in 2018 and won the inaugural Comedy Women in Print prize, founded by Helen Lederer, from a shortlist including Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims.

Witzig, geistreich, feministisch – »Speak Up« ist laut, frech und von höchster Relevanz. Pointiert und unverblümt trifft Laura Steven in ihrem Debütroman den Ton der Zeit und thematisiert typische 21st Century-Themen wie die Friend-Zone und Slut-shaming. Izzy O’Neill weiß genau, wer sie ist – eine loyale Freundin, Nachwuchs-Komödiantin und Milchshakes und Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups zählen für sie als Grundnahrungsmittel. Doch seitdem Fotos durch das Internet kursieren, die sie nachts auf einer Parkbank bei einer mehr als eindeutigen Handlung mit dem Sohn eines bekannten Lokalpolitikers zeigen, gilt Izzy bei den meisten nur noch als Schlampe. Und dieses Aufsehen legt sich leider nicht von selbst, wie Izzy ursprünglich vermutet hatte. Im Gegenteil! Plötzlich sieht sie sich nicht nur im Zentrum eines viralen Highschool-Shitstorms, es ufert aus zu einem nationalen Skandal. Statt sich über ihre Gefühle gegenüber ihrem besten Freund Danny klar werden zu können und ihren Plan zu schmieden, wie sie es schnellstmöglich schaffen soll, endlich aus der amerikanischen Kleinstadt zu entkommen, fehlt selbst der schlagfertigen Izzy der gewohnte Sinn für Humor. Sie ist fest entschlossen, zu verhindern, dass andere darüber bestimmen können, wer oder was sie ist. Doch das ist leichter gesagt als getan, wenn alle um sie herum etwas über sie zu reden haben. Für die Fans von Booksmart (2019) und der Netflix-Erfolgsserie Sex Education, »The Hate U Give« von Angie Thomas, »Love, Simon« von Becky Albertalli und »Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls« von Elena Favilli und Francesca Cavallo. »Ich LIEBE dieses Buch!

“Laura Steven simultaneously destroyed the patriarchy and made me laugh so hard I choked. I will protect Izzy O’Neill with my life.” —Becky Albertalli, author of SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA Bitingly funny and shockingly relevant, The Exact Opposite of Okay is a bold, brave, and necessary read for fans of Louise O’Neill and Jennifer Mathieu. Eighteen-year-old Izzy O’Neill knows exactly who she is—a loyal friend, an aspiring comedian, and a person who believes that milk shakes and Reese’s peanut butter cups are major food groups. But after she’s caught in a compromising position with the son of a politician, it seems like everyone around her is eager to give her a new label: slut. Izzy is certain that the whole thing will blow over and she can get back to worrying about how she doesn’t reciprocate her best friend Danny’s feelings for her and wondering how she is ever going to find a way out of their small town. Only it doesn’t. And while she’s used to laughing her way out of any situation, as she finds herself first the center of high school gossip and then in the middle of a national scandal, it’s hard even for her to find humor in the situation. Izzy may be determined not to let anyone else define who she is, but that proves easier said than done when it seems like everyone has something to say about her.

Funnier. Ruder. Angrier. Izzy O’Neill is back in the hilarious sequel to The Exact Opposite of Okay. It’s been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal – and the aftershock is far from over. The Bitches Bite Back movement is gathering momentum as a forum for teenage feminists, and when a girl at another school has a sex tape shared online, once again Izzy leads the charge against the slut-shamers. This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn. Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering – can they really make a change? For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca C avallo.

Izzy O’Neill hier! Straatarme wees, ambitieuze cabaretier en Ongelooflijke Slet, als je de roddelsites tenminste mag geloven… Izzy had nooit verwacht dat ze op haar achttiende het slachtoffer zou zijn van een internationaal online schandaal.

Tracy Deonn’s #1 New York Times bestselling Legendborn Cycle continues in the sensational third book about a dazzling contemporary fantasy world that blends Southern Black Girl Magic with secret societies and the legend of King Arthur! Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster. Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe. But Bree’s decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow King’s hands—and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé. Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order’s Merlins, he invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them…or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table. As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller! Winner of the Coretta Scott King – John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy reinvents the King Arthur legend and “braids together Southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power, and self-discovery” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles). After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw. The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates. She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.

A pioneering researcher and one of the world’s foremost experts on traumatic stress offers a bold new paradigm for healing Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Such experiences inevitably leave traces on minds, emotions, and even on biology. Sadly, trauma sufferers frequently pass on their stress to their partners and children. Renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim lives.
