From the New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series comes this sweeping standalone fantasy romance. A girl with a secret. The boy of her dreams. An ocean between them. Throughout the ages, the Ocean has occasionally rescued young women from drowning. To repay their debt, these young women must serve for 100 years as Sirens, remaining young and beautiful and using their deadly voices to lure strangers into watery graves. To keep their true nature secret, Sirens must never speak to humans, and must be careful never to stay in the same place for too long. But once her century of service is over, each Siren gets a chance to start over - a chance to live the mortal life that was almost stolen from her. Kahlen became a Siren after her family died in a terrible shipwreck, decades ago. And though a single word from her can kill, she can't resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again. Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude...until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring, and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of. And though she can't talk to him, they soon forge a connection neither of them can deny...and Kahlen doesn't want to. Falling in love with a human breaks all of the Ocean's rules, and if the Ocean discovers Kahlen's feelings, she'll be forced to leave Akinli for good. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart.

Negli anni Cinquanta il lavoro cinematografico porta Goliarda Sapienza a Positano, rivelandole un angolo di mondo quasi intatto, popolato da un'umanità con una dolcezza sconosciuta. È la scoperta di una felicità senza aggettivi. La conca protetta dalle montagne e dai silenzi del mare diventa il suo rifugio e risveglia le emozioni del corpo, a lungo inaridite dagli orrori della guerra e dalla frenesia della città. E li, tra l'oro e l'azzurro del mare, in un'atmosfera fuori dal tempo, una figura di donna si muove a passo di danza sulle scalinate del paese. La gente del posto la chiama principessa, ha una bellezza antica, gli occhi che cambiano colore. Quello tra Erica e Goliarda è un incontro felice, immerso in una pace che si avvicina all'ebbrezza: l'inizio di un rapporto che nel corso degli anni si fa sempre più intenso, tra i fantasmi del passato e le ombre imminenti. Conoscersi, svelarsi, cambiare, sono i pilastri di quella vicinanza. Una storia che la memoria non riesce a scolorire e anzi trasforma in romanzo: la rievocazione di un'amicizia perduta e l'affresco di un luogo che non esiste più, ma che rivive grazie a una scrittura sensoriale, vibrante di suggestioni.

Beowulf is the greatest surviving work of literature in Old English, unparalleled in its epic grandeur and scope. It tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, who has laid waste to the great hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, then with Grendel's avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side. And it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in a transient world.
