Magic\, adventure\, romance\, and horror collide in this lush\, epic\, Ancient Egyptian inspired trilogy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo\, Tahereh Mafi\, and Sabaa Tahir. \nFresh to the throne\, the cunning new pharaoh schemes to bring unprecedented power to the Kingdom of Khetara. He commands absolute allegiance\, leaving bloodshed in his wake as he searches for the missing Princess Sitamun\, and at his side\, the young priestess Nefermaat serves as divine counsel. Having witnessed the king’s merciless acts\, Neff furtively plots to free the kingdom from his grip\, though she knows the heavy price of treason. \nMeanwhile\, the rebellion in Low Khetara grows\, and Raetawy\, a courageous farm girl\, leads the resistance. Her quest is clear: infiltrate the capital and free the imprisoned rebels—including her beloved father. Yet in her desperation\, Rae agrees to a plan that could destroy all she is fighting for…. \nIn the Red Lands\, the thief Karim grapples with the new life he’s been given. Is it a blessing or a curse? He fears what lurks within him\, yet he and his unlikely companion\, Princess Sita\, grow ever closer as they search for a lost city believed to harbor the secret to saving Khetara from destruction. \nThe ancient oracle that once whispered to these four strangers now speaks with an urgency as powerful as the mighty Iteru. The current of destiny is strengthening\, but will it bring redemption…or annihilation? \nAbout the author: Michelle Jabès Corpora is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of His Face is the Sun\, the first novel in the Throne of Khetara trilogy.

SUMMARY:Laura Zigman: The Author Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Join Curious Iguana on Thursday\, May 28 at Frederick Book Arts Center from 6:00-7:00 pm for an exciting event with author Laura Zigman to celebrate her latest release\, The Author Weekend. This fresh murder mystery focuses on Faye Wader\, an author hosting a weekend retreat on a secluded island for her most loyal fans; what could go wrong? Laura will discuss her novel\, then answer questions and sign books. Copies of The Author Weekend will be available for purchase at the event.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. For accessibility requests\, email info@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: The Devil Wears Prada meets White Lotus in a story of colliding egos and shocking betrayal\, as intoxicatingly ice-cold as the pink Prosecco that flows all weekend. \nEverything needs to be just right for bestselling mystery writer Faye Wader’s first ever fan weekend. Her sales might be slipping—only a little!—but her readers still love her enough to pony up for three days and two nights on Great Misery Island. The retreat is precisely planned\, from the small batch artisanal donuts to the perimenopausal Mermaid Meditation\, by Faye and her beleaguered assistant Jade—an aspiring author who can’t seem to finish her own novel. \nFaye’s long-time agent and editor will be there\, as well as Faye’s number one fan\, Peggy Mercer\, who has been first in line at every one of Faye’s events. When news comes that the weekend will be crashed by glamorous\, charismatic\, rival novelist Abby Schuss\, Faye thinks things can’t get worse … until one of the attendees is found dead in her room\, setting off an unexpectedly murderous chain of events that make pre-pub anxiety seem like a day at the beach. How far is Faye willing to go to get exactly what she wants from her author weekend? \nThe Author Weekend is a thrilling and hilarious dive into the dark heart of envy\, and a glorious exploration of a woman of a certain age desperate to survive the dog-eat-dog world of publishing and control her own narrative. \nAbout the author: Laura Zigman is the author of Small World (a New York Times Group Text pick and Editor’s Choice)\, Separation Anxiety\, Animal Husbandry (which was made into the movie “Someone Like You\,” starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd)\, Dating Big Bird\, Her\, and Piece of Work. She has collaborated on several works of non-fiction–including Eddie Izzard’s New York Times bestseller\, Believe Me–and has been a contributor to the New York Times and other publications. She lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts.
