Odessa, 1941. Mila è abituata a lottare. Rimasta sola con un figlio da crescere, non ha rinunciato alle sue aspirazioni, lavorando di giorno e studiando di notte. E, quando decide di arruolarsi nell'esercito per difendere la patria dall'invasione tedesca, è pronta anche a fronteggiare la diffidenza e il disprezzo degli ufficiali, contrari alla presenza di una donna nelle loro file. E farà ricredere tutti… Washington, 27 agosto 1942. Una ragazza minuta, coi capelli castani e profondi occhi scuri. A vederla così, sembra impossibile che sia lei la famosa Mila Pavličenko, la donna di cui scrivono i giornali, la cecchina che avrebbe ucciso più di trecento nazisti e che adesso viene accolta alla Casa Bianca dalla First Lady. L'uomo che la osserva tra la folla, però, la conosce benissimo. Sa che è un'avversaria da non sottovalutare, perché Mila ha dimostrato sul campo di cosa è capace. Da giorni la segue come un'ombra e tutto sta andando secondo i piani: è su di lei che ricadrà la colpa dell'omicidio del presidente Roosevelt… Ispirandosi alla vera storia di Ljudmila Pavličenko, Kate Quinn dipinge il ritratto di una donna eccezionale, di una madre pronta a sacrificarsi pur di garantire un futuro migliore al figlio, di un'eroina silenziosa che grazie al suo coraggio ha cambiato il corso della Storia.

La guerra è finita. Ma per lei è appena iniziata. Perché ci sono crimini che non possono essere dimenticati.«Un romanzo storico avvincente e ben documentato» – Kirkus Reviews«Una straordinaria storia di riscatto e vendetta. L'autrice è maestra nel mostrare come i personaggi reagiscono alle avversità e cosa sono disposti a sacrificare pur di ottenere giustizia» – Publishers Weekly«Un romanzo con protagoniste fuori dal comune, che affrontano difficoltà incredibili con grazia, grinta e tenacia» – The Washington PostLa chiamano die Jägerin, «la Cacciatrice», la più spietata assassina del Reich. Nessuno conosce il suo vero nome e chiunque l'abbia incontrata non è sopravvissuto per raccontarlo. Tranne Nina. Soldato speciale dell'esercito sovietico, Nina è riuscita a sfuggirle, ma non ha mai dimenticato ciò che ha perso quella notte. Da allora, non ha fatto altro che scappare. Ora però le cose sono cambiate. Ora che la guerra è finita, la Cacciatrice è diventata preda e, ben presto, Nina avrà la sua vendetta... Non è stato facile per Jordan accettare che suo padre si risposasse, per di più con una vedova di guerra, sbarcata negli Stati Uniti dalla Germania senza denaro né documenti. Eppure, adesso che il gran giorno è arrivato, è felice che quella donna premurosa e sensibile sia entrata nella loro vita. Ma, mentre ammira il bouquet, Jordan si accorge di un dettaglio stonato, nascosto tra i fiori: una Croce di Ferro, una delle più alte onorificenze conferite dal regime nazista. Sebbene accetti la spiegazione che quell'oggetto sia semplicemente un ricordo del defunto padre, una voce dentro di lei le suggerisce che la dolce Anneliese potrebbe non essere affatto chi dice di essere. E, nel momento in cui viene contattata da un gruppo di cacciatori di nazisti, da anni alla ricerca della famigerata Jägerin, Jordan capisce di non poter continuare a vivere tormentata dai dubbi. Deve scoprire la verità. E così, nonostante le differenze, lei e Nina si troveranno a lavorare insieme, accomunate dalla stessa determinazione e dalla stessa sete di giustizia. Se per Nina questa sarà l'occasione per chiudere i conti con un passato forgiato nel sangue e nella paura, per Jordan significherà imparare a lottare per un mondo più giusto, anche a costo della felicità delle persone che ama. Perché esistono crimini che non possono essere dimenticati. Mai.

Due donne. Due spie. Un solo destino.\r\n\r\n«Questa storia dal ritmo serrato offre protagoniste intrepide, antagonisti che sarete felici di odiare e colpi di scena indimenticabili. Tra eventi realmente accaduti, mistero e avventura, \"Fiori dalla cenere\" è un grande romanzo che ha qualcosa da offrire a qualsiasi lettore» - Library Journal\r\n«Gli uomini muoiono al fronte, ma anche noi donne combattiamo. Raccogliamo informazioni, trasmettiamo messaggi, rischiamo tutto. In nome della libertà»\r\n\r\nLa guerra è finita da due anni e Charlie St Clair non ha ancora notizie della cugina Rose, dispersa in Francia. Stanca di quell’incertezza e dell’atteggiamento rassegnato della famiglia, per cui l’intraprendenza di Rose è sempre stata motivo d’imbarazzo, Charlie scappa di casa per andare a cercarla. Con sé ha un unico indizio: l’indirizzo di una donna di Londra. Tuttavia Eve Gardiner si rifiuta di collaborare. Sta per mettere alla porta quella ragazzina insolente, quando Charlie fa il nome di René, l’uomo per cui lavorava Rose. Allora Eve ci ripensa. Perché, cercando Rose, potrebbe finalmente trovare la vendetta che aspetta da trent’anni…\r\nNel 1915, Eve Gardiner arriva a Lille con un documento falso e con l’entusiasmo dei suoi diciassette anni. Con quel faccino innocente, è la spia perfetta. Infatti viene subito assunta in un bistrot e gli ufficiali tedeschi che lo frequentano non si fanno remore a discutere i loro piani davanti a lei. L’unico che sembra accorgersi della sua presenza è il proprietario, René Bordelon, un collaborazionista scaltro e spregevole, che inizia a corteggiarla. Eve ancora non lo sa, ma René segnerà il suo trionfo e la sua rovina…\r\nCharlie ed Eve sono molto diverse, eppure condividono la stessa determinazione, lo stesso coraggio nel combattere per quello in cui credono. Facendo affidamento l’una sull’altra, intraprenderanno un cammino costellato di tradimenti e di segreti e, insieme, riusciranno finalmente a scoprire la verità e, così, a trovare la pace.

Erano diversissime, ciascuna reclutata in base a un talento specifico: la ricca e colta Osla come interprete, l'umile e ambiziosa Mabel come dattilografa e Beth – la più timida ma anche la più brillante – come crittoanalista. Eppure, in breve tempo, le tre giovani erano diventate inseparabili. Almeno fino a quel fatidico giorno del 1944, quando la scure della guerra si era abbattuta su di loro con tutta la sua forza, spezzando il legame che le univa... Sono passati tre anni da allora, tre anni in cui Osla ha cercato di dimenticare Bletchley Park e la tragedia che si è consumata tra le sue mura. Però tutto cambia nel momento in cui riceve per posta uno strano messaggio, una sequenza di lettere apparentemente senza senso. Osla capisce subito chi gliel'ha mandata e il pericolo che rappresenta. Perciò contatta Mabel: anche se non si sono lasciate bene, è sicura che la aiuterà a sventare la minaccia che incombe non solo su di loro, quanto sull'intero Paese. In quel messaggio, infatti, è nascosta la chiave per confermare un sospetto che Beth nutriva già nel '44, un sospetto cui nessuno voleva credere, eppure abbastanza fondato affinché qualcuno la screditasse, arrivando perfino a rinchiuderla in un ospedale psichiatrico. A Bletchley Park si aggirava un traditore, una spia che è sopravvissuta alla guerra e che adesso sta per sferrare il suo attacco, proprio alla vigilia del matrimonio della principessa Elisabetta e del principe Filippo. Mabel e Osla sono quindi costrette a mettere da parte le divergenze e a lavorare insieme, spinte dal senso del dovere e dalla volontà di rendere giustizia a Beth. E, forse, anche dalla speranza che il destino stia dando loro l'occasione di lasciarsi finalmente alle spalle i rancori del passato e di riannodare il filo della loro amicizia. Perché non c'è vittoria più amara di quella celebrata in solitudine, né bene più prezioso del sostegno delle vere amiche.

Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women’s march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The king’s pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head.\n\nBut when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolution’s ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France’s blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesan’s daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls France’s fate: the fearsome Robespierre.

“The Library of Legends is a gorgeous, poetic journey threaded with mist and magic about a group from a Chinese university who take to the road to escape the Japanese invasion of 1937 – only to discover that danger stalks them from within. Janie Chang pens pure enchantment!”  —Kate Quinn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress\n\nFrom the author of Three Souls and Dragon Springs Road comes a captivating historical novel—the third in a loosely-connected trilogy—in which a young woman travels across China with a convoy of student refugees, fleeing the hostilities of a brutal war with Japan.\n\n“Myths are the darkest and brightest incarnations of who we are…”\n\nChina, 1937: When Japanese bombs begin falling on the city of Nanking, nineteen-year-old Hu Lian and her classmates at Minghua University are ordered to flee. Lian and a convoy of more than a hundred students, faculty, and staff must walk a thousand miles to the safety of China’s western provinces, a journey marred by hunger, cold, and the constant threat of aerial attack. And it is not just the student refugees who are at risk: Lian and her classmates have been entrusted with a priceless treasure, a 500-year-old collection of myths and folklore known as the Library of Legends. \n\nHer family’s past has made Lian wary of forming attachments, but the students’ common duty to safeguard the Library of Legends forms unexpected bonds. Lian finds friendship and a cautious romance with the handsome and wealthy Liu Shaoming. But after one classmate is murdered and another arrested, Lian realizes she must escape from the convoy before a family secret puts her in danger. Accompanied by Shao and the enigmatic maidservant Sparrow, Lian makes her way to Shanghai, hoping to reunite with her mother. \n\nOn the journey, Lian learns of the connection between her two companions and a tale from the Library of Legends, The Willow Star and the Prince. Learning Shao and Sparrow’s true identities compels Lian to confront her feelings for Shao. But there are broader consequences too, for as the ancient books travel across China, they awaken immortals and guardian spirits to embark on an exodus of their own, one that changes the country’s fate forever.\n\nBased on true events, rich in Chinese history and lore, The Library of Legends is both an illuminating exploration of China’s recent past and an evocative tale of love, sacrifice, and the extraordinary power of storytelling.
