Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it's all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we'll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls. And now the impossible dream has come true. I'm out, we're all out--and I didn't even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother's prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn't kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere. Ha, only joking! Actually, it's gone all wrong. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. And the first thing I've got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in."]]></description><link>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C595712</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C595712</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Novik, Naomi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/595712150</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593158357/MC.GIF&amp;client=wclsiii&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buried Deep and Other Stories]]></title><description><![CDATA[A thrilling anthology of thirteen short stories that span the wide-ranging imagination of the New York Times bestselling author of the Scholomance Trilogy, including a sneak peek at the world where her next novel will be set.]]></description><link>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C700891</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C700891</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Novik, Naomi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/700891150</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593600351/MC.GIF&amp;client=wclsiii&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spinning Silver]]></title><description><![CDATA[Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father is not a very good one.

Free to lend and reluctant to collect, he has left his family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem intercedes.

"Every so often you come upon a story that seems like a lost tale of Grimm newly come to light. Uprooted is such a novel. Its narrative spell is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. I might even call it bewitching."--Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon "Our Dragon doesn't eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that's not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he's still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we're grateful, but not that grateful." Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows--everyone knows--that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn't, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her. But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. Advance praise for Uprooted "Uprooted has everything I love: a great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight."--Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series "Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic."--Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy "Reading Uprooted was like rediscovering a favorite old sweater, familiar and beloved. It feels as if it has always existed and has been waiting patiently for me to return to it."--Maggie Stiefvater, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Shiver Trilogy "Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it's just that enchanting. The adventure builds with such tension that you are peeking through your hands at the end, hoping it will all be okay, and Naomi Novik delivers a conclusion that's deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf that I'll revisit often."--Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of Shattered "Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could not stop reading this book and neither will you!"--Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen "Uprooted by Naomi Novik is enchanting, in every sense of that fine old word. A charming and inviting story that looks unflinchingly at the strangling roots of hurt and revenge."--Robin Hobb, bestselling author of Fool's Assassin"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C210053</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C210053</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Novik, Naomi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/210053150</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780804179041/MC.GIF&amp;client=wclsiii&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[His Majesty's Dragon]]></title><description><![CDATA[Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain's defense by taking to the skies ... not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

Will Laurence and his fighting dragon Temeraire once again taking to the air against the broadsides of Napoleon's forces and the friendly--and sometimes not-so-friendly--fire of British soldiers and politicians who continue to suspect them of divided loyalties, if not outright treason. For Laurence and Temeraire, put out to pasture in Australia, it seems their part in the war has come to an end just when they are needed most. Newly allied with the powerful African empire of the Tswana, the French have occupied Spain and brought revolution and bloodshed to Brazil, threatening Britain's last desperate hope to defeat Napoleon. So the British government dispatches Arthur Hammond from China to enlist Laurence and Temeraire to negotiate a peace with the angry Tswana, who have besieged the Portuguese royal family in Rio--and as bait, Hammond bears an offer to reinstate Laurence to his former rank and seniority as a captain in the Aerial Corps. Temeraire is delighted by this sudden reversal of fortune, but Laurence is by no means sanguine, knowing from experience that personal honor and duty to one's country do not always run on parallel tracks.

But Captain Will Laurence has been jailed for treason, and his dragon Temeraire consigned to the breeding grounds in Wales. Neither can respond as Napoleon's forces at last make their move across the English Channel and plant the eagle standard on British shores. But when Laurence's prison ship is sunk and he washes ashore near Dover, he begins a desperate search to rejoin his dragon partner. Meanwhile, Temeraire gathers the motley band of the breeding grounds around him and turns them into a resistance force, striking at the French as they press northward from London in pursuit of the royal family.]]></description><link>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C144506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S150C144506</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Novik, Naomi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bellingham.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/144506150</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781415954379/MC.GIF&amp;client=wclsiii&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
