“You will marry the very next man who walks in that door.” As the only princess of a prosperous kingdom, I have wanted for nothing—and refused all suitors. What real man is worthy of my interest, when I secretly pen tales of handsome lords and beautiful brooding counts? But now my father has gathered up every eligible royal bachelor in all the realm. And it’s just as I suspected, not one to capture my fancy—especially King Brennus of the Wood Elves, who looks like a bandit and has the accent of a man born in a barn. I’d rather be on my own forever. I refuse them all. The last thing I expected was for my mild-mannered father to insist, in a fit of anger, that I marry the next man who walks in the door, even if he’s a peasant…and what do you know? “No, lass. I won’t let you starve. But you won’t exactly be free either. And just remember, any time you like, you can stop me. All you have to do is work or beg.” My new husband looks like a laborer and lives in a little cabin in the forest, but something tells me he’s not what he seems. He says he means to teach me humility in the form of honest work, making stew and scrubbing floors. But somehow or other, he knows all my secrets, all the deepest desires of my heart, and there is no one in the forest to hear me beg him for mercy...except the wolvenfolk who howl in the forest at night. They haven’t made any trouble in fifty years, but when the wolves are at the door, I don’t know if a peasant can save me… The Beggar Princess is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm's King Thrushbeard, a standalone fairy tale romance for those who like unabashedly adorable happily ever afters with a side of serious steaminess!

In a time long ago, a kingdom thrived under the rule of a wise and just king. The king and his queen were beloved by their subjects, and their reign was marked by prosperity and harmony. However, their greatest joy came with the birth of their only son, Prince Frederick. From an early age, it was evident that Prince Frederick possessed a kind heart and a deep sense of empathy. Surrounded by wealth and privilege, the young prince yearned for something more-something beyond the confines of the palace walls. He longed to understand the struggles faced by those less fortunate, to explore the world beyond his sheltered existence. Guided by his insatiable curiosity and an innate desire to make a difference, Prince Frederick often found himself venturing into the streets of the kingdom, disguised as a commoner. He would observe the lives of the people, listen to their stories, and offer a helping hand whenever possible. Little did Prince Frederick know that these early encounters would plant the seeds of compassion that would later shape his destiny. The empathy he felt for the less fortunate would ignite a fire within him-a fire that would drive him to become a beacon of hope and kindness in a world that sometimes seemed devoid of such virtues. And so, as the young prince grew, so too did his longing for a greater purpose. The path that lay ahead would be filled with challenges, lessons, and unexpected transformations. The prince's journey would take him from the opulence of the palace to the humble abodes of the impoverished. It would test his resolve, push the boundaries of his understanding, and ultimately lead him to discover the true meaning of nobility. This is the story of Prince Frederick-the tale of a privileged youth who became a compassionate leader, a story of the transformative power of empathy, and a reminder that true greatness lies not in titles or riches, but in the ability to bring light to the lives of others.

I Am the Beggar of the World presents an eye-opening collection of clandestine poems by Afghan women. Because my love's American, blisters blossom on my heart. Afghans revere poetry, particularly the high literary forms that derive from Persian or Arabic. But the poem above is a folk couplet—a landay, an ancient oral and anonymous form created by and for mostly illiterate people: the more than 20 million Pashtun women who span the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. War, separation, homeland, love—these are the subjects of landays, which are brutal and spare, can be remixed like rap, and are powerful in that they make no attempts to be literary. From Facebook to drone strikes to the songs of the ancient caravans that first brought these poems to Afghanistan thousands of years ago, landays reflect contemporary Pashtun life and the impact of three decades of war. With the U.S. withdrawal in 2014 looming, these are the voices of protest most at risk of being lost when the Americans leave. After learning the story of a teenage girl who was forbidden to write poems and set herself on fire in protest, the poet Eliza Griswold and the photographer Seamus Murphy journeyed to Afghanistan to learn about these women and to collect their landays. The poems gathered in I Am the Beggar of the World express a collective rage, a lament, a filthy joke, a love of homeland, an aching longing, a call to arms, all of which belie any facile image of a Pashtun woman as nothing but a mute ghost beneath a blue burqa.
