Naked and alone Xandr roams war ravaged Enya, championing the downtrodden by his skull-faced sword, while fleeing a bloody past and a burdensome fate. But in a city under siege, he meets the lithe and statuesque Thelana, a woman, as himself, of the rarely-clothed and nature-worshipping Ilmar, a people on the tail end of genocide. Allied with Emmalina, a raven-eyed sorceress; and Grimosse, a faithful, hammer-wielding monster, they journey from oceans turned desert to pewter carved citadels, from an undiscovered isle to a fabled utopia; in search of an answer to the ancient mystery of their forlorn and divided planet.

Radia can feel other people’s emotions as intimately as her own. This power betrays her when her adopted-brother, Zaibos, slaughters her guards and seizes her throne. In a land ruled by fear, one man remains loyal, Demacharon, an aging soldier who rushes her from the Compass Tower. Fleeing for her life, she discovers her empathic connections mean far more than anyone could have imagined. Radia represents all that is good and innocent in the world, part Snow White, part Jesus. When you look at her, you cannot help but fall in love. Zaibos embodies her opposite. Cruelty and cynicism and terror. The Princess of Aenya explores this dichotomy between love and hate, fear and hope, guilt and redemption, while following Radia and her bodyguard in a fantastical journey of fast-paced action, exotic locales, terrifying creatures, and heartwarming characters. It’s thrilling, it’s tragic, and it has that elusive ingredient missing from many of today’s bestsellers: a story that means something.

Download and read online ebook The Dark Fantastic write by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas. This book was released on 2020-09-22. The Dark Fantastic available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Reveals the diversity crisis in children's and young adult media as not only a lack of representation, but a lack of imagination Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter. The Dark Fantastic is an engaging and provocative exploration of race in popular youth and young adult speculative fiction. Grounded in her experiences as YA novelist, fanfiction writer, and scholar of education, Thomas considers four black girl protagonists from some of the most popular stories of the early 21st century: Bonnie Bennett from the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Analyzing their narratives and audience reactions to them reveals how these characters mirror the violence against black and brown people in our own world. In response, Thomas uncovers and builds upon a tradition of fantasy and radical imagination in Black feminism and Afrofuturism to reveal new possibilities. Through fanfiction and other modes of counter-storytelling, young people of color have reinvisioned fantastic worlds that reflect their own experiences, their own lives. As Thomas powerfully asserts, “we dark girls deserve more, because we are more.”
