By Cellier, Melanie Publishing Date: 2021 Classification: YA Call Number: YA "Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruin or so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlie's seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mage's Guild in her sister's wake. She's used to living in Airlie's shadow, but she can't see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister. But leaving her new home isn't an option. Plagued by questions from her isolated childhood, Cadence needs answers, and the Guild might hold them. But as the revelations grow, Cadence must find a way to conceal the truth from her new companions before the sisters' secrets turn everyone against them. And as word of Airlie's power spreads, new danger emerges. Across the kingdom's border, a threat is growing among the ruins of their former neighbor -- enemies who will do anything to get their hands on the sisters and the seeds they contain. No longer able to shelter behind Airlie, Cadence must make a choice. Will she embrace her power, whatever it might be, or pursue a different path?" -- Back cover. |

Caste: the origins of our discontents : adapted for young adults By Wilkerson, Isabel Publishing Date: [2022] Classification: YA Call Number: YA 305.5122 WIL "We in the developed world are like homeowners who inherited a house on a piece of land that is beautiful on the outside, but whose soil is unstable loam and rock, heaving and contracting over generations, cracks patched but the deeper ruptures waved away for decades, centuries even. Many people may rightly say, 'I had nothing to do with how this all started. I have nothing to do with the sins of the past. My ancestors never attacked indigenous people, never owned slaves.' And, yes. Not one of us was here when this house was built. Our immediate ancestors may have had nothing to do with it, but here we are, the current occupants of a property with stress cracks and bowed walls and fissures built into the foundation. We are the heirs to whatever is right or wrong with it. We did not erect the uneven pillars or joists, but they are ours to deal with now. And any further deterioration is, in fact, on our hands."-- |
