After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again. Now that she’s discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.
But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn’t the only force Evangeline needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.
Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline’s life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she’s not sure she can. . . .

The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones.
With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros.
Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why did it become so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What is the origin of Daenerys’s three dragon eggs? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

本书是加拿大著名小说家玛格丽特·阿特伍德的一部长篇小说，讲述女主人公画家伊莱恩回到她度过童年及青春时代的多伦多举办个人作品回顾展。故地重游间，牵连出少时与三个女孩的恩怨及成年后与三位男子的情爱纠葛，最终怅然离开多伦多。
全书十五章，每一章都以女主人公的一幅绘画作品为题目，反映了其成长过程各个不同时期的生活或心路历程。小说结构别致，由现实与回忆两个层面组成。伊莱恩一直走在现实与回忆的边缘，她摆脱不掉自己走过的每一步生活，一切发生在昨日的事，都在她敏感的心灵上刻下烙印。

In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado’s engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.
And it’s that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope―the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman―through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.
Machado’s dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

First volume of a brilliant new fantasy trilogy: the most powerful, original and absorbing new epic since Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. The first volume of George R R Martin's glorious high fantasy tells the tragic story of treachery, greed and war that threatens the unity of the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall. Martin unfolds with astonishing skill a tale of truly epic dimensions, thronged with memorable characters, a story of treachery and ambition, love and magic. Set in a fabulous world scarred by battle and catastrophe over 8000 years of recorded history, it tells of the deeds of men and women locked in the deadliest of conflicts and the terrible legacy they will leave their children. In the game of thrones, you win or you die. And in the bitter-cold, unliving lands beyond the Wall, a terrible winter gathers and the others -- the undead, the neverborn, wildlings to whom the threat of the sword is nothing -- make ready to descend on the realms of men. A Game of Thrones begins the most imaginative, ambitious and compelling fantasy epic since The Lord of the Rings. Thronged with memorable characters, it unfolds with astonishing skill a tale of truly epic dimensions. There have been many pretenders to the throne of Tolkien: now at last he has a true heir.

A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family—and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for—and everything she feared

「内容简介」
本书是一部面向21世纪的政治启蒙读物，从数字时代社会的特征、未来的权力形式，到未来的自由、民主、正义，为我们了解安排人类集体生活的未来的政治提供了独特思考。一如作者所言：本书主要写给希望更清楚地看懂未来的普通公民。
杰米·萨斯坎德认为，人工智能、虚拟现实等各种技术将彻底改变我们的公共和私人生活。他给我们描述了一个数字生活世界，在这个世界中，某些技术和平台以及控制它们的人拥有强大权力：有些技术会收集我们所有的数据，我们为此会避免做出那些被视为可耻、有罪或错误的行为；还有一些技术会过滤我们对世界的认知，选择我们能知道什么，塑造我们的想法，影响我们的感受，指导我们的行动；还有一些技术会迫使我们去做我们原本不会做或不愿意做的事情。久而久之，人类与机器、线上与线下、虚拟与真实等方面的区别，都会逐渐消失。
控制这些技术的人将越来越多地影响乃至决定我们的生活。他们将设定自由的界限，决定民主的兴衰和未来。他们的算法也将决定社会正义的方方面面，决定社会物品的分配，决定我们的身份和地位。我们该怎么办？是拒绝使用所有数字技术，回到过去，还是不顾一切地拥抱数字系统？

★ 数字时代的政治启蒙读物，追问21世纪关涉所有人生活的重大问题。
21世纪，数字技术即政治本身，我们必须要思考的是：处于不断变化中的数字技术，将如何影响我们的政治体系？我们的生活应在多大程度上受功能强大的数字系统的指引和控制？技术与政治如何互动？技术与权力有什么关系？
★ 重新审视新技术的力量，描绘被技术彻底改变的数字生活世界。
技术可以将武力直接施加于人，强迫或禁止你做某事；技术会通过收集、存储人类的数据来规训人类，进而预测我们的行为；技术将控制人类感知世界的方式，过滤我们对更广阔世界的了解。代表这些技术的系统的功能越来越强，将强大的机器与大量数据编织在一张复杂精妙的网中，形成了数字生活世界。
★ 围绕权力、自由、民主和正义来思考未来政治，看懂未来。
在21世纪，数字技术不再限于消费生活，还进入公民层面，人类政治和社会生活的核心如权力、自由、民主和正义将具有新的含义，面临新的挑战；强者如何统治弱者？什么被允许，什么被禁止？民众的权利和权力是什么？什么样的分配是公平的？为什么承认与身份依然重要？
★ 丰富切近的实例，直观呈现新技术对私人和公共生活的全面“入侵”。
人们日益居住于机器设备之中，禁止你变道和加速的自动驾驶汽车，监控你网上购物车、禁止你购买违禁物品的程序，搜集你生活数据的宠物机器人、智能居家设备，实时判断一个人是否高兴或困惑的机器，塑造你世界观的信息制造与控制系统，等等，数据不仅富有商业价值，更吸引着想了解和治理集体生活的人，我们还有控制权吗？

「名人推荐」
数字系统与算法不只是技术，而且是政治性的。本书以清晰有力的证据表明，新技术公司已经深度介入公共生活，在潜移默化之中施展其日渐增长的控制力，正在重新界定自由、平等、正义和民主的含义。作者呼吁人们，应当严肃对待这一正在迫近的危险政治前景，并及时行动予以应对。

只有精英才能控制计算的力量，它分散于空间中，集成在云端，且能够处理数量越来越庞大的数据。这对自由、民主和正义意味着什么？杰米·萨斯坎德开创性地探索了这些问题给我们的政治思维和实践带来的挑战。这是一部必读书。
——菲利普·佩蒂特（Philip Pettit），普林斯顿大学教授
这本书激起读者重新思考自由或平等意味着什么，拥有权力或财产意味着什么，政治制度的公正或民主意味着什么，并提出了我们可以且必须重新获得控制权的方法。这不亚于呼吁从根本上改变我们思考政治的方式。

Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one.

But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision.

The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.

In her stunning first novel, Amy and Isabelle , Elizabeth Strout evokes a teenager's alienation from her distant mother—and a parent's rage at the discovery of her daughter's sexual secrets. In most ways, Isabelle and Amy are like any mother and her 16-year-old daughter, a fierce mix of love and loathing exchanged in their every glance. And eating, sleeping, and working side by side in the gossip-ridden mill town of Shirley Falls doesn't help matters. But when Amy is discovered behind the steamed-up windows of a car with her math teacher, the vast and icy distance between mother and daughter becomes unbridgeable.
As news of the scandal reaches every ear, it is Isabelle who suffers from the harsh judgment of Shirley Falls, intensifying her shame about her own secret past. And as Amy seeks comfort elsewhere, she discovers the fragility of human happiness through other dramas, from the horror of a missing child to the trials of Fat Bev, the community peacemaker. Witty and often profound, Amy and Isabelle confirms Elizabeth Strout as a powerful new talent.

Trick Mirror is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly in a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Jia writes about the cultural prisms that have shaped her: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the American scammer as millennial hero; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the mandate that everything, including our bodies, should always be getting more efficient and beautiful until we die.

We can’t choose what we inherit. But can we choose who we become?

In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a traditional Caribbean black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

Can Byron and Benny reclaim their once-close relationship, piece together Eleanor’s true history, and fulfill her final request to “share the black cake when the time is right”? Will their mother’s revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost than ever?

Charmaine Wilkerson’s debut novel is a story of how the inheritance of betrayals, secrets, memories, and even names can shape relationships and history. Deeply evocative and beautifully written, Black Cake is an extraordinary journey through the life of a family changed forever by the choices of its matriarch.

《好骨头》是加拿大女作家玛格丽特•阿特伍德的短篇小说集，在这册诙谐机智、独辟蹊径的超小说文集中，作者对许多文学掌故（戏剧、神话、童话等）进行了巧妙的改编。比如莎翁的《哈姆雷特》，阿特伍德把话语权交给母后格特鲁德，为“到底谁杀了老国王”给出了新的解答，给予母后崭新的血肉和真切的现实感；作者又让《灰姑娘》里的丑陋姐姐、恶毒后母为自己辩护；让一只灵魂转世的蝙蝠向读者控诉《惊情四百年》的作者斯托克是如何误解了吸血鬼。题材和技巧上都十分“后现代”，语言精致，先锋而细腻，是典型的女性文学的叙事风格。

《龙之眼》是斯蒂芬•金的长篇奇幻成长小说，它讲述了一位王子刚刚成为新国王就蒙冤入狱，被判终身监禁。他的弟弟躲在父王寝室龙首标本后的密室里，透过龙之眼看到了真相，却保持缄默，任由哥哥被投入三百英尺高的针塔囚室，备受折磨，与世隔绝……
这不仅是一个非凡的越狱故事，也是一个充 满浓郁亲情的家庭故事，其中有父与子笑中带泪的爱与隔阂、母与子如沐春风的家教氛围，也有兄弟之间的包容体谅、朋友之间的执着信任，乃至国王与大法官的亦敌亦友、囚犯与典狱长的优势交换……用斯蒂芬•金的话来说，这个故事是献给自己的挚友，还有女儿纳奥米•金。
斯蒂芬•金化身说书人，将故事背景设定在很久以前的古老王国，将无法辩解的冤情归咎于巫师的恶作剧——这也是整个故事中奇幻元素的全部作用所在，并不是为了渲染所谓的神奇武功或黑暗氛围，而是为了给少年国王设定一个难以摆脱的艰难困境，让读者专注于观察：一位少年在濒临绝望、孤独无助的困境下，到底该如何面对？该如何找到出路，或者说，创造出路？独立地探索这一过程是非常重要的，包括制定方案、付诸行动、解决各种麻烦……这一切如同模拟现实人生中不可预知的困境以及破局之道。
