Tithe
Sixteen-year-old Kaye finds a white-haired young man bleeding to death in a rain-drenched New Jersey wood and saves his life. From that moment nothing in her life will ever be the same. Soon she is plunged into an inhuman world of conflict and betrayal, that demands a terrible sacrifice to win the kingdom. Cleverly combining romance with the resonance of myth, Holly Black masterfully evokes the dark heart of her conjured realm where Kaye must fight for her lover and her survival – a place of wonder, to be sure, but also of trickery, decadence, brutality and blood.
Valiant
When seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, she’s trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city’s labyrinthine subway system. But there’s something eerily beguiling about Val’s new friends. And when one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature with whom they are all involved, Val finds herself torn between her newfound affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming.
Ironside
In the realm of Faerie, the time has come for Roiben’s coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing — her love for Roiben. But when Kaye, drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest. Now Kaye can’t see or speak to Roiben unless she can find the one thing she knows doesn’t exist: a faerie who can tell a lie.
Do or dry!
Who can relate to this: you're sitting at a table at the restaurant, ready to be joined by your mates for a nice breakfast after your morning round of golf. You feel good, you feel confident, you've played your best game ever. You see one of your friends arrive. You raise your hand to wave and get their attention, only to notice the massive wet patch on your armpit.
There goes your confidence! You suddenly feel hot with embarrassment. If only you'd been wearing something appropriate, both for the game and breakfast. Something that would dry quickly, something that would keep you cool...
Something like a dry tech performance shirt like the one we have a deal on today from SWAGG!
