Praldia

Princess Zira Sallee's family was massacred at fourteen by the barbarian who now rules her planet. Zira has hidden with her kin for nine years in Praldia, enjoying the Cyran and Praldian life. But her parents were just executed for high treason, and now it is Zira's turn to go before Prince Luther Saboa, heir to Cyra and the ruler of Praldia. Expecting to be killed like her parents, Zira is surprised to learn that is not her fate. When Zira's parents were executed, Zira, having not reached wisdom yet, instantly became the property of the throne, along with the rest of her family's land and belongings. Cyrans train for years to control their inner chaos, but Luther's desires have been years in the making, and now that they are within his grasp, he won't let them go. As Zira's official state guardian, Luther means to take full control of the exiled Avalonian princess, even if it takes him to war.

In her bid to find safety, Princess Zira Sallee finds herself in Cyra, the home planet of her companion, Prince Luther Saboa. The tension between Luther and Zira only grows here, and the love that had started to grow between them quickly wilts under the pressure. Unwilling to be helpless, Zira takes control of her life again and becomes the woman she needs to be to survive. She has new Elite to protect her, a good friend of questionable morals to spy for her, and the cunning to get her through it. War with Avalonia is inevitable, but Zira will not be the submissive princess she was raised to be if it means her people suffer. She will be the queen her people need, even if she is yet to wear the crown.

One high school party. That's all I wanted. Here was the plan: - sneak out to a party by lying to my parents about going to my best friend's house. - Dance for a few hours. - Go back home, and no one is any wiser. Here's what wasn't planned. - Seven minutes in heaven with a gorgeous growly guy who hates me. - Getting attacked by evil demons that my kind hunt for a living. - Being buried alive by my best friend. - Getting busted and grounded on the eve of turning eighteen. It was just one stupid party. All the fault of the guy with the enormous black wings carrying the sword of light.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.

This volume on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries starts with Vidyakara`s retrospect over anonymous poets (named ones having mostly found their places in earlier volumes). After some smaller anthologies a few novels and Mankhaka`s mythological epic we come to a historical epic. History is the most substantial source of matter for literature in the volume. That might seem to contrast with Vol. Vi, but as literature its aim is always are, not facts which narrows the gap.
