Marie Rutkoski's startling debut novel, the first book in the Kronos Chronicles, about the risks we take to protect those we love, brims with magic, political intrigue, and heroism. Petra Kronos has a simple, happy life. But it's never been ordinary. She has a pet tin spider named Astrophil who likes to hide in her snarled hair and give her advice. Her best friend can trap lightning inside a glass sphere. Petra also has a father in faraway Prague who is able to move metal with his mind. He has been commissioned by the prince of Bohemia to build the world's finest astronomical clock. Petra's life is forever changed when, one day, her father returns home – blind. The prince has stolen his eyes, enchanted them, and now wears them. But why? Petra doesn't know, but she knows this: she will go to Prague, sneak into Salamander Castle, and steal her father's eyes back. Joining forces with Neel, whose fingers extend into invisible ghosts that pick locks and pockets, Petra finds that many people in the castle are not what they seem, and that her father's clock has powers capable of destroying their world.

A classic work of female psychology introduces seven archetypal goddesses to describe behavior patterns and personality traits, now presented to a new generation with a fresh introduction by the author. Psychoanalyst Jean Bolen gained prominence in the early 1980s when her influential work captivated thousands of women eager to discover their inner goddesses. These archetypes serve as guides toward enhanced self-esteem, creativity, and happiness. Bolen's groundbreaking idea highlights that women, often unaware of the impact of cultural stereotypes, also overlook the powerful archetypal forces within them that shape their actions and emotions, accounting for significant differences among individuals. She argues that understanding these inner patterns and their interconnections offers women true alternatives that transcend limiting dichotomies like masculine/feminine or careerist/housewife. Through the lens of seven archetypal goddesses—ranging from the independent Artemis and the rational Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the artistic Aphrodite—Bolen illustrates how to identify which traits to cultivate or overcome. By harnessing the power of these enduring archetypes, women can become the heroines of their own life stories.
