“Real monsters don’t live inside books. They live inside us, patiently waiting for the moment we decide to let them out.” - Ro McBay The Book of Fae is not a fairytale, but a survival manual written for humans. Written for those who have the ability to see through faery glamour, for humans who can see fae-kind. Humans like Ro McBay. At eighteen, all Ro wants is to forget. To forget Faery. To forget Cian, the fae warrior who died screaming her name. To forget she saved both faery and humankind from an army of vengeful immortals. To forget she breathed life into the Queen of Faery. To forget her father is a fae prince. To forget his blood runs through her veins. And forgetting means returning to the mortal realm, to her nagging mom, to her crazy, best friend, to her boring, human life. Unfortunately, forgetting comes with a price - a promise to Eriu, the Queen of Faery, the promise Ro will return to the immortal realm by the Winter Solstice. It’s a lie, of course. For if Ro has learned anything from the fae, it’s how to skirt the truth. And the truth is, Ro has no intention of ever returning to the ruthless kingdom. But lying to the Queen of Faery is dangerous business. No one deceives Eriu and survives, especially a half-blood. And if Ro McBay believes she can lie to the most powerful immortal in the realm, the girl will learn the importance of truth. Truth is the half-blood can’t hide from Eriu, not when the fae queen has plans for humankind, plans which require Ro McBay’s blood. Plans which will teach Ro a cruel truth. Real monsters aren’t born, they are made.
The Periodic Table of Elements hasn't always looked like it does now, a well-organized chart arranged by atomic number. In the mid-nineteenth century, chemists were of the belief that the elements should be sorted by atomic weight. However, the weights of many elements were calculated incorrectly, and over time it became clear that not only did the elements need rearranging, but that the periodic table contained many gaps and omissions: there were elements yet to be discovered, and the allure of finding one had scientists rushing to fill in the blanks. Supposed "discoveries" flooded laboratories, and the debate over what did and did not belong on the periodic table reached a fever pitch. With the discovery of radioactivity, the discourse only intensified. Throughout its formation, the Periodic Table of Elements has seen false entries, good-faith errors, retractions, and dead ends. In fact, there have been more falsely proclaimed elemental discoveries throughout history than there are elements on the table as we know it today. The Lost Elements: The Periodic Table's Shadow Side collects the most notable of these instances, stretching from the nineteenth century to the present. The book tells the story of how scientists have come to understand elements, by discussing the failed theories and false discoveries that shaped the path of scientific progress. We learn of early chemists' stubborn refusal to disregard alchemy as a legitimate practice, and of one German's supposed discovery of an elemental metal that breathed. As elements began to be created artificially in the twentieth century, we watch the discovery climate shift to favor the physicists, rather than the chemists. Along the way, Fontani, Costa, and Orna introduce us to the key figures in the development of today's periodic table, including Lavoisier and Mendeleev. Featuring a preface from Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann, The Lost Elements is an expansive history of the wrong side of chemical discovery-and reveals how these errors and gaffes have helped shape the table as much as any other form of scientific progress.
Soon to be eighteen, Ro McBay has never met her father, has never learned his name, and has never seen his photograph. He left on the day of Ro’s birth and never returned. When Ro’s old and extremely odd next door neighbor, Mrs. O’Leary, gets a visit from a handsome, young stranger, Ro’s secret dream of someday meeting her father becomes a nightmare - one which may possibly kill her. After the stranger admits he is a warrior fae sent by Queen Eriu of Faery, he offers Ro a chance at saving her father and the mortal realm. Ro doesn’t know if the distracting Cian Brodie is simply crazy or full-on certifiable. Faeries aren’t real, right? But when Torin, an assassin from the Winter Court, begins hunting Ro as well, she is forced to see the truth for what it is - a death sentence. “No, luv, not a lie, but a horrible truth. My kind are infamous for their brutal honesty and deadly honor. Come with me now, and maybe my liege will keep you.” Forced to choose between death or enslavement, Ro’s destiny is one of blood and sacrifice.
