Thornton, 2021-02-02 A 2021 Foreword INDIES Award Winner in Romance and Finalist in Fantasy A 2022 Benjamin Franklin Award Runner-Up in Best New Voice: Fiction “The heat and romance of the desert, the push and the pull of Emel’s desperation, and the magic and humanity of a caustic jinni make Daughter of the Salt King an irresistible ride.” —Amy Harmon, New York Times bestselling author “This riveting debut novel will leave readers eagerly awaiting Thornton’s future works.” —Booklist A girl of the desert and a jinni born long ago by the sea, both enslaved to the Salt King—but with this capricious magic, only one can be set free. As a daughter of the Salt King, Emel ought to be among the most powerful women in the desert. Instead, she and her sisters have less freedom than even her father's slaves . . . for the Salt King uses his own daughters to seduce visiting noblemen into becoming powerful allies by marriage. Escape from her father’s court seems impossible, and Emel dreams of a life where she can choose her fate. When members of a secret rebellion attack, Emel stumbles upon an alluring escape route: her father’s best-kept secret—a wish-granting jinni, Saalim. But in the land of the Salt King, wishes are never what they seem. Saalim’s magic is volatile. Emel could lose everything with a wish for her freedom as the rebellion intensifies around her. She soon finds herself playing a dangerous game that pits dreams against responsibility and love against the promise of freedom. As she finds herself drawn to the jinni for more than his magic, captivated by both him and the world he shows her outside her desert village, she has to decide if freedom is worth the loss of her family, her home and Saalim, the only man she’s ever loved. For readers who enjoy epic desert fantasies and forbidden romance like The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury, The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh, and Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri. |

| the wonderful wizard of oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum L. Baum, 2021-09-23 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, children's book written by L. Frank Baum and first published in 1900. Dorothy is a young girl who lives in a one-room house in Kansas with the care-worn Uncle Henry and Aunt Em; the joy of her life is her dog, Toto. A sudden cyclone strikes, and, by the time Dorothy catches Toto, she is unable to reach the storm cellar. They are still in the house when the cyclone carries it away for a long journey. When at last the house lands, Dorothy finds that she is in a beautiful land inhabited by very short, strangely dressed people. The Witch of the North informs her that she is in the land of the Munchkins, who are grateful to her for having killed the Wicked Witch of the East (the house having landed on the witch), thus freeing them. The Witch of the North gives Dorothy the silver shoes of the dead witch and advises her to go to the City of Emeralds to see the Great Wizard Oz, who might help her return to Kansas. The witch sends Dorothy off along the yellow brick road with a magical kiss to protect her from harm. |

| the wonderful wizard of oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Lyman Baum, 2016-09-04 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. It has since been reprinted on numerous occasions, most often under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the popular 1902 Broadway musical as well as the iconic 1939 musical film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone.[nb 1] The novel is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. The Library of Congress has declared it America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale. Its groundbreaking success and the success of the Broadway musical adapted from the novel led Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books that serve as official sequels to the first story. Baum dedicated the book to my good friend & comrade, My Wife, Maud Gage Baum. In January 1901, George M.

| the wonderful wizard of oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Annotated) L Frank Baum, 2019-12-07 Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeDragged by a cyclone from the plains of Kansas to the land of Oz, Dorothy and her puppy, Toto, must find their way back home. To return home, Dorothy must travel to the Emerald City with her new group of friends - the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion - and put her destiny in the hands of a great and terrible magician. But an evil enemy gets in his way.Although due to circumstances that I mentioned in my review of Pride and Prejudice I am not very friendly with the classics, after reading Dorothy must die I was curious to read the original story of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. And not even as a child I came to live that story. I knew him, of course, but it's not like others that I can feel like mine in some way. After finding it free on Amazon for Kindle, I didn't turn it over and started reading.One of the many good things about reading books in Kindle format is that, in addition to the translator that carries the reader, you can adjust the difficulty of reading, according to which the Kindle shows you more or less word translations. The more explanations we ask, the easier the reading will be.So, if you are not used to reading in English, but you know the language, it will only be a matter of advancing a few chapters, from which you will have acquired a good reading rhythm. If, on the contrary, your English vocabulary is somewhat concise, it will cost you a little more, especially at the beginning, but the reader offers facilities to reduce that problem.Let's go back to the story. This book, what is classically known as Dorothy's story, is only the first volume of a series of 14 books, so if you want more, don't worry.This book tells us Dorothy's already known story. How he got to Oz, how he killed one of the evil witches of those lands when his house fell on him, how he set off for Emerald City so that the wizard of Oz sent her back. How he met his three friends, each looking for a missing piece. In terms of summary, this book has little mystery.What has been curious to me is the fact that this book, originally a children's book, could perfectly be used in institutes as a book of literature. Each character in the book is aware of its imperfection and seeks to ask the magician for help to fix it. Each of them, during the course of the story, interacts with other characters, learn from each other.For example, the Scarecrow. When he and Dorothy meet, the Scarecrow tells us, Dorothy and us, which led him to look for a brain. At first he was doing well in his work, but one day the crows realized that he was not a man, he had no brain, and was simply made of straw, so they began to attack the crops ignoring him. Therefore, to feel like a real person, the Scarecrow wants a brain.Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter wether one is a crow or a man. A brain is the only thing worth having in this world, be it a raven or a man.What the Scarecrow does not realize is that thanks to him they leave many troubles, that he is the most mentally agile at various times in history. Similarly, the Tin Man swears to himself never to be cruel or dishonest because he has no heart: act like a person with a good heart to make up for what he does not have, being able to identify those good feelings.This and other reflections have left me thinking more than once, and I would have liked to discuss aspects of this story with my classmates in High School, instead of studying the historical context of a work. I leave this story with a Good and I hope to read some continuation in the future. |
| the wonderful wizard of oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Illustrated L. Frank Baum, 2018-09-30 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (/ɒz/) is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900.[1] It has since been reprinted on numerous occasions, most often under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the popular 1902 Broadway musical adaptation as well as the iconic 1939 musical film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone.[nb 1] The novel is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. The Library of Congress has declared it America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale. Its groundbreaking success and the success of the Broadway musical adapted from the novel led Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books that serve as official sequels to the first story. Baum dedicated the book to my good friend & comrade, My Wife, Maud Gage Baum. In January 1901, George M. Hill Company completed printing the first edition, a total of 10,000 copies, which quickly sold out. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz sold three million copies by the time it entered the public domain in 1956 |
