Most ardently : a Pride & Prejudice remix / by Novoa, Gabe Cole,author.; based on (work):Austen, Jane,1775-1817.Pride and prejudice.;
"It was a special thing, to have one's reflection in harmony with who they were. London, 1813. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and ribbons he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world--and the vast majority of his family and friends--think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing pretty dresses, entertain suitors, and ultimately become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It is during one such excursion that Oliver becomes acquanited with Darcy, a sulky young man who was rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. As Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self, he dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But suitors are growing bolder--and even threatening--and his mother is increasingly desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be someone he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own"--013+.Grades 10-12.

The scorpion and the night blossom / by Zhao, Amélie Wen,author.;
Nine years ago, the war between the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Rivers tore Àn'yīng's family apart, leaving her mother barely alive and a baby sister to fend for. Now the mortal realm is falling into eternal night, and mó--beautiful, ravenous demons--roam the land, feasting on the flesh of humans and drinking their souls. Àn'yīng is no longer a helpless child, though. Armed with her crescent blades and trained in the ancient art of practitioning, she has decided to enter the Immortality Trials, which are open to any mortal who can survive the journey to the immortal realm. Those who complete the Trials are granted a pill of eternal life--the one thing Àn'yīng knows can heal her dying mother. But to attain the prize, she must survive the competition. Death is common in the Trials. Yet oddly, Àn'yīng finds that someone is helping her stay alive. A rival contestant. Powerful and handsome, Yù'chén is as secretive about his past as he is about his motives for protecting Àn'yīng. The longer she survives the Trials, the clearer it becomes that all is not right in the immortal realm. To save her mother and herself, Àn'yīng will need to figure out whether she can truly trust the stranger she's falling for or if he's the most dangerous player of all ... for herself and for all the realms.014+.Grades 10-12.
