A scar in the bone : a novel / by Jordan, Sophie,author.;
"It's been a year since Tamsyn transformed. From royal whipping girl in the palace of Penterra to the bride of Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands. From the enemy in the Beast's bed to the wife he sacrificed himself to save. From an ordinary girl ... to a dragon. And not just any dragon -- a powerful fire-breather ... and the best hope to keep magic from flickering out forever. With Fell gone, torn from her side in the dangerous swirling mists of the Crags, Tamsyn is heartbroken and alone among the dragon pride. An unwelcome outsider still learning to survive in this fiery skin of hers within a new cutthroat society, she trains in the arena until her muscles burn and her blood spills. Slowly, Tamsyn forges herself into a warrior in the shadow of Fell's enigmatic brother, Vetr, whose silver eyes track her with distrust ... and maybe something more. But is Fell truly beyond her reach? Their bond pulls at her, as fiercely as the drive to protect both humans and dragonkind from the growing threat posed by Stig, once her closest friend, now a relentless enemy determined to hunt her down and destroy her -- and with her, all things magic. Magic stirs in the darkness, strengthening all who believe in it. But will it be enough to save Tamsyn, the pride, the kingdom ... and a fiery love fated to endure for centuries, as deep as a scar in the bone?"--

Blue ruin / by Kunzru, Hari,1969-author.;
"Once, Jay was an artist. Shortly after graduating from his London art school, he was tipped for greatness, a promising career already taking shape before him. Now, undocumented in the United States, he lives out of his car and makes a living as an essential worker, delivering groceries in a wealthy area of upstate New York. The pandemic is still at its height -- the greater public panicked in quarantine -- and though he has returned to work, Jay hasn't recovered from the effects of a recent Covid case. Jay arrives at a house set in an enormous acreage of woodland only to find the last person he ever expected to see again: Alice, a former lover from his art school days. Their relationship was tumultuous and destructive, ultimately ending when she ghosted him and left for America with his best friend and fellow artist, Rob. In the twenty years since, their fortunes could not be more different: as Jay teeters on the edge of collapse, Alice and Rob have found prosperity in a life surrounded by beauty. Ashamed, Jay hopes she won't recognize him behind his dirty surgical mask; when she does, she invites him to recover on the property -- where an erratic gallery owner and his girlfriend are isolating as well -- setting a reckoning decades in the making into motion. Gripping and brilliantly orchestrated, Blue Ruin moves back and forth through time to deliver an extraordinary portrait of an artist as he reunites with his past and confronts the world he once loved and left behind"--
