Like my father, King Alvar, I was born a Cursed... the first female Cursed in the history of my world. That means my care-free twin brother, Kalvar, is destined to be the next heir to Underland's throne. Kalvar is celebrated and loved by the people, while I live as my people's shame, the freak with dragon wings, avoided by most... including any suitors. However, with the kingdom weakened by my father's sudden disappearance, it becomes apparent that an old enemy has been waiting in the shadows for the perfect moment to strike. Could it be a Cursed princess like me may be the only person capable of protecting the peace my father and mother risked everything to establish?

All my life I've been told by my mother I'm promised in marriage to a king from another world. Understandably no one believed her and I grew up and let my mother's "delusion" go in an attempt at a normal life. However, soon after I've gotten engaged to my boyfriend, a darkly handsome and mysterious King Alvar appears and tells me the time has come for me to marry him and become his queen. I find myself whisked away to Alvar's strange world, a fantastical land shrouded by a dark past of curses, monsters, and dangerous secrets. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a strange new world is nothing compared to learning that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.

What should have been an uneventful research trip to Washington, D.C. turns into a nightmare for Dr Mitali Verma – member of the Indian Council of Historical Research – when she finds herself arrested and accused of stealing the Hope Diamond. Shockingly, not only does Dr Verma confess to her role in the crime, but she also lays claim to the diamond, calling it her personal possession. During her subsequent interrogation, she narrates the history of the diamond: a sordid tale that would conclusively prove the sole owner of the less jewel to be her, and her alone. Plunging into the opulence of sixteenth century India, Dr Verma’s history recounts a tragic and passionate love story. Alvar - the loyal praetorian guard of the affluent Sartaj family, comes into the possession of the Blue Diamond after the Sartaj family’s horrific and suspicious demise. Protecting the stone for its rightful heir, Alvar holds out hope for the return of Manjari: the only Sartaj family member whose remains were unfound. She was the true owner of the diamond, the only person who could lay claim to its beauty and the hope it embodied. Unbeknownst to all of them, however, was the true nature of the Blue Diamond; it was no mere bauble. It was a curse come to life, waiting to destroy all who possess it. A series of increasingly horrifying events are set in motion, each resulting in several deaths, and culminating in the final loss of the diamond when a French traveler steals it away from them all, taking the Blue Diamond westward. By the end of the wretched tale Manjari thrown into a dilemma and torn between picking the Blue Diamond and the love of her life, she runs away into the night. She disappears once again, choosing to go after the stone and leaving behind a trail of misery in her wake. Back in the present day, with the whole of Washington, D.C. thrown into a frenzy over the Blue Diamond’s whereabouts, will Dr Verma’s story reveal to the authorities where the peerless jewel now lies? Or does some other desolate fate await the good doctor and her beloved diamond?

From the internationally acclaimed author of Purge and When the Doves Disappeared, comes a deliciously dark family drama that is a searing portrait of both the exploitation of women's bodies and the extremes to which people will go for the sake of beauty. When Anita Naakka jumps in front of an oncoming train, her daughter, Norma, is left alone with the secret they have spent their lives hiding: Norma has supernatural hair, sensitive to the slightest changes in her mood--and the moods of those around her--moving of its own accord, corkscrewing when danger is near. And so it is her hair that alerts her, while she talks with a strange man at her mother's funeral, that her mother may not have taken her own life. Setting out to reconstruct Anita's final months--sifting through puzzling cell phone records, bank statements, video files--Norma begins to realise that her mother knew more about her hair's powers than she let on: a sinister truth beyond Norma's imagining.

PEN/Hemingway Award For Debut Novel Finalist Shortlisted for the 2020 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize A “rich, ambitious debut novel” (The New York Times Book Review) that reveals the ways in which a Jamaican family forms and fractures over generations, in the tradition of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. Stanford Solomon’s shocking, thirty-year-old secret is about to change the lives of everyone around him. Stanford has done something no one could ever imagine. He is a man who faked his own death and stole the identity of his best friend. Stanford Solomon is actually Abel Paisley. And now, nearing the end of his life, Stanford is about to meet his firstborn daughter, Irene Paisley, a home health aide who has unwittingly shown up for her first day of work to tend to the father she thought was dead. These Ghosts Are Family revolves around the consequences of Abel’s decision and tells the story of the Paisley family from colonial Jamaica to present-day Harlem. There is Vera, whose widowhood forced her into the role of a single mother. There are two daughters and a granddaughter who have never known they are related. And there are others, like the houseboy who loved Vera, whose lives might have taken different courses if not for Abel Paisley’s actions. This “rich and layered story” (Kirkus Reviews) explores the ways each character wrestles with their ghosts and struggles to forge independent identities outside of the family and their trauma. The result is a “beguiling…vividly drawn, and compelling” (BookPage, starred review) portrait of a family and individuals caught in the sweep of history, slavery, migration, and the more personal dramas of infidelity, lost love, and regret.
