New Adult Fiction: Wednesday, October 4

Looking for a fun new read? The library is constantly receiving new materials, including the items below. Why not stop by and check out a book, CD, movie, or other material that you find interesting. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

The Fragile Threads of Power

It’s been seven years since Kell, Lila, and Holland defeated the evil force known as Osaron. Lila has spent those seven years as captain of a ship, exploring her new magical world and occasionally spying for the Crown. Kell has spent them learning to fight with ordinary weapons now that wielding his magic causes him intense pain. Holland, of course, gave his life to defeat Osaron. But now a shadowy organization called the Hand is plotting against Kell’s brother, King Rhy, and they’ve set their sights on a powerful magical object. Lila, Kell, Rhy, and Rhy’s husband, Alucard, will all be drawn into new danger in their efforts to uncover the plot and protect their family.

An Amish Cinderella

Heart Beachy has started feeling lonely. Worse, everyone keeps asking when she’s going to find a man of her own. But Heart has her hands full with her widowed dad, too many chores, and a menagerie of needy, small animals. Clayton Glick is utterly charmed by Heart. He can’t figure out why this beautiful woman is as awkward as a teenager whenever he’s around, which is often now that he’s an apprentice to her blacksmith father. Maybe with a little faith—and the trying on of a shoe—Clayton can convince her to join him on the road to happily ever after.

The Armor of Light

The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business, all the while war cries are heard from France, as Napoleon sets forth a violent master plan to become emperor of the world. Ripples of change ricochet through our characters’ lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war.
