"Zia remembers the exact night the Shadoom arrived. One moment she was laughing with her best friends, and the next a dark room of shadows had crept into her chest ... Until Zia discovers an old family heirloom: the C. Scuro Dictionary ... Hidden within its magical pages is a mysterious blue eraser ... When Zia starts to erase words that remind her of the Shadoom, they disappear one by one from the world around her ... But things quickly dissolve into chaos, as the words she erases turn out to be more vital than Zia knew"-- Publisher's description

All goes according to plan until she collides with Prince Quin, the boy whose sister she killed.As Mia, Pilar, and Quin forge dangerous new alliances, they are bewitched by the snow kingdom's promise of freedom...but nothing is as it seems under the kingdom's glimmering ice.

After losing Angie, Mia and Pilar journey to the glass kingdom to seek help, though soon their fragile bonds of sisterhood begin to fray. Mia's sensations are creeping back, and with them, a searing grief.

Inventive and heart-racing, this fierce feminist teen fantasy from debut author Bree Barton explores a dark kingdom in which only women can possess magic—and every woman is suspected of having it. Fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor won’t want to miss this gorgeously written, bold novel, the first in the Heart of Thorns trilogy. In the ancient river kingdom, where touch is a battlefield, bodies the instruments of war, seventeen-year-old Mia Rose has pledged her life to hunting Gwyrach: women who can manipulate flesh, bones, breath, and blood. The same women who killed her mother without a single scratch. But when Mia's father suddenly announces her marriage to the prince, she is forced to trade in her knives and trousers for a sumptuous silk gown. Only, the wedding goes disastrously wrong, and Mia discovers she has dark, forbidden magic—the very magic she has sworn to destroy. Now, as she untangles the secrets of her past, Mia must learn to trust her heart…even if it kills her.

„Książka o konsekwencjach rewolucji w prawie wyborczym stanowiąca znakomity komentarz do wydarzeń z historii stosowania prawa wyborczego, a przede wszystkim do zmian wprowadzonych w ostatnich miesiącach, jest niezwykle potrzebna. Pokazuje bowiem te problemy, na które wyborca musi bardzo bacznie zwracać uwagę, by jego głos nie został wykorzystany w sposób nieuczciwy. Najważniejszy dla wyborów samorządowych, które odbędą się za kilka miesięcy, jest jednak udział Polaków w tych wyborach. Każdy z mieszkańców danej gminy, powiatu, województwa tworzy samorząd. Mamy jako samorządowcy wybierać naszych przedstawicieli do władz tego samorządu, a więc tych, którzy będą reprezentować nasze interesy. Nie ma żadnego usprawiedliwienia nieobecności w tych wyborach”. prof. Andrzej Zoll
