The nightingale's tooth : a novel / by McBride, Sally,1950-author.(CARDINAL)862089;
"France, 13th century. Near the shores of the Mediterranean lives Vara Svobodová with her father, a prominent merchant, his barbarian wife, and her scientist father. Though the shadowy gazes of Great Gods and the greedy hands of local lord Petru Dominus hang over them, Vara lives a comfortable life. That all changes when she learns that she is da resu, destined to life after death and servitude of her unearthly powers to he who slays her. Rumours of her true nature catch the attention of the increasingly mad Lord Petru, who covets power, has aspirations for the throne, and desires a resura of his own. Surrounded by spies, plagued with inexplicable visions, and trapped in the only home she has ever known, Vara finds the ambitions of those around her as sharp as the fabled nightingale's tooth. Caught in the middle, she realizes that it is her fate to die. But who will hold her leash when she does?"--

The cabin at the end of the world : a novel / by Tremblay, Paul,author.(CARDINAL)355753;
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world." Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined.
