The only survivors are a pair of teen girls: Cora, daughter of a Duran newspaper man, and Vivienne, lady's maid to an Ariminthian princess. Neither has known a time when war between their two countries did not rage, but now they must learn to trust each other if they are to find sustenance, avoid dangerous pirates, and have any hope of rescue from the remote island they washed up on. However, in the midst of a conflict steeped in fierce national identity, propaganda, disinformation, and radicalization, finding a common path forward seems nearly impossible, for both Cora and Vivienne and their respective countries. But when the teens' politically charged rescue seems likely to extend the war, Cora and Vivienne realize they do have a shared purpose: peace. If only it isn't too late.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50513950965983,"sku":"9781536232387","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sLpU26ozN9781536232387.webp?v=1783011161"},{"product_id":"spindle-and-dagger-paperback","title":"Spindle and Dagger - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"This gritty narrative brings a little-known period in history to life. . . .

Three years ago, a warband raided Elen's home, killing both her elder and baby sister. Elen survived sexual assault, and when she saw a chance to live, she took it. She healed the wound of the war band's leader, Owain, and spun a lie: Owain ap Cadwgan, son of the king of Powys, cannot be killed, not by blade nor blow nor poison. He has the protection of Saint Elen, so long as he keeps her namesake near him and safe from harm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince then, Elen has had food, clothes, and a bed that she shares with the man who brought that warband to her door. But then Owain abducts Nest, the wife of a Norman lord, and her three children. War breaks out, and as her careful lies threaten to unravel, Elen looks to Nest and begins to imagine a different life--if she can decide, once and for all, where her loyalties lie. J. Anderson Coats's evocative prose immerses the reader in a dark, affirming tale of power and survival.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50513951850719,"sku":"9781536239867","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1DP6WDolVj9781536239867.webp?v=1783011166"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/j-anderson-coats.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
