Durkin F: Myths and Legends

Myths and Legends

The Heroes, Gods and Monsters Who Shaped Our History

"Honest, informative, and stylish, this book&nbsp;made me grateful for the activism of the past and&nbsp;gave me courage for the fights to come!” —Maia Kobabe, author of&nbsp;Gender Queer: A Memoir&nbsp;"This book belongs in every bookstore, library, and educational establishment, and in the hands of every queer kid." —Mo B. Dick, Drag King legend and executive director of Drag King HistoryMore than a historical narrative, this story of queer identity interweaves the author's personal history, showing queerness as both a community endeavor and deeply personal journey. When Hazel was twelve years old, they came out as bisexual to their parents. At the time, they couldn’t have imagined who they are today: a nonbinary, transmasculine person in a loving queer relationship. In seeking to understand their own history, Hazel takes readers on a parallel journey through queer history—from the origins of Western concepts of sexual orientation, to the synthesis of hormones, to the evolution&nbsp;of trans health care. They unpack the economic&nbsp;underpinnings of gender roles. They dive into the origins behind our concept of “coming out,” the history of "female husbands," neopronouns, and the emergence of drag kings. &nbsp; As Hazel grows and changes, so does their understanding of those who came before them, and the interweaving of both narratives gives the reader a powerful entryway into not just Hazel's journey of self-actualization, but the queer community at large.

The Drowned Gods Trilogy

Students of magic grapple with secret societies, chaotic forces of destruction, and more in the gorgeous, New York Times bestselling Drowned Gods trilogy by Pascale Lacelle. The complete dark academia series is now available together in one hardcover boxed set! Emory might be a student at the prestigious Aldryn College for Lunar Magics, but her healing abilities have always been mediocre at best—until a treacherous night in the Dovermere sea caves leaves a group of her classmates dead and her as the only survivor. Now Emory is plagued by strange, impossible powers that no healer should possess. Powers that would ruin her life if the wrong person were to discover them. To gain control of these new abilities, Emory enlists the help of the school’s most reclusive student, Baz—a boy already well-versed in the deadly nature of darker magic, whose sister happens to be one of the drowned students and Emory’s best friend. Determined to find the truth behind the drownings and the cult-like secret society she’s convinced her classmates were involved in, Emory is faced with even more questions when the supposedly drowned students start washing ashore—alive—only for them each immediately to die horrible, magical deaths. From there, the secrets surrounding the school only get more entangled, until Emory, Baz, and their friends must traverse time and contend with vengeful deities to save themselves and the people they love. This spellbinding hardcover boxed set includes: Curious Tides Stranger Skies Infinite Shores
