Hardback. Condición: Fair. *Nebula Award Nominee* "This novel effortlessly ascends to the heights of Mount Olympus. Tough and tender and bittersweet. Wearing the Lion establishes Wiswell firmly on the new fantasy landscape." --T. Kingfisher, Hugo Award-winning author of Nettle & Bone "Wiswell makes something new and thrilling--and funny and wrenching and tender--out of a very old myth." --Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Book of Love Nebula Award-winning author of Someone You Can Build a Nest In John Wiswell brings a humanizing and humorous touch to the Hercules story, forever changing the way we understand the man behind the myth--and the goddess reluctantly bound to him Sometimes a goddess's worst enemy is her biggest fan. Heracles, hero of Greece, dedicates all his feats to the goddess Hera. If only he knew that his very face is an insult to her.as he is yet another child that Hera's dipshit husband, Zeus, had out of wedlock.

Plunged into grief and desperate for revenge, Heracles is determined to find the god that did this.  Wracked with guilt and desperate to save face, Hera distracts Heracles with monster-slaying quests, only to find that he is too traumatized to enact more violence.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Nebula and Locus Award Winner! Hugo Award Nominee An NPR, Washington Post, Book Riot, Library Journal and Audible Best Book of 2024! "This novel is monstrously perfect, in every way" --P. Djèlí Clark for The New York Times "This unusual queer romance is a heartfelt fable about disability and the possibility of reconciling conflicting needs through love and understanding." --The Guardian "Sweetly furious, darkly funny, and gruesomely wholesome. It's a love story for the unloved, a happily-ever-after with a higher-than-average body count. I just adored it." --Alix E. Harrow, New York Times-bestselling author of Starling House Shesheshen has made a mistake fatal to all monsters: she's fallen in love. Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen's nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen's eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn't an option. Just as Shesheshen's about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she's hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere? Shesheshen didn't curse anyone, so now she has to figure out why Homily's twisted family thinks she did. As Shesheshen's hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly, the bigger challenge remains: learning how to build a life with, rather than in, the woman she loves. "A stealthily funny, slyly smart, and remarkably touching story. Its wisdom will creep up on you as surely as your affection for its monstrous main character."--Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of When Among Crows.…
