Still mourning her mother's death, Yeine Darr receives an unexpected summons from the royal city of Sky, the center of authority for the rough-around-the-edges kingdom that she calls home.

Suddenly Yeine must defend herself and her newfound power against conniving politicians and greedy family members she never knew she had.

Tom Stoppard and Douglas Weston - Tom Stoppard's Arcadia
$5.85 - $11.38 at 3 store(s)
Tom Stoppard's play primarily concerns Thomasina Croom, a brilliant 13-year-old who is searching for the proof to Fermat's theorem, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the rudiments of what we now know as chaos theory. All the while, her mother is pursuing Lord Byron, a guest at their estate, while her tutor is pursuing the wife of another visiting poet. While there are many comic moments throughout, and Stoppard's nearly Shakespearean love of puns is quite in evidence, the play verges on tragedy.
