Sofia is a young princess who lives under the curse of an evil witch. The curse would bring great despair to not only the princess, but also the kingdom's people, should she wander into the castle's rose garden. The only ones that can reverse the spell are the fairies...but, no one knows their whereabouts! As long as she stays out of the rose garden, everything will be fine, right? Sophia knows the rules but, one day, a butterfly lands on her hand, trapped in the castle. Feeling sympathetic, she wanders outside to free it, and finds herself in the rose garden. As foretold, thorny vines sprout everywhere and begin to overtake the garden and castle. Everything seems to get bigger to Sophia and she realizes that she is shrinking. Before she knows it, she turns into a butterfly! When she's told that the curse will be permanent should she fail to reverse the spell by nightfall, Sophia starts to worry. Even though being a butterfly is fun, she knows she can't live like this forever. She'd never be able to see her parents again if she did! With newfound vigour, she embarks on a journey with a group of friendly critters in search of the fairies. However, dusk is approaching quickly...will she find the elusive fairies in time?

Akasha is a precocious young girl with dreams of motherhood. She lives in a fantastical world where most of the oceans circulate in the aquamarine sky waters. Before she was born, the Helios, a tribe of angels from the sun, came to Earth to deliver the Surge, the next step in the evolution of an embryonic human race. Instead they spawned a race of hybrids and infected humanity with a hybrid seed. Horque manifests on Earth with another tribe of angels, the Solarii, to rescue the genetic mix-up and release the Surge. Akasha embarks on a journey from maiden to mother and from apprentice to priestess then has a premonition that a great flood is imminent. All three races – humans, hybrids and Solarii – face extinction. With their world in crisis, Akasha and Horque meet, and a sublime love flashes between them. Is this a cause of hope for humanity and the Solarii? Or will the hybrids destroy them both? Will anyone survive the killing waters of the coming apocalypse?

First edition of Sinclair's savage satire, loosely based on the life and career of Edward L. Doheny, and the Teapot Dome scandal of the Harding administration. Although Sinclair's famous novel The Jungle deals with Chicago's meatpacking industry, he moved west to Pasadena in 1916 and began writing novels set in California, the best of which was Oil!, the story of the education of Bunny Ross, son of wildcat oil man Joe Ross after oil is discovered outside Los Angeles. The novel was the basis for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film There Will Be Blood. In California Classics, Lawrence Clark Powell called Oil! "Sinclair's most sustained and best writing."
