Book Description
Luna is a normal girl who is taken one day and told that she is too powerful to be allowed to live. She does not understand this because to her, the only thing she is good at is bartending. However, she also knows that in times of stress, she grows vines from her skin. When she begins to ask questions, twin brothers arrive to save her, killing the majority of people in their path. They tell her that she can trust them and ask that she come with them to a safer location. They take her home to their triplet brother. They choose to reveal that they are the sons of Aphrodite and Apollo, each with their own set of powers. One of the men then explains to her that she is the long-lost daughter of Hades and Persephone and that the four of them are meant to be together. Theo, the most detached and impersonal of the three, struggles with his emotions and getting close to people. He constantly puts her down and is the hardest on her during training. Jaxon is the happiest, most carefree, and loving of the bunch, who takes to Luna immediately. He is the first person she trusts and is the person that she goes to for comfort. He is her rock. Asher, the most troubled of the three and who has been in love with Luna for longer than anyone else, struggles with the knowledge that he has of the future and constantly battles between reality and visions. He is the first to advocate for Luna. The fates give a prophecy that she is meant to be the one to take down Zeus once and for all. Luna must decide if she will fulfill her destiny or if she is going to let the world burn.

Pages : 529
Book Description
Many are called. Few answer. Slava thought that the hard part of her journey was over when she escaped giant wolves, angry bandits, and scheming sorcerers to make it to the Lesnograd kremlin. But the apparent safety of this outpost of civilization may be just an illusion. A curse has been let loose, one aimed straight at Slava’s family. Slava has always been a most unlikely hero. Now she must summon up all her courage in order to stop the curse—or perhaps she must, at the gods’ behest, be its bearer. The conclusion to the award-winning The Midnight Land I: The Flight, The Midnight Land II: The Gift continues the epic fantasy tale of one woman’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment against the backdrop of a matriarchal Slavic world. High fantasy that is deeply rooted in Slavic history, literature, and fairy tales, this subversive story with a satirical edge will appeal to fans of Slavic-themed fantasy such as Deathless, Egg and Spoon, and The Bear and the Nightingale, as well as readers of classical East European literature. Reading order for the Zemnian Series: The Zemnian Series: Slava’s Story The Midnight Land I: The Flight The Midnight Land II: The Gift The Zemnian Series: Dasha’s Story The Breathing Sea I: Burning The Breathing Sea II: Drowning The Zemnian Series: Valya’s Story The Dreaming Land I: The Challenge The Dreaming Land II: The Journey The Dreaming Land III: The Sacrifice

Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

ISBN: 1462881785
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Two lives, fated to interact in some violent way. That was the prediction that Richard Shawcross had been raised believing. He had learned that he and an unknown lady from a French Family would encounter each other in a violent situation in her twentieth year. That encounter would be the means of saving each other; but from what, had not been disclosed. Richard had forgotten all about the prophecy made at his birth, when he had briefly returned from the Continent and fighting Napoleon. That same night, on his way home for just the one night, he had blundered upon a robbery. Three men were striving to rob an older gentleman and his passenger; a young lady, until he had ridden out of the fog with his saber drawn and had summarily dealt with them. After the carriage and its passengers had gone, their rescuer discovered a strange talisman threaded on a green ribbon on the ground. The young lady had lost it. The coin matched one about his own neck, and exactly matched another that his older sister had also been given. They were all part of that same prophecy from many years earlier. Then, two years later, another fate intervenes. In an act of revenge upon one villainous family, for what has happened to his sister, he kidnaps the daughter of the family from her bed in the dead of night. When he confronts her with the reality of her circumstance and what is to be her fate at his hands, she responds in a way that astounds him. This was not the person he had expected to be faced with, but someone else altogether. He begins to recognize that he must rapidly re-evaluate what his options are to save her from the situation that now faces them both. However, the matter is taken from his hands when a knife wound she had inflicted upon him overcomes him and strands them both in a remote mansion; she, knowing little of what has happened to bring about her violent abduction, and he, lying unconscious on the floor and likely to die without her assistance.
