Book Description
Kylan Evenstar has known nothing other than the rough life of a lowly mercenary, having been raised by his Uncle Rusl, Commander of the Evenstar Mercenaries. The mercenary company is filled with eccentric, mischievous, but well-trained warriors and mages. Kylan himself-whose destiny is tied to a Goddess-a cursed half elf, three bastard brothers, shapeshifters, a deadly assassin, duelists, and many more. They bring bandits to justice, while seeking to keep the peace for the common folk in the Kingdom of Baldoa: a kingdom whose knights and ruling class only deem the lands of their noble lords' worthy of protecting.However, the Evenstar Mercenaries will soon be faced with far greater trials than escort missions and fending off bandits; for an unfavorable war threatens the Kingdom of Baldoa. The strain of a looming war forces the Baldoan Lords to call upon them to carry out an important mission, but a mysterious man, who seeks to restore an imprisoned Goddess, threatens to be their downfall. In this dark fantasy, in a land teeming with selfish lords, sadistic priests, cruel bandits, and the horrors of war, the Evenstar Mercenaries will have to learn how to fight like hell and become courageous in their own ways in order to fight for justice in an unjust land.

Choosing Courage
Author: Peter Collier
Publisher: Artisan Books
ISBN: 1579656609
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
How does an ordinary person become a hero? It happens in a split second, a moment of focus and clarity, when a choice is made. Here are the gripping accounts of Medal of Honor recipients who demonstrated guts and selflessness on the battlefield and confronted life-threatening danger to make a difference. There are the stories of George Sakato and Vernon Baker—both of whom overcame racial discrimination to enlist in the army during World War II (Sakato was a second-generation Japanese American, Baker an African American) and went on to prove that heroes come in all colors—and Clint Romesha, who led his outnumbered fellow soldiers against a determined enemy to prevent the Taliban from taking over a remote U.S. Army outpost in Afghanistan. Also included are civilians who have been honored by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation for outstanding acts of bravery in crisis situations, from a school shooting to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Adding depth and context are illuminating essays on the combat experience and its aftermath, covering topics such as overcoming fear; a mother mourning the loss of her son; and “surviving hell” as a prisoner of war.

Unlikely Heroes
Author: Jennifer S. Holland
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761174419
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
In her heartwarming New York Times bestsellers Unlikely Friendships and last year’s Unlikely Loves, Jennifer Holland revealed the surprising emotional bonds that exist between animals of different species. Her books spent dozens of weeks on bestseller lists and caught the attention of major media from CBS This Morning to USA Today. Why? Because she opened our eyes to the rich inner lives of animals, showing us that the power of love and friendship is not for humans only. In Unlikely Heroes, Ms. Holland uncovers and celebrates yet another side of animals that we often think belongs primarily to people—heroism, that indefinable quality of going above and beyond, often for altruistic reasons, often at great personal risk. These 37 inspiring true tales show animals whose quick acts have saved lives, like the pod of dolphins who protected swimmers in New Zealand from a great white shark by forming a screen around them. There are stories of animals who simply and unselfishly give, like Rojo the llama, who shines his very special light of lovingkindness on the elderly patients in an Oregon rehab center. And there are compelling stories of heroic resilience: like Naki’o, the abandoned puppy who lost all four paws to frostbite but found the grit not only to overcome that terrible hardship but to reclaim the joy of life—that’s him, smiling on the cover of the book.
