Book Description
Bloodied and scattered but still unbroken, the Knights Corporealis have one last option left to stop Balavad from conquering Vinnr—they may have to destroy it themselves. Book Four, the final story in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest. Ulfric and Symvalline narrowly survived Balavad’s attempt to take over the realm of Arc Rheunos, and now find some relief in seeing their daughter Isemay adopt a new life there. If their hopes are answered, it will be a safe one. But hope is a fickle thing. Jaemus Bardgrim, on the other hand, remains the Cosmos’s most reluctant hero. With the aid of someone quite unexpected, he resumes his quest to save Himmingaze from the Glister Cloud’s looming annihilation. Yet, none of them can escape the real threat. Vinnr, and one way or another the Great Cosmos, lies at destruction’s doorstep, approaching its final defeat by Balavad’s cruelest Ravener army of all, the enslaved people of Dyrrakium. In The Shackled Verities’ final story, the Knights Corporealis go to war against dragørs, Verities, and time itself. They and their few remaining allies must rally for one last fight against Balavad the usurper. Some do it for hope, some for family, some for redemption, but in the end, they all face one truth: a human life is no match for the eternal power of a celestial. If they are very, very lucky, one Knight's sacrifice may be. What people are saying about the Shackled Verities Series: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this epic series.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Compelling plot, intriguing characters and a pretty spectacular world.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Such a fantastic ride for this new promising series.... cannot recommend this enough!!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “… a brilliantly executed novel.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Honestly I’d read a grocery list if Ms. Salyer wrote it.” The Shackled Verities Series: A Knight's Calling: A Shackled Verities Story Knight Chosen: The Shackled Verities (Book One) Knight Redeemed: The Shackled Verities (Book Two) Knight Exiled: The Shackled Verities (Book Three) Knight Awoken: The Shackled Verities (Book Four)

Book Description
Exiled to a foreign realm, chased and imprisoned by a corrupted enemy, lost to their companions in Vinnr, Symvalline and Isemay have nothing but their wits and will to survive…and the secret to saving the Cosmos. Book Three in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest. After Balavad’s attack in Vinnr, all thought Symvalline and Isemay dead. They were wrong. Delivered through a starpath to a realm with three moons and a wystic forest of living stone, the lost mother and daughter arrive during the quiet of night along the banks of peaceful river. For the moment, they are safe. But this deceptive serenity is about to change… Hunted and pursued, Symvalline and Isemay are separated. Imprisoned by distrusting foreigners, Symvalline discovers that in a few days’ time, the realm of Arc Rheunos will be ripped apart by a rivalry hundreds of turns in the making, a rivalry she and her daughter have nothing to do with. A rivalry that was, she is certain, caused by Balavad. A war and devastating plague loom on the horizon, and if the malicious Verity wins, another Verity’s realm could be lost. With the fates of Isemay and Vinnr still unknown, Symvalline is faced with an impossible choice. Either she must turn away from her oath to serve the Verities and find her lost daughter, or she must join the fight to stop Balavad and his vendetta to enslave all the peoples of the Great Cosmos.

The fate of this world may rest on our shoulders today. A COSMOS DIVIDED. AN ENDLESS WAR. ONLY THE KNIGHTS STAND AGAINST ANNIHILATION. Epic battles rage across the five realms of the Great Cosmos as humans fight celestials for their very survival in this expansive dark fantasy saga. The Knights of Vinnr once served the celestials blindly, but now wage an endless war to protect the realms from annihilation. Led by the disillusioned Ulfric Aldinhuus, the Knights Corporealis seize the celestials' own weapons to push back against conquest and enslavement. But with betrayals rocking the Knights from within and new threats emerging from every side, defeat looms. From the capital city of Vinnr to the wystic forests of Arc Rheunos, follow the journeys of leader Ulfric, fierce warrior Mylla, and unlikely hero Jaemus. United by sword and faith, they must rally old alliances and new ones to defy corruption, uncover ancient secrets, and spark revolution across the stars. Even if it means destroying everything they swore to protect.

Book Description
Plagued with a responsibility to his creator he never wanted or asked for, Ulfric and the Knights Corporealis are forced to face a new enemy…and one of their oldest companions. Book Two in the Shackled Verities Series. An epic fantasy with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing adventure. Still shackled to his celestial creator Vaka Aster, Ulfric can take a moment of solace in knowing his world is safe from the usurper, and the Knights can mourn their lost companion. Their peace, however, is short-lived. Arch Keeper Beatte is a querulous monarch. When she demands more from Vaka Aster than she’s owed, Ulfric has to decide whether to reveal his new but unsought power and take his place as the leader the people of Vinnr seek, or to abandon them completely in their desperate struggles. That choice is made for him when betrayer Knight Eisa Nazaria of Dyrrakium returns and reveals a historic deception…and an even greater threat. The exiled empire of Dyrrakium and its thousands of warriors now await Ulfric’s command to conquer the rest of Vinnr. If he refuses, what price will he pay? If he capitulates, what blood will be on his hands? And if Balavad returns, how will the vulnerable and deeply divided realm possibly face the usurper a second time? But what if Balavad never left… What people are saying about the Shackled Verities Series: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this epic series.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Compelling plot, intriguing characters and a pretty spectacular world.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Such a fantastic ride for this new promising series.... cannot recommend this enough!!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “… a brilliantly executed novel.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Honestly I’d read a grocery list if Ms. Salyer wrote it.” The Shackled Verities Series: A Knight's Calling: A Shackled Verities Story Knight Chosen: The Shackled Verities (Book One) Knight Redeemed: The Shackled Verities (Book Two) Knight Exiled: The Shackled Verities (Book Three) Knight Awoken: The Shackled Verities (Book Four) Fans of the following authors may also enjoy this epic fantasy series: A.C.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Book Description
Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.

Book Description
Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."

Book Description
This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim -- despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of "classics," adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her Subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.
