Book Description
Embrace the wonder "When Day and Night combine and fight against one Enemy, then Dark and Light shall meet mid-strike and set the Captives free." In the wake of loss and devastation, Alex must cast aside her grief to seek aid from those who banished the Meyarins long ago. But the proud Tia Aurans care little for the woes of mortals and demand that Alex-and her friends-undergo the Gates of Testing to prove their world is worth saving. With an ancient prophecy looming, Alex must confront the secrets of her past if she is to survive long enough to see the future. For if she returns to Medora without the Tia Aurans by her side, all hope for her world will be lost. In this explosive conclusion to The Medoran Chronicles, the fate of Medora hangs in the balance as Alex readies herself to face Aven one final time. Who will survive, and who will fall? "If, however, darkness wins, there is no strategy to keep from all that will be lost, and so will always be."

My 3 Heroes
Author: Eva Casino
Publisher: Trafford Publishing

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
My 3 Heroes is the story of one womans fiery determination to give her three brave, handicapped children the opportunity to live in peace, with dignity and to see them achieve far beyond the limits set for them by the social norms of their day. She shared a quality that her patron saint, Joan of Arc exemplified: a determination to realize her vision. In Evas case, it was to see two of her children reach a high level of education. She was undeterred when the minister of education told her they were unable to be educated, and some in the medical profession suggested she put them away, advising her not to become too attached. Evas story leads the reader through the setbacks and successes of her daughter Mary Ellens struggle to learn Braille, and eventually attain a degree in social work at York University. Pauls determination, like his sister, despite partial blindness and debilitating bone disease, led him to receive a music degree from the same university. At every step, Eva was there for her heroes. Ross, the frailest, required Eva to learn how to administer complex medications through the use of a syringe; thus giving Ross, who died at the age of seventeen, a longer than expected lifespan.

And when Zeus and his fellow Olympians encounter Cerberus—a snarling, three-headed dog—Hades must conquer his fears and tame the hound so everyone can continue into the Underworld and deposit their Titan prisoner, Oceanus, back where he belongs! But with magical water that causes forgetfulness, hot beds of lava, and another epic battle with two more Titans standing in their way, will Zeus and his heroes make it out of the Underworld with everyone intact?
