Book Description
An epic clash of deities explores the two facets of pain—rage versus sadness—in this rousing followup to The Third Daughter, a dark crown fantasy duology with a sweeping sapphic romance. The centuries-old prophecy has been fulfilled at last: the New Maiden has returned to Velle. Unfortunately, so has a malicious demi-god, whose elusive prophet is intent on converting the New Maiden’s followers. The Second Son is a vengeful, angry deity, whose psalm resonates with the disenfranchised. With Elodie on the throne and Sabine in her own unique position of power, it should be easy enough to track down the culprit. Yet even as they're falling in love, both girls are keeping dangerous secrets from each other. While the cult of the Second Son threatens to overthrow not only the Church of the New Maiden but also Velle’s monarchy, Elodie and Sabine must navigate impossible odds to dismantle the root of his power, all while their lives hang in the balance. The Second Son is a must-read for fans of: BookTok Romantasy Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong Friends to Enemies / Betrayal Slow Burn Romance / One Bed

Book Description
In this new short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, available exclusively as an eBook, a young Jack Reacher knows how to finish a fight so it stays finished. He knows how to get the job done so it stays done. And, in one of his earliest challenges, he knows that his analytical brain is just as important as his impressive brawn. Okinawa, 1974. Even at thirteen, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit and overpower anyone who stands in his way. And as the new kid in town, that’s pretty much everyone. His family has come to the Pacific with his father, who’s preparing for a top-secret Marine Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from the local military brats, Reacher and his older brother, Joe, intend to teach them a lesson they won’t forget. But it’s soon clear that there’s more at stake than pride. When his family’s future appears to come crumbling down, it’s the youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion with all the decisive cunning and bravura that will one day be his deadly trademark. Second Son also includes a thrilling excerpt from Lee Child’s forthcoming novel, The Affair.

Book Description
"Second Son cannot be classified SIMPLY as a novel or a work of fiction. It is a prophetic inspiration ( whispered = DELETE) OF the Holy Spirit. Through it, in such a time as this, the Lord speaks, teaches, and reveals Himself to the searcher. For the Jew who has been taught not even to dare explore the possibility that Christ is his Messiah, it provides absolute proof. To the Catholic who has put his trust in "the church," it is an invitation to rethink the Bible's true teachings. To the purpose-driven Protestant, it establishes Jesus in His earthly deity and the cross as the restorer. To those who have heard but never sought the promise of eternal life, it is a revelation of scripture's main message-that Christ is the only way to God."-Bruce R. DeBaun, ThD What would you do if your brother began calling himself the Son of God? How would you balance family loyalty with your inability to accept his startling new ideas? James' concern for his brother increases as Pharisee opposition grows and the threat to (his brother= DELETE) Yeshua's safety becomes more critical. He sees the danger but cannot avert disaster. Overwhelmed by guilt and a sense of loss after his brother's death, James is without hope until a stranger arrives to change his life. In Second Son, author Edith DonDero explores James' unique perspective on Christ's private and public life.
