Book Description
Evie just might be what the world needs to restore balance between the celestials and demons and put an end to the war. Or she might be the very thing which will destroy them all. For a millennium, war has ravaged the Borderlands. The Celestials’ blood wards the only thing that stands between the gateways to the realms and the demons’ conquest to unleash another Time of Chaos. For this reason, it is forbidden to breed with the demons. Allowing an infernal—half-blood children—to live is punishable by death. Serena knows this, but when a mysterious force bonds her with a demon prince, she can no more deny him than she could her own soul. And she will do everything to protect the child born to her and give her a chance at life, even if her own would be forfeit. *** All Evie ever wanted was to belong, to have a family, and to be normal. But normal isn't the life of an infernal, let alone one who can't control her budding magic. Hunted at every turn, she must find a way to either embrace her growing power or be consumed by it—becoming the monster everyone believes her to be, or worse—a weapon for the demon lords. A fallen star’s magic rips Evie from her life, revealing the dark secrets of her true nature—and the demands of a goddess. She must travel to the Abyss, into the heart of the demon realms, to save her father. Her only hope of success lies in secrecy and learning to trust her awakening magic—the very magic which threatens not only herself, but everyone she loves. *** Emotional attachments have no place in Cain’s world. He is darkness. He is death. As a demonkin the world hates him, and violence follows him. Never backing from a fight, he embraces this reality. Thriving in it. Strengthened by it. The day will come when he faces the demon who had hurt his mother—and this time he will kill him. When the fates put Evie on his destructive path, he can’t fight the long-buried emotions she reawakens in his hardened heart. But she comes with the unreasonable demands of a goddess he had sworn to hate. Will his need for revenge push Evie away forever, or can he overcome the demons of his past to protect their future—and her? *** Star Found is an epic romantic fantasy adventure of two people finding themselves in a world that hates them simply for being born. They must learn to trust each other and rely on one another to overcome the odds and face not only the monstrous demons of the Abyss but also the demons of their pasts. If they don’t, the fate of not only their hearts but also the entire realm is at stake. If you love books about outcasts finding their place in the world, soulmates, redemption, and forbidden love with broody heroes and shy heroines who fight side-by side to save the world, you will love Star Found! Immerse yourself in the world of the Tri-realms! A high epic fantasy world filled with monsters, magic, a sword fight or two, and swoon-worthy steamy romance. IMPORTANT: THIS NOVEL CONTAINS MATURE SUBJECT-MATTER INTENDED FOR ADULT AUDIENCES.

The Day We Found the Universe
Author: Marcia Bartusiak

Book Description
The riveting and mesmerizing story behind a watershed period in human history, the discovery of the startling size and true nature of our universe.

Hubble’s proclamation sent shock waves through the scientific community. Six years later, in a series of meetings at Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble and others convinced Albert Einstein that the Universe was not static but in fact expanding.

Star Tales
Author: Ian Ridpath
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 0718894782
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Every night, a pageant of Greek mythology circles overhead. Perseus flies to the rescue of Andromeda, Orion faces the charge of the snorting Bull, and the ship of the Argonauts sails in search of the Golden Fleece. Constellations are the invention of human imagination, not of nature. They are an expression of the human desire to impress its own order upon the apparent chaos of the night sky. Modern science tells us that these twinkling points of light are glowing balls of gas, but the ancient Greeks, to whom we owe many of our constellations, knew nothing of this. Ian Ridpath, award-winning astronomy writer and popularizer, has been intrigued by the myths of the stars for many years. Star Tales is the first modern guide to combine all the fascinating myths in one book, illustrated with the beautiful and evocative engravings from two of the leading star atlases: Johann Bode’s Uranographia of 1801 and John Flamsteed’s Atlas Coelestis of 1729. This classic book, now in a revised and expanded edition, presents additional information on the constellations with new and enchanting illustrations. For anyone interested in the stars and classical mythology, for anyone who is an armchair astronomer, this is the perfect gift.
