Book Description
They've been enemies their entire lives, their two kingdoms locked in a never-ending war-until an arranged marriage sparks a passion they can't ignore... To save her father's life, Princess Rose must wed the handsome, brooding wizard king Raith, her kingdom's greatest enemy. Though she always knew she'd be married off in a political alliance, she never expected it to be to that monster. Or that the only time she would see her elusive husband is when he's teaching her magic, treating her more like his student than his wife. King Raith may have taken a bride to end a war and protect his people, but after his former wife's murder he has no interest in falling in love again, especially when Rose defies him at every moment. But Rose's beauty and boldness tempt him to open his heart a second time, and every day it gets harder to resist her. Just as Rose begins to see another side to Raith, she discovers her new home holds deep, dark secrets that threaten the entire land, secrets no one dares speak of-and Raith is at the center of them. As their desire for each other grows, Rose will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about his past and the shadows spreading across the land. But when darkness threatens to tear them apart, they'll have to find a way to stop it together-or doom their kingdom forever. Beauty In Darkness is a steamy fantasy romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Amanda Bouchet, and Grace Draven.

Book Description
On the night of her twenty-ninth birthday, Edrea is brutally murdered. She awakens in her San Francisco studio as a bloodthirsty vampire with no memory of her death. Terrified of hurting innocent people, she nearly puts an end to her new existence; that is before she realizes there might be people the world can do without. Now immortal, Edrea finds she's caught in the middle of a war between two ancient vampire clans, the D�cret and the Shevet, and she has no idea who to trust. Then the frightful memory of her death returns, and she will ultimately have to choose between her humanity and cold-hearted murder. Her struggles only get harder when she must also leave her past life behind her in order to protect her family. Little does she know, her estranged, mortal sister Rena is on a dangerous quest in search of Edrea, whom is believed is merely "missing." While Rena struggles with insecurity and guilt, her obsession with finding Edrea comes between her and her own future, and especially the man she loves. Rena just can't let go of the feeling that Edrea is alive somewhere, and she isn't about to give up. As they follow their individual roads through life and the un-death, Edrea and Rena learn not only that their sisterly bond is stronger than they thought, but also that their family shares a dark secret that connects both of them to a mysterious quantum world. Amidst the chaos and adventure, the story will intrigue you with a scientific and philosophical theme that will keep you wondering until the end ... and maybe even after that.

Even in Our Darkness
Author: Jack S. Deere
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310538157
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"I am the descendant of drinkers and drifters better at passing on their love for the bottle than family history..." Prepare yourself for an unvarnished, harrowing look at one Christian's life. A powerful memoir of knowing and being known by God through the pain of loss, tragedy, and brokenness—Even in Our Darkness explores what it means to fend off doubt and despair, even in the most painful trials. Jack Deere tells the true story of his life growing up near Fort Worth, Texas in the 1950's and the disintegration of his family following his father's suicide. Despite his difficult childhood and an inclination toward the depression that had crushed his parents, Deere describes how he began to wrestle with Christianity and how "God was...slipping in through the crack of an open wound." In his mid-twenties, Jack rose to fame and success as a leading scholar, popular speaker, and bestselling author. But despite being rescued and exalted, Jack was devastated in the years that followed, losing his troubled son to suicide and his wife to alcoholism. Only then did he fully face his own addictions, surrender control, and experience true healing. An authentic story of the Christian life, Even in Our Darkness is like following an experienced guide through a barren country. Like many believers, Deere has had experiences that nearly destroyed him, and he was shown, by grace, how to overcome life's disappointments and learn to hear God speak in unbelievable ways, despite the darkness that surrounds us. "Unmasked, unsettling, and unforgettable . . . this will change the landscape of your soul." —Ann Voskamp, bestselling author of The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts.
