Book Description
Once, there was a war against black magic in a Kingdom facing a civil strife. Rebels gathered to fight, provoked by a corrupt ruler. When the oppression ended, a hero left behind a legacy. Years later, history repeats itself when a King dies. Having no relatives, a former disciple of the King’s, claims to be the successor. His rivals were outraged by the outcome. So once again, the civil war broke out. When warriors discover the secrets behind the war, their struggles peaked. Their enemies become overwhelming with the use of sorcery. Wizards offer their services as mercenaries in the conflict. However, what worsened the situation was a corrupt legacy. There were eleven ancient magic swords that chose its wielders. Each one had a unique ability, but all are instruments of destruction. One warrior found a sword that can reflect magic. It was made to destroy the ancient swords. Cornered by sorcery, how will he level the playing field with all that he had?

The Trap
Author: Daniel Brook
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429912766
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"Takes dead aim at the conservative economic consensus that has dominated U.S. politics . . . Biting and necessary."—The American Prospect In this provocative, witty, and revealing polemic, Daniel Brook's The Trap argues that the exploding income gap—a product of the conservative ascendance—is systematically dismantling the American dream, as debt-laden, well-educated young people are torn between their passions and the pressure to earn six-figure incomes. Rising education, housing, and health-care costs have made it virtually impossible for all but the corporate elite to enjoy what were once considered middle-class comforts. Thousands are afflicted with a wrenching choice: take up residence on America's financial and social margins or sell out. And it's not just impoverished teachers and social workers, struggling to pay their rent, who are hurt. From the activist who works to give others a living wage but isn't paid one himself, to the universal health-care advocate who becomes a management consultant for Big Pharma, Brook presents a damning indictment of the economic and political landscape that traps young Americans. When the best and the brightest cannot afford to serve the public good, Brook asks, what are we selling out: an individual's career, or the very promise of American democracy?

Book Description
With lots of fun banter and quippy dialogue, Ghosting: A Love Story is for readers looking for the wit and heart of Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella with the romance of You've Got Mail plus a savvy digital take on modern love a la Alisha Rai. “A sweet, genuinely funny, banter-filled delight of a rom-com.” —Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks Online Dating Ghostwriting Rules to Live by: · Do not present a “perfect” image. No one will trust it. Nor should they. · Think of your quirks—such as cosplaying B-movies from the 1980s—as a “Future Honesty.” Save these as a reward only for those who prove worthy. · Never remind the client you’re their voice. Once you’ve attracted a good match, let the client take over ASAP. Dumped by his fiancée, not only is Miles couch-surfing across New York City, but downsizing has forced him to set up shop at a local café. Also, he no longer believes in love. Not a good look in his line of work…helping people find love as a ghostwriter for a failing dating site. Zoey’s eccentric L.A. boss sent her packing to New York to “grow.” But beneath her chill Cali demeanor, Zoey’s anxiety makes her terrified to venture beyond the café across the street into the big city… Finding themselves competing for space at Café Crudite, the only thing Miles and Zoey think they share is their daily battle for last day-old biscotti and a mutual dislike of each other. They don’t know they’re both writers, creating “authentic” profiles for rival online dating services. They think they have absolutely nothing in common. . . . until they meet anonymously online while pretending to be their clients and sparks fly. As they become more deeply connected online, their mistaken identities get more complicated when their clients experience a dating disaster IRL. Once they find out their lives have crossed in more ways than one, will their online connection be the real thing—or vanish into the ether? “Skilton puts a multicultural millennial spin on You’ve Got Mail in this laugh-out-loud romance. Solid laughs…rom-com fans will find this one well worth their time.” —Publishers Weekly "A light, hip, and humorous romance, perfect for stressful times." —Booklist “Skilton puts a multicultural millennial spin on You’ve Got Mail in this laugh-out-loud romance.” —Publishers Weekly "Sweet and funny." —Shelf Awareness “Cyrano de Bergerac meets classic rom-com banter...An energetic romance that would make Nora Ephron proud.” —Kirkus Reviews
