Book Description
"The Lucasfilm-esque milieu, blending magic with exobiology, astrophysics, and a painless layering of multiculturalism, is a tantalizing one. Portman adds a layer of emotion via Olive's struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety... A superhero creator's angst-y perils make this tale a strong start to a space saga." -- Kirkus Reviews A teen at war with her mind. A planet at war with its suns. Can Olive become the hero of her own story? Olive Joshi is an imaginative sixteen-year-old with OCD. She checks and double-checks that the stove burners are off, avoids driving for fear of causing an accident, and constantly worries about hurting the people she loves. Olive finds refuge from her anxiety in writing stories about Coseema, a magical princess on the distant planet Lyria. Coseema is fearless, confident, powerful, and perfect -- everything Olive thinks she'll never be. When she falls through a portal into her own abandoned story, Olive finds herself in a world in peril: double suns scorch the planet, the brutal Prince Burnash seeks supreme power, and Coseema has gone into hiding. Bringing back her heroine might be Olive's only hope of saving Lyria and finding her way home. But when her attempt to summon Coseema goes horribly wrong, it's Olive who must flee for her life. Together with her friends -- a bold and powerful poet, a handsome but cursed musician, a renegade soldier with a troubled past, and an adventurous girl from the desert -- Olive must face her deepest fears to escape Burnash's tyranny. With the fate of a star system on the line, can Olive find the hero in herself? The Twin Stars is an engrossing new portal fantasy in the spirit of the Wizard of Oz, the Neverending Story, and the Chronicles of Narnia, with a dash of Star Wars and a sprinkling of Dune. Fans of space fantasy, coming-of-age adventures, unexpected twists and turns, and novels about mental health and self-confidence will love this unique tale about facing what frightens us most. What readers are saying: ★★★★★ "Portman executes a marvelous debut novel, one which will have readers clamoring for installment number two immediately!" -- Amazon review ★★★★★ "A book that will be cherished." -- Amazon review ★★★★★ "A gripping sci-fi fantasy with powerful themes and high stakes... The second book in this series can't come soon enough! I'm hooked!" -- Amazon review ★★★★★ "Portman does a brilliant job helping the reader experience what it is like to have OCD. It truly is a wonderful representation." -- Goodreads review ★★★★★ "I. NEED. BOOK. TWO." -- Goodreads review

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
In his past life, Chou Sekiei was the undefeated war hero Kou Eihou—no pressure, right? Now, a thousand years later, all he wants is to get a nice, cushy job as a civil official and build a quiet life for himself. Too bad that he still has fighting prowess he can’t explain. Too bad that as a child, he was taken in by a renowned general and trained alongside Chou Hakurei, famed for her talent and beauty. Too bad that he’s gotten into rescuing pretty (and pretty immature) merchant prodigies. Sekiei was really looking forward to some peace and quiet so he could kick back and read, but when the foreign nation of Gen launches an invasion that triggers war, he’s forced to put his books down. With the power of skills he’d hoped never to put to use again, Sekiei will once more have to make a name on the battlefield... Will he and his friends be enough to save their homeland?

Book Description
Sekiei and Hakurei have successfully fended off Gen’s assault on Keiyou, but the situation remains dire for the Ei Empire. The country’s former ally Seitou has joined the enemy, and now the western border stands open and hostile. With tensions continuing to rise and infighting commonplace within the capital’s courts, invading Seitou—however inadvisable—has become inevitable. A strategist to devise tactics and navigate the political waters is sorely needed, so when the self-professed ascendant who helped Meirin unearth the Heavenly Swords arrives in Keiyou, the answer has practically fallen into Sekiei’s lap...or so it would seem, were she not absolutely against participating in war. With the odds stacked against them and the armies from Gen and Seitou looming, Sekiei knows that Ei’s and the Chou family’s soldiers will need it all—Ruri’s wisdom, Hakurei’s leadership, and Meirin’s connections, along with his own strength and skill—if any of them are to survive the upcoming battle.

The Twin Enigma
Author: Vivienne Lewin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429922558
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The book offers a unique in-depth understanding of the twin relationship, and the way in which twin development is affected by our attitudes to twins and our enduring fascination with them. It explores our historical fascination with this subject and the origins of this excitement, how our perceptions of twins reflect our own longing for a perfect soul-mate, and the effect this personal projection has on the development in twins. It is a book written with the general reader in mind rather than "experts". Twins share a deep psychic bond that forms the core of their twinship, but they are never identical. Many factors will affect their development, including the early mutual resonances and sensate experiences between them, and parental and societal attitudes in raising them.
