Book Description
From Award winning author, Ellie Raine, comes the exciting Epic Finale of her Necromancer "Sword and Sorcery" Fantasy Series, the NecroSeam Chronicles. The End of Existence is near. Prophecy says only the ShadowBlood can stop it. But what if the prophecy is wrong? What if the ShadowBlood twins will actually be the ones who destroy the world? With the Death King now dead, the crown has been passed to Willow and Xavier. It's time to return to Grim and claim the throne. Their journey home takes a detour to the Gyle Islands with Queen Anabelle where the Land's realm's relic, the Blossom of Gold, is hidden. But the Lightcaster has kidnapped the young Ocean Prince Fuérr and dragged him back to his home in Marincia. Macarius plans to barter the boy's life in exchange for the location of the Ocean realm's relic, the Pearl of Emerald. Xavier and Alexander, who already possess the magic Hallows from Dream, Ocean, and Sky, are reluctant to gain more Hallows, afraid that they will be the ones to bring the End of Existence. But the brothers can't afford to quit no. For if Macarius beats them to the relics, he will destroy the ones they love. The Shadowblood champions only pray they've made the right choice! Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey with epic adventures, thrilling action, addictive world-building, intricate magic systems, and unpredictable plots. Blossom of Gold is the explosive conclusion to the NecroSeam Chronicles series you won't want to miss! ***** Five Star Review from Readers' Favorite Blossom of Gold is a work of epic fantasy fiction with plenty of action and conceptual delights and was penned by author Ellie Raine. The fifth and final novel in the NecroSeam Chronicles series,this ending to the saga contains some mild profanity and graphic violence, which makes it largely suitable to adult and mature YA readers alike. In this darkly conceptualized world, we are introduced to Reapers and the undead alike - though the undead are mutated demons from whom the seam of life (the titular NecroSeam) has been left uncut. Theundead are about to be unwittingly enslaved to fight a war that could bring about the End of Existence, with twins Xavier and Alexander standing right in their path. Author Ellie Raine has developed a truly superb and fully engrossing fantasy world like nothing I've ever read before. The concept of Grim Reapers and undead demons may not seem new, but through Raine's intelligent revisioning and extensive work in lore and world building,this world filled with dark realms, nature, life, and death is one that is completely realized and totally unique. The action for twin brothers Xavier and Alexander comes thick and fast as the end draws near, and the use of prophecy and magical quests feels apt and authentic, not trope-like or overdone. This makes for a truly compelling adventure novel with dark twists everywhere, and some truly frightening images that stay with you long after reading. Overall, Blossom of Gold is a superb work that is highly recommended for fantasy fans everywhere. Review by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Book Description
A time of discord, a magic unveiled, a prophecy soon to be fulfilled. The future of Nirus is looking grim. The surface realm’s civil war is raging as rumors spread that their lost Relicblood will return. A new war involving the five realms threatens the fragile balance of this world. Even the Demon kingdoms are fighting amongst themselves. And in the middle are twin reapers, destined for something, if only they knew what it was. After six years trapped inside his twin, Xavier’s soul is finally back in his own body, although his long years in a mindless coma has left him extremely weak. Princess Willow is thrilled to have her fiancé back, but her duties as the Dealth realm’s emissary takes precedence, now that the war has intensified. The twins set sail with Willow on a diplomatic mission to the icy mountains of the Ocean realm, continuing on to the Neverland continent, unaware of the trap the new queen has in store for them. During the long voyage, the reapers are joined by the royal heirs of all five realms, including a Relicblood who should not even exist. And it’s the Shadowblood twins they are counting on. For it has been foretold that when the time comes, these dual champions will be powerful protectors of the true Relicbloods. And that time is almost here.

Book Description
A curious relic from a once popular philosophy of Bible interpretation that combined astrology with eschatology, this bizarrely fascinating work, first published in 1919, purports to explain the entire contents of the Good Book via the Zodiac. LUDWIG B. LARSEN (1864-1929), about whom little is known today, discusses how his unique perspective relates to: . God's laws . the end of time . the ages of the heaven and earth . 6,000 years of recorded history . Bible prophecies . the "twelve tribes of the United States" . the truth of Mormonism . and more. Complete with all of the original charts and diagrams, this will intrigue readers of religious ephemera.
