*A story where celestial beings dominate the universe, from protectors to destroyers, and all life in between. One ancient celestial, in particular, creates a new bond that will shake the universe for eons, affecting all mortals and immortals alike. Wings of the Ominous is a new, ever-expanding, epic fantasy.* When you have an eternity of time, there is little room for surprises. But for Ahzrael, new events are about to shake his everlasting life. In a universe filled with a multitude of planes, realms, and worlds, resides a group of powerful beings that observe it all. The Diuxals. They wait, century after century, for the Evils that threaten worlds across the galaxies, hungry for sentient life. Among Ahzrael’s time in the stars, an unexpected opportunity falls into his lap. He finds himself in the presence of a weakened yet powerful rival. His people want her dead. She’s an abomination. But he sees a once in an eternity chance and keeps her alive. It’s a chance for his people to finally rest. To quench the flames of a long war. A chance for personal redemption. Some opportunities, however, have unforeseen, unforgiving consequences. And this intriguing ancient enemy, turned ally, has many surprises. In Ahzrael’s long life, the threads of the universe have never been this uncertain. Wings of the Ominous is the first book in the Ominous Series.

Book Description
“O’Dell could be Reacher’s long-lost twin.” —Lee Child Rediscover where it all began for Maggie O’Dell in this intense thriller by New York Times bestselling author Alex Kava. On July 17, a convicted serial killer, Ronald Jeffreys was executed for three heinous murders. He went to his grave with a terrible truth no one would listen to. Three months later another body is found killed in the same style as Jeffreys’ victims. Sheriff Nick Morelli knows he isn’t equipped to handle the killer who is terrorizing his small Nebraska community. He’s grateful when the FBI sends one of their best criminal profilers, special agent Maggie O’Dell. Maggie quickly recognizes this is someone who has killed before. When another victim is found dead and a third kidnapped, Nick and Maggie realize they’re running out of time. And the terrible truth becomes clear. Ronald Jeffreys may have been convicted of crimes he didn’t commit. Originally published in 2000 “Meet Kava’s FBI special agent Maggie O’Dell. But beware—it could be the start of a new addiction.” —Peterborough Evening Telegraph, UK “Kava’s writing is reminiscent of Patricia Cornwell in her prime.” —Mystery Ink “This debut thriller pumps the suspense out. Maggie is gutsy and appealing as an FBI agent facing constant danger.” —Library Journal “Kava proves her mastery of the thriller.” —BookPage

Pages : 353
Book Description
Ayn Rand chose Leonard Peikoff to be her successor as the spokesman for Objectivism. And in this brilliantly reasoned, thought-provoking work we learn why, as he demonstrates how far America has been detoured from its original path and led down the same road that Germany followed to Nazism. Self-sacrifice, Oriental mysticism, racial "truth," the public good, doing one's duty—these are among the seductive catch-phrases that Leonard Peikoff dissects, examining the kind of philosophy they symbolize, the type of thinking that lured Germany to its doom and that he says is now prevalent in the United States. Here is a frightening look at where America may be heading, a clarion call for all who are concerned about preserving our right to individual freedom.

Book Description
My name is Lady Aithera Kilbray. I am the Heart of the Dragon Back Valley, and one of the Guardians of the Dragon Back Castle. I thought I was the last Kilbray, but now I know that is not the case and the Kilbray line will continue when the time is right. To my close friends and family though, I am still only Tera, but my life continues to be anything but ordinary. Aithera and Jira decide to stay in the Dragon Back Valley. This decision causes confusion and uncertainty in others. Solen departs when he believes he is doing more harm than good, and Aithera accepts what she believes is a future of pain that duty and honor bring with that decision. By staying in the valley, Aithera is hidden and safe, but when she leaves to visit her friends in a small settlement near Haulden, a new menace shows himself -- someone from her past that promises to harm her friends to get to her. Jira learns from visiting her family that there is a secret about her mother's origins -- a secret confirmed by an unexpected source -- that reveals she is more than just a mere farm girl. This news sends her on a journey of discovery that brings on more surprises. While Jira is on her quest, Aithera decides that she must become the hunter instead of the hunted. When she finally confronts the one from her past, she gets answers that are very painful and not what she was expecting. Aithera survives the encounter, and when she and Jira return to the valley, they each have surprises of their own. Devon reveals the truth about Aithera's origins, and with this newfound knowledge, she sets out to mend the pain and seek the happiness she longs for with the one who stubbornly resists any return to the valley.
