Reality wasn't what it seemed. For me, that day, it would all come crashing down. This world was drowning in secrecy and sorrow. Soon, I'd discover these mysteries. And why those who I'd grown to love wanted me dead. The High Priestess, Maunia Nguyen, hid a secret the Nocturnus Pinnacle did everything to suppress. The Courting bloodline was real, and I stood at the center of it. The laws of nature were crumbling around me as mystical beings beyond my understanding enticed me to seek a hidden power within myself that could bring down the Supreme Sovereign's tyrannical rule over my people. All of that, however, would be in vain. Everything I'd suffered would mean nothing in the face of a higher calling granted to me billions of years before my birth. Destiny was beckoning. The voices of the Seraph and the Vampyre would seek our unification. An all-consuming light that would bring the formation of something I never knew existed. Should I leave this world behind to pursue my fate? Or, should I defy the powers that be to save my world from ruin? The apple was to given to me by the serpent Apep, and with it, a choice. The decision I made would determine the creation or destruction of worlds. It all rested with me—Niya Courting—the Human.

From the author of Romancing the Running Back and the First to Fight series comes the latest in the Santa Fe Bobcats series! Teamwork improves the chances of scoring . . . When the Bobcats’ fate on the field is sealed, and they would rather give their starting quarterback, Trey Owens, a break, they call in Josh Leeman: “The Backup.” But after Trey is placed on the disabled list for the season, all eyes are on Josh to lead the team. Josh’s sudden superstar status thrusts him into the spotlight, and garners plenty of attention from the ladies—except for one. Carrington Gray is delighted to see her father released from the hospital—but not so much to see Josh at the celebration. Their mothers have long tried to set them up, although it’s had the opposite effect. But under the circumstances, Carri and Josh would rather go on fake dates to appease their mothers than rock the boat. Yet the more time these two work together on their little lie, the more they see the surprising truth . . . Praise for the Santa Fe Bobcats series “Engaging . . . A believable story that drew me in from the first page.”—Cocktails and Books “Everything that I hoped for.”—The Reader’s Den “The heat between them is hot.”—Stuck in Books “A real hit . . .

Daysprings
Author: Sam Portaro
Publisher: Cowley Publications

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
“Dayspring, my dictionary tells me, is an archaic word meaning ‘dawn.’ But I have chosen Daysprings as the title for this collection of meditations for the several meanings in the ancient word and its components. I hope these brief reflections shed new light on old, familiar passages and illuminate the way through new ones. I also hope these pieces will prove to be springboards to new and creative meditation for readers, pastors, and preachers, and that they will find within these pieces an extra buoyancy for each day. Lastly, I hope these thoughts will flow like fresh, living waters through days of fast and feast, bringing refreshment. —from the Preface In his accompanying volume to Brightest and Best: A Companion to the Lesser Feasts and Fasts, Sam Portaro offers meditations for each of the weekdays for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. Following the lectionary texts for each day, he focuses on the seasonal themes of incarnation, manifestation, suffering, redemption, and resurrection, showing how the eternal truths of the gospel shed light on the ordinary and extraordinary events of our lives. Solidly grounded in the prayers and scriptures of these seasonal liturgies, Portaro’s meditations bring fresh and powerful—sometimes pointed—insights for those who follow the daily readings and prayers of these days of the weeks in the church year as found in Lesser Feasts and Fasts.
