Face the Night
Author: Lani Forbes
Publisher: Blackstone Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
On a harsh frontier where good and evil contend for people’s minds, a young woman must fight for her true identity in this scintillating YA fantasy from the author of the award-winning Age of the Seventh Sun trilogy. Once, Catriona Macgregor led a charmed life. Daughter of a wealthy rancher, pretty and educated, she looked forward to all the world had to offer—until fate took a turn. Now family, home, and even her name have been stripped away. As “Black Cat Whitfield,” adopted daughter of an outlaw, she’s wanted by the authorities. It certainly wasn’t the destiny she imagined—especially as one of the Blessed. The Blessed, rare people like Cat, are supposed to use their gifts to carry out missions for the Patron Saints, but she can only imagine that Saint Prudentia made a terrible mistake in choosing her. Still, her gift has never deserted her. Whenever danger threatens, Cat receives a vision—just in time to save her life. And when she meets a renegade priest, Father Ignatius, he helps her understand how her ability may be part of a much bigger picture. A picture that involves facing up to the monstrous Baron Caldwell—the one who ordered her parents killed—and his son, Adrian, who betrayed them all. Cat is torn between guilt over her parents’ death, a longing for vengeance against their killers, and a dismaying new interest in Adrian. It would be easiest to flee the whole situation and never look back. But as someone once told her, you can’t outrun the darkness on your heels. There’s only one way to break through to sunrise—by turning to face the night.

The Metaphysics of Night
Author: Matthew Del Nevo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351479555
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The Metaphysics of Night acknowledges a post-secular philosophy, one that puts philosophy into serious dialogue with religion, rather than considering religion a thing of the past. Matthew Del Nevo deals with the cultural unconscious, inseparable from religious consciousness, and draws on psychoanalysis and literature as well as philosophy. The metaphysics of the night is Del Nevo's metaphor for the deep and mysterious expanse of the soul. Philosophically, the book is critical of Enlightenment presumptions about knowledge and truth and overly spiritualizing tendencies in religion. Its critical edge cuts against materialist and historicist tendencies in the humanities and abstract intellectualism in philosophy. Arguing for strong aesthetic values, Del Nevo defends and explains soul and soulful experience, the creation of depth, the ineffable, real presence, beauty, and saving words, noting that the sources of all these are in us, but often are blocked. Each of the five parts of this book testify to what the author notes may be forgotten, but which ought not to be forgotten. It is necessary for life as socially, religiously, and educationally instituted within culture and as constitutive for culture. Del Nevo deals with sensibility as a form of wisdom and instinct that is not cognitive or knowledge/information based. He argues for a shift of emphasis in culture from intellect to intuition. This well-written work, filled with Catholic, philosophic, and artistic thought will be of interest to all philosophers, theologians, and students of culture.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Revisit a fan-favorite playful romance about a secret identity game and a chance of true love. Previously published as Amber by Night, from New York Times best-selling author Sharon Sala. From nine to five, she was Amelia Beauchamp, typical small-town librarian who lived with her loving elderly aunts. But every night, looking for a chance of freedom, Amelia turned into miniskirt-clad cocktail waitress Amber Champion…and she’d caught the eye of the town’s biggest rake, Tyler Savage. "Amber" was certain she had to keep playing the secret identity game, as Tyler would never be interested in her if he knew who she really was, and her family would never approve their relationship. But Tyler had figured out that proper Amelia and flirtatious Amber were one and the same. Both Amelia and Tyler were having a fine old time playing a game of secrets and lies, with romantic dinners and long, moonlit nights together. All it took was a leap of trust to give their love a real chance.
