Book Description
The binary stars Ti and Silan are hosts for the Kovalen planetary system. The ruling monarchy of the system employs Royal Security to handle the problems of subversive or militant elements on the other inhabited planets in the system. Their methods are swift and ruthless. Their director, Mr. Detu, controls the specially trained assassins that are at his disposal. One of his agents, Jaan Larin, is among the best he has ever trained. Larin grew up a ́presumed ́ orphan on the streets of Kovalen ́s capital city. His hardened mentality and incredible aptitudes make him an ideal recruit for the work that Detu needs done. Larin, now heavily experienced in the field of covert ́terminations ́ is hand-picked for a mission that is vital to the very existence of the the "Order"; the Kovalen royal family that rules the system. His mission is to return to his homeworld, a place he has no memeory of ever being on, to conduct a search and recovery of stolen tech-manuals for the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction ever developed and used. The implosion warhead device can annihilate a whole planet; reduce it to rubble. A tattoo given to him at birth is his key to infiltrating the society of his homeworld. The planet Damirius is but a frontier planet with its own ideas of independence. The ruling regime wants the matter of the stolen plans to be solved quietly. The only clue that has been found has traced the stolen plans to Damririus. That clue is a woman ́s name: Jaquin. Before setting off on his assignment, Larin ́s street-hewn suspicions lead him to the discovery that he is meant to accomplish his mission, but not live to tell the tale. He is to be the pawn in a cover-up that will ensure the ́quiet solution ́ that the royal family wants. His mind begins to bound from one vision to another in a manner he can ́t understand. All he can do is cling to the realization that he must survive. The visions he sees are that of a woman. A most beautiful and seductive woman that torments his very soul. The Damirian mysticism begins its work and Larin is driven by his passions in what turns into the self-realizations and discovery of who he really is; the kidnapped heir to the throne of Damirius. Spiritually bound together by the unexplainable phenomenon called the ́wait ́, he and Jaquin are pulled together in an alliance to foil the plans of the Order. Hunted and haunted, Larin is first driven away from Jaquin into the frozen wild of Damirius. The struggle that ensues brings them together and sets a new course for the history of the entire Kovalen solar system.

Book Description
“Maguire’s work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review Bestselling author Gregory Maguire’s remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of “the magical land of Oz.” Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum’s world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire’s magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.

Book Description
The Gospel Sounds Like the Witch's Spell is a highly detailed ethnography about how the Jopadhola in eastern Uganda talk about, interpret and cope with death, illness and other misfortunes. The book presents a provocative discussion that critiques the idea of the revival of witchcraft in the neo-liberalised contemporary world, as represented by the 'modernity model of witchcraft', and attempts to formulate a 'spiderweb model' that connects witchcraft to contemporary society in a more complex manner. The book is a unique ethnography of the collective memory of indigenous knowledge and local historicity. The author moves the reader from curse to misfortune to fortune as he plots the notion of 'curse' as deeply embedded in the Adhola way of life. He weaves between culture, religion, state and modernity with lived experience. Did the concept of witchcraft unwittingly endear the Adhola to the Christian way of life because of the presence of the notion of 'curse' in the Bible or make them less susceptible to the vagaries of modernity compared to their neighbours? These are some of the questions that the author puts on the table in a deeply reflective manner. The phenomenon of witchcraft is given an intriguing angle that invites the reader to reexamine earlier anthropological writings on the subject among African peoples.

He was the only person who ever made Rain feel special. The only one who believed she could do something important with her life.

Only the armband . . . and the gift it brings: Rain can see dead people. Starting with the Dark Man: a ghost determined to reveal the Ghost Keys' hidden world of mystery and mysticism, intrigue and adventure.
