Book Description
Get ready for the journey of a lifetime in the first book of an all-new, captivating fantasy series from thrilling debut author Gillian Grant. A world without gods. A dangerous quest. And a secret that will shake Eith to its very core. As a hunter, Evren Hanali of Orenlion has probably seen it all and done even more, even though she likes to fade into the background. She prefers a solitary existence, doing the jobs she’s commissioned for and not much else. But fate has other plans. It seems she has a destiny—one she is only beginning to unravel. And unlikely companions and exotic places are only the beginning of her journey. When circumstances beyond her control—and gravity—send her plummeting to what she fears may be her death, walking away unscathed opens a world of possibilities. Somehow, she becomes the leader of a motley crew of allies with a shared mission. Only it’s not clear what anyone’s end goal is, and trust is hard-earned. Still, the merry band of adventurers finds solace and friendship along the way—not to mention dangers galore. In the instance of the Yawning Deep, as above is not as below. Add magic and mayhem to the mix, and Evren has the fight of her life on her hands. When one hard-fought win leads to revelations of lies, deceit, and murder, Evren and company must be willing to fight for what they believe—and each other. Or die trying.

Pages : 148
Book Description
Nominee: 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award Finalist—Best Juvenile Edgar Allan Poe's greatest stories are coming to life, and it's not a good thing. There's something odd about the house David Cray and his mom moved into following his parents’ split. Sure, it’s old and battered and a little off-kilter, but that’s not all. With so many nooks and crannies, it seems like the walls were built to keep things hidden—or maybe from getting out. David’s suspicions are confirmed when he uncovers a secret room that looks like it hasn’t been touched in ages. Inside, an ancient desk and carving of a raven beckon to him. Suddenly, disaster seems to follow him everywhere, and he starts to notice connections between the terrible events happening around him and the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. Has David unleashed a dark force by opening the room? Or has the room awakened something in David that he doesn’t recognize?

The Mother Mantra
Author: Selene Calloni Williams
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620557932
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
An initiate’s guide to the healing practices, spiritual exercises, and secret rites of the Mother Mantra tradition • Explains the practice of the Mother Mantra, which allows us to overcome subconscious programming, release our fears, and awaken to the dream nature of reality • Includes instructions for the practice of the Egyptian mantra to attract wealth and abundance and the Mystical Marriage Mantra for transformation and rebirth • Presents five spiritual rituals that can be incorporated into daily life to reestablish the universal balance between humanity and the divine Hidden at the heart of nearly all spiritual and esoteric traditions lies the powerful teachings of the Mother Mantra. Its initiates have preserved its consciousness-expanding techniques for millennia. Originating in the ancient practice of shamanic yoga, this tradition allows us to perceive the full complexity of reality. It helps us see both the visible and the invisible, moving beyond the consciousness of duality that limits us to only the material world. Operating in this heightened state of non-ordinary consciousness, we can see beyond our subconscious programming and behavior patterns and understand our possibilities and powers. By removing all fear, it allows you to love yourself exactly as you are. In this spiritual and philosophical guide, initiate Selene Calloni Williams shares the healing practices and spiritual exercises of the Mother Mantra tradition. She explains how these practices bypass the thinking mind to access our higher spiritual consciousness, allowing us to awaken to the dream nature of reality and release us from all fear. She details the exercises and practices of the four-part Mother Mantra: The first series, which dissolves the constructs of the ego; the second, which invokes ancient spirits and deities for their aid in this endeavor; the third, where we experience a divine androgynous tantric union to transcend sexual identity and spiritually fuse with the divine; and the fourth, where the first three rituals are combined to unlock an expanded state of consciousness and a true seeing of the complexity of both the visible and invisible worlds. The author also describes the practice of the Egyptian mantra, a soul-making ceremony that unites the initiate with the Chthonian realms and attracts wealth and abundance, and the Mystical Marriage Mantra, which opens a path to authentic transformation and rebirth. Additionally, Williams presents five spiritual rituals, including yogic poses and exercises, that can be incorporated into daily life to allow divine communication through the chakras, awaken the mind and body from the aging process, and reestablish the universal balance between humanity and the divine.

ISBN: 1737224534
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
A legacy of grief, a sacrifice for love, a battle that may destroy them all… Half-elf Evren Hanali is dying. She has only vague, terrifying memories of losing her heart and gaining blood magic in return. Her companions, the Wandering Sols, believe the only way to save her is to return Evern to her home. A return to Orenlion means a return to toxic politics and a legacy of traumatic memories, where old friends have changed and old enemies won’t let her slip away again. But when they are approached by a prince in need of an escort through the treacherous Deep Wood, Evren reluctantly agrees to guide them. The simple escort mission takes a dangerous turn when the prince is kidnapped, thrusting them all into a thousand year blood feud between the elves of Orenlion and the monstrous Hisrachi race. Amidst the brewing storm, Evren’s attraction to one of her companions grows, a weakness her dying body can’t afford and the simmering war won’t allow. Surrounded by betrayals, lies, and spies, her magic slowly killing her, and with a thirst for revenge, Evren won’t allow someone she loves to sacrifice their life to save her own. But time is running out and dark secrets are revealed as a battle rages across time for an ancient relic that may alter all their futures. If only Evren can survive long enough…
