A beautiful queen rules her country with an iron fist. Unmarried and without an heir, she adopts orphans as a way to prove that even commoners can reign as kings. Yet, as the years progress, she shows no sign of aging. Only one man knows the dark secret to her eternal youth: Oldman, a bearded magician the queen has locked in her darkest dungeon. One night, Oldman steps through the bars of his prison and disappears before the queen's very eyes. Enraged, she sends her army after him in a desperate campaign to keep her secret hidden. Staging his escape, Oldman appears to step through the bars of his cell and vanish as if by magic, cleverly misleading the guards. He rescues a neighboring prisoner, an outlaw sword maiden who has had her arms and legs amputated. Upon taking her to a brilliant doctor who fits her with mechanical limbs, Oldman and the sword maiden vow to take revenge on the queen that wronged them, all the while evading the queen's army as she launches a desperate campaign to keep her secret hidden. The story concludes with the queen personally leading her army to pursue Oldman and his companions. She sees them as a serious threat to her reign and their defiance is an act of war. Oldman is tired of running, he and his comrades have devised a plan to defeat the queen once and for all; but it must come at a sacrifice.

They died heart to heart, chest to chest.Detective Kovelant, haunted by the fiery death of two women, investigates why Chloe Bisset, mother and wife, swerved last-second into oncoming traffic. What drove her to this impulse?L'appel du vide, he soon discovers, is both an explanation and a non-explanation. The phrase translates to "the call of the void," which doesn't surprise him. The French often have ways of expressing the unexplainable. Most never answer the call, but only briefly contemplate what could happen.Kovelant tracks Chloe's acts through her final days-a series of experiments in spontaneity that end with her crossing one final line on the asphalt to end two lives. Clues scribed with fridge magnets, etched into silver rings, scribbled on sticky notes, and painted on the smoke-stained walls of a derelict building, reveal a woman tormented by a growing need. Each revelation drives him closer to the grief that pins him to his own dark truth.Parents should never outlive their children.

I might not be here today if Grace had not saved my life from my abusive mother. She rescued me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Sadly, she left our household before my fifth birthday. Traumatized, I blocked all memory of her. My story, Finding Grace tells how I remembered Grace -- and my mother's abuse -- in my forties while living in The Netherlands and doing choreography in my studio. Ten years later, after returning to the U.S., I was able to find Grace, but It took me years to shake off the lessons I had received in the forties and fifties, that Black and White races should keep themselves separated. I had to go deep inside and toss out this unconscious, racist idea in order to search out my "brown mother" whom I had loved as if she had been my own flesh and blood. When I did, I reunited not only with her family and friends whom I had known as a child but with my own Blackness that had shown up in my career choices. Together with the daughter of her best friend, I was able to return the love Grace had given me by nursing her in her last years. I published Finding Grace as a personal story in 2014. Now, with blatant racism growing in many parts of our country, I have revised it to be more than my own story. My memoir lays bare the myths on which racism is based. My story tells this truth: White skin does not mean that a person is better. My parents were punishing, hating, and hurtful to me. Grace gave me love, joy in life, nurturing, valuable life-lessons, fun, and spiritual strength. I feel that I have to speak out to my White brothers and sisters and say, look at the truths in my story, and, replace racism with joy and appreciation for the Black people who, along with their culture, have given us so much!

This is the story of the Muslim prophet Yusha' ibn Nun (as), known in English as Joshua, who was both the servant and the inheritor of Moses (as). It is the story of heroic deeds and spiritual triumphs, but also of humbleness and submission to God. Content to remain in the shadow of his master, Yusha's (as) own story remains partially hidden. To help uncover it, a comparison is made to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (kw) the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (sas). Warriors, scholars, and spiritual champions, they teach us something about the path of service whose destination is the holy land.

A biography of Felicity Blackett (1912-2011), an English artist, supplemented by her own diaries, begins with her birth in Liverpool where her Scottish mother married a detective who became head of the Criminal Investigation Department. At the age of four, she was saddened by her father's death in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. After the war, Felicity and her mother immigrated to Italy where she had art lessons from Barbara Nash, sister of the well-known war artist brothers. Returning to England just before the war, ventures included marriage, motherhood, divorce, and a second marriage, all while working in the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), caring for wounded soldiers, including her second husband. After World War II, Felicity began with consolidating her artistic talents over twenty-five years in South Africa and then four decades in England where she settled in the Cotswold Village of Dursley, staying in close touch with her extended family and friends including her American daughter and family. While in England her art was influenced by the surrounding countryside, villages, and animals especially wildfowl and scenic habitats in Gloucestershire and on visits to the Scottish border country.
