Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Callum wants is a break from the spirits who hound him for closure, especially a demon called The Shadow who's incessant presence has forced him to guard the veil separating the living and spirit worlds for weeks. All Zander needs is a fresh start in a new city after years of family drama and tragedy. When they find each other, they find everything they want and need—but Callum's supernatural reprieve has a price. And Zander's fresh start might be a death sentence. Soon, Callum realizes he didn't escape The Shadow when he met Zander, just enticed it to find a new victim: Zander's little sister. To save her sister, and prevent The Shadow from gaining access to the living world, Callum is forced to tell Zander the truth he'd hoped to ignore: he's a medium, able to see and speak to spirits—and she's a cloak, a rare individual who unknowingly closes the veil between the living and spirit worlds. It's no wonder Zander doesn't believe in ghosts—when she's around, it's like they don't exist. So how can Callum make her see the invisible spirit world that lives alongside the one she knows? And, more importantly, how can he make her understand she is the only thing preventing the evil stalking her sister from gaining unhindered access to the living world—the only thing standing between Callum and an endless, living hell?

Download or read book Time and Chance written by Sharon Kay Penman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-03-04 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sequel to Sharon Kay Penman's acclaimed novel When Christ and His Saints Slept, Time and Chance recounts the tempestuous marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II in a magnificent story of love, power, ambition, and betrayal. He was nineteen when they married, she eleven years his senior, newly divorced from the King of France. She was beautiful, headstrong, intelligent, and rich. It was said he was Fortune's favorite, but he said a man makes his own luck. Within two years, Henry had made his, winning the throne of England and exercising extraordinary statecraft skills to control his unruly barons, expand his own powers, and restore peace to a land long torn by banditry and bloodshed. Only in one instance did Henry err: Elevating his good friend and confidant Thomas Becket to be Archbishop of Canterbury, he thought to gain control over the Church itself. But the once worldly Becket suddenly discovered God, and their alliance withered in the heat of his newfound zeal. What Becket saw as a holy mission-to protect the Church against State encroachments-Henry saw as arrant betrayal, and they were launched inevitably on the road to murder. Rich in character and color, true to the historical details, sensitive to the complex emotions of these men and women, Time and Chance recreates their story with all the drama, pain, and passion of the moment.
