Aboard Dearkin's flying sailboat, the Mazzergast, they pass through a time rift exiting into present day Antiqueus six hours, eight minutes and four seconds into the future. Completely cloaked from our world by the time differential Antiqueus has existed, separate from our world, for nine thousand years when a massive crystal meteorite struck the continent thrusting it into the future. Besides exploring the stunning wonders of Atlantis, the fanciful landscapes of Antiqueus and the diverse mix of species, Dearkin and his crew increase in number as they track down the crazy wizard who fled with parts of the life-giving Crystal, causing destructive Time Querks and advancing the Crystal towards its inevitable annihilation destroying all of Antiqueus. Not only fighting the Time Querk's bizarre phenomena, the protagonists must fend off the vile hoard of Psychnaughts: bat-winged creatures who, seeing the young Amanda as the fulfillment of prophesy, seek to kidnap and sacrifice her life for the fruition of the Crystals destruction. Through their continental quest of finding the crazed wizard and replacing the stolen crystals the philosophy of the Wizardry is revealed, a young romance is started as another long-term one is renewed and all of Antiqueus is rocked to its core fighting a climactic battle between good verses bad and destruction verses creation. Accompanied by 35 illustrations, 12 maps and an expanded Glossarium, Antiqueus, Quest of the Mazzergast is a compilation of over fifteen years of research, writing and art.

Download or read book The Matrix and Meaning of Character written by Nancy J. Dougherty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character structures underlie everyone’s personality. When rigidly defended, they limit us; yet as they become more flexible, they can reveal sources of animation, renewal and authenticity. The Matrix and Meaning of Character guides the reader into an awareness of the archetypal depths that underlie character structures, presenting an original developmental model in which current analytic theories are synthesised. The authors examine nine character structures, animating them with fairy tales, mythic images and case material, creating a bridge between the traditional language of psychopathology and the universal realm of image and symbol. This book will appeal to all analytical psychologists, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who want to strengthen their clinical expertise. It will help clinicians to extend their clinical insights beyond a strictly behavioural, medical or cognitive approach, revealing the potential of the human spirit.

Amanda. The novel is set from September 16, 1983 to September 16, 1984, when Cricketts Rose turned two. You won’t believe what can happen in a year’s time. Did she win? Are you kidding?

Download or read book Rival Truce written by Cherise P. Pierce and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-07-11 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside, you will find a story of two little girls that grow into very different young women who are strong-willed, evil, broken, stubborn, ruthless, dangerous, and everything in between. Does this sound like someone you know? They will find themselves thrust into a whirlwind of predicaments that seem too unimaginable and maniacle to believe. Does this sound like someone you know? The circle of friends they are intertwined with are no different from the circle of friends that you may have in your own everyday life. The only difference is this band of friends are just characters on the pages of this beautifully wicked novel. My goal is to inspire and awaken the senses in what could unfortunately be a true-to-life mystery, questioning how far would someone go. Although the story is fictional, the characters’ experiences and emotions will feel real. You will laugh, cry, and you just may swear, but I know you will be surprised. The development of events will also keep you guessing. This suspense-drama is an imitation of life where a series of twists and turns have you asking, “What else can happen?” See if the real circumstances in your life are stranger than the fictitious ones. Remember, a young child never forgets . . .
