Book excerpt: Stealer of warmth, bringer of death. What if Cinderella had a secret that kept her locked away? Unable to make her own body heat, foundling Lizbete survives in the tavern kitchen, drawing warmth from the fires, the sun-and sometimes, other living beings. Her days are spent cooking alongside the tavern owner and avoiding the suspicious gazes of the villagers in her small northern town. While she quietly longs for the handsome Brynar, she knows she has no chance with the mayor's son, even if he invites her to the First Frost festival. When sudden earthquakes strike Brumehome, blame falls upon Lizbete, and not even her friendship with Brynar can protect her. She finds shelter in the dangerous caverns of nearby Ash Mountain. There she discovers mysterious people with her same ability to draw heat-and a fiery doom in the mountain that slowly awakens with every quake. Now the festival Lizbete thought to avoid is her only chance to warn the villagers. Yet even with Brynar at her side, can the strange girl dubbed the Ash Lizard hope to save the town that fears her? A rugged YA Cinderella retelling set in a fantasy world with light steampunk elements.

Download or read book Mystery of the Ashen Light of Venus written by John C. Barentine and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Ashen Light” of Venus—a ghostly emission of light from the night side of our nearest planetary neighbor—is among the last unsolved mysteries of astronomical history. In the four centuries since the phenomenon was first reported, highly reputable visual observers of Venus have recorded seeing the Ashen Light, while others have spent a lifetime searching for it without once being convinced that they ever saw it. Is the Ashen Light a trick of the eye? The result of a defective lens? A real scientific event? Occasional references to the Ashen Light are scattered across the literature, yet no work to date has synthesized these records. This book therefore digs deep into the history of the mystery and our latest attempts to understand it, sifting through the clues that might explain whether it is caused by physics, is conjured up by the eye or brain, or a combination of both. This baffling story will appeal to amateur astronomers, hobbyists, and lay readers interested in joining the debate about one of the most elusive observable phenomena ever recorded in the night sky.

Book excerpt: The Flaming Unicorn of the Ashen Volcano A fiery unicorn that lives in the arid landscapes of a dormant volcano goes outside to stop an impending explosion from destroying its home and finds fire inside it. Summary In the middle of a magical kingdom full of magic and mystery is a desert land shaped by a volcano that is no longer active. This harsh, seemingly empty land is home to Ember, a fiery unicorn whose mane and tail glow with the flames of the volcano that holds it. Ember is as unique as the land it's on. When strange signs show that the volcano is about to explode, threatening to destroy the empty plains and everyone who lives there in a huge explosion, Ember's peaceful life is turned upside down. Ember is thrown into an experience it could never have imagined when it thinks it might lose its home. On this journey, you will learn, grow, and stay alive. As Ember leaves the comforts of the pale fields, he finds a world full of magic, danger, and animals from mythology. Ember makes friends with a lot of strange people, but Luna, a phoenix whose life cycle of rebirth matches Ember's own, is the most important one. The friendship and unity they build with each other is their biggest strength. During this trip, Ember faces difficulties evaluating its bravery and strength. As it leads Ember through the dangerous Whispering Woods and solves the Ice Sphinx's riddles, Ember's adventure shows how powerful it really is. These tests not only teach Ember how to be strong physically, but also how to be brave, selfless, and have an unbreakable spirit. When Ember and Luna set the difficult goal of calming the raging volcano, they learn that strength alone isn't enough to get things done.

It tells a story of change, adventure, and the unbreakable bond between friends. Page 10 of 40 Chapter 1: Charred Lands and Flame A huge, empty plain lay in a mysterious area far away, hidden by tall mountains and thick woods. A big, dormant volcano lay beneath the top of this plain, making it one of a kind. Ember, the horse that was on fire, lived here in the gray and black volcanic ash that covered the whole area. Ember wasn't like other unicorns. It was stunning to see, with its beautiful hair on fire and moving like it was dancing in the wind. Its feet sparkled like diamonds as it ran across the ground, leaving a light trail behind them. The volcano had been dormant for thousands of years, but now it was Ember's home and a peaceful place to relax. There was a golden glow around Ember every morning when he woke up, as the sun was rising. Ember's fiery mane would catch the first rays of sunlight, making a beautiful show of brightness that stood out against the dark surroundings. Then Ember would start its day by racing over the well-worn paths it knew, paths that wound around rocky outcroppings that looked like the spines of a huge sleeping animal and around large fields of ash. Because of the warmth coming from deep in the ground, life grew even though the area looked empty. There were patches of bright red grass all over the fields, making for an interesting and beautiful scene. This grass, which was as red as Ember's flames, was eaten by it. It happily grazed, loving the warm ground under its hooves. The constant warmth of this place was a gentle reminder of how strong that person really was. Ember had a calm life. She spent her days thinking about herself and quietly looking into things. Ember liked finding new places in the large ash fields, and she would sometimes go near the edge, where the ash gave way to the solid, hard rock of the volcano's shell. From these spots, Ember could see the land around her, the woods that surrounded the white fields, and the mountains that rose high into the sky. The volcano was a scary, silent monster. Its rumblings were a memory, and its explosions were a dream. Ember had heard stories about how the volcano exploded and sent ash and flames into the sky. The stories were whispered through the ash by the wind. But that was a long time ago. In the harsh land around it, the volcano was a safe place to stay warm and a steady presence. Ember's life was simple but full of happiness. There was a wide open sky above, warm ground to rest on, bright red grass to eat, and nothing else. It seemed like its days had a natural flow, like the beat of its heart. Ember didn't know it, but her peaceful life was about to change. When Ember's new story was about to start, the volcano that had been keeping her safe in silence moved. Ashen regions were not the only places Ember would be going to on this exciting trip. It would take it into new areas and to a future it could never have imagined. As the days went by, Ember noticed a small change in the mood that made her think of something that was about to happen. The ground under its feet, which had been warm before, became hotter all of a sudden, and the air was filled with excitement. Ember felt something stirring inside her, like a spark of joy that meant something new was about to start, but she had no idea what it was. So, with its bright main light shining against the gray background, Ember kept traveling the empty fields, not knowing
