The history of the house is less romantic. Some call it spooky. Others claim it’s deadly. Titus loves the heart-shaped gate. Ezra wants to destroy it.

Titus and Ezra, Pennsylvania and Ewan, their stories were just the beginning of what went on behind the heart-shaped gate. This box set contains the following three stories: My Other Half: What is lurking behind the heart-shaped gate? Is it love or something sinister?

Determined to free him, Ewan sets out to unravel the mystery that resulted in his imprisonment. No Strings: Sometimes pretend is better than real life. That’s why we daydream. That’s why we read. That’s why we play. In a child’s imagination, the good guy always wins, and true love is possible. If given the choice between his world and a fantasy one, which would a grieving man chose?

On the 12th anniversary of his mother’s disappearance, Zahn camps out on the island summit, his slumber destroyed by a brilliant object thundering down from the sky. And his slumber isn't all that the object destroys. In a frenzy, he sprints down the mountain, coming across a large crater in the silvery sand. He reaches in, pulling out a triangular plate made of a strange material, moonlight sliding off of it at strange angles. Conflicted over what to do, Zahn hides the fragment in his room for days. Then, in the middle of the night, Zahn is awoken by a tapping at his window. He opens it, and to his shock, it’s a man wearing a silvery uniform. There’s more to what Zahn found on the beach than he could have ever imagined, and he’s swept up into a galactic adventure with a cryptic captain and a living starship. Along the way, he encounters the Vakragha, a species bent on consuming entire stars. And to Zahn’s horror, he learns that they’re heading toward his homeworld. Only the Tulari, a stone that can heal the wounds they cut into space, offers any hope. But saving his world isn’t all he has to worry about. Just when Zahn lands on a moon stolen by the Vakragha, he makes a breakthrough, finally learning his mother’s true fate. Now he is faced with a heartbreaking decision that could either save his world or doom it forever.

To their shock, Asha and her commander Mira are dragged into the planet's wild ocean, and Asha barely manages to escape a vast underwater complex. Once she reaches the surface, she discovers a mysterious island that comes to life with dancing villagers and roaring bonfires every night, only to vanish without a trace each morning, leaving her feeling alone and confused. Meanwhile, Zahn has taken Oonak's ship on a mission to a subterranean labyrinth where Vayuna says he will be needed, learning more about the Vakragha than he ever could have imagined. Yet there are greater struggles ahead for both of them. Having followed Asha, the vicious Vakragha are desperate to find the stone first, bent on using it to revive their greatest mastermind. Time is running out, and Asha must rely on her courage, intuition, and healing skills to have any hope of survival. But she soon discovers that the Vakragha aren't the only ones searching desperately for the sacred stone.... And the adventure continues with The Mirage on the Brink of Oblivion: What if you could hold a memory in the palm of your hand? In the Mirage, you can. Within the out-of-body state, the Mirage allows everyone to trade memories like souvenirs and create structures that defy physics. And now, after centuries, even the memory of the devastating Vakragha attack on their world has all but been forgotten, and most have lost touch with the physical world altogether. Jyana is different. Driven by her desire to understand the natural world, she dedicates herself to studying the sea below Mirage City. Yet when she finds that the coral reef is being destroyed, no one will take her seriously, not even Torin, whom she loves more than anyone. But Torin has other things on his mind. The colossal structures of the Mirage demand a regular supply of ambrosia, but the shortages are getting worse. In the midst of this confusion, everyone is shocked when a refugee from before the attack returns. Filled with questions, Asha has come with a secret mission which could destabilize the entire planet, causing the end of the Mirage itself.

Download or read book Living With A Lighter Load written by Susan Whisnand and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-01-13 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Living with a Lighter Load is the same as reading my diary. The kind of diary that has a lock and key and no one is allowed to see what is inside. But there isn’t a lock and key on this book. I have removed them, and I am inviting you to peek inside and have a look at my personal story. The story of my life isn’t profound, tragic, or extraordinary. It is not something to make a big deal over. But, it’s underneath the events of my story that reveal the diary-like emotions and thoughts that are very private to me. It’s where my frustration from struggles are experienced, heart piercing pain of loss is felt, defeat of mistakes overwhelms, shame from sin takes over, fear from a bad experience is absorbed, and sadness from disappointment sinks in. It’s these emotions and thoughts of mine that I reveal and share with you. Why do I reveal what is underneath the experiences of my life? Because I have learned a life lesson that is worth getting out of my diary and into an open book. I have learned that I don’t have to lug the heavy weight that the struggles of life put upon my emotions and thoughts. I have learned to live with a lighter load and how to keep it light. Since I am no longer straining to pull the weight, I have wider eyes to see more of life’s abundance and richness. And what I see makes me too happy to keep stored in my diary and all to myself. - Sue Marvin -------- ---------

Download or read book Wanderland written by Jini Reddy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR UK NATURE WRITING Alone on a remote mountaintop one dark night, a woman hears a mysterious voice. Propelled by the memory and after years of dreaming about it, Jini Reddy dares to delve into the 'wanderlands' of Britain, heading off in search of the magical in the landscape. A London journalist with multicultural roots and a perennial outsider, she determinedly sets off on this unorthodox path. Serendipity and her inner compass guide her around the country in pursuit of the Other and a connection to Britain's captivating natural world. Where might this lead? And if you know what it is to be Othered yourself, how might this colour your experiences? And what if, in invoking the spirit of the land, 'it' decides to make its presence felt? Whether following a 'cult' map to a hidden well that refuses to reveal itself, attempting to persuade a labyrinth to spill its secrets, embarking on a coast-to-coast pilgrimage or searching for a mystical land temple, Jini depicts a whimsical, natural Britain. Along the way, she tracks down ephemeral wild art, encounters women who worship The Goddess, falls deeper in love with her birth land and struggles – but mostly fails – to get to grips with its lore. Throughout, she rejoices in the wildness we cannot see and celebrates the natural beauty we can, while offering glimpses of her Canadian childhood and her Indian parents' struggles in apartheid-era South Africa. Wanderland is a book in which the heart leads, all things are possible and the Other, both wild and human, comes in from the cold. It is a paean to the joy of roaming, both figuratively and imaginatively, and to the joy of finding your place in the world.
