In that time, I've made friends, gained a family, and begun learning how to gather and channel Aether, a.k.a. magic. I started attending Azyl Academy, the premier magic school of the city, after it was discovered that my talent was exceptionally high.

After the tournament, we will be divided into teams and go on an expedition into the Great Western Forest to cull Beasts and harvest rare plants.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thrawn and his allies race to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an unseen enemy in the second book in the epic Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. Thrawn’s latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. He has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, do not mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: Gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally. Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: Rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As rivalry and suspicion sow discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most to them: the security of their family or the survival of the Ascendancy itself.

For thousands of years the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.

To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.

Book excerpt: The story of "Rising Above...The Henry Ike story," is a nod to Horatio Alger with it's rags to riches theme and spans across two continents from Nigeria to the United States. Nigeria's bad economy, financial problems, and a corrupt government forced Henry and his family to live in impoverished conditions. Despite their unfortunate living situation, they kept their spirits up, until another blow took place. Henry's sister, Jane, was diagnosed with a life-threatening and rare disease. The medical system in their country was not equipped to handle such an unusual disorder, so they were granted a medical visa to the U.S to receive better treatment. With little money, they moved to Queens, New York where the housing was cheap and the neighborhood dangerous. A five hundred and fifty square foot rodent infested apartment was their new home. Desperation transformed into determination, as Henry set off on a mission to lessen his parent's financial struggles. Surrounded by temptation for easy money to sell drugs, he knew the consequences were far worse and instead found an after-school job at a department store. The valuable business skills and discipline Henry acquired catapulted him to a top salesman position, but he wanted more. When he turned eighteen, he got his real estate license and worked tirelessly making deal after deal. His efforts paid off and money and success followed. Henry was grateful that he was finally able to help his parents. Good fortune also had its dark side. Money gave him power and plenty of choices. Indulgences like wild parties, beautiful women, and drugs were readily available, whenever he wanted. He also engaged in several bad business ventures, one of which led to an FBI investigation, imprisonment, and a costly legal battle. Another investment led to the loss of his entire fortune causing Henry to become depressed, suicidal, and physically ill. "Rising Above" is the story about a man who went to hell and back. The self-indulgent rich playboy lost himself and learned the hard way, but returned to his former glory better than ever. His success as a real estate developer is greater the second time around because his business model now includes community outreach programs that teach financial literacy and basic business skills to eradicate poverty and promote independence. When life knocks you down, you rise above.
