Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to The Sunbearer Trials, where teen semidioses compete in a series of challenges with the highest of stakes, in this electric new Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys. “Only the most powerful and honorable semidioses get chosen. I’m just a Jade. I’m not a real hero.” As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the chaotic Obsidian gods at bay. Sol selects ten of the most worthy semidioses to compete in the Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all—they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body melted down to refuel the Sun Stones, protecting the world for another ten years. Teo, a seventeen-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of the goddess of birds, isn't worried about the Trials . . . at least, not for himself. His best friend, Niya is a Gold semidiós and a shoo-in for the Trials, and while he trusts her abilities, the odds of becoming the sacrifice is one-in-ten. But then, for the first time in over a century, the impossible happens. Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors. Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. Worst of all, Teo’s annoyingly handsome ex-best friend and famous semidiós Hero, Aurelio is favored to win. Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed—for fame, glory, and their own survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of the Sun Far to the Southwest, in the Sierra Madre range of the Rocky Mountains, just beyond the crest of "the grand Continental Divide," which forms the spinal column of the North American continent, in the midst of the thirsty desert, eight thousand feet above the level of the sea, is a little town, inhabited by a curious people who have furnished an interesting problem for ethnologists during the last three centuries, and are now attracting more attention than ever before. At the time of the conquest of Cortez it was called Cibola, meaning the city of the buffalo, but on the maps of to-day it appears as Zuni. Amazing stories were told of the wealth and grandeur of its people - stories that excited the avarice of the whole empire of Spain, and drew upon them the assaults of a mighty army, excited by prospects of plunder, compared to which the hoarded gold and the silver-crested temples of the Montezumas were the merest trifle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated Second Edition of a children's adaptation of the Kurdish Newroz Saga about Kawa the Blacksmith and featuring the origin of Newroz Mythology. "Slowly, the snow giant began to melt. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beam of light and the giant halo that was coming from Kawa and his friends. The giant thought, It is true that light always wins over darkness, and this time it is in the form of love, friendship and unity. He thought to himself. When people stand together in times of trouble, even the most powerful creatures like me won't be able to survive and spread fear. The giant knew his time had come to an end. As long as the people stood with each other, he would not be successful in stopping spring. Although he would be sure to try again next year" Newroz is probably the most important Kurdish national holiday, celebrated on March 21st, during the Spring Equinox. It is an ancient indo-iranian celebration based in Zoroastrianism that is surrounded by many diverse tales and legends, often around a blacksmith called Kawa. For Kurds, Kawa and Newroz represent the ultimate courage and resilience of people towards tyranny and cold harsh winters. In order to create a child friendly version of the legend surrounding Kawa the Blacksmith and the origins of Newroz for her two children in Diaspora, the author developed this adaptation some years ago. Following the publication of another adaptation of an old Kurdish epos "Mem u Zin" by Ahmede Khani, with the title: Holy Dolma and Honey Pie - Of Friendships and Miracles. The author was born in exile in Germany and was stateless until the age of 12. Language was always more than just a means of communication- it was an identity, heritage and home. Her parents, who were Kurdish university students in Europe's 60s, became political refugees due to being part of the resistance movement against the ruthless Baathist regime in Iraq, that persecuted Kurds, culminating in several genocides. Nevertheless, despite being in exile, they managed to instil in their children a deep love for their mother tongue and give a glimpse in the rich traditions of Kurdish oral story telling, history and culture. Having had limited access to Kurdish children books, due to years of linguistic, cultural and ethnic persecution, Peri-Khan committed herself to continue her people's tradition of generational storytelling to safeguard national heritage. Always in the back of her mind, second and third generations of parents and children in diaspora.
