Book excerpt: Eons ago, the Conclave of Sensi chose Cera as a laboratory for creating consciousness. True, the work was experimental, but it had been successful long before the rebellion that threatened to destroy the planet. Led by the High Priestess Khyan and her first apostle, Rhee, ten members of the Khyan Circle of Fostering decide upon a desperate plan for survival. Escaping a fiery destruction is only the beginning. The bizarre world that appears beneath them demands new risks. They must become something far different than what they have been. High up in the Fourth Valley of the White Mountains in this strange new homeland, the repulsive upright ones await their destiny. They have lived here for ages past, but they aren’t prepared for life in the future. Symbolic features in Legend of the Fire Eye promise to give it a niche in the "New Myth" now being written.

Download or read book In The Typhoon s Eye written by Bles Chavez-Bernstein and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Typhoon’s Eye is a story of childhood and growing up amidst struggle, sacrifice, and concession to a stringent reality while keeping the dreams of youth alive. The imagery of Sandig hill with its vast greenery and lush ambiance shaped the perspective of the author as a young artist. Readers will share her personal journey in nostalgic local colors that are rendered by the sound of the church bells tolling, waking up the lazy town of Ocampo, the solemn procession on Easter, the crowded Sunday market, and the seductive scents of native delicacies sold on the streets. Alcohol and post-traumatic stress disorder clouded the expression of parental love, resulting in the severe upbringing of the author and her siblings. Chavez-Bernstein has crafted her coming-of-age tale in a profoundly insightful prose. This story is rich in pathos that can grip your heart with truthful tales of human interest. Love at first sight was as real as the disrupted lives in her parents’ generation during the Second World War, which blossomed again among those born in the following generation. In The Typhoon’s Eye is a memoir portraying the author’s young life and her courageous treatment of life’s adversities. Her perseverance, passion, relentless faith, and unbreakable love of family highlight this poignant story.

Book excerpt: The magnificent title story of this collection of fairy tales for adults describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine--a world renowned scholar of the art of story-telling--and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar.
