Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once, Tarcienne was united under the rule of the Rose Queen. But that was before the Rift. Before the magic disappeared... Orphaned Calixta has spent her entire life as an indentured servant to the heartless Countess of Vauvillers. After she discovers her mother's journal and a few seeds inside, she takes the chance to plant them, hoping for a connection to her long-lost parent. When they instantly grow into a forty foot tall weeping willow, she gets more than she bargained for. Maybe she shouldn't have planted it in a public park… As the Alaincourt heir, Martel knows his duty to the dukedom comes first. That means supporting his mother's political alliances, sitting attentively in endless council meetings, and not smothering his annoying younger brothers. It also means heading out in the middle of the night when a rumor of impossible plant magic reaches the palace… Calixta never intended to grow a tree overnight. She never intended to attract the attention of Lord Martel, or reawaken the realm's magic affinities, or become an apprentice to the duchess's oldest, grumpiest, and most mysterious lady-in-waiting either. But while the secrets of the Everlasting Rose Queen and the Reign of the Roses are starting to unravel, Calixta and Martel find their new magic—and their hearts—more and more tangled together… Secrets of Water and Willow is a Cinderella retelling—if Cinderella rediscovered elemental magic before she went to the ball, if the fairy godmother was more cranky than kind, and if the prince was a ducal heir with magic of his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of An Eccentric Engagement comes a Regency romance celebrating the witty and romantic world that fans of Georgette Heyer have fallen in love with. “Simpson excels at imbuing her realistic characters with subtle depths!” —John Charles, American Library Association As chaperone to the Season’s most desirable young miss, Amy Corbett has two specific duties: to ensure that her charge’s reputation remains spotless, and to see her betrothed to an exceptional beau. Given that the coquettish Lady Rowena manages to maintain an air of propriety while being a flirt of the highest caliber, Amy knows her job should be easy—if only the calculating young aristocrat weren’t so set on toying with men’s hearts, including that of her latest prey, the debauched Lord Dante Pierson. Like other gentlemen of high standing and low tastes, Lord Pierson’s restless desire for excitement had driven him into a life of squalor and scandalous social blunders. Finding himself drunk and mud-spattered in a gutter one night, he spies an angelic apparition in a passing carriage and is overcome by a will to reform—surely such a woman could give him hope of rebirth. When he learns that the anonymous beauty is Lady Rowena, he vows to coax that flicker of warmth into a flame. As Rowena lures the unsuspecting Pierson ever closer to heartbreak, Amy realizes that for all the talk of his wastrel ways, he is actually a gentle and caring man to be championed and cherished. And in an unguarded moment, the unassuming Amy and downtrodden Lord Pierson will discover that they possess kindred souls—and will make a daring decision to follow their own true path to happiness and love . . . This book was originally published as Lord Pierson Reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturalist Craig Childs's "utterly memorable and fantastic" study of the desert's dangerous beauty is based on years of adventures in the deserts of the American West (Washington Post). Like the highest mountain peaks, deserts are environments that can be inhospitable even to the most seasoned explorers. Craig Childs, who has spent years in the deserts of the American West as an adventurer, a river guide, and a field instructor in natural history, has developed a keen appreciation for these forbidding landscapes: their beauty, their wonder, and especially their paradoxes. His extraordinary treks through arid lands in search of water are an astonishing revelation of the natural world at its most extreme. "Utterly memorable and fantastic...Certainly no reader will ever see the desert in the same way again." —Suzannah Lessard, Washington Post

This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word kanuna is an ancient term and is in use today. It is pronounced ""kah-hoo-nah"" and meant ""keeper of the secret."" The word for their secret lore was never found. The role of secrecy had been so strong and so well kept that it may never have been given a name... The name we used, for this reason, was Huna (pronounced ""hoo-nah""), which means ""secret."" Enough basic information will be incorporated in this book to give a working picture of the system of beliefs and practices upon which experimental work has been based. Interspersed with the instructions will be found explanations of the sources of conclusions, of symbols, words, and word-roots familiar to Huna, but which we also found in other religions, mainly Christianity. These will tend to show that the meanings ascribed to Huna are well founded. Huna is compatible with other systems. It interferes with none of them, but makes possible a greater understanding of the old truths. (From the Introduction) Get Your Copy Today!

Download or read book The Stream s Secret written by Rodger Drew and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante Gabriel Rossetti is amongst the most famous figures of the Victorian era. An eminent artist and a founder member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, his art and life have fascinated scholars for decades. However, despite an existing acknowledgement of Rossetti's use of symbolism, specialists have neglected to analyse its nature and its sources, as well as its content. In The Stream's Secret, Rodger Drew highlights a facet of the artist's work that has hitherto gone largely unexplored. By offering a comprehensive analysis of Rossetti's paintings and poetry, Drew shows that the artist widely employed themes and motifs drawn from the Hermetic magical system which later developed into Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. The author connects this symbolism toa comprehensive European tradition dating from Plato and Pythagoras, through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance and later periods. This deep insight into Rossetti's works allows the reader to gain a better understanding of the existing bond betweenRossetti's paintings and his poetry, as well as to appreciate the importance of symbolism as a language in the artistis ouvre. More generally, Drew gives his reader an overall view of the use of symbolism in the art of the Aesthetic Movement. Drew's workis a fully original study of Rossetti's Symbolism, and an essential resource for teachers, researchers, and Art History students, and for anyone interested in the Pre-Raphaelite Movement. This is a fundamental guide to a proper understanding of late 19thcentury art.
