In a world where everyone is born with wings, stone monsters prowl the skies, hunting those who dare to fly too high. In the Clandoms, every person is born with wings, along with the ability to fly. But there has always been one deadly restriction to this gift -- a rule that must never be broken. Flying in cloudy skies summons gargols, vicious stone monsters that will tear any poor trespassers apart. History doesn't tell where the gargols came from, or why they're so intent on punishing those who soar too high. But now Ellie Meadows thinks she knows why. An aspiring knight turned wanted fugitive, Ellie has seen the truth with her own eyes. The Clandoms' history has been taken from them, along with their ancestral homes. Only one person can return the Clandoms back where they belong. Nox Hatcher is the key to the skies, if only Ellie can get him to believe it.

Download or read book The Flight of the Phoenix to Liberation written by Phyllis Krystal and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flight of the Phoenix is Phyllis Krystal's last book completed at the end of her 102 years and 8 months of life. In it she describes her experience of arising from the "dark night of the soul" and transcending the old attachments of her egoic personality and following explicitly the demands of her Higher Self or Higher Consciousness (Hi C) as she called it in her work Cutting the Ties That Bind. She likens the flight of the Phoenix from its own ashes to the metamorphosis of the Monarch butterfly from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly and describes the pitfalls along the way. This book is suitable for all those who experience depression, the rigors of aging and the disappointment arising from unmet expectations in life. It will also appeal to those readers who are asking such important questions as what is life for? What is my purpose? Why am I here? How can I find happiness and peace of mind? The Flight of the Phoenix is the final chapter of the autobiographical spiritual journey Phyllis began to describe in Sai Baba: The Ultimate Experience. This last autobiographical book can provide spiritual guidance for those who wish to embark on an inner journey of transformation and it can support the reader in living from the Hi C without the deleterious influences of the conditioned, and often traumatized mind. Phyllis points out that the world itself is going through a similar period of transformation and this global journey and the personal journey are often intertwined. As we raise our personal consciousness, that of humanity will be raised as well. Thus reading this book can help us help ourselves as well as the world Individual chapters briefly summarize the Cutting The Ties That Bind Method of releasing attachment from all those people, objects, habits, work and desires that we mistakenly rely on for our identity and our security. This method has found interested students and clients internationally and is now supported by the Sidney and Phyllis Krystal Foundation in the USA Some of the important symbols and concepts are described such as the Ugly Duckling syndrome, thought forms, the phoenix and butterfly symbols. A last chapter takes us from the microcosm to the macrocosm and stresses the importance of guiding the children of the world who will ultimately lead us into the Golden Age predicted in the ancient vedas.

Unsuspected by the Gars, Kief’s little gang weaves together the perfect plot. However, Kief’s vengeful impulse for his father’s betrayal endangers all their lives and threatens the plan’s success. When he discovers that what the Gars are seeking in his mountain home will give them power over the entire world, he is forced to make a decision that could cost him his life. He comes to see that he is fighting for something greater than mere revenge. In the fight for his homeland Kief realizes he has more of a connection to the small white stone and the dark eagles’ charge to defend freedom than he ever imagined.
