Download or read book The Quest for Myst written by Victoria Weaver-Morrow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, confusion seized the common folk as magickal creatures wreaked havoc upon their world by introducing magick the people did not understand. Kingdoms were torn apart as evil wizards took over. Now, the peaceable people with delicate magick are being hunted and drained of their powers. They must bring down the imposing evil forces if they hope to restore peace and calm in their land. The prince of the commoner's realm, Alexander of the North, thought he had escaped this darkness until the death of his mother made him a warrior-and a hero with a dark secret. Even worse, he's prone to making mistakes. Promising his sister, Victoria, that she would be the new princess of the West is his first mistake; the second is falling in love with Myst, a fair maid from a misty pool. But Myst is more than just a peasant and has power beyond those of the mighty wizard for whom she is an apprentice. When Myst sacrifices herself to save the kingdom from war, Alex gathers an incredible group of people to save her from the clutches of evil. But will Alex's powerful secret come back to haunt him? I was so taken in by Ms. Victoria's prose/storytelling abilities. I found in The Quest for Myst a riveting, captivating, banquet of a tale from an author with an imagination not of this world. To further the enjoyment, just when I thought it safe to sit back and relax in the read, she would drop these lines, these witty pearls of thinking author's humor. It is not often that I suggest books to others, but with The Quest for Myst you simply cannot go wrong. FW Bosworth, Author Never Play Leapfrog with a Unicorn

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming the Iceman is a project inspired by Wim and Justin to show the world that anyone can adopt the ability to become an Iceman or Icewoman. The project's goal is to show that the ability to control the body's temperature is not a genetic defect in Wim, but an ability that can be adopted by everyone. For many generations, we have been taught to fear the cold: "Don't forget your jacket You don't want hypothermia, do you?""Put your gloves on before you get frostbite "Of course, these are consequences of extreme cold exposure, but with the proper understanding, anyone can learn to use the cold as a natural teacher.You may have seen Wim Hof on television running barefoot through the snow or swimming in ice-cold waters. While performing those incredible feats, Wim remained completely warm and comfortable the entire time Wim is the epitome of what can happen if someone uses the cold to train the body. Like any new tool, you must understand how it works before you can use it efficiently. This pertains to the cold as well. You may be wondering, "How can you prove that anyone can learn this ability?Well, as of Fall 2009, Justin Rosales had no experience with the cold whatsoever. He was a college student attending Penn State University. After Justin's friend, Jarrett, showed him one of Wim's videos on You-Tube, he became exceedingly interested in understanding this ability. He wanted to see if it was possible for anyone to learn. In Spring 2010, after speaking to Wim for several months via email, Wim invited Justin to attend his workshop in Poland. After many weeks of working as a dishwasher, Justin was able to pay for the trip and learn the technique of the Iceman.With more training and countless experiences with the cold, Justin began to slowly adapt. The length of time he could remain exposed increased dramatically. He quickly realized that the technique to withstand the cold was, indeed, an ability that could be learned by everyone. This book tells the tale of Wim and Justin's journey to Becoming the Iceman

But when a supernatural attack steals Ramhart’s soul, Max—with the help of a few new friends—must go on a quest to find his grandfather’s renowned Field Guide, an enchanted book that contains all the knowledge Ramhart has gathered about defeating unearthly nemeses. And if they don’t find the book fast, Glimmerville will crumble into chaos, and Max will lose the only person who’s ever made him feel at home.
