Book excerpt: The evil wizard Naagesh, armed with newly discovered forbidden secrets of dark magic, stole Avani's key to the Citadel and starts the clock ticking to open Pandora's Portal. If he succeeds, the creatures locked inside will plunge Elfhaven back into the Age of Darkness where demons will once again rule the world. The portal first opened a thousand years ago. At that time, it took hundreds of wizards in league with star beings and the Keepers of the Light to send the creatures back to their home world and seal the forbidden portal forever. Unfortunately, there are no longer hundreds of wizards nor star beings and Avani is the last of the Keepers. How can Avani and Goban stop the portal from opening? They'd need Tom's help, but he's back on Earth. Even if they could find away to bring Tom back; to catch Naagesh, they'd have to follow him through the Pillars of the Giants, navigate the Deathly Bog while being hunted by goblins, giant magical spiders, swamp monsters, and mist wraiths. They'd have to cross the Plains of Illusions traipsing over sand dunes, past sinkholes, and the eerie Floating Mountains, discovering a lost civilization's underground city along the way. Even if they could somehow manage all that, they still must take back the evil wizard's stolen device and get it to the Citadel all within three days!

Download or read book Supernormal written by Meg Jay and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical psychologist and author of The Defining Decade, Meg Jay takes us into the world of the supernormal: those who soar to unexpected heights after childhood adversity. Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, everyday superheroes who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, students and readers. She gives a voice to the supernormals among us as they reveal not only "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?" These powerful stories, and those of public figures from Andre Agassi to Jay Z, will show supernormals they are not alone but are, in fact, in good company. Marvelously researched and compassionately written, this exceptional book narrates the continuing saga that is resilience as it challenges us to consider whether -- and how -- the good wins out in the end.

Unbeknownst to the four women caught in the twister, a dark destiny had befallen them. Willow gains the ability to create chaos, Penelope causes illness if she loses her temper, Felicity can drain a person to within an inch of their life, and Dynah can summon the dead.

Add in angels, demons, and enough raw magic to blow Colorado off the map, and you’ve got a recipe for the end of the world. Because a woman’s rage is just a fuse waiting to be lit, and once that day comes, the Apocalypse is nigh. *** Good Omens meets Westworld with a feminist twist.

From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new epic fantasy series: RISE OF THE DRAGONS (KINGS AND SORCERERS—Book 1). Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever. 15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.” --Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer
