Book excerpt: The Herons take to the high seas to fend off pirates and rescue the heir to an empire in the newest adventure from John Flanagan, author of the worldwide bestselling Ranger's Apprentice! Includes BONUS content--a brand-new Ranger's Apprentice short story featuring fan-favorites Will and Maddie! In Hallasholm, Stig is contesting the annual Maktig competition to decide Skandia’s greatest warrior. But a late-night knock on the door brings someone Stig never expected to see again, along with a request the Herons are hard-pressed to refuse: a rescue mission of epic proportions. Across the ocean, the southern city-state of Byzantos is plagued by a crew of pirates who’ve kidnapped the son of Empress Justina. Slipping out of Hallasholm under the cover of darkness, the brotherband sets sail to recover the boy from his kidnappers, heading south to the island of Santorillos where a near-impenetrable fortress stands atop a cliff, surrounded by a lagoon—a caldera—formed by the crater of a volcano. In this explosive seventh book in the action-packed Brotherband Chronicles, the Herons battle pirates amid stormy seas as the fate of an empire rests on their shoulders.

Download or read book A Faithful Relationship With God written by Leo S Caldera and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Faithful Relationship with God provides a biblical framework for establishing and maintaining a faithful relationship with God based on four core elements of LOVE, FAITH, SEEK, and HONOR. Many of the same fundamental elements contribute to establishing and maintaining any healthy relationship, whether it be between a parent and child or a husband and wife. Active involvement, communication, and respect are good examples. Having a faithful relationship with God requires many of those same elements; however, the Bible entails very specific requirements. Applying this framework to your life does require the efforts of commitment and action, but I can promise you these efforts will pale in comparison to God's contributions, that include many physical and spiritual blessings, for those that sincerely seek a faithful relationship with Him!

Download or read book Free Wrench written by Joseph R. Lallo and published by Joseph R. Lallo. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug." Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity. Few believe the technologically advanced but socially barbarous outsiders have anything to offer. Amanita Graus, though, is hoping that they do. Nita's mother has lost her livelihood and perhaps soon her life to a terrible disease. Already the black sheep of the family for embracing engineering rather than art, Nita resolves to leave the safety of her home and do whatever it takes to find a cure. For a price, the bizarre crew of an airship called The Wind Breaker are willing to grant her a meeting with their mysterious benefactors, and thus a chance to procure the one thing with a chance to save her mother. Free-Wrench follows Nita’s adventures in a steampunk world of airships and lunatics. Helping her in her journey are an eccentric crew of smugglers; the gruff Cap’n Mack, the simple but enthusiastic Lil and Coop, the arrogant marksman Gunner, the surly surgeon Butch, and the irritable mascot Wink. To survive and find what she seeks she’ll need to earn their trust, follow their rules, and meet face to face with the people who pull the strings of their society.

Book excerpt: Lake Toba, the biggest volcanic caldera lake in the world, is surrounded by stories, mysteries, and myths. Despite its size it did not appear on any map until 1852, and even then explorers were deterred by stories of cannibals and headhunters. Prominent in the lake stands the massive Samosir Island, the Heart of Toba, the result of a volcanic resurgent dome. Foster joins an Indonesian team to learn about Toba Batak culture and history, delving into the history and geology, the traditional weaving of ceremonial ulos cloths, and the indigenous architecture. With the help of knowledgeable Batak within the caldera, he records stories of lost villages, seiches, unusual wildlife, and strange cultural beliefs. Traveling by kayak around the heart of Toba, Samosir Island, he meets fishermen in dugout canoes, and with the help of the knowledgeable son of a prominent Batak poet, learns about the island that once boasted more than two hundred kings. In this travel biography Foster presents a compelling picture of Batak life within the cradle of the caldera.
