Captured by savage bandits as a child and condemned to a life of servitude among Humans, she vows to find her people and discover her true place in the world. Risking her life, and sometimes her heart, she pursues her dream through many lands and adventures, mingling with kings, pirates, slaves, and unscrupulous merchants.

To avert disaster, it falls to Lauriel to heal the rift between Tuaneth and Humankind, bitter enemies for over a thousand years, but in the process, she finds unexpected passion, and her life is forever altered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years have passed since the dark tide of violent and malevolent creatures spilled into the realm from the ancient portal that should never have been opened. Adamar, an elderly but legendary elven swordsman sent to track the incursion, had found a small frightened girl, Lauriel Valendril, hiding in the shattered remnants of her destroyed elven village. After taking her in as his own, he finds that her traumatic experience creates an unrivaled ambition to learn to protect herself and others, and he begins to train her in the ancient and secretive elven fighting style of the Andulari. Through fierce determination and unrelenting practice, Lauriel unequivocally becomes one of his best students and masters the graceful but deadly technique at a very young age. Hearing murmurs of the ancient evil re-emerging, and sensing that his time to stand and fight has passed, Adamar gives Lauriel a gift that has been hidden from the realm for many ages—Isilmwé, an ancient blade of power, and with it, the responsibility to unlock the true power of the blade and defend the realm. The defenses of the realm quickly fall one by one and together with a wizard, warlock, healer, and fighter, Lauriel pushes forward on a quest to close the portal before all is lost. What began as a pursuit to avenge her family, ultimately turns into a battle for the very survival of the realm—a battle that Lauriel has trained her entire life to fight.

Download or read book Welcome to My Life written by Laurie L Hellmann and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Candid, Vulnerable, Informative, Inspirational When Skyler was three years old, he was diagnosed with severe, non-verbal autism. When he was 17, his mom wrote a book about his amazing life. From page one, Welcome to My Life delivers on its promise to place you squarely in Skyler's life, surrounded by mom and dad, Laurie and Josh, and superstar sister, Kendall. Detailed sensory descriptions take you to doctors' appointments and trick-or-treating, to Qdoba and the kitchen table, to the bathroom for another "pull-ups" change, to family gatherings, to the Autism Center, and to conversations and internal dialogue so honest that you'll feel like you're part of the family too. Welcome to My Life shares the 14-year journey of a true warrior mom advocating for her non-verbal, severely autistic son from diagnosis through his teenage years. This brutally honest and heartwarming account details the daily struggles and often lack of social understanding that families face when raising a child who relies on parental assistance for every need. "A memoir like no other -- truthful and raw, hilarious and unexpected, heartbreaking and uplifting. Laurie L. Hellmann's Welcome to My Life is a love letter to her son Skyler and a welcome letter to the masses. It is dose of reassurance to us all, and a reminder that the world -- even when it's unpredictable and frightening -- is still shimmering with silver linings and powerful lessons." Because He Has No Words and Yet So Much to Say For mothers and fathers, sister and brothers, autism isn't a personal diagnosis ... it's a family diagnosis. Especially when your autistic loved one copes with significant development delays, suffers from serious chronic medical conditions, is an insomniac, and exhibits behaviors that disrupt the flow of day-to-day life. Autism turns households inside out, cracks hearts wide open and turns daily routines upside down. Take a journey with Laurie L. Hellmann and explore: -- How Skyler's autism diagnosis shook and then restored her faith -- The realities of navigating divorce, co-parenting and new love when your child has special needs -- The emotional and physical toll (on Skyler and his family) of countless medical and behavioral treatments -- The difference between hope, false hope, acceptance and gratitude in the face of disappointment, uncertainty and fear -- The effects of autism on sibling relationships -- How autism can challenge and strengthen a marriage -- Why laughter is good medicine for us all Experience the laughter and love, unspoken bonds and unflagging devotion of one very special family. And be changed forever by the knowledge that a mother's love knows no bounds, and that autism -- though it presents various challenges -- does not define who a person is nor does it devalue or diminish their contributions to this world.

Book excerpt: Racism, Prejudice, and the struggle for civil rights in the future. Decades after the Holocaust, triggered by an accidental release of experimental germ warfare agents, the Perfect States of America is controlled by the National Apartheid Party. Since the ethnically-tailored biological agents eliminated most of the Caucasian population, the Black survivors have crafted a new society in America. However, their vision of society does not include the outlying Hispanic, Asian, and Native minorities that struggle to survive on the edge of this perfect society in isolated clans. Although the different clans seldom interact with each other, many share a hope for redemption according to an ancient prophecy. The visitor comes from afar to defeat the undefeated to lead his people to freedom with great magic, the warrior sacrifices himself for those not his own emissary to the future leader of clans the Supreme May'r. A stranger from another time instigates a series of events that threatens the stability of two societies. Daniel William's future journey-from visitor to provider, to clan warrior, to leader of clans-seems to fulfill an ancient prophecy, but his actions threaten the stability of both societies. Is it his destiny to share a common fate of those who challenge society's safety with radical ideas? When threatened with upheaval, society's leaders have always chosen to sacrifice one individual to protect the greater whole.
