On a freezing February day, a stranger emerges from out of the gray to request a room at a local provincial inn. Who is this out-of-season traveler?

Aroused by trepidation and curiosity, the local villagers bring it upon themselves to find the answers.

Evie is now queen of the protectors and rumored queen of the demons as well, but dealing with the black magic she can’t control is far more dangerous than either of those titles. The protectors have fallen, demons along with them, and earth is not far behind. Can Nix, Trex, Connor, and Azi help Evie survive a power no one understands? And that no one knows how to stop? With random portals opening everywhere on earth, a war to be won, and Cex tracking her every move, can the assassin-now-queen win the war?

Defending my claim to the throne will be easy, but defending my heart? That’s where everything could go wrong. Entering the royal court of the protectors was never going to be easy for someone like Evie, but at least she isn’t alone. Trex, Connor, and Nix are determined to show everyone who Evie really is - that she’s not just the heartless assassin they all fear and believe her to be. With whispers of war, the angels going missing, and tests that are far more deadly than anyone could have predicted…who will win the throne?

Evie survived a trip to hell, literally, to find herself somewhere even more dangerous: with the angels - angels who do not want to let her leave, not without paying a price for the life they saved. Angels. Demons. Protectors and more secrets than one world should hold. Who can Evie trust when everything is a lie? When it’s time for the assassin to return, and to claim what is hers, who will be on her side?

To stay free and, most importantly, alive, Daesyn has to swap places with a student who is due to go to a crazy academy. Royal Reaper Academy is a two-year test, and only one student comes out alive.

A peaceful night in Surrey is shattered when what is thought to be a meteor crashes into Horsell Common. Curious villagers approach the strange cylindrical object, only to be incinerated by a Martian heat-ray. Soon the invaders are sending out their terrible ’tripods’, causing devastation throughout England as ‘intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic’ gradually seek to eradicate the human race.

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was fascinated with imagined realities, alien worlds that intersect with human life, and the human condition developing throughout generations. With his keen observation of human behavior, Wells imagines worlds vastly different than the one in which he was writing.

Few people realize that raising children is the single largest industry in the United States. Yet this vital work receives little political support, and its primary workers—parents—labor in isolation. It's almost as if parents are set up to fail—and the result is lost opportunities that limit children's success and make us all worse off. In The Parent Trap, Nate Hilger combines cutting-edge social science research, revealing historical case studies, and on-the-ground investigation to recast parenting as the hidden crucible of inequality.

Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years. The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.

Being an outcast of the wolves was always something I accepted until I met them. The four alpha wolves of Fall Mountain Pack. They showed me I could be so much more than the rejected wolf they found on a beach and saved. They healed me and made me stronger, fixing what was broken in my soul.

Growing up in one of the biggest packs in the world, my life from the second I turn 18 is planned out for me: Find my true mate in the moon ceremony, giving me the power to share the shifter energy that is given to the males of the pack by the moon goddess herself; the power to shift into a wolf.

Two thousand four hundred years ago, Socrates and others were sitting around a fire debating questions that we still do not have answers to today. What does it really mean to live a just life? What does it mean to be a good person? These dialogues took place over 725 years before the Council of Nicea and 1000 years before the Quran was written, and still remain relevant in all our lives to this day.

Through a 'leaking' of time, the West African jungle starts to crystallize. Trees are metamorphosed into enormous jewels. Crocodiles encased in second glittering skins lurch down the river.
