History does not happen in a vacuum. Decisions made in one decade set the conditions for events in subsequent decades. Likewise, yesterday’s “deciders” author tomorrow’s history. Wilderness of Mirrors is the backstory of key historical events and figures. It is NOT however, the history of good decisions made by wise leaders. Quite the contrary. The question is then, how do these immoral and unethical master manipulators stay in power? It’s all very predictable. They engage the levers of power available to them – or someone they know – revising history, expunging their part in ...

He’d made mistakes...more than a few and probably didn’t deserve the second chance he’d been given. But he was going to do everything he could to prove himself worthy of it. And now with Jansen’s arrival to the canyon...one more person in addition to himself and his grandfather with ties to the island...the stakes were even higher. Ray didn’t have a single doubt that a number of individuals were wondering where he’d disappeared to. With luck it would stay that way...but if it didn’t he probably wouldn’t be around to worry about it. He’d arrived on the island with a ...

This eBook has examined the lost Atlantis not as a simple mystery to be solved, but as a complex and enduring idea shaped by philosophy, history, myth, and human imagination. Beginning with Plato’s accounts in Timaeus and Critias, Atlantis emerges as a carefully constructed narrative that blends moral instruction with political reflection. Plato presented Atlantis as a powerful and technologically advanced society whose downfall was caused not merely by natural catastrophe, but by ethical decay and hubris. Whether inspired by real events or not, his story was designed to convey lessons ...

A divine war once shattered the world. Now, it begins anew—unnoticed, and bathed in blood. Tommy is the son of a fisherman in a quiet lakeside village, where nothing truly dangerous has happened in generations. But when monstrous warriors descend from the woods, slaughtering everything he’s ever known, Tommy is thrown into a world of violence, prophecy, and secrets his father spent a lifetime hiding. Fleeing across the inland sea, the survivors carry more than trauma—some carry buried power. Among them, an elven woman with a hidden past, a dwarf whose grief burns hotter than his forge...

The dead have been buried. Silence is broken. And secrets refuse to stay where they lay. As the troop pushes east toward Harper’s Creek, the weight of their survival in Windyspring lingers—along with a growing fear of what lies ahead. Tommy’s power evolves beyond even the elves’ understanding, and Arisaylia begins to question whether the path she and her son will walk was ever theirs to choose. Back in Redtail Hold, Sella finds herself drawn into a role far greater—and more dangerous—than her songs alone. Her rising influence in the eyes of the elves threatens the balance of the...

The troop survived Resthaven. But survival was just the beginning. Donnor leads his ragtag force of villagers, conscripts, and outsiders deeper into the southern reaches of the Serensea. Their mission: find and defend the last remaining settlements from the ondilaan. But the enemy has changed—and so has the troop. As Tommy comes into his own as both a mage and a chronicler, he wrestles with the burden of power, the scars of war, and the discovery of a lineage that shakes his identity. Beside him, Arisaylia’s magic deepens beyond her control, while Donnor is haunted by a loss he cannot ...

Aeons ago an ancient war ravaged the land, and no one knows why. Havoc has gripped the Endless Plains. The Ondilaani hordes have assaulted Redtail hold, beaten back by the unlooked-for army of the Vale. But that army did not come to save the Hold. No. The elven army has another purpose, a purpose their leader has abandoned Lord Maorilan to pursue. In Silverlake, the troop has rescued the survivors from a slow death. But after days of rest and healing they were assaulted in the night, ambushed amidst a well-deserved celebration. Taken by surprise, during a moment of peace. What is happening ...

This was the moment in life they'd prepared for without believing anything would ever come of it...they were wrong. Danae knew before she ever heard her brother’s voice that it was bad...and it didn’t take long to find out just how bad it was. She and everyone in her family had always understood the high cost of secrets...and quickly learned that sometimes the price of truths was far more costly. It took her even less time to realize that she’d never really known true fear. She did now and knew that the heart-pounding terror she’d experienced in those handful of moments when a gun ...

Her mother’s eyes were enchanted places, filled with mystery, until she blundered in out of her depth. She was the reason Thecla could never make sense of the fairy story, Snow White. To her, the wicked Queen was always the most beautiful in the land and not her insipid stepdaughter. How could the mirror get it so wrong? To quote from one of the reviews of this book: "There are no easy outs and there is nothing predictable about this book. Don't miss it." And another (Canada): "Deeply moving and mesmerising. I was captivated....the story inexorably moves ahead catching the reader in its ...

Herein lies my memories and recounting of our order’s initial encounter with the survivors from Lehntarn, and their leader, one Rahdimus Ghaan. From this point forward, I fear the Monachi Spirae have been unknowingly altered, and dare I say, inexorably and unwittingly changed. For good or ill, I do not know. May the Pantheon grant us mercy through their wisdom and grace. Abbot Makun Derring 1547 a.f. I write these words with trembling hand, and pray the Pantheon will forgive what I have become... Long hidden within the walls of the Tower of Knowledge, the monks of the Spire believe ...
