From debut fantasy author Josh VanBrakle comes an epic new trilogy of friendship, betrayal, and explosive magic inspired by Japanese mythology. Lodia's history declares lefthanded people dangerous and devil-spawned. For teenager Iren Saitosan, the kingdom's only known Left, that's meant a life of social isolation. To pass the time and get a little attention, he plays pranks on the residents of Haldessa Castle. They're harmless fun, until one of his stunts almost kills Lodia's charismatic heir to the throne. Now to avoid execution for his crime, Iren must join a covert team and assassinate a bandit lord. It's a suicide mission, and Iren's chances aren't helped when he learns that his new katana contains a dragon's spirit, one with a magic so powerful it can sink continents and transform Iren into a raging beast. Adding to his problems, someone on Iren's team is plotting treason. When a former ally launches a brutal plan to avenge the Lefts, a vengeance one thousand years in the making, Iren finds himself trapped between competing loyalties. He needs to figure out who - and how - to trust, and the fates of two nations depend on his choice. "A fast-paced adventure...led by a compelling cast of characters. Josh VanBrakle keeps the mysteries going." - ForeWord Reviews

HERE BE DRAGONS! Behold the ultimate "Book of the Dragon" for modern magick-users and fantasy enthusiasts alike--now completely revised and expanded for its 25th anniversary. This underground cult-classic "Draconomicon" offers powerful teachings and lore of ancient "dragon magick" and its legacy. Discovering true knowledge, wisdom and power of the Dragon has never been easier! Joshua Free--a leading member of the occult underground for the past twenty-five years--provides seekers with a unique and remarkable treasury of esoteric knowledge in this new amazing collector's edition of what is sure to be the perfect addition to your library and/or "dragon collection." Come and initiate yourself to the Ancient Mystery School and venture on a progressive journey through the Dragon Legacy--beginning in the depths of the Primordial Abyss and primeval birth of the "Great Cosmic Dragon" and following through the many millennium of secret knowledge carried to the present age...and the future! Whether you are simply curious, or seeking to explore deep teachings that may incorporate "dragons" into your spiritual and magical systems, the Draconomicon is unparalleled research and testimony to a quarter-of-a-century modern occult evolution, sparking hundreds of traditions. The Dragon Legacy is an important and integral part of the history and traditions of all cultures, and subsequently underlies all cultural magical traditions--not to mention symbols and motifs that lie beneath the development of human civilization as a whole. Nothing is separate. And this is one of the lessons we learn from The Dragon--that everything is connected together and we cannot see things in exclusion to other things if we are to see things, with Self-honesty, for how they truly are--another gift of The Dragon. Hidden in the depths of the Dragon's Lair is an untold legacy of knowledge and power, secret societies and bloodlines, cults and symbols encompassing our entire material existence--and the means by which it can be controlled. It is quite possible this is among the best kept secrets in the history of occultism, even enshrouded in a cacophony of grand conspiracies. And in its most ancient forms, it is the undefiled, raw and primordial Truth of things--just as we would expect the Druids, wizards and sages of old to understand them. And with understanding comes wisdom.
In an age of fear and insecurity, in which ethnic nationalism continues to give rise to conflict and war, we dare not avoid critical engagement with biblical texts that have been used to justify colonialism, conquest, occupation, and ethnic cleansing. Building on the idea of Scripture as dialogue partner, Matties advocates for the book of Joshua even as he engages in a difficult conversation with it. In his commentary, the twenty-fifth volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, Matties calls for an openness to the unexpected in the book of Joshua. He suggests that reading Joshua carefully will open windows into how and why we read Scripture at all.
