DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn a daughter when she should have been a son, Elivya is drawn to sword and dagger rather than the niceties of her station. To her father's stone-faced Tuvrian, she is heresy incarnate, but Quintin's oath to House Lazerin binds him to obey and train her in the ways of combat. Her mother Nefira, a formidable woman with a mysterious past, arms her with another set of deadly skills that require no blade to employ: to observe, to manipulate, to move unseen. As the Persican empire closes in, determined to quietly supplant a king lost in his grief, Elivya will need every one of her hard-won skills - and allies - to set things right. BACK COVER: "Traitor. It is what they call me, still, in quiet circles and hushed conversations. There is little room for truth in the minds of ordinary men. Surely, I am what they say, accused and confessed by mine own lips. There are ghosts I will carry until the day I pass beyond this life to the far shore. Adulil knows, I am unworthy of His Mother's grace, but the crimes of which I am guilty are not the story entire." Pride is the signature trait of House Lazerin, and its young successor is no exception. In her unconventional position as a female heir, Elivya is raised with an equally unorthodox set of skills meant to help her navigate the dangers at Court and beyond. Securing an advantageous marriage, however, is not the only challenge that awaits her as she enters society. In Litheria, the city of light, heart of Alesia and seat of the royal House of Adulil, gossip is as dangerous to a young noblewoman as any assassin. As she navigates the nest of vipers that is King Amenon's Court, Elivya quickly realizes that her duty to her House may be the least pressing concern at hand. The calculated schemes of Persica, a neighboring empire bent on conquest, threaten to poison the very soul of her homeland, and in order to save her nation, she will have to betray it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe eviction of the crofters from their homes between 1792 and the 1850s was one of the cruellest episodes in Scotland's history. In this novel Iain Crichton Smith captures the impact of the Highland Clearances through the thoughts and memories of an old woman who has lived all her life within the narrow confines of her community. Alone and bewildered by the demands of the factor, Mrs Scott approaches the minister for help, only to have her faith shattered by his hypocrisy. She finds comfort, however, from a surprising source: Donald Macleod, an imaginative and self-educated man who has been ostracised by his neighbours, not least by Mrs Scott herself, on account of his atheism. Through him and through the circumstances forced upon her, the old woman achieves new strength.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author of The Holy Longing explores the debilitating obsessions that often dominate our lives and offers down-to-earth guidance for learning to leave our fears, anxieties, and guilt “forgotten among the lilies.” “Rarely do we taste the food we eat or the coffee we drink. Instead we go through our days too preoccupied, too compulsive, and too dissatisfied to really be able to be present for and celebrate our own lives,” Ronald Rolheiser writes in the introduction to this powerful collection of essays. Forgotten Among the Lilies shows that there is a better way to find contentment and joy. Only by trusting in God’s grace and providence, Rolheiser argues, can we move beyond our obsessions and rejoice in what we have and who we are. With his trademark blend of insight, compassion, and honesty laced with humor, the author teaches that it is possible to experience freedom instead of anxiety, solitude instead of loneliness, and a generosity of spirit that returns to the giver far more than it costs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBrutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central who was called “ahead of her time” by Jordan Peele “You’re going to want Tara Schuster to become your new best friend.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “Compelling, persuasive, and useful no matter where you are in your life.”—Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she’d hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a “ninja of self-love.” Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships, and shows how to • fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude • excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness • identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose • silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism • carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule • create a life you truly, totally f*cking LOVE This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it’s-so-cheesy way.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the Beauty of the Lilies begins in 1910 and traces God’s relation to four generations of American seekers, beginning with Clarence Wilmot, a clergyman in Paterson, New Jersey. He loses his faith but finds solace at the movies, respite from “the bleak facts of life, his life, gutted by God’s withdrawal.” His son, Teddy, becomes a mailman who retreats from American exceptionalism, religious and otherwise, into a life of studied ordinariness. Teddy has a daughter, Esther, who becomes a movie star, an object of worship, an All-American goddess. Her neglected son, Clark, is possessed of a native Christian fervor that brings the story full circle: in the late 1980s he joins a Colorado sect called the Temple, a handful of “God’s elect” hastening the day of reckoning. In following the Wilmots’ collective search for transcendence, John Updike pulls one wandering thread from the tapestry of the American Century and writes perhaps the greatest of his later novels.
