Using the ancient magic bestowed upon them as their guide, Sylvie and Jack traverse the icy ranges that surround the Diamond Alps. The core of the four Institutes, however, is not as tranquil as its silent gateway suggests. Behind the scenes, an internal struggle for power rages as the Zenith Council strives to elect their new leader. Gridlock among the Diamond Alps’ top brass has brought the entirety of the north to a standstill, and the pair arrive just as tensions peak. But Sylvie and Jack quickly realize that the real danger does not lie within the Diamond Alps, rather in the snowy plains outside of it. The mountains that make up the north are home to a heinous secret. A forgotten god tied to the past slumbers beneath a once venerated altar deep in the heart of the mountains. As events spiral out of control, the ancient plot that devastated the First Zenith is finally dragged into the light. Bearing the burden of Thelarius Merve’s legacy, Sylvie and Jack must face off against the bloody ambitions of a man they believed long dead in one last epic struggle.

Diamond is the record-setter in many mineralogical properties such as hardness, diffusivity, thermal conductivity, purity, and covalency of bonding. Similarly, diamond, as the premier gemstone of the mantle holds primacy for geological features such as age and depth of origin. Diamond was among the first crystalline structures to be solved by X-ray diffraction and the first materials measured for their Raman spectrum. At more than 80 billion USD in yearly commercial value, diamond sets the record for the most traded, valuable mineral on the planet. Despite its chemical simplicity, diamond has been the object of more research effort, and had more scientific and popular press pages written about it, than any other mineral.

With their newfound possession in hand, Sylvie and Jack uncover the truth behind the First Zenith's hidden past, but every answer only shapes more questions. Their journey leads them to the heart of the Weeping Grove, where they might fill the gaps of their knowledge and find safe passage to their next destination. Unbeknownst to them, the west stirs with whispers of violence and blood. All Institutes have their skeletons, but there are some that have the power to shatter entire nations. Neither are willing to let that happen. They seek to handle matters quietly, only to discover that the tumultuous relationship between the western practitioners and their degrading Potentate Union has finally peaked. An internal struggle blossoms before their eyes, where they must fight to survive… or die in the attempt. Amidst it all, old comrades gather, new enemies appear, and an ardent purist plots to restore the world to its former order. Sylvie and Jack learn how the consequences of one man’s life can echo long after his death, marking new beginnings as a reminder that history can only be scripted by those left standing.

With the Drowned Tower in shambles and its practitioners left to wander the foreign lands of Ferus Terria, Sylvie and Jack set out to learn more about the stone’s history. Their first stop: the Red Veld. But finding answers isn’t as easy as simply inquiring. They quickly find themselves stepping into an entire Institute of uncooperative practitioners, banding with an eccentric auctioneer, and standing against a horde of hired Nebbin. Where they must carve a path for themselves or risk losing what little they have left—it isn’t much of a choice. The pair barrel blindly through the dark. While unknown to them, the Zenith Council stirs with revolts surging in the west and Jack’s closest friend is captured by slavers interested in learning the secret to magic. The world continues to spin. But together, they realize the mystery behind the rise of the First Zenith and uncover truths that could rock the very foundation of the Institute that governs them. Some secrets, however, should never be brought to light. And there are those that would kill to keep it that way.

This book provides a comprehensive review of drilling technologies in the polar regions, from the portable drilling equipment for shallow sampling and coring, to heavy drilling equipment for deep onshore and offshore drilling. Particular attention is given to safe drilling methods in permafrost. In recent years, interest in drilling in the polar regions has increased under the pressure of the geopolitical “rush” and the undiscovered resource potential. In addition, borehole monitoring of permafrost thermal states is urgently needed to obtain evidence of climate change. The book focuses on the latest drilling technologies but also discusses the historical development of sampling, and drilling tools and devices, over the last 60–70 years providing valuable insights into a way forward and future possibilities.
