At the end of the sixteenth century, Troung Van Ba was a devoted agent to the secret No Name Society. He was given an assignment to obtain a precious icon, a jade cross, from a Chinese master craftsman in China. The cross was to be a uniting icon to unite Dai Viet and Annam. He knew his trek would be long, difficult, and perilous. There would be stations at some subhamlets along the way for food, rest, and updates on trail hardships, as well as the possibility of robbers. At one such subhamlet, he was told the route had been changed because of a compromise and was informed he now had a sixteen-year-old guide, Tran Thi Mot, at which he rebelled. During the trek, there would be hardships in their travel, attacks by bandits and the No Name's enemies, finding a true friend, delivering the cross, and of course, love.

For millennia, Tol has known peace, but now ancient fears resurface as the northern empire of Nordinium invades the Southlands. Amidst the chaos, two young orphans, Perrin and Bren, are thrust into a struggle far beyond their understanding. Sent to the remote village of Hightop, they unknowingly hold the key to the resistance. Martyn, a seemingly inconsequential tinker with a dubious reputation, is assigned an impossible task: to liberate the Southlands from the oppressive Brocken soldiers. With his uncanny ability to appear in multiple places at once, he must unite the fractured Southlands under a single banner. Allies emerge in unexpected forms, including the elusive elf huntress Chelke, and the legendary wolf riders led by Devron and Varellon. As Martyn navigates the dangers of the occupied territories and works to form alliances, he uncovers a deeper threat involving northern mages' treachery. The real battle looms ahead, as enemies must unite to harness the power needed to push back the darkness. The fate of Tol rests on the rise of the seven ancient warriors, the uniting of the Southlands prince with the Elven heir and revealing the legendary sword, Light Bearer - Chaos Cleaver. Will the fragile peace hold, or will the ancient threat engulf Tol once more?

In more than four hundred interviews with retired and soon-to-retire professors, Lorraine Dorfman uses a case study method to convey the diversity of individual retirement experiences. In doing so, she provides a fuller picture of academic retirement. Her book addresses basic issues in the retirement process, including topics such as preparation for retirement, choosing where to live after retirement, evaluation of the retirement experience, and activity patterns during retirement. Retired professors describe both their professional activities, such as teaching, research, and consulting, their nonprofessional and leisure activities, and their strategies for successful retirement. Based on more than a decade of interviews with retired and retiring professors in the United States and the United Kingdom, Dorfman's study relies on both tape-recorded responses to open-ended questions as well as answers to a written questionnaire. The interviews included professors from a large public research university, three liberal arts colleges, a comprehensive university (all located in the Midwest), and two old civic universities in the U.K. The Sun Still Shone is the first book to provide comparative information on academics from different kinds of institutions in a cross-national context; it also provides comparisons based on academic discipline, gender, and age.
