Varric has two weeks left to live. That's the least of his problems. Twelve-year-old Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom's life. After all, it's his fault she's dying. But when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he's arrested for the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks, he'll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist. As if that weren't bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric's quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked and save all of humanity from destruction. Join Varric on his quest to save the realms in this fast-paced fantasy adventure full of action, magic, and magical creatures! EXCERPT: "Princess Setia," the queen said unenthusiastically. Her gaze drifted past Setia, slithered over Argo, and landed on Varric, who was still partially hidden by Argo's arm. Once she found Varric, her ice-cold gaze didn't move. Leaning sideways, she said to a nearby servant, "Make note that the floors will need to be sanitized. Monitor what they touch." She acted like she was whispering, but she didn't even try to keep her voice down. Varric was getting tired of people commenting on his appearance. It wasn't his fault he didn't have nice, clean clothes. Or a nice bath. Or all the nice things they had in their fancy palaces. He made a mental note to rub his hands all over the walls before he left. Maybe lick a few door handles, too.

But when she realizes that Noon, another attractive guy at school, is involved with the ToT, her curiosity gets the better of her. Kari stumbles upon a secret tunnel leading from her apartment to another in the building, where an ancient book holds images she can scarcely believe, and a cavernous room contains... something inexplicable. As Kari pieces together the incredible evidence, she discovers that the ToT is run by other-worldly beings called The Embodied who influence human behavior and have established a global long-term human breeding program. But why? And what is her role in all this? Just as she starts wondering whether the love she feels for Cruz is genuine or if her emotions are being controlled by The Embodied, her mother is kidnapped and Kari has to figure out who is human, who is Embodied, and who she can count on to help rescue her mother. Silent Symmetry is the exciting first novel in JB Dutton's EMBODIED trilogy. The second installment, Starley's Rust, was published to critical acclaim in January 2015, followed by book 3, Diamond Splinters in May 2016.

Relationships. The Visual Book for Teens and Tweens. A Comprehensive Guide to Friendship, Love, Self-Acceptance, Family Relationships, and ... by Ivi Green (11 Reviews)    Price verified 39 minutes ago

This relationship book for teens and tweens is the first and only visual guide to genuine relationships for a happier life. Making and keeping good relationships is essential. Harvard University scientists have found that deep relationships are the key to happiness and living a long life. Life is all about the connections we have with others. Being close to people can bring both joy and pain. So, how do we learn to make deep relationships? How do we teach our kids about it? On the one hand, there are plenty of books about happiness or relationship books that might take you years to read and won't give the answer. On the other hand, there's no specific class for that in school at the age we start to think about relationships and desperately need the answers. Every one of us has to figure it out independently and learn from mistakes, copying the connection style in our family or what we see around us. Most of the time, it works poorly. Let's change that! In the book "Relationships. The Visual Book for Teens and Tweens," we share simple ideas on how to build genuine relationships. Using colorful and easy-to-understand infographics, we answer questions that start bothering tweens around 12 years old: • How to feel positive about yourself and not stress about what others think of you • How to make friends and trust them • How to understand your parents and keep a good relationship with your family • What's essential in romantic relationships and when it's the right time • How to find people who get and support you and build your crew • What is going on in the world, and what can you do to make your world better In seven parts, we discuss all kinds of relationships: with inner self, family, friends, romantic partners, different groups, and the world around us. We start by discussing the relationship with yourself or your self-esteem because that's the base for all other connections. This chapter looks different, more like a personal diary with ...

Two captivating manuscripts in one book: • Alexander Hamilton: A Captivating Guide to One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America • Aaron Burr: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Aaron Burr and the Most Famous Duel in American History Alexander Hamilton is one of the most extraordinary figures in American history. A deep thinker, a military leader, and a political dynamo, he was George Washington's right-hand man and perhaps the most important figure in the shaping of the Constitution. His policies and practices in government set the United States down a path of commercial wealth and economic stability. His ideas still resonate in the powerful nation he helped create. During his time, Hamilton was a divisive figure. A political extremist who antagonized the conservative parts of the new republic while protecting its former opponents. The man at the heart of the nation's first major sex scandal. A political operator whose actions outraged opponents and eventually led to the duel that cost him his life. It was an extraordinary life, made more extraordinary by Hamilton's origins. He was an outsider, an immigrant from the Caribbean who arrived in New York to make a new life for himself. In doing so, he helped to shape the framework of politics and commerce in America. In retrospect, the amazing thing about his fame is not its recent resurgence, but that it took so long for him to be widely recognized. The first part of this book tells the story of Alexander Hamilton. The story of a nation born in blood, in struggle, and in the dynamism that immigrants could bring.

IX: Britannia's Lost Legion (Fiction Novels and Novellas) by Stephen Donald Huff (Capital Ideations LLC) (22 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Near the turn of the First Century, the Ninth Legion disappeared from frontier borderlands separating Romanized Britannia from the uncivilized lowlands of Caledonia. Between its first deployment there during Agricola's invasion in 84AD and the return of Emperor Hadrian in 122AD, all mention of the Ninth fades from memory. Although history speaks clearly of a massive uprising in the same region during 119AD, no authenticated record confirms the legion's military annihilation on a field of battle, and no evidence confirms its reassignment to any other region of the empire. Contemporary Rome, and all of history, seems to have simply forgotten the Ninth. Until now. Recent archeological discoveries clarify the legion's fate. As outlined in a unique letter penned two-thousand-years ago on a carefully preserved swatch of parchment, Legio IX's mysterious destiny is a tale of political intrigue, financial mismanagement, familial in-fighting, and social upheaval, all intermixed with the unyielding discipline required to keep a Roman legion safe in the field. For the first time since these events unfolded, the fully restored "Governor's Letter" identifies the men, women and children that collectively contrived the disaster. More informatively, the famed missive also clearly implicates its author as a central conspiratorial architect of the plot that resulted in the bloody revolt of 119AD and Legio IX's puzzling disappearance. Bold and thought-provoking, this account of the Ninth's intriguing doom rises from factual foundations constructed of moldering parchments, crumbling bones and toppled stones, all base materials of history's reconstruction.

ORC WORLD: WARNING - You'll never want to go out again... by Ed Bowie (Solus) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

If you enjoy doing nothing very much, then Orc School is probably the ideal place for you. Lessons consist mainly of listening to what the teacher has to say, no matter how boring it is - and trying to stay awake. Staying awake in orc classes is VERY IMPORTANT! Young orclings who fall asleep during lessons end up as school dinners. Discipline is straightforward. There are no detentions and no canes - and nobody ever has to clear litter from the playground, because there aren't any playgrounds. And, in the entire history of Orc School, no-one has ever been sent to the Principal's office. This probably sounds too good to be true - and that's because it is. There is only one punishment in Orc School: death. Death for being late for lessons, death for talking in class, death for all sorts of things. There are, in fact, 137 separate offences for which an offending orcling might lose their life - and this doesn't include teachers killing off pupils just because they feel like it. It's not unusual for a teacher to finish their class without a single student left alive.

A: My goal was to create a vast, epic world filled with various cultures for my readers to explore. There's so much more to my stories than what someone will get from one read through.

Q: What order should I read the books in? A: I've written my book series so that you can read the first four in any order. However, book five onward, I assume that the reader knows who everyone is and what had come before it. If you would like to see what my books are like, I frequently suggest that someone read The Book of Snow which is the fourth book in my series. It fills you in on what's come before.
