Book Description
The pursuit of the man who murdered their life-long friend on the streets of London has forced Giles, Michael, Francis, and their newfound companion Vasily to the shores of far-off Brazil, an unfamiliar land to them. They are forced to rely on themselves only to traverse through dark paths to catch the mysterious fleeing criminal, Alikhan. Unbeknownst to them, they have become players in a global struggle among Illuminati-like forces, each striving to land the ultimate death blow to dominate the other. The mystery cargo transported south by Alikhan is one such terrorism operation that the three friends from London inadvertently have been dragged into. They are forced to confront many terrors as before they lay many crime networks that plague the region. They must find a way to capture Alikhan and stop his supporting gang from transporting the dangerous cargo across southern Brazil. Along their journey, they find themselves always behind their enemy, outgunned and outnumbered, always striving to anticipate the next move and purpose of the criminals. Constantly presented with the natural choice to quit and flee, the four muster their courage to continue, only to find that fortune sometimes smiles on them. They are rewarded with help found from new friends. Their quest stretches from the Atlantic Ocean coast and proceeds further from civilisation towards the sparsely inhabited regions in the interior where bandits reign supreme. As they race further west into Brazil’s interior, the scale and reach of destruction, pillaging and banditry shock and horrify the companions. Unknown to the outside world, long has this region suffered under the persecution of those who seek power and profit. They discover by accident hidden people who still hold out against the evildoers and share a common enemy. But the plans and machinations of the criminals are fast coming to fruition, and the friends are forced to divulge details of the conspiracy of the dangerous cargo they are pursuing. They are thrown into a last desperate war of life and death for the persecuted people of the region. Murder and destruction sweep the lands as the friends are scattered and pushed to oblivion. The search for peace, happiness, and redemption strains their relationship. Giles’ underlying struggles to find joy in this world force him to question the point of continuing towards more significant dangers and seeing him at odds with those who want to persevere. He finds romance with an astute local woman, Elisabetta, who offers Giles the path to a new serene life. Torn in two and faced with the choice to continue pursuing Alikhan or grasp his dreams with Elisabetta, Giles is ultimately forced towards a lonely end where betrayal and death become his last companions.

Book Description
A nobleman must work with a dashing soldier to save his sister from a mystical bargain gone awry in this swoon-worthy romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material. It is the year 1815, and Mr. John Caesar is determined to help his sister, Mary, successfully navigate the marriage mart. A high-stakes endeavor at the best of times, this task is made slightly more difficult by his family’s nontraditional background, the pernicious whims of the ton, and the ever-present complication of living in a world full of scheming fairies and capricious gods. Despite all that, John knows that his parents wish to see his sister comfortably settled. He also knows that the sooner he sees Mary’s future secured, the sooner he can get his own wish—returning to an aristocratic life of leisure. And as for Mary? Sweet, sensitive Mary just wishes gentlemen would pay as much attention to her as they do to her younger sister. When Mary’s all-too-literal wish puts her squarely in the sights of a malicious fairy godmother, John sets out to save her. This choice throws him into the path of Captain Orestes James—the handsome up-from-the-ranks hero of Wellington’s armies—and his ragtag band of misfits. Together, John and the captain will venture into a vicious world of fey bargains and sacrificial magic as they draw ever closer to rescuing Mary—and to each other. While John is no stranger to casual dalliances with soldiers, until now he’s never expected one to last—or wanted one to. He and the captain come from different worlds, and even if Orestes feels the same, John knows there’s no point in wishing for something more between them. After all, John has learned firsthand that getting what you wish for can be a dangerous thing. . . .

Book Description
"A pioneering study of a unique narrative form, Words about Pictures examines the special qualities of picture books--books intended to educate or tell stories to young children. Drawing from a number of aesthetic and literary sources, Perry Nodelman explores the ways in which the interplay of the verbal and visual aspects of picture books conveys more narrative information and stimulation than either medium could achieve alone. Moving from "baby" books, alphabet books, and word books to such well-known children's picture books as Nancy Ekholm Burkert's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Gerald McDermott's Arrow to the Sun, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and Chris Van Allsburg's The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, Nodelman reveals how picture-book narrative is affected by the exclusively visual information of picture-book design and illustration as well as by the relationships between pictures and their complementary texts."--pub. desc.

Book Description
Three things warned the wizard’s apprentice that something was wrong: first the deep-trodden prints of iron-shod hooves along the forest path—he sensed them through his boots before stooping to feel them out in the dark; next, the eerie drone of a bee unnaturally abroad by night; and finally, a faint aromatic odor of burning.
