Hidden for Survival Stohrm Vellis was three when she was hidden in the Human Realm and thus has no knowledge of the realm in which she was born—the Royal House of Hoarfrost—one of five Houses within the Fifth Realm. At the age of nineteen, she is about to discover the origins of myths and legends. Secrets and Lies The King of Hoarfrost is planning to reign for another millennium until he learns that his granddaughter lives. He will do anything to keep her from claiming the crown that is rightfully hers as the Chosen, including starting a war. Hunt and Destroy Others seek not only her death, but also Gladius Exitium—the Sword of Destruction—which can only be wielded by the Princess.

Book Description
After earning the loyalty of three companions—a forest dwarf named Teddy, a gnome named Kip, and a sea elf named Finn—and the dear friendship of a bearkin named Ashroot, young Mara believed her trials were over. Now with a real dragonwolf in tow, she must sail to the forbidden lands to face the harbingers of chaos and prevent their leader from spreading its poison through all Ambergrove. The forbidden lands were forbidden for a reason, and it will take all their strength to withstand the pull of chaos and the temptations of Earth’s conveniences. Darkness and doom hang over them as they trek through the forbidden lands, facing gunslinger goblins, the perils of doomed cities, and their deepest fears before ultimately confronting an evil that brings Mara to her knees. All too soon, she will have to face the loss of her uncle, a dear friend, or someone who could be more—all while fighting her past and working to save Ambergrove’s future. Within the realm of chaos, darkness has the advantage, and for the Dragonwolf of Aeunna, the losses may be more than she can bear.

Book Description
An ancient evil has already killed Scottie once, and is now stalking her along the Appalachian Trail, bent on destroying her soul for good. Scottie Walker’s fingertips burn when she gets upset, and when her stressful job and emotionally abusive boyfriend push her to the brink, her touch almost burns down her townhouse. So she starts over—and the first thing she’s doing is a six month thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail...one that will dredge up a dark past life far worse than the current one she’s running from. Something evil is stalking her...and the only person who can help save her is mysterious man on the trail who claims to know her from ‘before.’ The ‘before’ where they died together on this trail in 1959. And whatever this unknown, compelling force is, it’s not going to stop until it kills them again. If her fire-wielding powers aren’t enough to stop it, the only hope of survival is coming from beyond the grave. So, armed only with her burgeoning magical abilities and the help of a rag-tag group of hikers, Scottie tries to outrun the Vexing. But the closer she gets to the truth of what happened in 1959, the closer she gets to the dead. She knows them. She remembers them. And if she fails, she’ll become one of them. This time, for good. Fans of Stephen King, Nora Roberts, and Shannon Mayer will love this chilling, paranormal women’s fiction thriller with a hint of romance. Scroll up and one-click to start reading Trail Marked today!

Book Description
This largely self-contained textbook on qualitative dynamics and chaos is intended for a broad audience of readers who are interested in describing systems that change over time using a mathematically simple, but conceptually rigorous, framework centered around descriptive sequences of symbols. This framework also allows readers who may not have a large amount of mathematical training to develop an unambiguous understanding of the notion of chaos and related aspects of dynamical systems theory. Concepts and techniques are introduced in the first parts of the book, which are later expanded to more mathematically abstract ideas in the latter parts of the book. For those who are already have some mathematical training, this text is intended to be an alternative to standard symbolic dynamics textbooks which both mildly generalizes their scope and specifically centers its discussion around dynamical systems theory aspects. It uses the notion of a "falsifiable system"—a type of set of infinite symbol sequences, which is an extension of both formal languages and symbolic dynamical systems—as a central conceptual link between the theory of formal languages and the study of chaos, and allows readers a method to identify chaos within such systems (and systems equivalent to them) by entirely graphical methods. The latter parts of the book then focus on how to apply these methods to understand the dynamics of more traditional, numerically-based systems.

Book Description
"Can you, can you? Feel our rhythmic beat. No sword in sight, Yeah our voice, fierce and fleet. Birds soar up high, Uncontainable to the sky. When robin meets swan, She told them to run, If Star and moon intertwined Fate of the land was signed." In a dystopian world where everything is twisted with lies, what will you do to stop it? Humanity or love? Humanity or wealth and power? Choose the most important thing. You can't just expect that just because you decide to have a pet one day and train it to behave as you want, they will. Sometimes the pet under your care will behave differently than what you expect.

Book Description
What are counterfactuals and what is their point? In many cases, none at all. It may be true that if kangaroos didn't have tails, they would fall over, but they do have tails and if they didn't they wouldn't be kangaroos (or would they?). This is the sort of thing that can give counterfactuals a bad name, as inhabitants of a La La Land of the mind. On the other hand, counterfactuals do useful service across a broad range of disciplines in both the sciences and the humanities, including philosophy, history, cosmology, biology, cognitive psychology, jurisprudence, economics, art history, literary theory. They are also richly, albeit sometimes treacherously, present in the everyday human realm of how our lives are both imagined and lived: in the 'crossroads' scenario of decision-making, the place of regret in retrospective assessments of paths taken and not taken, and, at the outer limit, as the wish not to have been born. Christopher Prendergast take us on a dizzying exploratory journey through some of these intellectual and human landscapes, mobilizing a wide range of reference from antiquity to the present, and sustained by the belief that, whether as help or hindrance, and with many variations across cultures, counterfactual thinking and imagining are fundamental to what it is to be human.
