From the acclaimed author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL comes a deeply emotional romance about heartbreak, hope, and learning to love against all the odds. Once the golden boy of the English literary scene, now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction, Ash Winters has given up on hope, happiness, and—most of all—himself. He lives his life between the cycles of his illness, haunted by the ghosts of other people's expectations. Then a chance encounter throws him into the path of Essex-born Darian Taylor. Flashy and loud, radiant and full of life, Darian couldn't be more different...and yet he makes Ash laugh, reminding him of what it's like to step beyond the boundaries of his anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can no longer see a way out. Can a man who doesn't trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can someone who doesn't believe in happiness ever fight for his own?

This is the only book to deal with classical Islamic cosmology as it was formulated by the Ikhwan al-S'afa al Biruni and Ibn Sina during the tenth and eleventh centuries. These figures influenced all the later centuries of Islamic history and in fact created the cosmological framework within which all later scientific activity in the Islamic world was carried out--the enduring image of the cosmos within which Muslims have lived during the past millennium. Nasr writes from within the Islamic tradition and demonstrates how, based on the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet, the figures treated in this work integrated elements drawn from various ancient schools of philosophy and the sciences. This book is unique in its treatment of classical Islamic cosmology as seen from within the Islamic world-view and provides a key for understanding of traditional Islamic thought.

“This has become my second favorite series right behind Harry Potter. I will continue to read this series again and again and be sad every time I get to the end. Worth every second!” – Nathan F. From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the exciting finale in the Aunare Chronicles When Amihanna di Aetes first got to Sel’Ani, she never thought she’d have the full support of the Aunare, but she does. She never thought that she’d fall in love, get married, or become the High Queen, but she did. She never thought that she’d be planning something so stupid as her return to Earth, but that’s exactly what she’s doing. With the Alliance broken, SpaceTech has fully retreated to their home planet, but the chaos of war will descend again. Amihanna and Lorne know they don’t much time to plan their next move. Everything in their guts tells them to head straight to Earth but going into the heart of SpaceTech’s territory is stupid, reckless, and very likely deadly. Amihanna and Lorne have one chance to end this war quickly, protect the Aunare, free the Earther’s from SpaceTech’s rule, and save Declan, Ahiga, and the missing ABQ Crew members. Trying to do it all feels impossible, but Amihanna has never been one to back down from a challenge, especially when defeating SpaceTech was never just her mission. It’s her destiny. hr Binge the complete Aunare Chronicles series now! Book 1: Off Planet Book 2: Off Balance Book 3: In Command Book 4: On Mission Book 5: On Destiny hr “The action was non-stop and the author crafted an extremely satisfying ending.” – Sheila Kay, Author “The Aunare Chronicles has been a thrilling sci-fi adventure from start to finish with enough romance to swoon and action to delight. On Destiny is the stunning conclusion that far from disappoints, leaving the series in victory and the reader satisfied. A must-read for any and all fans of space, big tech overlords, alien kingdoms, and the ever-inspiring grit of humanity.” – Angela, Pooled Ink Reviews “I have read both the Alpha Girl and Aunare Chronicles series by Aileen Erin, and she is honestly one of the very few authors I can say I’ve reread her books more than once... If you’ve followed this series, you won’t be disappointed... Plenty of twist and turns along with the return of some characters from the first book in the series. [It’s] the epic battle that everything was leading up to.” – T. Rohring
