Their hero who would retrieve the ancient relic capable of ending their banishment and returning the Skyborne to their beloved home realm, Idia. Yet, ten years later, she never fully developed what they'd convinced her of. She had only a hairsbreadth more than the Common Power. They'd expected more from her. If she had failed, it didn't matter. To them she was a tool. They deemed her expendable, but Vera's know-how and prowess proved undefeatable. Now free from the confines of a life shrouded with secrets and those whose only goal is to use her; she faces a new challenge. But this time, the consequences are far more lethal. Something is awry in the Realm of the Banished. Unrest permeates the territories. Regent Karish's handsome son is out for revenge after discovering Vera's betrayal. The ember is missing, and a new enemy is breeding an aerial army of creatures capable of blocking the Skyborne from their source of power. With skepticism clouding her vision, she is torn between accepting her fate and losing the freedom she fought so valiantly to attain. Her unexpected tie to this ancient and powerful relic catapults her down a path she never believed in and will force her to reveal long-hidden truths and prove to herself that she can achieve the impossible. Find out what happens in Realm of the Banished, a captivating new adult fantasy adventure! Content/Trigger Warning: Includes strong language, physical violence, consensual sex, and sexual assault.

When her homeland is conquered by the mighty Alexander the Great, Roxana--the daughter of a mere chieftain-is torn from her simple life and thrown into a world of war and intrigue. Terrified, the sixteen-year-old girl of renowned beauty is brought before the greatest ruler the world has ever known. Her life is in his hands; her future his to decide. Without formal education or noble blood, Roxana is chosen by the Greek conqueror to be his bride. Soon she comes to know profound happiness and unyielding desire in her warrior's arms. However, being the king's consort comes at a heavy price. To survive her husband's treacherous kingdom, she must endure continuous warfare, deadly plots, jealous rivals, victory-hungry generals, and the stigma of being a barbarian.

THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING and THE BOOK OF PRIVY COUNSELING are the first explorations in the English language of the soul’s quest for God. Written in Middle English by an unknown fourteenth-century mystic, THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING expresses with beauty a message that has inspired such great religious thinkers as St. John of the Cross and Teilhard de Chardin, as well as countless others in search of God. Offering a practical guide to the life of contemplation, the author explains that ordinary thoughts and earthly concepts must be buried beneath a “cloud of forgetting,” while our love must rise toward a God hidden in the “cloud of unknowing.” THE BOOK OF PRIVY COUNSELING, also included in this volume, is a short and moving text on the way to enlightenment through a total loss of self and a consciousness only of the divine. William Johnston, an authority on fourteenth-century mysticism and spirituality, provides an accessible discussion of the works, detailing what is known about the history of the texts and their author. In a new foreword, Huston Smith draws on his extensive knowledge of the varieties of religious experience to illuminate the relevance of these works for contemporary readers.

"...a landmark anthology, which establishes that the crafting of brilliant short impossible crime fiction is not an exclusively Anglo-American endeavor."Publishers Weekly (Starred review) Here is a groundbreaking collection of 26 impossible crime stories from over 20 countries, demonstrating the global reach of this most fiendishly ingenious tale. Several stories appear here for the first time, many have never been anthologized, and a few classics are included. Also included are 12 short anecdotes of real-life impossibilities: How can a man locked in his room without alcohol get drunk every night? How can heavy stone coffins in a sealed crypt be moved? How can hundreds of rare French books be stolen from an ancient library? These are just a few of the actual impossibilities that are explained in The Realm of the Impossible. In his Foreword, Otto Penzler writes: "The range of authors collected in this surprising and welcome volume, and the diversity of their backgrounds, is a tribute to the detective skills of the editors, who have somehow unearthed a cornucopia of virtually unknown stories that deserve the attention they will now receive. It is... well... impossible to applaud loudly enough..."John Pugmire is the publisher of Locked Room International, whose books have appeared in Washington Post and Publishers Weekly "Best of" lists for 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
