A thrilling tale of a war that might have been. Their Fhrer is dead, but a cadre of SS officers back Himmler to seize control of the Third Reich and attempt to change the course of the war.

Five years after King Jamion Brewer of Calaprinia is captured and imprisoned by the narcissistic King Nord, usurper of the Valcian throne, Jamion is rescued by an elite team led by Jamion's longtime friend Zack Thedford, with assistance from a secret organization. Taken to another realm that is governed by the elves to be reunited with his family and what remains of those who fled Calaprinia, Jamion is training to be the warrior he used to be, but with a few new tricks up his sleeve. From placing spies in harems to killing traitors without a second thought, the Valcian Underground Movement seeks to place Princess Kiera on her father's throne. Though with treachery and betrayal at nearly every corner, those loyal to the princess find themselves greatly outnumbered and face a price that may cost everything. In realms wrought by magic, bordered with blood, and frequented by evil forces, will Jamion be able to raise an army? Do those protecting Kiera have what it takes to bring justice to the tyrant Nord and restore either Calaprinia or Valc to their former glory?

An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature.

We now live in the time of the Gaian hierophant. This is the one who reveals and shows us how to relate to the sacred aspects of Gaia, our planet. Who is this hierophant? Each of us, when we join the campaign with Gaia against the desecration of our natural environment. But first we have to discover what the Earth really is. The Earth's thousands of sacred sites hold a secret: they are functional parts of the planet's geomantic body, consciousness nodes in the Earth's subtle body. Each veils a Light temple, each once known widely and remembered in myth, and Welcome to Your Designer Planet! documents 165 different kinds. The Earth is not an accident of the cosmos, but was designed specifically for humans as an extended Mystery temple primed to support and enhance our greater awareness. And the designers intended that humans help maintain it. Want to help the ecosystem and modulate global warming and climate change? Plug yourself into the Earth's Light grid through your nearest sacred site and start helping. Earth Mysteries researcher Richard Leviton presents a working model of the Earth's geomantic reality based on 24 years of research. The world's myths are the doorway into this fantastic domain of the Earth's visionary geography, showing us where to go and what to do and even what kinds of spiritual beings to expect to see. The future of the Earth is in our hands. Here are some pages from its design manual showing us how to fine-tune our wonderful host planet.
