Eddie Wheatley is a self-described ‘meek and mild’ man in his late thirties, who lives in the East End with his overbearing wife, Miriam and his dog, Rufus. He works in a dead-end job for Miriam’s tyrannical father and his marriage is on the rocks. The only time Eddie feels alive is when he takes Rufus for walks in the early morning hours, his only chance to escape from Miriam and the suffocating atmosphere at home. But on one such walk, Eddie Wheatley stumbles across something that will change his life for ever. He sees some men secretively unloading a truck in an alleyway where he has taken cover against the rain. Little does Eddie know that what he witnessed there will turn his life upside down; it will put him and those he cares for in mortal danger and will make him question his very existence and what he believes to be right.

Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. An artist turned naturalist known for her botanical illustrations, Merian was born just sixteen years after Galileo proclaimed that the earth orbited the sun. But at the age of fifty, she sailed from Europe to the New World on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the nineteenth century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” Exquisitely written and illustrated, Chrysalis takes us from golden-age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. Kim Todd brings to life a seventeenth-century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.

The invincible Heaven Fighting Saint was betrayed by his celestial wife and brothers. He was reborn in his youth and swore to become the War God Emperor in this world. He would crush all strong enemies and peerless beauties and beat them up! A hot-blooded battle with no end in sight! In the vast and boundless Pangu Continent, large and small sects, ancient sacred lands, ancient aristocratic clans, and ten thousand different dynasties competed against each other; in the many secular dynasties, the imperial power was supreme, ruling over ten thousand miles. Was it to become an ant or an ordinary spirit, or to condense battle qi to become a warrior, to awaken the three types of battle spirits, to experience hundreds of battles to comprehend the four types of battle force, to become a peerless expert, to become a Holy Land of War, to shatter the void, and to compete with the Heavens! This was a world of warriors, cultivating battle qi, transforming the soul of war, condensing battle force, and rising above all worlds!
