The rules about undead employees in food service are not super strict. That's because it hasn't really come up before, and the staff at the Pale Garden Teashop hope to keep it that way. Nika is a young and misplaced necromancer in training - as gifted in under magic as he is incapable in a social setting - and the newest member of the shop owner's mismatched little family. Before being found and brought to the strange city of Eldes, he was forbidden from practicing any kind of magic at all, especially necromancy. He's still adjusting to life surrounded by new adopted siblings with similar gifts and a million new things to learn to survive. Nika is adjusting to a life surrounded by encouragement, to a life that includes a sphinx-run library and teachers with hidden identities, to a life where a pushy insect fanatic can drag him off for an afternoon and his new family would barely bat an eye. Karao, who had found him and invited him into her home, has changed his life for the better, but what sort of person adopts necromancers off the side of the road - and what could they want? And why does she have that many skeleton arms?

Headstrong American heiress Lillian Bowman has come to England to find an aristocratic husband. Unfortunately, no man is strong enough to tame the stubborn beauty's fierce will. Except, perhaps, the powerful and arrogant Earl of Westcliff—a man Lillian despises more than anyone she's ever met. Marcus, Lord Westcliff, is famous for his icy English reserve and his supreme self-control. But something about the audacious Lillian drives him mad. Whenever they're in the same room, they can't stop themselves from battling furiously to gain the upper hand. Then one afternoon, a stunningly sensuous encounter changes everything . . . and Lillian discovers that beneath the earl's reserved façade, he is the passionate and tender lover of her dreams. What neither Westcliff nor Lillian suspect, however, is that a sinister conspiracy threatens to destroy any chance of happiness. After a shocking betrayal endangers Lillian's safety—and possibly her life—will Marcus be able to save her before it's too late?

While there have been many claims of the benefits of teas through the years, and while there is nearly universal agreement that drinking tea can benefit health, there is still a concern over whether the lab-generated results are representative of real-life benefit, what the risk of toxicity might be, and what the effective-level thresholds are for various purposes. Clearly there are still questions about the efficacy and use of tea for health benefit. This book presents a comprehensive look at the compounds in black, green, and white teas, their reported benefits (or toxicity risks) and also explores them on a health-condition specific level, providing researchers and academics with a single-volume resource to help in identifying potential treatment uses. No other book on the market considers all the varieties of teas in one volume, or takes the disease-focused approach that will assist in directing further research and studies. Interdisciplinary presentation of material assists in identifying potential cross-over benefits and similarities between tea sources and diseases Assists in identifying therapeutic benefits for new product development Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of tea – green, black and white
