Large Size paperback edition for easier reading!Assaulted by corrupt magic, Hallen Oaks is crumbling. Shawna, a military commander and high level sorceress, goes to defend the blighted region against enemy forces led by Jendell. Shawna has fought numerous battles, many involving magic, but Jendell somehow manages to penetrate her mind, using this to influence her decisions and in attempts to twist her potent sorcery to a force of destruction. Short-tempered since childhood, Shawna easily developed a warrior''s emotional restraint and has little experience with the softer emotions. However, she soon realizes that Jendell''s aggression resonates uniquely with her assertive nature, allowing him to manipulate both her magic and mind. The only way to resist Jendell is to abandon her emotional shields -- creating a different form of peril for herself and Hallen Oaks. Commanding battles, struggling with unfamiliar emotions, and fending off personal attacks require fortitude, confidence, and aggression... ...the same strengths that can cause Shawna to betray the realm she is sworn to protect.

A book about heat.

A searching memoir that bears witness to the shock of death, but even more to a vital and questing inner life, a rare triumph of understanding, and the discovery of vast open horizons. In this searching memoir, Le Anne Schreiber explores the shifts of perspective that accompany a growing intimacy with death. Deeply moving, graced with subtle intelligence and humor, Light Years looks mortality in the eye and stares it down. In the background are three deaths occurring over five years—those of the author''s mother, father, and brother. In the foreground are stories of certain simple elements of her life during this period—of a barn cat, impaled by a hunter''s arrow, that she patiently nurses back to health; of a trout stream, whose raging waters thwart her attempt to release her father''s ashes; of an overgrown acre that stubbornly refuses to be tamed. Gradually, she traces the impact of these deaths on her understanding of such basic concepts as home, time, and territory, and her own textured past. Searching throughout this remarkable book for this-worldly sources of consolation, she finds them in unexpected places: long swims, a dream, an ancient oak, a book on Einstein, the view from a nearby hilltop.

A brother and sister argue about her speed and size while running a race.
