Queen Ariane, Longswordsman Corin an Fol and friends, having narrowly sprung the trap in Crenna, sail south in pursuit of the lost prince, Tarin, and missing fragments of the crystal crown - the Tekara. Zallerak, a mysterious Warlock/bard, has joined their cause, informing them that Tarin is bound for the Permio Deserts, to seek the blind Smith-God who will re-forge the crown to redress his earlier crimes. Corin doesn’t trust Zallerak although the bard’s trickery has helped them twice. Despite Corin’s misgivings, Ariane believes their only hope now lies in taking the bard’s advice, and overtaking Tarin before Caswallon’s ally, the Sultan of Permio catches up with the prince. Meanwhile Rael the Assassin of Crenna is hot on their tail again. Furious at being fooled in his own castle, Rael has vowed to slay them all, except the queen who he will deliver in chains to Caswallon. Corin, for his part, has sworn to kill the Assassin and avenge the death of a friend. In Permio Ariane’s friend, the merchant Silon, meets with a desert chief in secret. Together they plot the downfall of the despised sultan. Silon knows that with Permio onside they can bring the fight back to Caswallon. But the usurper is informed of their various plans by his goblin spymaster, Gribble. And once again Caswallon’s net closes on Queen Ariane and her desperados.

The Lost Prince (Legends of Ansu)

At first they seemed like isolated crimes: a deadly mugging in Toronto, a swimming pool drowning in Atlanta. But, thanks to a tip off by an intern at a medical device industry organization, the FBI soon learns that the deaths are linked, and that they form a chain of thirteen mysterious deaths of business executives from all over the continent. Deaths separated by geography and time, yet linked by a common motive. Special Agent Jay Harris, one of the Bureau's leading experts in the arcane art of profiling, is called in to determine the characteristics of the murderer. The only trouble is, there's more than one of them, and the spectrum of possible suspects with vendettas ranges from the underworld of the animal rights movement, to the flashy casinos of Las Vegas, to the boardrooms of senior executives. Which of them could be driven by a desire for revenge and retribution so strong that it could be sustained over a period of ten years?

Hurry, Busyness, Noise and Distraction are four great enemies of a vibrant life with God, yet most people believe only monks and pastors can experience it. Not true. With just a bit of intentionality, working parents, single parents, retired men and women, couples and singles can experience God's closeness and presence in the midst of their everyday lives. The classic avenues of experiencing God are necessary but many normal, everyday people feel guilt or frustration over not having the time or space to implement them into their lives. In this book, practices such as Noticing, Slowing, Rest and Waiting are shown to be "practices that count" in God's eyes. He will meet us in them just as much as the classic practices. Find some freedom and joy in experiencing God in these practices that require some effort our part, but result in God's whisper of "Well done," in your inner being.
