    When love becomes a battlefield, and the enemy wears the face of destiny. 
     
    Adam Dipietro thought he’d found his soulmate—a mysterious woman who spoke of karmic connections and cosmic purpose. But behind the tarot cards and astrological charts lay something far more dangerous: a sophisticated campaign of psychological warfare that would test the very foundations of his faith and sanity. 
     
    From Montreal's winter streets to Italy's sacred pilgrimage sites, The Codex of Shadows chronicles one man's descent into a web of manipulation disguised as spiritual destiny—and his extraordinary battle to reclaim his soul. 
     
    Part psychological thriller, part spiritual memoir, this unflinching account exposes how modern predators weaponize mysticism to override rational judgment. Through detailed documentation of gaslighting techniques, trauma bonding, and religious manipulation, it reveals the dark side of New Age spirituality while celebrating the authentic faith that ultimately provides liberation. 
     
    This is the story of how recognizing evil—whether supernatural or psychological—becomes the first step toward genuine spiritual freedom.

    Erin Wunker is a feminist killjoy, and she thinks you should be one, too.
    Following in the tradition of Sara Ahmed (the originator of the concept "feminist killjoy"), Wunker brings memoir, theory, literary criticism, pop culture, and feminist thinking together in this collection of essays that take up Ahmed's project as a multi-faceted lens through which to read the world from a feminist point of view.
    Neither totemic nor complete, the essays in Notes from a Feminist Killjoy: Essays on Everyday Life attempt to think publicly about why we need feminism, and especially why we need the figure of the feminist killjoy, now. From the complicated practices of being a mother and a feminist, to building friendship amongst women as a community-building and -sustaining project, to writing that addresses rape culture from the Canadian context and beyond, Notes from a Feminist Killjoy invites the reader into a conversation about gender, feminism, and living in our inequitable world.

    “A Book of Balance should be read by every architect, engineer, manager, leader, and anyone with authority in the creation of our modern world... Everyone can benefit from this book and the ancient wisdom it offers."" — Garden Marcus, author of How to Grow 
    “A Book of Balance provides essential natural wisdom from the past to help us live more fully in the present so we can save our planet’s future. These indigenous teachings make for a powerful read.”— Patrick McDonnell, creator of Heart to Heart with the Dalai Lama 
    We all need answers for how to live our best lives. We want to settle our souls. 
    For centuries, the Kogi have lived in seclusion in Colombia’s remote Sierra Nevadas, known as “the heart of the world.” Now a few emissaries from the tribe have emerged to bring an urgent and loving message to the West—advice on how to live in harmony with the earth. 
    Lucas Buchholz was invited to their home to receive and transcribe this message and guidance. A Book of Balance takes us on a journey into a startlingly beautiful landscape and into a sacred fireside circle where members consider key questions, including:What Did You Plant? What Did You Harvest?How Will We Pass the Knowledge On to Our Children?What Does It Mean to the World That I Am Here? 
    In this slim volume of spiritual introspection, they ask us to share in their practice, posing nine questions that focus our minds and hearts on who we are, who we can become. 
    A beautiful book to own, to share with friends, and discuss in community. For readers of The Book of Hygge and Ikigai—books that bring the wisdom of other cultures to our own.

    Wayne K. Blickenstaff, known as “Blick,” was a stalwart of the 350th Fighter Squadron of the 353rd Fighter Group based at Goxhill, Metfield and Raydon, England as part of the Eighth Air Force prosecuting the strategic air campaign against Germany. As an original cadre member, he rose steadily through the ranks from a Second Lieutenant Element Leader to Flight Leader, Squadron Operations Officer, Squadron Leader and finally to a Lieutenant Colonel and Group Operations Officer. Flying the P-47 Thunderbolt and P-51 Mustang, he completed two tours of operations between 1943 and 1945 encompassing 133 missions and claims of 10 enemy aircraft destroyed in the air. His double “ace” status included a Me262 jet fighter and the destruction of five aircraft in one mission—giving him rare “ace in a day” status.  Ace in a Day is Blick’s honest and gritty personal memoir of his air war in Europe. His vivid writing places you in the cockpit as he and his comrades battle the enemy in the skies or attack ground targets across Europe. His account conveys a true sense of just how dangerous flying World War II fighters, in all weather conditions, really was. It was not just the enemy that could kill you. A moment’s inattention, overconfidence or simple mistake could be deadly. As a keen observer of character, Blick’s pen portraits of those around him, including many of those who sadly did not survive the war, offer a poignant and deeply moving tribute to those with whom he served.  Anyone wanting an understanding of the dynamics of a working fighter squadron at war and the dilemmas faced by those in command should read this book. Supported by an impressive array of original documentation, photographs, and detailed appendices, including Blick’s never-before published wartime journal, Ace in a Day provides a unique and valuable insight into the harsh realities of the air war in Europe from one of the “Mighty Eighth’s” top fighter pilots.
