  Forgotten Saints - A Pioneer...

  Of the nearly 2,000 saints who died while crossing the plains, we know little about those who left nothing behind—no record of their death, no personal journals, no memories of their lives. This is particularly true for children who died on the trek, but it is also true for the parents who died alongside them.  
  Author of Filled with His Love, Russell T. Osguthorpe, former Sunday School general president, recounts how two pioneer families in New York became one blended family, how they helped build the Nauvoo temple, struggled to leave that city beautiful, suffered while crossing the plains, and how they build a new life in Zion.  
  Forgotten Saints is a story about the importance of relationships—the eternal attachments we form with God and with those we love. Although the historical events in the story are accurate, the details of the lives of each character are fictional. As you make the journey with this pioneer family, you will gain a deeper witness of how important attachment relationships are—both human and divine. You will draw closer to your ancestors, to your family and friends, and to God. You will acquire a deeper desire to do everything possible to ensure that no one on either side of the veil is ever forgotten.

  Treasure Island

  "For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, 'the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.' G. S. Fraser terms it 'an utterly original book' and goes on to write: 'There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy.'

  In the frost-locked city of Orsym, survival is a matter of taste—and the ingredients are unspeakable. 
  Dominic Silva is the celebrated ecclesiastical chef of a starving aristocracy. In a gothic metropolis carved from the calcified bones of elder beasts, the elite are sustained by a single, horrific resource: leviathan nectar, siphoned from a gargantuan, suffering monster imprisoned beneath the ice. Dominic's job is simple but essential. He must use his unparalleled culinary genius to transform this dark, rotting harvest into a masterpiece of glamorous illusions, shielding the nobility from the grotesque reality of their own cannibalistic survival. 
  As the centennial Feast of Hollow Saints approaches, Dominic's carefully constructed world of spun sugar and vanity begins to fracture. A centuries-old recipe manuscript awakens with a bloody, aggressive sentience, psychically demanding that he serve the agonizing truth of the beast's suffering. Meanwhile, the ruthless Inspector Nestor Norcross circles like a starved wolf, threatening to strip Dominic of his beloved power. 
  To survive the deadly politics of the court and protect the brilliant, desperate Marchioness Marguerite Moreau, Dominic must weaponize his art like never before. But how long can a master illusionist mask the taste of an empire's sins? 
  Immerse yourself in Book 2 of The Cathedral Bestiary, a lush, terrifying journey into a world of decadent dark fantasy, gothic romance, and bone-chilling culinary horror.
