Aida is determined to become the next High Priestess of a love goddess. The only way to do so is to descend into the underworld and fight her way through trials loosely based on Egyptian legends of the afterlife.

A priestess sworn to a goddess of love and sex is determined to rise to the rank of the high priestess. But before she can ascend, she must descend deep into the underworld to face trials that will take all her skills to pass. Aken, the ferryman, will take great persuasion. Isis and Nephthys promise pleasure but lay a trap. Ammit, the devourer, has no mercy. These tests will take her to the heights of pleasure and the depths of pain. The only way out is to be reborn.Ver livro

A moving story told in visual art and fiction about gentrification, aging in place, grief, and vulnerable Chinese Canadian elders Bringing together ink artwork and fiction, Denison Avenue by Daniel Innes (illustrations) and Christina Wong (text) follows the elderly Wong Cho Sum, who, living in Toronto’s gentrifying Chinatown–Kensington Market, begins to collect bottles and cans after the sudden loss of her husband as a way to fill her days and keep grief and loneliness at bay. In her long walks around the city, Cho Sum meets new friends, confronts classism and racism, and learns how to build a life as a widow in a neighborhood that is being destroyed and rebuilt, leaving elders like her behind. A poignant meditation on loss, aging, gentrification, and the barriers that Chinese Canadian seniors experience in big cities, Denison Avenue beautifully combines visual art, fiction, and the endangered Toisan dialect to create a book that is truly unforgettable.Ver livro
The four tales gathered here reveal Oscar Wilde’s gift for blending wit, irony, and moral reflection within the form of the short story. Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is a darkly comic exploration of fate and free will, where polite society collides with the absurd. The Canterville Ghost playfully turns the traditional ghost story on its head, offering satire as sharp as it is humorous. In The Sphinx Without a Secret, Wilde meditates on mystery and illusion, showing how beauty and enigma may dissolve under the scrutiny of truth. Finally, The Model Millionaire provides a tender moral fable, reminding us that generosity and kindness carry more value than wealth or charm. Head Stories Audio presents "Oscar Wilde - Four Stories", with narration and original music by Simon Hester.Ver livro
