From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A PRICE OF MAGIC (Book #20), the twentieth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!

In A PRICE OF MAGIC, the heroes of the Ring fight for survival across distant lands as ancient powers threaten to consume everything they hold dear. Exiled to the harsh Ashen Plains and left to die, Gwendolyn discovers untapped reserves of strength and dormant magic that may hold the key to her survival.

Thor stands alone against the colossal Titan Boreas, facing an impossible choice between his family and his principles that leads to a battle he cannot possibly win. Guwayne, held captive aboard a mysterious ship, forges an unlikely mental connection that offers his only chance of escape, while the ruins he discovers afterward reveal disturbing truths about his own bloodline and its connection to the awakening Titans.

Via Medium - Basics of...

Yashomatinandana Dasa

Dear Listeners,
In this book one learns about the fundamental principles of bhakti-yoga and how these principles free one's life completely from material suffering. In due course of time wisdom was transferred from the Supreme Person, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, to the people of this world.
“The Personality of Godhead, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god, Vivasvān, and Vivasvān instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikṣvāku.
This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.”
(BG 4.1-2)
Due to the fact that this transcendental wisdom of yoga was lost over time, now we have to remind ourselves of it and revive it again.
I am writing therefore as a messenger of the spiritual discipline of yoga, steadily engaged in serving humanity. Recognising the importance of this transcendental wisdom, we want to invite you to learn about the Mantra-Meditation particularly. Perhaps you are already following meditation or have some knowledge of yoga, nonetheless, one can learn a lot from this book “Via Medium”.
It concerns the history of the transmission of transcendental knowledge, the mantra meditation, its technique and theology, as well as the supreme science - bhakti-yoga.
It also tells a personal story and transformative account with the Maha-Mantra meditation and how I got to know His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, a bona fide spiritual master, receiving initiation into the spiritual discipline as a servant of Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mother Yashoda, receiving the spiritual name Yaśomatinandana Dāsa.
Om Tat Sat,
Your writing author

Until Life Do Us Part

Winston Marks

Until Life Do Us Part by Winston Marks - It's a long life, when you're immortal. To retain sanity you've got to be unemotional. To be unemotional, you can't fall in love... 
It was a deathless world, but a woman was dying. 
Anne Tabor lay limp and pale, her long, slender limbs making only shallow depressions on the mercury bath which supported her. Webb Fellow stood over her awaiting the effects of the sedative to relieve her pain. 
His title was Doctor, but almost everyone in this age had an M. D. certificate with several specialties to his credit. Webb Fellow was simply one who continued to find interest and diversion in the field of physiological maintenance. 
He stood tall and strong above her, lean-bellied, smooth-faced and calm appearing, yet he didn't feel especially calm. As the agony eased from Anne's face he spoke softly. 
"I'm glad you came to me, Anne." 
She moistened her lips and spoke without opening her eyes. "It was you or Clifford—and Cliff hasn't practiced for a century or more. It's—it's quite important to me, Webb. I really want to live. Not because I'm afraid of dying, but...." 
"I know, Anne. I know." 
Everyone in Chicago knew. Anne Tabor was the first female of that city to be chosen for motherhood in almost a decade. And in the three days since the news had flashed from Washington, Anne Tabor had generated within the blood-stream of her lovely, near-perfect body, a mutated cancerous cell that threatened to destroy her.
