The Counsellor

Gillian Jackson

Sinopsis

She listens for a living. But will anyone hear her when she needs it most?
 
Ten years after the tragic loss of her husband, Maggie Sayer has built a quiet life in the close-knit town of Fenbridge. As a counsellor, she dedicates her days to helping others find hope and healing. With her dog Ben by her side and her best friend Sue keeping things light at the health centre, Maggie seems to have found her rhythm again.
 
But the lives of her clients weigh heavily on her shoulders. Julie, a young mother trapped in a violent marriage. Janet, burdened by a secret too painful to voice. Karen, haunted by a childhood marked by loss. As personal boundaries begin to blur, danger draws closer than Maggie expects.
 
Then Peter walks in, emotionally adrift and with demons of his own. Their connection is immediate but fragile, and Maggie must decide whether to retreat into safety... or take a leap of faith.
 
Tender and deeply human, Gillian Jackson's THE COUNSELLOR is a gripping story of courage and resilience.

Hades and Persephone - The...

Alannah Carbonneau

Persephone: All my life, I've had questions, holes—gaps in my mind. Now, too much is clear. Everything I thought I knew about the world crumbles around me as a truth I can no longer deny takes its place with a violence that leaves me trembling. Reality distorts to make room for a fate I wish we didn't have to face. Grief is a burden that weighs heavy on my heart, but for them—for life—I will fight. Even if it takes my very last breath. Even if it costs the final beat of my ravaged heart.Hades: Sacrifice has always been the name of my game. But now that I must sacrifice her—them—I'm no longer certain I wish to save the realms. For once, I consider falling to the monster that myth has painted me. Instead, I find myself bound by a fate I can't begin to fight. I may be the God of the Underworld, but I am still a pawn in this game we play, bound by rules far more ancient than me. The cost is high. It grows every day she is away from me. Still, I search for a way to break the binds of the ancient deal I struck long ago. To bring her home, unharmed, from the Gods who keep her—a prisoner of a blood deal—in the dangerous realm of Olympus. But Persephone has a plan, my cunning little goddess. A plan to destroy those who sought to ruin us. It's the last chance to save the realms. If we fail . . .
