Beschreibung

A spell-binding follow-up to the renowned novel that began the Lost World literary genre, King Solomon's Mines. The genre may seem identical, but the story-line builds up at its own fast pace. The exciting and thrilling tale set in a previously unknown Africa, in some ways, is more intense than King Solomon's Mines.

At the beginning, Quatermain has lost his only son and longs to get back into the wilderness. Having persuaded Sir Henry Curtis, Captain John Good, and the Zulu chief Umslopogaas to accompany him, they set out from the coast of east Africa into the territory of the Maasai. While staying with a Scottish missionary, Mr. Mackenzie, they are attacked by a Maasai group, whom they overcome heroically. They travel by canoe along an underground river to a lake (which turns out to be the sacred lake of Zu-Vendis) in the kingdom of Zu-Vendis beyond a range of mountains. The Zu-Vendi are a warlike white race isolated from other African races; their capital is called Milosis. At the time of the British party's arrival, they are ruled jointly by two sisters, Nyleptha and Sorais. The priests of the Zu-Vendi religion are hostile to the explorers as it is apparent they offended against the religion, but the queens protect them.

    From USA Today best-selling author K. Webster comes a steamy new age-gap student-teacher forbidden romance! 
    He’s a grumpy teacher with a chip on his shoulder. She’s his much, much younger student who’s completely off-limits. 
    Love broke me when I was a teen. My dad not only slept with my girlfriend, but he knocked her up and made her my stepmom, too. It's been nearly two decades later, and I’m still not over it. How can I be when they’re a daily reminder of what was stolen from me? 
    Being a teacher isn’t necessarily my passion, but pissing my dad off is. He thinks teaching is beneath our family, and I love watching him squirm. 
    But the joke’s on me. 
    I’m completely obsessed with the quiet, beautiful girl in my class. Always staring at her perfect lips when no one’s looking. She’s so young—too young for me. But something about her is just so sad, and I can’t seem to stop thinking about her. 
    I want to comfort her. To hold her. To teach her filthy lessons while in the sanctity of my bedroom. 
    And yet, I can’t. Not only would I lose my job and bring humiliation down on the others in my family who don’t deserve the heat, but I’d be just like him. My father. A sicko chasing some girl he has no business going after. I refuse to let that happen. 
    Until I’m forced to protect her when no one else will. Everything changes, and I cross a line I’m not sure I can come back from. 
    It turns out, I’m exactly like my father. A selfish man hell-bent on ruining everyone’s lives over a teenage girl. 
    This is a complete stand-alone novel with a happily ever after. Characters are of legal age.

    Basil Elton, a lighthouse keeper, engages in a peculiar fantasy in which a bearded man in robes is piloting a mystical white ship which appears when the moon is full. Elton walks across the water on a bridge of moonbeams, joins the bearded man on the ship, and together they explore a mystical chain of islands unlike anything that can be found on Earth. They travel past Zar, a green land where "dwell all the dreams and thoughts of beauty that come to men once and then are forgotten", then the majestic city of Thalarion, "City of a Thousand Wonders", where frightful demons dwell. They pass Akariel, the huge carven gate of Thalarion, and continue their voyage. Elton is informed that those who enter both places have never returned. During the voyage, they seem to be following an azure celestial bird. They also pass Xura, the "Land of Pleasures Unattained", which seems pleasant from a distance but reeks of plague upon getting nearer. They finally settle in Sona-Nyl, the "Land of Fancy", where Elton spends a period of time which he describes as "many aeons", living in what seems to be a perfect society. During his time in Sona-Nyl, he learns of Cathuria, the "Land of Hope". Though no man truly knows where Cathuria is or what lies there, Elton is thrilled with the idea, fantasizing about it wildly, and urges the bearded man to take him there, which the man reluctantly agrees to do. They follow the celestial bird westward. After a perilous journey to where the crew believes Cathuria to be, the ship instead finds itself at the edge of the world, and plummets to its doom. Elton awakens to find himself on the wet rocks next to his lighthouse, mere moments after he first departed on the white ship - and just in time to witness a catastrophic shipwreck caused by the light having gone out for the first time. He is further shaken by his later finding a dead azure bird and a spar of pure white.

    A shattered mirror. A silenced voice. A woman’s fight to reclaim her truth. 
    The Mirror Memoir: With Deep Reflections is the unflinching true story of Samantha Jo Folio; a journey through abuse, betrayal, workplace harassment, and spiritual warfare. What could have broken her instead became the fire that forged her voice. 
    From small-town Appalachia to the isolating glow of work-from-home call centers, Samantha’s path is marked by heartbreak and injustice, but also by resilience, faith, and divine encounters that could not be silenced. She survived toxic workplaces, online harassment, and the crushing weight of being targeted for speaking out. Through it all, she found power in ritual, strength in faith, and truth in the mirror that became her sacred altar. 
    This is more than a memoir, it is a testimony. For every survivor who has doubted their worth, every whistleblower who has wondered if the fight was worth it, and every seeker standing at the edge of despair and transformation, this story is for you. 
    Inside, you’ll hear:An intimate look at corporate retaliation and discrimination.The emotional toll of targeted harassment and intimidation.A survivor’s honest account of loss, faith, and reclamation.Real-life spiritual experiences that blur the line between the visible and unseen. 
    If you’ve ever faced injustice and felt invisible, The Mirror Memoir will remind you: your voice is power, your truth is sacred, and your reflection still shines—even when the mirror is cracked.
