Beschreibung

The ship suddenly jolted slightly and became still. The throbbing of the tremendous rocket engines ceased; the vessel lay in the half-shade of towering trees that stretched upwards to surprising heights against the slight gravity. The multiple lights of Saturn and the moons filled the outside jungle with a curiously ghostly white tinge, not unlike indirect floodlighting.

    In the heart of an uncharted ocean, far from any shore, stands a towering tree unlike any other, a tree that holds life, death, and secrets deep within its ancient bark. This is The Mystery Tree House, a refuge and a curse for the shipwrecked souls who find themselves marooned on its immense roots.
     
    When a fierce storm leaves a diverse band of survivors stranded on this colossal tree, they soon discover its life-sustaining waters and mystical properties. Led by Warrior Is Born, a West African sailor turned reluctant leader, they carve out a new society within the tree’s 
    hollowed trunk. But beneath the paradise they build, shadows lurk, dark forces that threaten to unravel their fragile existence. As they struggle to survive and understand the tree’s mysterious power, the tree house reveals its true nature, a place where treachery festers as deeply as the roots that anchor it to the sea floor.
     
    As Warrior Is Born ascends to kingship, he must navigate a web of power struggles, ancient prophecies, and supernatural forces. The stakes are nothing less than the survival of his people and the very soul of the tree itself. The Mystery Tree house is a gripping tale of leadership, sacrifice, and the eternal battle between human ambition and the natural world’s inscrutable power. Discover a world where myth and reality intertwine, and every decision could be their last.

    Rory Hawthorn is in a bind - and not the sort that involves book pages. Her best friend has fallen into a coma, courtesy of rare poison without any known cure. The only source of information lies with the Founders, the knowledge-hunting vampires who want revenge on Rory for thwarting their plans - and to infiltrate the library and steal its secrets. 
    A potential lifeline appears when a strange Reaper shows up in town with her ghostly brother, claiming to want to help a group of lost spirits that have appeared at the Founders’ old house. To help the ghosts and save her best friend, Rory walks a dangerous tightrope between the Reapers and the vampires as she draws closer to the truth. 
    Can Rory survive long enough to pull off a miracle, or will the next lost soul to show up in the Grim Reaper’s domain be her own?

    A centuries-old rebirth curse, an otherworldly Celtic prince, and an inescapable prophecy. 
    Thirty-year-old magic Bearer Julia Harrison had never given the notion of past lives or grand destinies any real credence or thought. She has knowledge of magic, and the power she shares with the women of her bloodline. She’s aware of the difference between Druids and Sorcerers, Wielders and Bearers, and so on, but regardless of all of that… her everyday life has always felt quite normal—distinctly unmagical—and never more so than as of late. 
    With the recent death of her beloved grandmother, Julia finds herself severed from the only sense of place she’d ever known. Grandma Gertie had all but raised her and was easily the strongest connection she’d had to her own magic, and that of the natural world. Without it, she feels lost. Disconnected. Unable to rely on (or even effectively access) her own limited magics in her current emotional state, Julia’s primary focus turns to placing one foot in front of the other as she resumes a linguistics degree that has taken far longer to earn than it should have. 
    But when a visiting professor arrives on her Vancouver campus—one who brings with him an odd sense of familiarity that’s almost as compelling as his raw Celtic masculinity—Julia knows that her life’s journey is about to change, heading off on an entirely new path. What she could have never predicted, or even dreamed of, was that somehow, they had walked that path together countless times before… each time towards their own inescapable deaths at the hands of Marcus Cassius Longinus, the indomitable “Child of Rome.”

    In I Bring Fresh Flowers by Robert F. Young, Rosemary Brooks—patriot, idealist, astronette—becomes the first woman to orbit Earth. When tragedy strikes during re-entry, the world mourns… then watches the seasons themselves change. Rain softens, flowers bloom, sunlight turns golden. Rosemary becomes part of the earth, the sky, every dawn. 
    Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton tells of a massive Venusian swamp-lord who senses the terrified thoughts of a lost human woman. Awakened to beauty for the first time, he protects her from the horrors of his world—until a final battle with the monstrous Torrg seals their destinies. 
    Five worlds. Five destinies. One essential volume of classic sci-fi brilliance.
