  The natives call the astroengineering contraption built around the black hole the Skythrone. Within it lies Eternity, an afterlife of sorts where chosen Ascendants travel after their death to gain immortality. Yet unlike the heaven and hell of Earth, it is absolutely real, and sometimes, guests who call themselves the emissaries of Eternity come down from there. 
   
   
   
  But are they guests or are they masters? 
   
   
   
  Legends say that the Kel civilization, the creators of the Dyson sphere, left for Eternity three galactic cycles ago to become almighty immortal gods. The passenger in my head claims that they are wretched cowards who doomed Unity and all of its inhabitants to save their own hides. 
   
   
   
  I . . . am about to learn who is right and what Eternity is truly hiding. 
   
   
   
  As long as I remember that only one thing matters to its ageless sovereigns. A single thread connecting the two worlds. 
   
   
   
  And it is Starblood!

The book offers a deep and nuanced narrative of Arezou’s immigrant experiences as an Iranian in U.S. academia. Each story forms a piece of the intricate puzzle of Arezou’s life as she navigates the complexities of working and raising children in a foreign culture, constantly torn between staying in the U.S. or returning to Iran, grappling with the emotional weight of news from her homeland, and confronting the taboos that have followed her across borders. Through her experiences, the collection delves into themes of identity, memory, belonging, motherhood, and cultural tensions, all while reflecting the broader landscape of immigration.

  Sir Rigil Barak came to Land’s End expecting a routine mission: investigate some rumors, spy on some nobles, and above all, play the perfect knight. Instead, he is reunited with his less-than-shining past--the same past that has kept him on the road for years, fleeing his noble father's scorn and grieving the woman he thought dead. 
  Until now. 
  Because in Land's End, he sees a face he never thought he’d see again . . . at least, not outside his dreams. And if she's alive, he'll do anything for a second chance to save her. 
  Years of captivity to a madman left Sethe with a face full of scars and one rule: never be trapped again. Except, to keep that rule, she'll have to ask for help from Rigil, the thief who broke her heart and abandoned her long ago. Now, years later, he shows up to rescue her from Land’s End like a knight in shining armor? Who does he think he is? 
  And even if the boy from her past has become a real knight with real honor, can she fall for a man who lied to her? 
  Maybe that doesn't matter now, because Sethe’s old captor is hot on her heels with a new invention that could turn her into something worse than a prisoner. He could turn her into a weapon. 
  Fortunately, Rigil and Sethe always did know how to pull off a heist--and if they can steal the enemy’s deadly new weapon, they can save the kingdom. For Sethe, this means trusting Rigil without letting him anywhere near her heart. For Rigil, it means a second chance with the woman whose heart he once broke. 
  And this time, failure could cost them everything. 
  Dive into this swashbuckling story of second chances, forbidden love, espionage and epic adventure in this fourth book in the Blood of Kings: Legends series.

  To the Lighthouse

  Virginia Woolf

  “What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.” 
    
  Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay and their eight children spend the summer holiday on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. When the family postpones their trip to a nearby lighthouse, the narrative evolves into a meditation on the subjectivity of art and the bittersweet impermanence of life. 
    
  This semi-autobiographical account invites fans of Virginia Woolf’s beloved classics Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One’s Own to glimpse a more intimate exploration of the author’s own upbringing. Discover for yourself why To the Lighthouse was featured in the “ALL TIME 100 books list” of English-language novels published since the dawn of TIME magazine.
