  Can this legendary hero keep his humble tavern safe from criminals, corrupt officials, and those who might expose his secret? 
  Archibold Stormblood, Visseria’s greatest hero, is finally taking a break. After two centuries spent battling dark lords and saving the world, he figures he’s earned a little peace—or so he hopes. Leaving his legendary past behind, Archibold now lives as an unassuming mortal nineteen-year-old, running the Tipsy Pelican Tavern, where he brews tasty spell-chilled ales and enjoys stories and laughs with his quirky patrons. 
  Trouble is the last thing he needs in his life—especially any trouble in the form of the White Church, corrupt officials, crime syndicates, or whatever his iron-willed barmaids manage to stir up. 
  With his immortal powers sealed and his true identity a closely guarded secret, can Archibold hold onto his hard-won peace, or will he be forced to don the mantle of hero once more? 
  Join the thousands of readers who are raving about the Tipsy Pelican Tavern series, an unputdownable fantasy adventure spiced with unique magic, tense action, laugh-out-loud humor, and a foaming mug of wit and heart. 
  "A happy medium between cozy and epic—a truly satisfying read."

  C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.
