Summary

*An Italian bestseller*

1430 A.D. - Csaba has no memory of his childhood when he is given as a gift by David of Trebizond to
Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last basileus of the Eastern empire. However, a centuries-old legend is attached to his name, which will lead the emperor to take him with him, making him a pillar of the resistance against the Ottomans. And even when everything will collapse, it will be impossible for him to forget his loyalty
to the last legacy of Rome's millennial history. He will then begin a peregrination that will lead him to fight alongside
some of the most important and valiant lords of the last years of the Middle Ages.
In the hope of bringing back to life an empire born one thousand and five hundred years earlier, and now doomed to darkness.

    “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
    I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
    I felt the same way when I was recovering from emotional abuse at the hands of a narcissistic/borderline psychopath. If you try and tell people who have NO EXPERIENCE with a narcissist (there is no experience like being with a narcissist, its not their fault they can’t understand) about it they will either deny your experience, tell you you are exaggerating or look at you like you were crazy. 
    I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.

  • Ash + Salt - From Survival to Empowerment after Sexual Assault - cover

    Ash + Salt - From Survival to...

    Sarah Grace

    Sarah Grace is a sexual assault survivor. On 17 July 2019, she fell asleep like any other night. A burglar broke into her apartment and attacked her as she slept. What followed was a fight for her life. That violent assault blew apart her world, reducing everything in it to ashes.
    From that battle, Sarah has waged many more. She had to fight her way through post-traumatic stress, the social stigma around sexual assault and an archaic court system in her bid to ensure her attacker couldn't do the same to another woman. Some adversities were predictable – nightmares, panic attacks and the devastating loss of self. Others were surprising – toxic social reactions, friends withdrawing and a nightmarish trial that unearthed how heavily the criminal justice system is loaded against victims.
    Ash + Salt is a raw and powerful account of healing and thriving after sexual assault. Armed with courage and brazen candour, Sarah takes you through her own story to reveal the experience of a survivor. She offers the tools to survive the assault, its aftermath and the trial, and charts the path back to recovery. Because while ash marks the place of devastation, it is also the fertile soil from which new life can grow.
    This is a book for everyone – not just survivors, but their families, friends and colleagues too. Sexual assault affects us all, regardless of background or gender. It is one woman's personal testimony, but it is also a call to arms. The time to speak up is now.
