Sinossi

Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor by R. D. Blackmore Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor is a novel by English author Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869. It is a romance based on a group of historical characters and set in the late 17th century in Devon and Somerset, particularly around the East Lyn Valley area of Exmoor. In 2003, the novel was listed on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

John Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer in 17th century Exmoor, a region in North Devon and Somerset, England. The notorious Doone clan, once nobles and now outlaws, murdered John’s father. Battling his desire for revenge, John (in West Country dialect, pronounced "Jan") too grows into a respectable farmer who cares well for his mother and sisters. He meets Lorna by accident and falls hopelessly in love.

She turns out (apparently) to be the granddaughter of Sir Ensor, lord of the Doones. Sir Ensor’s impetuous and now jealous heir Carver will let nothing thwart his plan to marry Lorna once he comes into his inheritance.

    In this book, Pastor Craig tackles a raw and deeply personal issue that many of us face: How do I find the strength and faith to start over after experiencing one of life’s toughest challenges? He refers to these moments as “life-altering events.” To shed light on this topic, Pastor Craig examines the lives, experiences, and lessons of four well-known biblical figures: Job, Ruth, the Samaritan woman (also known as the Woman at the Well), and Mary of Magdala. You’ll quickly realize that these biblical heroes are not so different from many of us. Their inspiring stories of overcoming the unimaginable, with God’s help, will motivate you to embark on your own journey of renewal. Pastor Craig also addresses contemporary challenges such as divorce, church hurt, betrayal, molestation, and the process of rebuilding your professional reputation after a career disaster. Prepare yourself for an impactful journey. It is Pastor Craig’s prayer that you see your own struggles reflected in these characters’ stories and that you find the divine healing and guidance from our Lord Jesus Christ to help you start over and live a victorious, renewed life.

    Escape into a dark forest, where every child of twelve must unlock their elemental gifts to survive the trials within... 
    Evalina and Tevaun aren't like most other kids. They can't throw fire when they're angry, conjure illusions from thin air, or freeze people they don't like with an icy stare. You know, the sort of things everyone else their age can do. 
    No, their gifts are far more dangerous. And that's precisely why their parents decided to lock them away somewhere safe. 
    They never imagined the Ildarwood would one day intervene on their behalf... 
    Finally given the chance to escape, Evalina and Tevaun find themselves hunted by soul-stealing creatures at every turn. Chased ever deeper into the Ildarwood, they must seek out new allies, battle terrifying threats, and find some way to secure a brighter future before their tragic fates are locked in stone. 
    Immerse yourself in a magical world with diverse cultures and rich lore. Discover your own elemental alignment alongside Evalina and Tevaun. And find out why fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games are falling in love with this inspirational new series!
