  On many a day had Handy, the Goat Girl of Mern, pursued her goats up and down the rocky eminences of her native mountain. And never—NEVER—in her fourteen or so years' experience had she been blown up by a mountain spring. But there comes, in every one's experience a day which is unlike every other day, and so it was with the Goat Girl. As she was pursuing What-a-butter, her favorite goat, there was a sudden crash, a whish, and up flew the slab of rock on which she was standing, up and away. The adventures into which she was carried by this simple though awefull beginning take a whole book to relate. How she met Nox the Royal Ox of Keretaria, how together they went in search of little King Kerry, how at last they rescued him and found themselves feted guests of Ozma of Oz, all these things you must read for yourselves.

  Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.

  In the veil of eternity, where midnight witches carve runes into the fabric of night and celestial guardians patrol the starry abyss, Elara the rune-weaver binds her fate to Orion, a fallen star-spirit exiled for loving beyond his luminous kin. Their oath, forged in a ritual of shadow ink and comet tears, awakens a tempest that could either mend the fractured veil or plunge realms into chaotic void. As they traverse ethereal bridges of woven starlight and shadowed chasms haunted by void beasts, Elara's midnight magic clashes with Orion's celestial light, revealing an ancient pact that links their souls across eons. Yet, a coven of envious witches and a legion of dark guardians conspire to shatter the runebound vow, unleashing curses that twist time itself. In the heart of the eternal veil, where every rune pulses with peril and every oath echoes with destiny, Elara and Orion must surrender to their intertwined flames to restore balance. Their love, a beacon against the abyss, becomes the rune that rewrites eternity's decree.
