  "The Oblong Box" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1844, about a sea voyage and a mysterious box.
  The story opens with the unnamed narrator recounting a summer sea voyage from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City aboard the ship Independence. The narrator learns that his old college friend Cornelius Wyatt is aboard with his wife and two sisters, though he has reserved three state-rooms. After conjecturing the extra room was for a servant or extra baggage, he learns his friend has brought on board an oblong pine box: "It was about six feet in length by two and a half in breadth." The narrator notes its peculiar shape and especially an odd odor coming from it. Even so, he presumes his friend has acquired an especially valuable copy of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The narrator has never met Wyatt's wife but heard she is a woman of "surpassing beauty, wit, and accomplishment".

  Bad-boy rocker Jared Leigh is about to meet the biggest challenge of his life . . . his deaf four-year-old son. 
   
   
   
  Jared: At twenty-one, I had been prepared to give up my dream of touring with a rock band to become a father after getting my ex-girlfriend pregnant. But when she told me she'd gotten an abortion, I was devastated. 
   
   
   
  Now five years later, I bump into her little sister, who I haven't seen since high school, while she's grocery shopping with four-year-old Logan. Sparks flare between Callie and me that didn't exist before. 
   
   
   
  But soon I grow suspicious when I realize her deaf "son" is the same age as my own child would have been. 
   
   
   
  Callie: When Jared demands to know more about Logan, I panic. There are things I can't tell him. Besides, Jared is a bad-boy rocker, not a dependable father figure. Trouble is, Jared refuses to be pushed away. And the more quality time he spends with Logan, the more I start to fall for him and envision us as a family. 
   
   
   
  But falling for him is far from a good idea—because when Jared's band hits big time, Logan and I will prove to be nothing more than a passing phase. Right?

  After her father's unexplained disappearance, the entrancingly beautiful healer Rhianwyn Albray finds herself in a perilous position.

Several men rally to claim her as their bride, but when a mysterious Irishman, Lord Broccan Mulryan, requests the king's permission to wed her, Rhianwyn immediately objects.

Bemoaning their inevitable and undesired fates, each presumes the others will fare better.

  From USA Today bestselling author D.F. Jones, “Twisting Time: Forbidden City of Gold” is a riveting fantasy novel that seamlessly blends cosmic love, myths and legends, and divine intervention with high-stakes adventure. At its heart lies the Supreme Creator’s deep-seated desire to create unity with his divine family and humanity. 
  When the heavenly council member Soal, representing the Holy Trifecta, amplifies their network of warriors across the universe, an unsuspecting group of college students finds themselves invited into a secret society. The secret society offers them the allure of powers and the answers to some of life’s enigmatic questions. This leads to four students - Blaine, Josephine, George, and Rose - being thrust into the midst of an ancient conflict. Trained and guided by seasoned angel warriors, their mission is to retrieve a sacred amulet and deliver it back to the Almighty. 
  Their quest, however, isn’t straightforward. They must journey into the mythical Forbidden City of Gold, abandoned and sealed since the infamous Tower of Babel rebellion. Here, they encounter portal doors that can lead to the past, and the ultimate door leads to the Supreme Creator - each choice may determine not only their personal fate but the fate of humanity itself, and an incorrect choice could trap them in another time and place. Failure is simply not an option. 
  Parallel to this runs the sinister plot of Persephone, a lesser god. She yearns for the same sacred amulet and its power to rewrite history, free herself from an unwanted marriage to Hades, and allow the lesser gods to continue their rule over Earth. 
  Twisting Time: Forbidden City of Gold spirals towards a climactic clash between the divine hierarchy, humanity, and the lesser gods. The world’s fate hangs in the balance in this heart-pounding, emotion-imbued fantasy thriller between good and evil.
