Algiers, North Africa, 1943. After her abusive German husband left her for dead and took their daughter with him behind enemy lines, Dottie Lincoln learned that it's better to be a trained soldier rather than a victim. As a newly minted squad leader in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, she spends her days moving men and materials to the front and her nights attending mandatory dances to boost the morale of the men. Despite the grueling nature of her job, she has found a sanctuary amongst the women in the Army. When Ruth, a member of her squad, is murdered, she's devastated and determined to get to the bottom of the murder. Dottie's company is the first group of American women assigned to a combat theater, and with Ruth's death, the entire operation is being questioned. Determined to do everything she can to help win the war, bring justice to her friend, and hopefully reunite with her daughter, Dottie must rise to the occasion before the killer strikes again. But when her past comes back to haunt her, Dottie must prove she's not a German spy and put a stop to a deadly conspiracy that threatens the entire American war effort.Ver livro
Dylan Marchenko knows how routine can anchor a life—or unravel it. He’s a twenty-something Seattle produce driver haunted by a shadowed past: an age gap romance fraying at the edges, memories from Vietnam he keeps at bay, and a drifting sense that change is just another kind of trouble. Then, on a nightbound run to Montana, a tragic accident in a dark parking garage leaves Dylan broken and forgotten—unrecognizable, nearly lost for good. Days pass in mechanical darkness before he’s found, alive but forever changed. As Dylan fights back from injury and amnesia, watched over by a mother from the East Coast and a girlfriend ready to let go, his recovery becomes a journey of unexpected transformation. What emerges is a man rebuilt—affable, goofy, fiercely kind—learning to walk, speak, and love with brand new eyes. Set against the luminous grit of Seattle’s neighborhoods and the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest, The Man Who Became Light is a story of hard-won redemption, the capacity for change, and the families we find or make anew. For anyone who’s wondered whether grace can arrive through tragedy, Dylan’s journey offers an unforgettable answer.Ver livro
The Fire Remembers The air was thick with the scent of burning sandalwood and camphor. The dimly lit chamber, hidden deep within the ancient Himalayan monastery, resonated with the rhythmic chants of unseen voices. A single flame flickered in the center, casting elongated shadows on the stone walls covered in cryptic inscriptions. A hunched figure, draped in saffron robes, knelt before the fire. His hands trembled as he traced the sacred symbols carved into the floor—a forgotten script, lost to time. He knew what he was about to do was forbidden. Yet, the prophecy had spoken. The fire had to be awakened once more. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Agni smarati The fire remembers. As he placed the sacred herbs into the flames, the fire roared to life, turning blue, then violet, then an eerie white. The room trembled. Visions danced within the flames—cities rising and falling, kings and sages, battles of past lives. And then… her face appeared. A woman. Eyes filled with longing and sorrow. A seeker, yet unaware of her quest. A soul burdened by karma she did not yet understand. The sage gasped. She was coming. He reached for an ancient scroll, untouched for centuries, and placed it before the fire. The wind howled through the cracks in the walls as the flames consumed the parchment, revealing a prophecy written in embers: "When the lost one finds the fire, the past shall awaken, and destiny shall be rewritten." Far away, in a bustling city of glass towers and ceaseless noise, Vaidehi stirred from her sleep, her heart pounding, her palms burning as if she had touched fire. She did not yet know the path that awaited her. She did not yet know the power hidden in the flames. But the fire had remembered her. And now, it was calling her home.Ver livro
There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. From their pens to your your ears.Ver livro
