Sinopsis

"Ermeline: A Ballad" represents a captivating tapestry of folklore and emotion, masterfully intertwining lyrical beauty and narrative depth. The work unfolds within the realm of romantic adventures and tragic destinies, artfully employing the balladic form, marked by its rhythmic structures and refrains that echo the cyclical nature of love and loss. Set against the backdrop of pastoral landscapes, the ballad encapsulates universal themes while drawing upon local traditions, emblematic of its time and literary context that seeks to honor oral storytelling traditions while inviting readers into an intimate, reflective space. The authors of this anthology, variously celebrated figures in their own right, have been influenced by rich cultural heritages and historical narratives. Their collaborative effort reflects a tapestry of perspectives, often rooted in personal experiences and regional lore, making "Ermeline" an essential addition to the canon of ballad literature. By synthesizing their unique voices, they breathe life into the character of Ermeline, evoking empathy and prompting reflections on human emotions and societal norms. For readers who appreciate the intricate intersections of narrative and verse, "Ermeline: A Ballad" is a compelling exploration of human narratives that transcend time. It invites you to immerse yourself in a world where every stanza resonates with passion, poignancy, and the haunting echoes of love's endurance, making it a must-read for anyone enamored with the literary art of storytelling.

    Mark Carney has been presented to the public as a savior-steady, smart, and principled. But beneath the polished media persona lies something more dangerous: a man who exemplifies the rise of post-democratic rule through unelected elites. 
    This book tracks Carney's journey from Goldman Sachs to global central banking, from his UN climate roles to his high-powered ESG empire at Brookfield. Along the way, it exposes the mechanics of "stakeholder capitalism," the illusion of green finance, and the use of climate policy as a trojan horse for elite consolidation of power. 
    It explores how financial mandates are being rewritten in real time, how climate activism is monetized by private equity, and how Carney has helped build a system that serves global capital at the expense of sovereign citizens. You'll learn about his connections to Trudeau's inner circle, the King's Privy Council, the World Economic Forum, and a future where democracy is replaced by governance-by-consensus-consensus defined by billionaires. 
    This is a forensic account of how one man's career illustrates the quiet revolution redefining capitalism and democracy in the 21st century. 
    From the so-called transition to net-zero to the manipulation of monetary policy, this exposé unearths the conflicts of interest, ideological agendas, and concentrated authority behind Carney's carefully managed image. 
    If you thought Canada still belonged to its people, this book will make you think again.

    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.

    They arrive alive. They always leave dead.But first, they give me their confessions.
     
    My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things.
     
    Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else.
     
    The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head.Now, maybe they're messing with yours too.Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions focused on serial killers:
     
    Patient Karen – she’s not quite the church-going woman you’d want baking cupcakesPatient Clinton – is officially color-blind except, in rare cases, he sees one bloody colorPatient Cori – he’s a psychotic carny and proud of itPatient Sister Rose - she’s the ultimate killer Sister
     
    WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?
     
    Are you a fan of Stephen King and Joe Hill? Do you like to read books like The Bird Box, The Haunting? Maybe you’re the type who binge-watch series on serial killers?If that’s you – then you are going to enjoy these deathbed confessions from The Asylum.

    It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it. 
    Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And then he needed Chad to save his. 
    When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the rescue team began to go to work, they became aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and children--facing persecution. 
    This gripping account of two war heroes and friends puts human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history, giving you a closer look at:The resilience of Afghanistan and its peopleThe twenty-year war that took place under four presidentsA mission accomplished and the work that’s still to be done 
      
    Saving Aziz is more than a story of war and rescue: it's about breaking down prejudice and apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving one another. 
      
    Praise for Saving Aziz: 
    "Saving Aziz is the story of two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others." 
    --Tim Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces, Sniper
