Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something is killing Salla Saar. Ever since using the power of the Eyes of the One locked within him to locate Tempusalist and put an end to the 13th Paragon, the attacks have come, powerful and acute. Sometimes it’s as minor as a blackout. Other times, it’s as if he’s being broken to pieces from the inside out, and the next episode could be his last. He suspects it has something to do with the Eyes of the One, but why has their power turned on him now? Once in the custody of the Majdi Order, the peace-keeping sect that has been hunting him since Tempusalist, his fate is decided: Salla Saar is too dangerous to walk free. That declaration grants him a sentence to the House of Falling Rain—a retraining facility for wayward Majdi. Yet among the misfits of the Order housed in these decrepit corridors, there is another presence lurking, something filled with a dark and terrible purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something is killing Salla Saar. Ever since using the power of the Eyes of the One locked within him to eliminate the threat of Gargazant Ikahn at Tempusalist, the attacks have come, powerful and acute. Sometimes, he walks away with little more than a blackout. Other times, it is as though there is a force inside determined to break him apart a piece at a time, leaving him wishing for the pain, the uncertainty-for simply everything to end. These attacks have something to do with the Eyes of the One-he is convinced of that-but why has their power turned on him now? After a near-fatal episode, Salla awakens in the custody of the Majdi Order, the peace-keeping sect that has made it their mission to capture him in order to seal away the power of the Eyes. His fate has been decided, it seems: he is declared too dangerous to walk free. Even if he manages to survive these violent fractures of his mind and body, he might never set foot outside the walls of a prison again. Once locked away in the decrepit bowels of a retraining facility for wayward men and women of the Order called the House of Falling Rain, Salla finds a glimmer of hope in the darkness of this place. There are Majdi on the inside working in secret to halt the forces within intent on destroying him. But there is something else inside these old corridors with them, something filled with a dark and malevolent purpose...

Book excerpt: A poignant story of two estranged sisters from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels. At twenty Cassie Madison left her hometown of Walton, Georgia, for New York City, where she has reinvented herself—from losing herself in her career to squashing her accent. But one night a single phone call brings back everything she's tried to forget. She hasn't spoken to her sister since Harriet stole Cassie's fiancé and married him. But now Harriet's on the line with news that their father is dying. As she makes the trip back, the only thing that frightens Cassie more than losing her father is seeing Harriet and the family that should have been hers. But she can't help loving her nephews and nieces any more than she can help feeling at home again in Walton. As she fights a surprising reaction to a forgotten friend, and faces an unexpected threat to the family she'd once left behind, Cassie comes to realize that moving on doesn't always mean moving away from who you are.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of celebrated wartime storytellers Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene, Tan Twan Eng's debut novel casts a powerful spell. The recipient of extraordinary acclaim from critics and the bookselling community, Tan Twan Eng's debut novel casts a powerful spell and has garnered comparisons to celebrated wartime storytellers Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene. Set during the tumult of World War II, on the lush Malayan island of Penang, The Gift of Rain tells a riveting and poignant tale about a young man caught in the tangle of wartime loyalties and deceits. In 1939, sixteen-year-old Philip Hutton-the half-Chinese, half-English youngest child of the head of one of Penang's great trading families-feels alienated from both the Chinese and British communities. He at last discovers a sense of belonging in his unexpected friendship with Hayato Endo, a Japanese diplomat. Philip proudly shows his new friend around his adored island, and in return Endo teaches him about Japanese language and culture and trains him in the art and discipline of aikido. But such knowledge comes at a terrible price. When the Japanese savagely invade Malaya, Philip realizes that his mentor and sensei-to whom he owes absolute loyalty-is a Japanese spy. Young Philip has been an unwitting traitor, and must now work in secret to save as many lives as possible, even as his own family is brought to its knees.

But it’s 1972, and this new school puts them right in the middle of the Houston School District’s war on desegregation. Paulie soon begins to question everything.

When dark family secrets are revealed, the way forward for everyone will change the way Paulie thinks about family forever.

Book Synopsis House Built of Rain by : Russell Thornton
Download or read book House Built of Rain written by Russell Thornton and published by Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 2003 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell Thornton has the rare ability to be both keenly observant of the minute details of his environment and intensely introspective. His poetry is full of startling images that will stay with you long after turning the final page. In House Built of Rain, Thornton takes his readers on a dizzying journey of human experience - from the yearning of a young child to the sorrow of an adult losing a loved one to Alzheimer's. He covers a lot of ground along the way, witnessing prostitutes "counting out their smiles,/ and hiding in their pupils" or hiking to the mouth of the Capilano River where "the gulls know how the waters of this place can run two ways at once." Thornton writes about extremes: the moment of conception and the moment of death, tranquil forests and smoky urban bars, abuse and tenderness. Concerned but never pessimistic, fierce but compassionate, narrative but lyrical, House Built of Rain is a balanced collection of work that reveals Thornton's considerable talents as a wordsmith. Though his poems are often dark and edgy, he shows us beauty in a scream, ecstasy in violence and, in a dying breath, the universe.
