The dashing young king, Nikolai Lantsov, has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war—and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him.

Book Synopsis Rising Above the Battle Scars by : Betty Thompson
Download or read book Rising Above the Battle Scars written by Betty Thompson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life for Former State Representative, Betty L. Thompson, has been full of adversity, tragedy, triumph, and accomplishments. From being born with total alopecia, to several personal family tragedies, Ms. Thompson has faced them all with strength, determination and courage. Ms. Thompson's mantra, "If you can take it, you can make it" has been her battle cry for everything she takes in life. She leads not only by thoughts, but by actions. When her husband, Jack, injured his neck in a horrific car accident, doctors recommended swimming as part of his therapy. Betty L. Thompson went to city council to obtain a permit to build a pool in the backyard of her home, and was met with laughter and resistance. "The council advised me no black person on the north side of University City could afford to build a swimming pool. That incident sparked the desire in me to run for city council so I could change that." After a campaign without any fundraising, she held a ten-block parade in University City. This parade helped her win the 1980 election against a white engineer. "I was the first African American female to sit on University City's city council and I served on that local legislative board for 18 years. I went from my dad and mom's house, to my husband's house, to the councilwoman's house in University City, to the state house in Jefferson City as a state legislator."
Download or read book A History of Scars written by Laura Lee and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a writer whose work has been called “breathtaking and dazzling” by Roxane Gay, this moving, illuminating, and multifaceted memoir explores, in a series of essays, the emotional scars we carry when dealing with mental and physical illnesses—reminiscent of The Collected Schizophrenias and An Unquiet Mind. In this stunning debut, Laura Lee weaves unforgettable and eye-opening essays on a variety of taboo topics. In “History of Scars” and “Aluminum’s Erosions,” Laura dives head-first into heavier themes revolving around intimacy, sexuality, trauma, mental illness, and the passage of time. In “Poetry of the World,” Laura shifts and addresses the grief she feels by being geographically distant from her mother whom, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, is relocated to a nursing home in Korea. Through the vivid imagery of mountain climbing, cooking, studying writing, and growing up Korean American, Lee explores the legacy of trauma on a young queer child of immigrants as she reconciles the disparate pieces of existence that make her whole. By tapping into her own personal, emotional, and psychological struggles in these powerful and relatable essays, Lee encourages all of us to not be afraid to face our own hardships and inner truths.

Book Synopsis Rising Above Bullying by : Rosemary Hayes
Download or read book Rising Above Bullying written by Rosemary Hayes and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme bullying can have devastating effects: it can leave a child severely traumatized, their self-esteem destroyed, and in deep despair. Many children who have been severely bullied are unable to attend school, and are deeply scarred by what has happened. This book reveals these shattering effects by telling the stories of eight children who have experienced extreme bullying and then found their way to recovery at a Red Balloon Learner Centre – a place where children can go to continue their education and recover their self-esteem, confidence and feelings of self-worth. Their stories also act to highlight common issues which often lie behind bullying behaviour such as weight, sexuality, race and religion. Guidance is given on what teachers and parents can do to help a child who is being bullied or a child who uses bullying behaviour, and what the bullied children themselves can do. Also included is a section on understanding bullying behaviour – how to read the signs, why some children may be targeted, what forms it can take, and why children often remain silent. This moving moving and insightful book is essential reading for all those who have encountered bullying: for parents and teachers, those who have been or are being bullied, and for those who do the bullying and their families.
