Ever since Rovan’s father died trying to keep her from this fate, she’s hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she’s bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception. Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can’t fully trust: Lydea, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, the handsome spirit with the ability to control Rovan, body and soul. Together, they uncover a secret that will destroy Thanopolis. To save them all, Rovan will have to start a rebellion in both the mortal world and the underworld, and find a way to trust the princess and spirit battling for her heart—if she doesn’t betray them first.

Download or read book Ravenous written by Dayna Macy and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should I eat? How much should I eat? What does it mean to be nourished? How can I, a food lover and lifelong overeater, learn to be satisfied? These are the questions Dayna Macy asks in her debut memoir, Ravenous. Like many of us, Macy has had a complicated relationship with food. In order to transform this relationship, Macy embarks on a year-long journey to uncover the origins of her food obsessions. From her childhood home in upstate New York, and back up the California coast, Macy travels across the country, meeting with farmers, food artisans, butchers, a Zen chef, a forager, a chocolatier, and others—to understand where her meals come from, why she craves certain foods, and what food means to her. She looks at how nostalgia is deeply embedded in food, and how the powerful forces of family and tradition shape our food choices. Rather than head straight for the diet manuals, she chooses to change her relationship with food from the inside out. She delves deeper into the spiritual underpinnings of eating, examines what it means to be satisfied, and ultimately forges her own path to balance and freedom.

Download or read book The Ravenous written by W. B. Baker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centuries of warfare had barely encroached upon Glamorgans boundaries and any who dared its conquest met with bold resistance. Warriors lurking in the mountains of Wales invited all unwary trespassers to come and taste of death. Such was the case in 1316, when Edward II attempted to resurrect a United Kingdom after the execution of William Wallace. As Edward and his Nobles would all too soon discover, the rage that English garrisons uncovered across the valleys of Wales would prove to rival any fury of the Scots. A Magnificent Re-emergence of English Literature For the 21st Century W. B. Baker has done more through his writing to promote Wales around the world than anyone in recent memory. Stunning imagery and the ability to convey the warmth of Welsh culture combine with historical accuracy to bring Wales its finest champion since Dylan Thomas. BBC Hall of Fame Southwest Wales The British People at Their Finest and Most Magnificent Shamelessly brutal in his examination of the human heart, W. B. Baker presents Britain a stunning masterpiece of fiction. The Ravenous is Bakers tour de force; the author using his considerable command of the English language to weave a majestic tale of valour and faith. Tottenham Court Road London, England A disturbing indictment of human frailty ... An even more glorius assertion of mans innate nobility Couched inconspicuously within this modern epic of Wales lie affirmations of the true majesty of humankind Within this moving tale, valiant men and women emerge from the mire of war to exemplify the inextinguishable courage of this nation we call home. Pwllypant Caerphilly, Wales REVIEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD David McAlister in Kansas City, Missouri I feel that Dr. Baker is not only a very gifted author, he is also one of the most interesting and compassionate individuals it has been my good fortune to call friend. Mitchell in New York, New York Great to see people talking about this author! I agree - The Ravenous - is probably Bakers strongest work so far. In-depth historical research into Edward II and a compelling storyline. GREAT BATTLE SCENES and some of the best poetry Ive come across in years. Gillian in Edinburgh, Scotland WHSmith now offers THE RAVENOUS and several of his other books! I couldnt find them at several bookstores, but they are all available on the internet. REALLY Brilliant writing! A touching account (The Ravenous) of a father and daughter trying to come to deal with war and its effect on their lives. Extremely well researched. Some of the best British storytelling out there! Geoffrey Crawley from London, England An extremely competent writer who has combined engrossing historical fiction with, undoubtedly, the finest iambic pentametre verse England has seen in the last hundred years. In The Ravenous, Baker uses the character of the Welsh poet to give us compelling moral principles such as: My Lord, the simplest truth may miss mans groans When he, in conquest of mere piece of land, Forgets he fights above his fathers bones, And only briefly in the sun may stand. Despite the gains of life, his finite hand May only once caress the timeless stone, That stands forever, top the Dark Unknown. and For ju
