Brimstone Angels: A Forgotten Realms Novel (Neverwinter Nights)


Price: $7.99
amazon button

Product Description

Praise for Erin M. Evans’s first book, The God Catcher:
“Extremely entertaining, The God Catcher was a great surprise for me. Evans' fluent style glues this book in the reader's hands. With an action-packed story and vivid characters, it quickly becomes a page-turner.” –Speculative Book Review

[The story] flowed wonderfully and it was fast paced and exciting.  . . . Every subplot or side story all seemed natural and fitting. . . .I loved the characters. Everything was described well enough to give you an idea and it allowed for your imagination to create the rest. It’s as vivid and as abstract as you can get, all thanks to the descriptions.  –Read Between the Lines

“Under Evans’ pen, the city of Waterdeep really comes to life on the page; full of everything that a city needs to be a thriving home for a great story. . . . Evans proves to be a bit of a master ! at laying the seeds for one plot and then having it turn into something else when you’re not expecting it (even though it ends up looking like it was going that way the whole time).”—Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review

Overview:

Rejected at birth and raised in a village of tiefling misfits, Farideh expects a life without friends, love, or control over her destiny. Then she makes a pact with a devil named Lorcan, and everything changes.
 
Lorcan promises all she ever dreamed of and asks for nothing in return. Her twin sister Havilar urges Farideh to resist the devil’s sway. But Farideh’s not so sure. Lorcan may be dangerous but the power he offers is exhilarating.

In the ruins of Neverwinter, Farideh’s doubts get tangled up in a devilish snare six layers deep. A succubus playing human pawns against an otherworldly foe sees the twins as obstacles in her path. And Lorcan’s monstrous sisters have! their eyes on the city—and on Farideh. There’s no! time to question her pact with Lorcan—it will take every ounce of Farideh’s newfound powers to get out of Neverwinter alive.

Love Tokens For Peggy McGee


Price: $9.42
amazon button

Product Description

This unique book teaches a valuable lesson in unconditional love and acceptance. Note from Author: It is because of my 5 year old daughter Lili-Jade that the idea for this story came about. She said to me one day, "Mama, I wish everyone could be happy all the time, like at Christmas time." I asked her what she thought we could do to make people happy. "Maybe if we gave love to everyone, that would make them happy," she replied. This got me thinking what a little girl could do to show people love. I decided that creating something with her hands with love as the intent could be an idea. Lili-Jade picked up her scissors and cut out a heart and told me to write a message on the inside. It went something like this, "I give this love to you, pass this on to give love too." Lili-Jade and her sister Sophie have made many Love Tokens for friends and family! In this story Peggy McGee is a free spirited little girl who is made fun of because of the way she dresses. ! In the end her classmates feel terrible for what they said and decide to make her Love Tokens. This book teaches unconditional love which we see between Peggy and her mother, and also the value of accepting people for who they are. A fantastic story for family reading time! Happy Reading, Stephanie Horwood

amazon button

Product Description

SMALL STEPS is a hip young adult novel from Louis Sachar, the New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Award–winning smash hit phenomenon book and movie/DVD sensation HOLES.

Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it's hard when you have a record and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believe in Armpit is Ginny, his ten-year-old disabled neighbor. Together, they are learning to take small steps.

Armpit seems to be on the right path until X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake, comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-Ray's plan leads to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly Armpit's life spins out of control. Only one thing is certain: he'll never be the same again.

Combining his signature wit with a unique blend of adventure and deeply felt characters, Sachar explores issues of rac! e, the nature of celebrity, the invisible connections that shape a person's life, and what it takes to stay the course. Doing the right thing is never a wrong choice—but always a small step in right direction.
