La situazione per l'Impero si sta facendo sempre più difficile. A Kallispar ormai è tutto pronto per il matrimonio tra Lilith e Vantigar. Nella capitale, Aeon Prime non si dà pace: suo figlio Laris e Upyr sono dispersi a Nord. L'Imperatore medita la mossa definitiva contro l'odiato Re Cervo, per portare finalmente la pace definitiva tra gli Uomini. Il senatore Sirio cerca disperatamente di non far precipitare gli eventi. Basterà il coraggio di un pugno di Uomini a evitare un nuovo disastro?

Gli uomini, la razza dominante del mondo di Daanan, hanno rischiato l'estinzione a causa di una catastrofe antica. Sono però sopravvissuti, sebbene disuniti, fino all'arrivo di Aeon Prime, temerario generale della Legione, capace di riunire le varie tribù e villaggi in un'unica nazione, l'Impero, ritrovando una parvenza di pace. Non tutti, infatti, riconoscono Aeon Prime come Imperatore e in molti si oppongono alla sua opera. Mentre sul fronte interno l'Impero cerca di trovare l'unità, dunque, ai suoi confini altre razze cercano di affermare la loro esistenza. Ma nuove minacce si addensano all'orizzonte, e assumono l'aspetto ferino di un cervo.

Delancey Street in New York conjures up an entire world of Yiddishkeit, 'The quality of being Jewish; the Jewish way of life or its customs and practices.' Delancey, and the streets that cross it in the Lower East Side—Ludlow, Essex, Orchard, Rivington, and its 'sister' street to the north, Houston Street—are the historical home of Jewish immigrants and thus a cradle of that unique Jewish experience.

All the foods that were brought to America in the early 20th century by Jews during the great emigration from Europe came to the Lower East Side: knishes, bagels, lox, pastrami, whitefish, dill pickles, kasha, herring (in multiple variations), egg creams, and much more. It is an area that continues to undergo rapid change but Eating Delancey hopes to capture forever the Jewish cuisine of the Lower East Side.

Eating Delancey is a compilation of gorgeous photographs of classic Jewish food, with profiles and receipes from classic LES Jewish eateries such as Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse, Russ & Daughters Appetizers, Katz's Delicatessen, Yonah Shimmel Knish Bakery, and Ratner's. These are complimented by celebrity reminiscences.

What if there was something you could do-something simple, yet so powerful-that could positively influence others and change your life in the process? Critically acclaimed author River Jordan discovered that very thing...

As 2009 approached, both of River Jordan's sons were about to go off to war-one to Iraq and the other to Afghanistan-and she was planning a family reunion to see them off. All River could do was pray for her sons' safety and hope to maintain her strength, until she unexpectedly came upon the perfect New Year's resolution-one that focused on others instead of herself. She would pray for a complete stranger every single day of the year.

In Praying for Strangers, Jordan tells that the discovery that she made along the journey was not simply that her prayers touched the lives of these strangers (in often astounding ways), but that the unexpected connections she made with other people would be a profound experience that would change her life forever.

What if you had the power to amend choices you made in the past? Would you do it even if it changed everything?
 
Mercy Land has made some unexpected choices for a young woman in the 1930s. The sheltered daughter of a traveling preacher, she chooses to leave her rural community to move to nearby Bay City on the warm, gulf-waters of southern Alabama. There she finds a job at the local paper and spends seven years making herself indispensible to old Doc Philips, the publisher and editor. Then she gets a frantic call at dawn—it's the biggest news story of her life, and she can't print a word of it.
           
Doc has come into possession of a curious book that maps the lives of everyone in Bay City—decisions they've made in the past, and how those choices affect the future. Mercy and Doc are consumed by the mystery locked between the pages—Doc because he hopes to right a very old wrong, and Mercy because she wants to fulfill the book's strange purpose. But when a mystery from Mercy's past arrives by train, she begins to understand that she will have to make choices that will deeply affect everyone she loves—forever.

Ever since her husband Joe died, Velma True's world has been limited to what she can see while clinging to one of the multicolored threads tied to the porch railing of her home outside Echo, Florida.

When a mysterious stranger appears at her door on her birthday and presents Velma with a special gift, she is rattled by the object's ability to take her into her memories–a place where Joe still lives, her son Rudy is still young, unaffected by the world's hardness, and the beginning is closer than the end. As secrets old and new come to light, Velma wonders if it's possible to be unmoored from the past's deep roots and find a reason to hope again.
