ANCIENT HATRED NEVER DIES.

For two centuries, the Der’geron have waited.

Exiled after the great elven war, they have nursed their vengeance in silence. Now, as unrest fractures the Northern Kingdom and alliances weaken, the long-shadowed enemy begins to rise.

Callum Walker never asked for destiny.

But when he and his companion Jax attempt to repair the failing veil between realms, they are captured and dragged into the hellish grotto beneath Elfarian. Forced to labor or die, Callum uncovers a terrifying truth:

This will not be a war.

It will be a reckoning.

Tempted by dark magic and haunted by his own buried anguish, Callum must decide whether to embrace a power that may save the realm—or destroy his soul.

For readers who love epic fantasy with political tension, reluctant heroes, and magic that comes at a cost.

She came home for a fresh start. She found a body instead.

After a divorce, an empty nest, and a life that no longer fit, interior designer Minna Halonen returns to the lakeside town she grew up in — ready to trade city stress for flickering candles, pine forests, and the quiet rhythm of Nordic living.

Then a body turns up on her doorstep. On opening morning.

With whispers spreading through Lakewood’s tight-knit community and her dream business under suspicion, Minna has no choice but to put her designer’s eye for detail to a very different use. Because someone in this charming little town isn’t as cozy as they appear.

Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Laura Childs, and anyone who loves a mystery wrapped in hygge warmth.

I get it. I’ve been there. Back in 2003, I almost walked away from music completely. The rejection was constant, and I was tired of feeling like I wasn’t good enough. But I learned something powerful: the only thing standing between me and the life I wanted was the belief that it wasn’t possible.

Sheila K. Collins is no stranger to grief. After the loss of two of her children, Sheila felt disconnected from the support she needed, living in a society that makes us feel like we can't speak openly or honestly about the one thing we will all become acquainted with: grief.

The Art of Grieving challenges conventional attitudes towards grieving. Part memoir, part grief handbook and guide, Sheila draws on a lifetime of experience as a dancer, social work professor, and therapist to illustrate the value of grieving and how the arts can become grief's collaborator. This book provides guidance and resources on how to use the arts of storytelling, music, dance, and visual arts to make grieving itself a life-long art. When we utilize the arts to honor our losses and celebrate together, as our ancestors once did, we are provided a path to insight that allows us to continuously learn from our grief rather than fear it.
