Saved from the grasp of Death itself by a powerful fox spirit named Sil, Roan must harness mysterious ancient power, and quickly.

Audio avec voix humaine
The ruling family of the Soleri Empire has been in power longer than even the calendars that stretch back 2,826…
years. Those records tell a history of conquest and domination by a people descended from gods, older than anything in the known world. No living person has seen them for centuries, yet their grip on their four subjugate kingdoms remains tighter than ever. On the day of the annual eclipse, the Harkan king, Arko-Hark Wadi, sets off on a hunt and shirks his duty rather than bow to the emperor. Ren, his son and heir, is a prisoner in the capital, while his daughters struggle against their own chains. Merit, the eldest, has found a way to stand against imperial law and marry the man she desires, but needs her sister's help, and Kepi has her own ideas. Meanwhile, Sarra Amunet, Mother Priestess of the sun god's cult, holds the keys to the end of an empire and a past betrayal that could shatter her family. 2017.

It is All Souls Day, and the spirit of Marcus Conway sits at his kitchen table and remembers. In flowing,…
relentless prose, Conway recalls his life in rural Ireland: as a boy and man, father, husband, citizen. His ruminations move from childhood memories of his father's deftness with machines to his own work as a civil engineer, from transformations in the local economy to the tidal wave of global financial collapse. Conway's thoughts go still further, outward to the vast systems of time and history that hold us all. He stares down through the "vortex of his being," surveying all the linked circumstances that combined to bring him into this single moment, and he makes us feel, if only for an instant, all the terror and gratitude that existence inspires. Winner of the 2018 International Dublin Literary Award. 2017.

While obvious on the surface, understanding the subtle difference between a life journey to "somewhere" and a life journey to…
"somewhere you desire to be" will determine how satisfied you are with your life and the decisions you make along the way. Jackson and Grimes share a novel approach to this subject. In this book, they show you that it is really how we make important decisions that will determine how happy we are. And that there is a special set of information about yourself that can point your decisions in the right direction--like a compass. Without that special information about ourselves we are susceptible to great periods of wasted time, pain and suffering. 2017.
