The bright October sun was half-way down the western sky one Saturday afternoon. Two-thirds of the Fall month had already gone, and the air was becoming fairly crisp in the early mornings. All around the forest trees were painted various shades of bright scarlet, burnt umber brown and vivid gold by the practiced fingers of that master artist, the Frost-King. Flocks of robins and blackbirds were gathering rather late this year, preparatory to taking their annual pilgrimage to the warm Southland. They flew overhead at times in vast numbers, making a tremendous chatter

—Unbridled power corrupts, but what halter provides the bridle?Magic is not free. It has a price, and the price for difficult magic is rapid aging. Because cold iron short circuits controlled magic, wizards in the Age of Magic struggle to find a new source of power to compete against the dawning Age of Steel. Without a new strategy, a new source of power for the rule of wizards, cold steel dooms the Age of Magic and the Age of Iron will ascend.When Junak the Hunter attempts to save his wife from marauding slavers, an explosion of wild magic burns away his right hand. With the aid of a wizard recently released from an imprisoning stasis, Junak's hand regenerates, but not to its original condition. Instead, the hand acquires a quicksilver sheen, and magical power flows from that hand into any steel weapon Junak wields. Magic was never able to bend iron to its will before. Will Junak's new ability allow him to reunite his family or simply make him a wildcard tool that a wizard can use to topple a kingdom? Junak Silverhand is Book 1 in the Age of Magic / Age of Iron series.

This book explains the seasons of a woman's life as a school for eternity and her relationships as the classroom. Donna Ferguson shows us that without an ongoing partnership with the Holy Spirit no woman can expect to fulfill her destiny as co executor of the will of God for humanity or discover the treasure God has for her within these relationships. Balanced between reality and myth, fact and faith, commitment and conscience, the author shows how childhood experiences impact adult relationships and set the stage for the next generation. She writes, "Marriage joins more than a man and a woman. It is the combining of two life dramas, two sets of parents, siblings, and any number of bit players within those dramas. We now have a more complicated drama. As the saying goes, "the plot thickens," and the ones most apt to complicate the new drama are the little boy and girl we used to be, and in many instances, continue to be."
