Can you hear him? The beast is coming for you. Long ago, a curse fell upon the land—a curse of forgetting and wraiths, a curse that ensured no daughters were born to the pied pipers in over three centuries. The pipers were all that stood between humanity and utter destruction, so they did the only thing they could: they stole the daughters of the nearby kingdom with their hypnotizing melodies. With the sons born from those unions, they continued to defend against the wraiths and fight the curse, even though they were slowly losing. Larkin was one of those daughters. Stolen by Denan and married against her will, she found herself falling in love with the very man who had taken everything from her, the man who had made her a princess. Together, they discovered that she was the first woman in three centuries to possess the magic of the pipers, and therefore, the only person capable of breaking the ancient curse. But breaking the curse means unraveling the very past the curse is intent on keeping secret. The answer lies buried in the crypts of the Black Druids, men who consider Larkin a traitor they’ll kill on sight. Embedded in the intrigues of their court, she unearths a dark conspiracy destined to hasten the destructive power of the curse—a conspiracy aimed at destroying her piper prince.

If you like your name, hurrah! If you don't like your name, don't fret. Turns out, you're in pretty good company. Publishing her debut children's book, My Name is Leona, revealed to author Carol Gahara Harris that a great many people dislike their names, especially when they're young. But as happens for the little girl in this heartwarming story and as happened for the author, sometimes people have a change of heart. Leona tells us right off the bat that she doesn't like her name. She does her very best to understand this name, but she can't. It isn't even on the family tree! Like the author, Leona never names her dolls or stuffed animals - it's just too difficult to decide on the right name! - and vows to change her name when she grows up. Naming her pet goldfish offers a whole new challenge, and the trouble doesn't end when Leona finds herself torn between two names while trying to name her cat. As it dawns on Leona that choosing the right name is hard to do, she goes to the source. Finally she realizes that her own name is special - as special as she is - and that it was picked 'on purpose, with love, and deliberately!' In fact, every name in this story was selected with the utmost care. 'Leona' was the name of the author's beloved grandmother, and even the alternate names Leona tries out are the names of the author's daughters, mother, mother-in-law, sisters, and her other grandmother. Charming and sweet, this story reveals just exactly how Leona learns to love her name and the many mishaps she experiences as she comes to realize that choosing one, for herself or someone else, is anything but easy.

Bullies: How Prep School Bullying, Hazing and Unspeakable Abuse Altered a Young Man's Future Gus is blessed with wealth, family legacy and opportunity. His family produces the boots worn by the US military. "Everyone wore Gordon boots—from the newest recruits to the most senior officers in the United States Army and Marine Corps. Gordon boots carried the mystique of Prussian militarism; the smell of victory in soft, thick black leather."

Bullies set his room on fire, and finally, the vicious attack - the point of no return for an innocent young man. With the help of a Serbian para-military thug hired by his father, Gus is transformed into a decorated "flame throwing" Marine. But war medals cannot erase the childhood trauma, nor the pain he inflicted as a result. Hoping to mend deep emotional wounds, Gus seeks redemption in love from an otherwise "perfect" woman who cannot provide it.Teens who suffer from bullying or hazing - and their parents - must read this book. Wealthy moms and dads cannot assume that their precious children are safe behind private school or prep school walls. The slide into a life of pain and betrayal begins with one treacherous act.
