Highly recommended, especially for public and school library children's collections.” —The Midwest Book ReviewAll of Crystalia is in danger. The Prophecy says only the five princesses can unite to break the Dark Consul’s power. But what happens when one of them goes missing?From the epic fantasy world of Super Dungeon comes the first novel in a riveting new series.

King Jasper III, ruler of all Crystalia, needs someone who works outside the system to search for his missing heir, and Blaze fits that description perfectly. After all, Princess Sapphire is no damsel-in-distress, so the King is sure something must be terribly wrong. To find the missing princess, Blaze must travel to the Frostbyte Reach—a cold, miserable nightmare of a place for any Ember Mage. On her quest, Blaze soon finds out the situation is far worse than the King feared. The entire mountain is under siege by an army of bloodthirsty orcs who are crafting a weapon of incredible power. Frozen tundra or not, orcs or not, Blaze has accepted the call. Now she must prove to King Jasper—and to herself—that the King's trust was not misplaced.

The amazing story told first hand by Gad Shimron in Mossad Exodus is now the subject of a new movie called "Red Sea Diving Resort." The drama, written and directed by Homeland co-creator Gideon Raff, is expected to be released later this year and stars Chris Evans, Haley Bennett, Alessandro Nivola, Michael K. Williams and Ben Kingsley. In 1977, Israel s Mossad spy agency was given an assignment far different from its usual cloak and dagger activities. It was ordered by then Prime Minister Menachem Begin to rescue thousands of Ethiopian Jewish refugees in Sudan and deliver them to me in the Jewish state. No stranger to action in enemy countries, the agency established a covert forward base in a deserted holiday village in Sudan, and deployed a handful of operatives to launch and oversee the exodus of the refugees to the Promised Land, by sea and by air, in the early 1980s. Gad Shimron, the author of this book, was one of their number. First published in Hebrew in 1998, this updated English version of the book offers a thrilling firsthand account of how the operation was put in place, and how the Mossad team in Sudan brought it off, despite great personal risk, running a partying vacation spot for wealthy tourists by day as they stole through the Sudanese desert to rescue desperate refugees by night. The book sheds light on American involvement in the latter stages of the operation, when the White House facilitated an airlift of Ethiopian Jews and the CIA station in Khartoum sheltered the last Mossad operatives, on the run from Libyan secret service agents, and spirited them out of Sudan in special boxes labeled Diplomatic Mail. Enhanced by Gad Shimron s wide-ranging historical observations and his crisp, incisive prose, this is at once an entertaining read and a powerful tale of idealistic heroism.

Praise for Spellbound Under the Spanish Moss:“Spellbound Under the Spanish Moss tells us, ‘magic is channeling what you feel into something you can touch and see. First, you have to believe.’ I believe in Connor and Kevin Garrett and in the magic they have channeled into every glorious page of this pitch-perfect Low Country fever dream of a hero’s quest. This novel is a welcome reminder of the transcendent power of family and that the aspects of ourselves which make us different also make us powerful. Spellbound is a gift, destined to be treasured and shared.”—Jonathan Haupt, executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center and co-editor of Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy "Myths and legends speak to us in ways that logic fails. And Spellbound is just exactly that — A myth, a legend, and a story that will speak to your heart. The Garretts weave a magical tale that portrays the power of forgiveness and self love. This book is a mystical experience and a powerful story.” -- Patti Callahan Henry, author of 15 The New York Times and USA Today bestsellers, including Becoming Mrs. Lewis: The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis, and winner of The Harper Lee Distinguished Writer of the Year for 2020"A fable with epic charm and glittering personality, Spellbound Under the Spanish Moss is a whimsical allegory resplendent with plausible magic and universal truths." — Claire Fullerton, author Mourning Dove, Little Tea and others "When my sons were in school, they were often caught reading Harry Potter in the hallways between classes. I hope my grandchildren will be caught withSpellbound." —Peter Onorati, film and television actor“Connor and Kevin Garrett have spun an exceptional 'Tale of Southern Magic' in Spellbound. The blackwater swamps of southern Georgia are the perfect setting for this mythological folktale of betrayal and dark magic. But heroic sacrifice and love balance out the story, whose landscape is dotted with witches, shapeshifters, poisonous fruit, dreamcatchers, and a flower that never dies.” —Susan Cushman, author of Cherry Bomb and Friends of the Library, and editor of Southern Writers on Writing and The Pulpwood Queens Celebrate 20 Years!“Ingredients are what we all are searching for. The Garretts’ masterfully wield together profound, mystical and mythical challenges underneath the skies of dusty Georgia.
