Books with title The Golden Sphere

The Race for the Sphere Begins! It’s a new year for Elijah Hawk and the Magi students. After spending the previous year avoiding lethal attacks by the evil Maliphists and risking his life to break his uncle out of prison, Elijah welcomes a summer of peace and relaxation. But things don’t stay peaceful for long. The Maliphists are after a legendary sphere—an ancient weapon that’s been hidden for centuries, capable of mass destruction. And Elijah has been given a quest to find it before the Maliphists do. However, there’s one catch. He must keep his quest a secret. Now, Elijah must pour himself into the ancient history of the Magi, looking for clues that will literally take him to the ends of the Earth searching for the lost sphere, all the while keeping up with his other obligations for a Magi in training, such as learning to use the elements in battle. But when things go terribly wrong, keeping his mission a secret becomes much more complicated, and Elijah must decide between his ultimate quest or the safety of those he loves.

His eyes. His touch. His kiss. Dante was unlike anyone Abby had ever met. Now he’s gone, and Abby will do anything to get him back . . . The hourglass door has closed behind Dante, sending him back in time to hunt down Zo, Tony, and V. Abby knows that Dante, as a Master of Time, is the only one who can stop them from destroying time itself. She also knows that he will need her help. But almost immediately, things start to change, and Abby’s worst fears are realized when Zo begins targeting her past specifically. As Abby’s world fractures around her, she must face a terrible truth: either Dante didn’t make it through the door, or he is lost forever. So with Dante’s blueprints in hand, she begins construction on a new door, a new time machine that will either save Dante—or doom him. With each new change that ripples into her present, Abby’s life continues to spiral out of control. Her relationships with Jason, Natalie, and even her family are threatened to the breaking point—and beyond. Zo’s power is greater than Abby ever imagined, but as she struggles to free Dante, she receives help from an unexpected—and unlikely—ally. The bank is eroding. The barriers are thinning. And time is running out.

In the mid-1860s, as the Union Pacific Railroad headed westward from Nebraska, another company, the Central Pacific, pushed eastward from California. Their goal was to meet somewhere in between, forming a single railway line that would bridge the continent. That historic meeting took place in May 1869 in northern Utah, and photographer Andrew J. Russell was there to document the historic event. His work resulted in one of the most important photos of the 19th century and probably the most famous railroad image of all time. The photo, often called “East and West,” was viewed by a worldwide audience and affirmed that railroads were at the cutting edge of transportation technology. The continent was now linked.
