Sometimes all a girl needs is a good dress and some magic shoes.Prince Charming is optional.My goal was simple: create a killer fashion design portfolio, win the scholarship to the school of my dreams, and never have to clean my step-familys house again. I just needed some inspiration. Something to set my portfolio apart from all the other up-and-coming designers. A little fashion magic.I didnt expect literal magic.But then my friend dressed me up like a fae princess, and whisked me away to Faerie. The food! The dancing! The dresses! This was just the inspiration I needed, so when the crown prince asked me to stay and be his fake girlfriend, I jumped at the opportunity.Prince Tiernan is gorgeous and charming, but Im just a part of a plot to find his bride. Thats fine by me. Im just here for the fashion. No messy feelings. On the other hand, its very hard to not have my head turned by a boy who gives me a dragon egg.The longer I stay in Faerie with Tiernan, the more caught up I get in the magic of his kingdom, and I start to believe the stories were spinning for everyone. Stories of magic and sacrifice and maybe even true love.I cant lose sight of my goals. I need to win that scholarship. Putting my heart on the line for a prince and his kingdom is just too risky. Am I brave enough to try? Maybe if I find the right dress.Wheres a fairy godmother when you need one?**If you think Ever After is the best Cinderella retelling, because they actually get to know each other, or that Project Runway would be improved by having a baby dragon, try The Glass Gate! This is a sweet, stand-alone retelling of Cinderella, set in the Faerie Tale Romances world**

Life moves through us in quiet currents, unseen yet unmistakable. There is a force, subtle and profound, that animates every breath, every pulse, every thought, the energy the Japanese call seimei. It is not merely the beating of the heart or the warmth of the body; it is the invisible current that connects body, mind, and spirit, weaving together the ordinary and the extraordinary into the fabric of living.This book is an invitation. An invitation to observe your own vitality, to sense the energy that flows within and around you, and to cultivate it with intention. In our daily lives, we often overlook this force, mistaking it for mere health, stamina, or emotion. Yet when we awaken to it, life transforms: the mundane hums with possibility, challenges become opportunities, and even rest carries the richness of renewal.Seimei The Energy of Life is structured to guide you through discovery and practice. It blends reflection with action, insight with ritual, and understanding with embodiment. Here, philosophy meets daily living, ancient wisdom meets modern reality, and observation meets intention. Each chapter is designed not only to inform, but to inspire practice, small yet profound acts that restore, strengthen, and expand the life force within you.This is a first edition manuscript, written as an original exploration of vitality. It carries the freshness of discovery, the openness of a mind curious about lifes energy, and the sincerity of one who has sought it firsthand. May it serve as both compass and companion on your journey, awakening a deeper awareness of the energy that moves through every moment of your life.

Human growth is often described as a journey, yet few people are ever given a map. We are encouraged to improve, to evolve, to become stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled, but the path toward such development is rarely explained with clarity. Many begin enthusiastically, only to find themselves overwhelmed by scattered advice, conflicting philosophies, and systems that promise transformation yet deliver confusion.This book was written to simplify that journey.Rikugi The Six Principles of Growth is built upon a simple idea: meaningful development requires structure. Growth that is sustainable, balanced, and enduring does not arise from random motivation or occasional bursts of effort. It emerges from principles that guide behavior consistently over time.The inspiration for this framework comes from classical Japanese approaches to discipline and harmony. Across centuries, Japanese philosophy and cultural practice have emphasized balance, patience, responsibility, and steady improvement. Whether in martial traditions, craftsmanship, education, or everyday life, progress has often been understood not as a dramatic leap forward but as a gradual refinement of character.The concept of rikugi, or "six principles," reflects this structured perspective. Rather than overwhelming the reader with endless techniques or strategies, this book focuses on six essential foundations that support all meaningful growth. Each principle represents a pillar. Individually they are powerful, but together they create a stable architecture for personal development.These six principles are not rigid rules. They are guides. They do not demand perfection, nor do they assume that life unfolds in a straight line. Instead, they offer orientation , a way to remain grounded even when circumstances change.The principles explored in this book address six essential dimensions of growth: clarity of direction, disciplined practice, balance between effort and rest, responsibility for ones own path, adaptability in thought, and contribution beyond the self. Each of these elements strengthens the others. When one is neglected, the structure weakens. When they operate together, progress becomes natural and sustainable.

Es war ein zweisitziger Sportwagen mit verdunkelten Scheiben, soviel sah er noch.Alles Weitere dauerte nur Sekunden!Eine der Scheiben ging ein Stuck hinunter, etwas Langliches schob sich einige Zentimeter hindurch und dann blitzte es auf einmal.Es war ein Mundungsfeuer ohne Schugerausch. Nur ein Klacken des Abzugs, das durch die Gerausche der Umgebung fast vollig verschluckt wurde.Und trotzdem war es ein Gerausch, das Larry Kostler das Blut in den Adern gefrieren lie, denn er kannte es nur zu gut...Es war ein verdammt haliches Gerausch, auch wenn es kaum zu horen war.Larry Kostler sah eine Kugel am Lack der Limousine kratzen, direkt vor seinen Augen, oben auf dem Dach.Und noch ehe er wirklich begriffen hatte, was vor sich ging, und da der Fahrer des fremden Wagens es ganz offensichtlich auf sein Leben abgesehen hatte, wurde ein zweiter Schu abgefeuert. Und ein Dritter und dann noch ein Vierter.Kostler sah den Chauffeur mit einem kleinen, runden Loch im Kopf auf dem Pflaster liegen.Die Augen starrten weit aufgerissen in den smogverhangenen Himmel.

There are actions in life that appear ordinary but contain profound meaning. Cleaning is one of them. A broom moving across the floor, a cloth passing over a surface, a hand placing an object back in its place, these gestures seem simple, even mundane. Yet throughout many traditions, cleaning has never been merely about removing dust. It has been understood as a quiet act of renewal.The practice known as sji reflects this deeper perspective. In its original spirit, cleaning is not only about restoring physical order; it is also a process of cultivating awareness. When we clean attentively, we begin to notice how disorder forms, how carelessness accumulates, and how small actions shape the environment around us. Gradually, the act of cleaning reveals something larger: the outer world often mirrors the inner one.Modern life produces a constant flow of objects, information, obligations, and emotions. Over time, these accumulate in our homes, our schedules, and our minds. The result is not only physical clutter but also mental noise. Many people attempt to solve this by seeking complex systems for productivity or elaborate philosophies of self-improvement. Yet clarity often begins with something far simpler: removing what is unnecessary.Sji invites us to rediscover this simplicity.

A Forbidden Jungle. A Missing Expedition. A Secret Buried Beneath the Green.Deep in the heart of South America lies a region that does not appear on most maps.A place whispered about in border villages and denied by governments.A stretch of rainforest known only as La Frontera Verde.People who enter it do not always come back.And those who do rarely speak about what they saw.Del Harrison has built a career on chasing danger.For more than a decade he has traveled the world as a war photographer, documenting conflicts in the ruins of cities and the chaos of collapsing nations.
