A Goddess Rises… The goddess Maja is alive, thanks to Adina’s grandfather Sujani, and her existence is pulling the world out of balance. Between floods, plagues and wildfires, the realm is heading straight for another Cataclysm. It’s up to Adina to prevent it. Or die trying.

To forge another, Adina must find the bones of a twelve-hundred-year-old dragon and a mystical energy source strong enough to wield divine magic.

Kill the goddess, save the world… Adina must untangle Damon and Sujani’s schemes if she has any hope of making it through this with her un-life intact. With some allies and unexpected help, the realm might just have a chance. But she will need to use every trick in her arsenal to survive, obliterate Maja, and save the world. Goddess of Blood and Shadows is the thrilling conclusion to The Vampire Assassin Chronicles.
This new book aims at inspiring managers and passionate, influential (new) leaders to re-think how to address communication markets, challenge the way how to orchestrate communication instruments, find new ways to communicate the New, and cultivate a positive communication culture. Leadership communication is a critical success factor of senior management teams and (new) leaders (game changer, pioneers) in the digital and human age to better interact and connect with others; drive innovation and adoption processes; and empower young minds with joy, abundance, and wisdom. In the classical view, leadership communication is part of management communication which means leaders primarily use instruments focusing on teams, presentations, and negotiations. In the modern view, however, new leadership communication also encompasses social media and innovation communication. It dives deeper into ground rules for effective leadership communication and key themes, such as virtual communication, innovation and leadership, and communication model innovation. Be the inspiration! Become a new leader and shape the world.
In a letter to Boccaccio, Petrarch extolled the virtue of poetry and letters for promoting an understanding of both human nature and morals. The letter was designed to console him after hearing a prediction that he was soon to die and that he ought to renounce poetry. The prophecy came from an elder renowned for his piety, but Petrarch admonished that too often dishonesty and fraud are couched in religious sentiments. Nothing, not even death, according to Petrarch, ought to divert us from literature. For Petrarch, Virgil was the source for understanding how literary studies not only promote eloquence, but enhance morals. If anything, literature dispels the fear of death. The claims of this v...

Adina's mentor plans to sacrifice her to save the world. Her worst enemy will sacrifice the world to save her.
Two crews. Two ships. One sacrifice.
Ceri could not be happier. She and her crew had fought hard to get the Stratford back on course. Now, with her passengers secured in stasis and headed to their new home, she could focus on leading her crew and getting to know Fana better.
But, even on a ship designed to endure a thousand year journey, systems failed. When a fire stuck the stasis pods and killed passengers Ceri swore to protect, she is forced to once again deal with her enemy—Commander Azazhi—to save them.
It could have not gone more wrong.
Saving her passengers was far from Ceri’s only problem, however. Danger lurking in the depths of the ship threatened her crew, and to protect everyone, Ceri must put her life at risk to battle a threat they all believed was long gone.

Will he be able to move forward now? And what about his plans to help his friends? Because of his reckless attitude, Rance will face the hardest decision he’s ever had to make—save the Empire…or his friends.
