They turn eighteen, are about to graduate, go onto college, and have their lives ahead of them. But the next day, Tina goes missing… Five years later, Jim’s life has almost completely fallen apart. Tina’s parents have moved, he lost his family in a car accident, and he feels his life’s about to lose everything. He’s with the dog Tina gave him on their birthday and her cat when he decides to give up hope… Then Jim, the dog, and the cat are brought to the magical world where Tina has been lost. She tells him that she had been abducted by a highly advanced civilization called Pralmist in a parallel dimension. But something went wrong, and she ended up on another world called Maylan, unique in that its reality is everyone has powers that humans only read about in comic books… Now, the Pralmistians are able to transport their armies to other dimensions and have invaded looking for Tina and to bring Maylan under their control. But there is a prophecy that when a woman from an unknown world appears, her abductors will invade. They must bring the Chosen One, the woman’s one true love, to Maylan… Facing overwhelming odds, Jim, Tina, and the Maylan Warriors must go on a journey to find the four Sacreida Stones to form the Sacreida Sword, the one weapon on Maylan that can destroy the Pralmistians. Can a peaceful agrarian warrior society lead by a man with no military training bring an entire world together and lead them against the Pralmistians, whose army has completely conquered their entire universe?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel has provided generations of leaders to the state and nation. From its original purpose of providing an education to young men of South Carolina who would perform military duties for the state, it has evolved into an institution of national stature, highly regarded for both its academic reputation and its disciplined environment. Graduates of The Citadel have fought in every United States war since the Mexican War in 1846. Cadets have also achieved prominence in other fields, such as serving in leadership roles in state and national government, education, the professions, and business. With the help of over 200 black-and-white photographs, this work explores the development of The Citadel over the past 160 years, and included are sketches of its visionary founders, faculty members, and leaders. Descriptive vignettes highlight the success of the alumni and give insight into the experiences of the most important element of The Citadel: the South Carolina Corps of Cadets.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Labyrinth-"a rich brew of supernaturalism and intrigue."(Kirkus Reviews) In 1891, young Léonie Vernier and her brother arrive at the home of their widowed aunt in Rennes-le-Bains, in southwest France. But nothing is as Léonie had imagined. Their aunt is young, willowy, and beautiful, and the estate is a subject of local superstition. Villagers claim that Léonie's late uncle died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre on its grounds... More than a century later, Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in Rennes-le- Bains while researching the life of Claude Debussy. Haunted by a Tarot reading she had in Paris-and possessing the mysterious deck of cards-she checks into a grand old hotel built on the site of a famous mountain estate destroyed by fire in 1896. There, the pack of Tarot cards and a piece of 19th-century music known as Sepulchre 1891 hold the key to her fate-just as they did to the fate of Léonie Vernier.

Book excerpt: "In Pat Conroy's iconic 1980 novel The Lords of Discipline, protagonist Will McLean vows to write the history of his military college. Conroy's classmate John Warley, '67, has deftly achieved that in his modern history of The Citadel. Interwoven with the remembrances of alumni, faculty and college and community leaders, Warley's narrative account is an enlightening chronicle of change over time-a microcosm of our larger American experience-as told from the vantage point of one who wears the ring."--Jonathan Haupt, executive director, Pat Conroy Literary Center On March 20, 1843, twenty young men from South Carolina assembled on Marion Square in Charleston to begin the educational experiment called The Citadel. In 2018, over 2300 cadets from all over the world, of varied race and gender, gathered to celebrate 175 years of tradition and excellence. This book explores that journey.

Book excerpt: Combining the rugged action of Labyrinth with the haunting mystery of Sepulchre, #1 bestselling author Kate Mosse’s eagerly awaited Citadel is a mesmerizing World War II story of daring and courage, in which a group of determined women fighting for the French Resistance risk their lives to save their homeland . . . and protect astonishing secrets buried in time. France, 1942. In Carcassonne, a colorful historic village nestled deep in the Pyrenees, a group of courageous women are engaged in a lethal battle. Like their ancestors who fought to protect their land from Northern invaders seven hundred years before, these members of the resistance—codenamed Citadel—fight to liberate their home from the Nazis. But smuggling refugees over the mountains into neutral territory and sabotaging their German occupiers at every opportunity is only part of their mission. These women must also protect an ancient secret that, if discovered by their ruthless enemies, could change the course of history. A superb blend of rugged action and haunting mystery, Citadel is a vivid and richly atmospheric story of love, faith, heroism, and danger—and a group of extraordinary women who dare the impossible to survive.
