Fate's Long Shadow by Marcela Carbo Pdf

Her power was born of a giant's rage. She treads a treacherous path, where a whisper could mean her demise. Jassae's world shattered when giants ravaged her peaceful village. Instead of killing her, they thrust her into a cage as a precious captive, an unexpected jewel to control the Dark Goddess. The once-formidable giants are teetering on the brink, their age-old might slowly but surely fading away. In Jassae, a priestess dedicated to a goddess who inspires more dread than reverence, they see a glimmer of hope for survival. During a night cloaked in darkness and studded with stars, Jassae reads the bone runes, conduits of ancient wisdom. As she holds the bleached fragments in her hands, a prophecy unfolds, foretelling the rise of a mighty chieftain. The giants believe she holds the key to securing the coveted chieftain's throne. The storm clouds of war gather, stirred by the revival of old grudges. Jassae's survival depends on her ability to harness the power growing within her, a force capable of devouring her mind and soul. If she can leverage her gift to install her chosen master on the throne, she may reach her first century and achieve her destiny as a priestess of the Dark Goddess. Yet, the path she walks is fraught with danger, and a misstep carries a terrible price: annihilation... and the end of her sorcerous bloodline. Fate's Long Shadow takes place in a dark setting and is intended for adult readers. Read it as a standalone or as part of a trilogy of interwoven stories.

Transforming Fate Into Destiny by Robert Ohotto Pdf

In this penetrating book, renowned intuitive, speaker, and teacher Robert Ohotto guides us on an investigation of the Heroic Journey of the Soul. Exploring three modern-day manifestations of Fate, he shows how psychic energy from family patterns, cultural influences, generational legacy, and global evolution inform our self-concept every day, and how they often block our highest potential and "Fate" us to challenging circumstances and relationships. But, he reveals, these Fated encounters are actually the keys to our unlived life. Each chapter maps our psyche and unravels the mysterious connections of Fate, Free Will, and Destiny, transforming our Fate into Destiny and our limitations into gifts. Through this seminal work based on years of experience, discover how we’ve made two fundamental agreements with the Universe as part of our Heroic Journey—one with Fate and the other with Destiny. As we learn to dance with these two forces, they become two voices challenging and beckoning us to discover our ultimate purpose—the primary task of the modern-day Hero and Heroine; and in the process, serve to unleash the power of our Soul in delivering grace to the world.

Fates and Traitors by Jennifer Chiaverini Pdf

The New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker returns with a riveting work of historical fiction following the notorious John Wilkes Booth and the four women who kept his perilous confidence. John Wilkes Booth, the mercurial son of an acclaimed British stage actor and a Covent Garden flower girl, committed one of the most notorious acts in American history—the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The subject of more than a century of scholarship, speculation, and even obsession, Booth is often portrayed as a shadowy figure, a violent loner whose single murderous act made him the most hated man in America. Lost to history until now is the story of the four women whom he loved and who loved him in return: Mary Ann, the steadfast matriarch of the Booth family; Asia, his loyal sister and confidante; Lucy Lambert Hale, the senator’s daughter who adored Booth yet tragically misunderstood the intensity of his wrath; and Mary Surratt, the Confederate widow entrusted with the secrets of his vengeful plot. Fates and Traitors brings to life pivotal actors—some willing, others unwitting—who made an indelible mark on the history of our nation. Chiaverini portrays not just a soul in turmoil but a country at the precipice of immense change.

Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives by Stephen F. Cohen Pdf

In this wide-ranging and acclaimed book, Stephen F. Cohen challenges conventional wisdom about the course of Soviet and post-Soviet history. Reexamining leaders from Nikolai Bukharin, Stalin's preeminent opponent, and Nikita Khrushchev to Mikhail Gorbachev and his rival Yegor Ligachev, Cohen shows that their defeated policies were viable alternatives and that their tragic personal fates shaped the Soviet Union and Russia today. Cohen's ramifying arguments include that Stalinism was not the predetermined outcome of the Communist Revolution; that the Soviet Union was reformable and its breakup avoidable; and that the opportunity for a real post-Cold War relationship with Russia was squandered in Washington, not in Moscow. This is revisionist history at its best, compelling readers to rethink fateful events of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and the possibilities ahead. In his new epilogue, Cohen expands his analysis of U.S. policy toward post-Soviet Russia, tracing its development in the Clinton and Obama administrations and pointing to its initiation of a "new Cold War" that, he implies, has led to a fateful confrontation over Ukraine.
