From the award-winning Vellhor Saga comes Dragon Fire, a breathtaking, pulse-pounding epic where the battle between light and darkness approaches its fiery climax. A corrupted hero. A land on the brink. An ancient evil. Kemp, once a trusted friend, has become the vessel of the Dragon Crown’s dark power, his mind twisted by whispers of unimaginable destruction. As the shadow of the Crown spreads, the fate of Vellhor hangs by a thread. Gunnar, the indomitable dwarven warrior, faces an impossible choice: lead his people to safety or risk everything to confront the darkness head-on.

In this raw and unflinching memoir, a son reveals the devastating cost of seeking validation from a father who offered only criticism. From childhood memories of constant belittlement to the catastrophic financial decisions of adulthood, this deeply personal account exposes how parental words shape not just our self-perception but our life choices. When the author invests his life savings in a pharmacy business partly to impress his emotionally distant father, he embarks on a journey that will cost him over a million dollars, his retirement fund, and nearly his marriage.

In "If I'm the Temple of God, Why Are My Pillars Cracked?," pastor and author Mark Winter invites listeners on a candid, often humorous, and deeply personal journey through the cracks and broken places of life.

For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F--k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f--ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugar-coat or equivocate. He tells it like it is-a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today.
