With five of the Orbs of Peace still at large and threatening the world’s survival, Cinder and Anya set forth to acquire them by any means. But their efforts—be it through simple ruses, espionage, or even war—are doomed if they cannot first shatter the falsehoods that warp their very memories.
Are they the Blessed Ones of prophecy or simply broken avatars? It is a question without an easy answer, hindered as it is by deceptions that aren’t so easily overcome.

Inside Out & Back Again
My wife suggested I give this sweet, lovely book a try. It's different from anything that I usually read since it is essentially a story written in blank verse. I read it over a period of a week - five minutes here, 10 minutes there. The book is an quick, easy read,...

Winters in NC tend to be short and mild, and this year was no exception. We got a few cold spells and some snow, but overall, it's been pretty nice. It's certainly a lot better than where I grew up in Cincinnati, OH, where they've been stuck in some polar vortex for...
