Angus MacDonald’s trials continue as threats to Earth approach the breaking point and danger mounts.
He stands alone, chosen by the universe for a great destiny. Prepared by the ancient gods of Greece, he continues the brutal fight against unworldly deities.

The truth is it isn’t only Hades, as mentioned by the Gods of mythology, but many.
When he recalled the Olympian’s instructions on the blood-soaked Culloden Battlefield in Scotland, they were clear. This vicious invasion, though, and the threat to human survival are beyond his imaginings.
Reeling under this fate, can he hold his sanity and survive?
New weapons provide hope, but better. Angus arms himself with love from Jessica, his teammate, and his family. Love is stronger than any weapon, the universe told him, so he fights with passion. Then tragedy strikes.

The heart knows what the mind cannot see

About The heart knows what the mind cannot see

This is a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of spirituality and perception. The text functions as a guide to self-improvement, with a mixture of autobiographical elements and snippets of universal wisdom. The speaker provides accessible solutions to life’s difficulties, and an outlook of optimism applicable to any circumstance. The illustrations and graphics are thoughtfully chosen, and the interactive textual elements give this work an originality that sets it apart. The speaker’s own experiences and conclusions are at the heart of this fiction, and the first person narrative voice creates a sense of proximity between author and reader. The text describes itself as ‘a journey to the heart’, and this truthful discovery of the self is reflected in the speaker’s revelation of his whole self through the text. The narrative often presents a dichotomy between positive and negative outlooks or voices.
For example, the speaker includes sections in which his self-doubt speaks, ‘you’ve got no proper education, you can’t spell properly, you’re dyslexic and your grammar is crap. You’re not really a writer’. This negative voice directly opposes the sense of self-belief the speaker builds within the narrative. He uses examples such as this to remind readers that the journey to happiness is complex and that flaws or setbacks are natural. The negative separation or fragmentation of the self is prevalent in the lines, ‘I do not love the grumpy me, the sad me, the hostile me, the parts of me that act as if I do not care’. The act of writing represents a unification of the self and an attempt to reframe the speaker’s life into coherence. The frequent use of direct address and rhetorical questions promotes an active reading experience, in which the author opens up a dialogue with the reader. The text includes prompts and activities for the reader to engage with and learn from. Encouraging readers to take part in the text is emblematic of their journey to self-fulfilment and love, in which they must take responsibility for actively creating their own happiness.
The speaker depicts his process of enlightenment as a framework for others to emulate, and the format of the text demonstrates the transfer of agency to those who take part in the speaker’s challenges at the end of each chapter. This work ultimately teaches us that ‘we are the cause of what is’ and thus sheds light on the crucial idea that every individual has the power to create themselves and their world positively.

Timbuktu: A Captivating Guide to an Important Ancient City and How It Became a Part of the Wealthy Mali Empire during the Reign of Mansa Musa by Captivating History

About Timbuktu: A Captivating Guide to an Important Ancient City and How It Became a Part of the Wealthy Mali Empire during the Reign of Mansa Musa by Captivating History

Whether we realize it or not, stories and characters from Timbuktu are everywhere in our modern-day lives.

The great Mansa Musa was the most iconic king of the Mali Empire. Considered to be one of the richest men ever, Mansa Musa is not only the right answer to a commonly asked trivia question but also one of the inspirations behind Marvel’s Black Panther. Although the other kings who reigned over Timbuktu may not be known quite as well as Mansa Musa, their lives have also inspired stories we are quite familiar with today.

Likely the second most well-known character in Timbuktu’s history is Mansa Sundiata, and although you may not know him by name, you may recognize his nickname: the Lion King. Many people throughout the years believe he may have served as an inspiration for Disney’s iconic movie.

Timbuktu was once a conglomerate of trade, education, arts, and religion, attracting settlers and visitors from all over the world, similar to the massive cities of today. So, how did a city that could be titled the New York City or London of its time become synonymous with the middle of nowhere?

Learn about Timbuktu’s various leaders, the people’s struggle to regain power, and why such a great city is now almost in ruins.

In this book, you will learn about:
• The foundation of Timbuktu and some believed translations of its name
• The life of the Tuaregs, the original people of Timbuktu
• The creation of the Mali Empire and its acquisition of Timbuktu
• The various mansas of the Mali Empire, including the great Mansa Musa
• The collapse of the Mali Empire
• The creation and early stages of the Songhai Empire
• The various kings of the Songhai Empire who transformed Timbuktu
• The collapse of the Songhai Empire and Morocco’s occupation in Timbuktu
• The early Tuareg rebellions and the transfer of power in Timbuktu between the various groups still inhabiting the city during the Moroccan occupation
• The French acquisition of Morocco and Timbuktu
• French Sudan’s (modern-day Mali’s) road to independence
• The creation of the Republic of Mali
• The modern-day struggles in Timbuktu between the Tuareg rebels and the terrorist occupations
• The current state of Timbuktu and what’s in store in its future

Gorgeous. Ruthless. Filthy rich.

My ex-husband Sam wasn’t always that way. In the beginning, he was just the son of my mom’s boss—strictly off-limits for a trailer park girl like me. I loved him beyond reason from the moment we met.

I saved Sam but broke my heart in the process.

Ten years later, my workday starts with a corporate takeover. My new boss? Yep, you guessed it. That gorgeous, ruthless, filthy rich ex-husband is bound and determined to dismantle my company. Piece by piece. Job by job. He’s bent on revenge for my betrayal.

The problem? We can’t keep our hands off each other. He thinks he can break me. I think he’s about to learn a lesson.

This is an angsty, enemies-to-lovers, office romance with all the feels.
