a singular exceptional skill, which makes them extraordinarily
effective soldiers and a formidable crew.

Inside the land of Miradel lies the Kingdom of Petroset, where a
little boy tried to hide a horrible secret from everyone. Yet even
as Tyson endures an unjust nightmare in the king's court, he is
strangely comforted by the warm eyes of the king's daughter,
Annaliessa. Tyson realizes that he and the beautiful girl share
something in common- a father that never loved them.
More than a decade later, Miradel is a land steeped in a witch's
curse that binds Princess Annaliessa to five princes. Forced to
choose one to marry even though she is not in love with any of
them, Annaliessa knows she must produce an heir to the throne soon
or be forever bound to her father's violent tendencies. As all five
princes compete for her affection, Annaliessa secretly hopes for a
miracle that will carry her away forever. When an earthquake
strikes Petroset, Annaliessa thinks her wish is coming true as she
escapes in the arms of her hero, Tyson, who saves her from certain
death. Oblivious to what is happening around her, Annaliessa is
about to become trapped in revenge's web of lies and betrayal. Is
one man's love enough to save her from the scars revenge leaves
behind?
In this fantasy tale, temptation, sacrifice, and the power of
unconditional love fuel a journey of self-discovery for a young
woman who only wants one thing-true happiness.
Beyond our wildest imaginations, other worlds and dimensions
exist that are vastly different than ours. These worlds beyond both
fascinate and frighten us, but more importantly, they have the
potential to bring a great good we never could have envisioned.
In this intriguing collection of stories that explores the
ramifications of encounters with beings from the beyond, the
appearance of a bewildering and elusive visitor to an
eleven-year-old resident brings an unusual gift that turns his
entire town inside out. Two young siblings-whose parents have just
left them for a year with their callous aunt and uncle-soon
discover they have an angry ghost to contend with as well. As a
family moves into a strange house, they find the house a lot
stranger than they bargained for. When a boy finds his school
filled with the ghosts of fellow students and teachers, he is
mystified when he sees these same people still alive in the
flesh.
"From Beyond to Here" is a compilation of stories for young fans
of the supernatural sure to entertain and raise questions about
intriguing parallel worlds.

"That going to the seaside was the very beginning of everything, -
only it seemed as though it were going to be a beginning without an
end, like the roads on the Sussex downs which look like roads and
then look like paths, and then turn into sheep-tracks, and then are
just grass and furze bushes and tottergrass and harebells and
rabbits and chalk." "That going to the seaside was the very
beginning of everything, - only it seemed as though it were going
to be a beginning without an end, like the roads on the Sussex
downs which look like roads and then look like paths, and then turn
into sheep-tracks, and then are just grass and furze bushes and
tottergrass and harebells and rabbits and chalk." In Nesbit's 1913
novel, "Wet Magic," the children of the Desmond family -- Francis,
Mavis, Bernard and Kathleen -- are looking forward to a holiday by
the sea. They get more of an adventure than they had planned on,
though, when they accidentally summon a mermaid. And when that
mermaid is captured and put on display at a local circus, they
decide they must rescue her. As their reward, they are permitted to
visit the hidden kingdom of the mer-people, but find they must now
stop a war to save their new friends.
