A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!
To mark the thousandth year of peace in the Empire of Concordia, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage. Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique magical ability known as a Blessing.
Except one: Ganymedes Piscero.
When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people, odds of survival are slim. But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be and unmask the killer before he ends up the next victim of their bloody crusade.

The Kingdom (2007)
When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol, and with the clock ticking on their five days, the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Police Captain Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist, hell bent on further destruction.
Jarhead (2006)
An adaptation of former Marine Anthony Swofford's Gulf War memoir. Young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) joins up with the US Marines (nicknamed 'Jarheads' because of their distinctive haircuts) on the eve of the 1990 Gulf War. After a brutal spell in boot camp, during which Swofford and his fellow recruits are systematically geared up for the conflict, the Marines are dispatched to the deserts of the Persian Gulf to take part in a war that sees them required to do very little in the way of fighting. Bored and frustrated in the middle of nowhere, the young soldiers resort to a macabre sense of humour as they wait for the war to happen to them.

Rethink your teaching practice with six mindset shifts that will
transform how you approach the job, ensuring that you can sustain
your energy and effectiveness while empowering and supporting
learners.Traditional approaches to the practice of teaching are
unsustainable. Too many educators are disengaging, burning out, and
leaving the profession in response to stressors both inside and
outside of schools. And high teacher turnover has a negative effect
on our students. In Make Teaching Sustainable, Paul Emerich France
explores six mindset shifts that you can implement to improve your
educational environment—while also supporting and empowering the
students you lead: * Humanity over industry * Collectivism over
individualism * Empowerment over control * Minimalism over
maximalism * Process over product * Flexibility over fixedness The
goal of sustainable teaching is not simply to have teachers do less
work, but also to help focus efforts on effective, efficient, and
meaningful practices that make learning richer for students. Guided
by recent research and interviews with practitioners in the field,
France explores how mindset and practice shifts interact with
themes of healing, regeneration, vulnerability, partnership,
ritual, and simplicity. He also outlines tangible benefits to
sustainable teaching, from a reduction in burnout to an increase in
student engagement with learning. Whether you're a teacher, coach,
or administrator, Make Teaching Sustainable will inspire you to
embark on a practicable, action-oriented path to sustainability,
ensuring that you can continue to be nurtured, supported, and
effective in the profession that you love.
