Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash. Once, we'd worshipped them as Gods. For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I've spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame. Then, we died on their swords. All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There's no choice but to flee everything I've ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman. Now, they'll claim what's theirs. But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn't dare to want and a distraction I can't afford. I can't seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line. My heart.

"Transatlantic Stage Stars in Vaudeville and Variety "shows renowned actors showing rough fare in rough times. Celebrity will be seen changing, always, even to twisting its foremost exemplars in the wind.

Blood Ties Forever explores the church's need for reconciliation with the Jewish nation and encourages a rebirth of meaningful respect worldwide for different ethnic groups.

Dr. Royce Woods, senior pastor of Holy Trinity Worship Center International in Washington, D.C., introduces the truth and offers purpose and direction as he promotes the resurrection of the original Jerusalem Council, once removed forcibly by those who opposed it. Woods begins by detailing his own spiritual journey as the seventeenth of eighteen children who grew up on the streets of Washington, D.C. and transitions into a discussion about why, out of all the ethnic groups of the world, none have exemplified the idea of blood ties like the Nation of Israel-descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the primary targets of dark forces bent on destroying their bloodline. Woods includes applicable scripture as he encourages the removal of the center and head of the church in spirit and in practice from Rome back to the heart of Jerusalem.

Blood Ties Forever transports others on an amazing journey into the mind of God, ultimately illustrating that God's promises will indeed be a blessing to all people as His gift to the world.
