Griffin's Destiny concludes the epic tale of love's triumph over evil begun in Griffin's Daughter and continued in Griffin's Shadow. Jelena has found acceptance and love among the elves, but war, a sweeping pestilence, and the death of her beloved leave her desolate. Unaware Ashinji still lives, she seeks comfort in the arms of a young soldier determined to marry her. Knowing Jelena's life is in peril, Ashinji continues his desperate trek homeward.

She labors as a servant in the household of her uncle, the powerful Duke of Amsara.

Photographer/painters Ted Meyer and Anna Stump love tattooed bodies. "Exploding Tattoo" is an exciting new art book that catalogs their on-going project, and celebrates men and women with tattoos as the "New Art Collectors," who collect for their bodies rather than their walls. Meyer and Stump choose models with large-scale tattoos of various genres, from traditional to pop-inspired. The tattoo imagery is enlarged and painted on photo-backdrop paper and the model poses in front of the work. Each model inspires and influences how the backdrops are painted, resulting in stunning and colorful portraits. If you love tattoos, this book is one-of-a-kind. Includes an essay on the history of tattooing by Dr. Teri Sowell.

The history of the Wild West for too many years, has been considered the exclusive domain of the men and women who inhabited the South-western states of Kansas, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming. Canada had her share of men and women, good and bad, who opened the west for exploration and exploitation. Many famous gunfighters, outlaws, gamblers and lawmen of the Wild West were Canadian. This book exhibits the differences between Canadian settlers and their American counterparts. It shows how the law was enforced in the west even though lawmen were few in number. It touches on the naivete of some settlers and the lack of judgement shown by some leaders. It also seeks to show the injustice that was done to the native people who neither knew nor understood the white man's law.

Every culture and every nation has legends. Early cultures used them to explain the things in life they could not understand -- why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why the moon has phases, or why some years are better than others. The Indians of North America were no different. This book tells the Indian legends behind many of nature's wonders. Among the 23 tales told, you will discover how rivers were formed, how the raven freed the people and why rabbits hop -- at least according to legend. This book is for an audience of all ages, but is written in simple yet informative text that will be especially enjoyed by children.
