The Alpha King's Broken Mate

Most wolves have a second heartbeat. Mine is a cemetery. He didn't just reject me. He left me to rot. In the brutal, mist-shrouded Evershade Highlands, rank is determined by the glow in your eyes, and a "broken" mate is a death sentence. The Alpha King’s Broken Mate is a gritty, high-stakes paranormal romance where fated bonds turn into lethal curses, and the line between love and betrayal is written in blood and bone. Elara Vance is the "Void-Bride"—an omega who has never shifted and whose eyes remain dull and lifeless. When Alpha King Silas Vane publicly rejects her to save his throne from a dark prophecy, he thinks he’s cutting away a weakness. He’s wrong. Elara isn’t a broken shifter; she is the last vessel of a forbidden Ossuary Magic. She doesn't run with the pack—she commands the skeletons of the earth. But a rejected bond doesn't just vanish. It rots. Now, the "Rotting Bond" is physically destroying the King, stripping him of his power while an ancient deity rises to reclaim the world. To save his people, Silas must find the woman he exiled to the lawless Deadwood. But the girl he discarded is gone. In her place stands the Bone Queen, and she has no reason to save a kingdom that wanted her dead. The stakes are absolute: The King is losing his wolf. The God of the Maw is waking. And the only way to stop the carnage is to mend a bond that has already turned to poison. Experience a dark romantasy filled with bone-chilling magic, visceral angst, and a "zero-to-god" power arc. If you crave a hero who has to crawl through broken glass to earn his redemption and a heroine who finds her crown in the dirt, this is your next obsession. Vengeance is a song only the dead can sing. One-click to start the binge today!

Handbook of Industrial Diamonds

Every year, the world consumes more than 10,000 tons of diamond superabrasives, which are indispensable for fields such as construction, metals, ceramics, automobiles, semiconductors, computers, and cellular phones. In fact, the per capita consumption of superabrasives may be used as an indicator of a country's industrial activities. This volume presents several aspects of superhard materials, especially diamond superabrasives and their manufacture, properties, and applications, and introduces several new designs of ultrahard materials that may be harder than diamond. It discusses diamond’s connection with the origin of life, in particular, the origin of the first RNA. In addition, it throws light on the concept of diamond quantum computers with neutrons of the carbon-13 isotope as quantum bits. This innovation may maintain quantum coherence with minimal interference without using complicated cryogenic cooling. Hence, it can be a robust design for future quantum computers. For those interested in the depth of the quantum mechanical world, a chapter elaborates the history of life and humanity in light of the evolution of quantum universes.
