Lady Apprentice
Her homeland under siege. A dark sorcerer hot on her trail. All the prophecies say Linden can stop him. Who are they kidding? Linden is the worst mage apprentice at her school. Her latest disaster: accidentally destroying her classroom when a small hooded figure pops up inside the fireball she's just conjured. Linden is sent to the headmaster's office to be formally expelled, when she is saved by the bell-quite literally. Someone is frantically ringing the bell inside the watchtower overlooking the western frontier. Soon, all the bells in town, from the government buildings to the chapels and private residences, are ringing out the same warning code. Raiders are coming, in broad daylight, wearing the uniforms of the enemy army. In the days following the raid, rumors begin to fly about the invading commander, with dark powers and an even darker mission. And for some reason Linden has yet to fathom, he's taken a personal interest in her and her unruly magic.
The Lady and the Poet
Save me, oh, save me, I'm all out of dreams, Walking through Heaven's zone on 25th Street. Cars are the fashion parading under neon lights; Faces through tinted glass tell their stories of life. You stare, you frown and swear, and I smile back at you. Billions of stars will fall before the night is through. South of Main and Hollywood is 25th Street. Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach; You can soar for days and days because the magic is good. Feel the fire in our veins, we're the joke of the neighborhood. I search to find a place to bury my head Deep within my thoughts on the night edge. Lovers sending messages through crystal eyes, Passing the sights unknown we want to ask. Give me another shot of that whiskey, man, Fill up my dreamer's glass with my only friend. South of Main and Hollywood is 25th Street. Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach. You can soar for days because the magic is good. Feel the fire in our veins; we're the joke of the neighborhood.
The Curate's Awakening, The Lady's Confession & The Baron's Apprenticeship (Complete Trilogy)
In the complete trilogy of "The Curate's Awakening, The Lady's Confession & The Baron's Apprenticeship," George MacDonald employs rich, evocative language and intricate narrative structures to explore themes of moral awakening, love, and the transformative power of faith. Through the intertwining stories of a curate's spiritual journey, a lady's quest for redemption, and a baron's struggle for personal growth, MacDonald crafts a tapestry that reflects the Victorian preoccupation with individual conscience and societal expectation. Each character's evolution is presented within a philosophical framework that galvanizes the reader's introspection, making the prose both lyrical and didactic, laden with allegorical significance. George MacDonald, a pioneer of the fantasy genre and a key influence on later writers such as C.S. Lewis, was deeply rooted in the Christian faith and humanistic values. His personal experiences with poverty, loss, and the complexities of personal belief galvanized his exploration of human nature and divine intention. MacDonald'Äôs intimate understanding of spiritual and existential dilemmas pervades his writing, inviting readers to confront their own moral landscapes. This trilogy is a must-read for those who appreciate layered narratives that challenge both intellect and spirit. Readers will find in MacDonald'Äôs work not just profound inquiry into faith and transformation, but also an engaging, timeless exploration of the human condition that resonates deeply in today's ethical discourse.
