Alexander Hunt holds onto two secrets: both could ruin his life, but one could end it. The sudden move from Calgary, Alberta to the outskirts of Jasper during his senior year leaves Alex isolated in a cabin with bickering parents. He copes by taking daily hikes along the shores of Maligne Lake until he meets a young man named Amulii. He’s huge, unkempt, and speaks broken English, but there’s something else uncanny about him Alex can’t quite place. What starts as a frightening first encounter escalates the moment Amulii gives Alex a strange gift and reveals there’s something much wilder about him than meets the eye. Unbeknownst to Alex, this sets off a series of devastating events that sends both of them fleeing from an aggressive, well-armed militia in the forest. As Amulii and Alex escape into the mountains, their bond strengthens as they learn from one another, and what was once distrust evolves into something much deeper. Despite that, there are only two questions burning Alex’s waking thoughts as they traverse the harsh wilds of western Alberta, waiting for salvation: will he be caught and killed, or will he lose the rest of his humanity to Amulii’s mistake?

Book Description
From New York Times columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni comes “a book about vision loss that becomes testimony to human courage, a moving memoir that offers perspective, comfort, and hope” (Booklist, starred review). One morning in late 2017, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blurred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience. Overnight, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves, rendering him functionally blind in that eye—forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye, too. He could lose his sight altogether. In this “moving and inspiring” (The Washington Post) memoir, Bruni beautifully recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to, and gathering wisdom from, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions. The result is a poignant, probing, and ultimately “a positive message, a powerful reminder that with great vulnerability also comes great reward” (Oprah Winfrey). Bruni’s world blurred in one sense, as he experienced his first real inklings that the day isn’t forever and that light inexorably fades, but sharpened in another. Confronting unexpected hardship, he felt more blessed than ever before. The Beauty of Dusk is “a wonderful book. Honest. Poetic. Uplifting.” (Lesley Stahl).

Book Description
Twin brothers Borrial and Vistyral find themselves in conflict. The elder brother, Borrial, who is heir to the throne of Karrondor, has determined to conquer and enslave the known world. His younger twin brother by three minutes, Vistyral, is determined to keep peace in the world. Only Vistyral has the knowledge and capability to thwart Borrial's plans, but his futile hope that his brother will be satisfied ruling the largest kingdom in the world may keep Vistyral from moving against his brother until it is too late for anyone to stop him. Vistyral is in love with Mirtar, who is betrothed to Borrial. But Borrial does not want Mirtar; rather, he desires to marry Lymar, who is the princess of Fulsimter. Before releasing Mirtar from her betrothal, however, Borrial tries to rape Mirtar to leave a scar on her marriage with Vistyral. Every time Vistyral comes to her, she will see and feel Borrial attacking her. Fortunately, Vistyral is able to stop the assault. Mirtar forces Borrial to release her from the betrothal and offer independence to the duchy of Cryarlac, making Vistyral a king in his own right. There are several attempts on Vistyral's life. A series of events kills all of Lymar's family, making her the only living heir. Vistyral marries Mirtar and tells her that in spite of his deep love for her, he will remain publicly aloof to protect her from Borrial, who thinks all Vistyral wants from her is the kingdom of Artermador. Borrial marries shortly after Vistyral, and his father, Lamercal, soon abdicates the throne. Borrial then consolidates Artermador and Fulsimter into one country called Nordlund, giving him the largest army and the largest navy in the world. Having created a network of assassins Borrial sends several of them to kill Mirtar's parents, the king and queen of Artermador; Mirtar and Vistyral, the king and queen of Cryarlac; and the king of Westonisia, whom Borrial has framed for the death of Lymar's brother, the then king of Fulsimter. Vistyral calls a meeting of the council of the kings to ratify the combination of Cryarlac and Artermador into a new country called Surdlund.

Book Description
On April 22, 2004, Lieutenant David Uthlaut received orders from Khost, Afghanistan, that his platoon was to leave the town of Magarah and "have boots on the ground before dark" in Manah, a small village on the border of Pakistan. It was an order the young lieutenant protested vehemently, but the commanders at the Tactical Command Center disregarded his objections. Uthlaut split his platoon into two serials, with serial one traveling northwest to Manah and serial two towing a broken Humvee north toward the Khost highway. By nightfall, Uthlaut and his radio operator were seriously wounded, and an Afghan militia soldier and a U.S. soldier were dead. The American soldier was Pat Tillman. The Tillman family was originally informed that Pat, who had given up a professional football career to serve his country, had been shot in the head while getting out of a vehicle. At his memorial service twelve days later, they were told that he was killed while running up a hill in pursuit of the enemy. He was awarded a Silver Star for his courageous actions. A month and two days after his death, the family learned that Pat had been shot three times in the head by his own troops in a "friendly fire" incident. Seven months after Pat's death, the Tillmans requested an investigation. Boots on the Ground by Dusk is a chronicle of their efforts to ascertain the true circumstances of Pat's death and the reasons why the Army gave the family and the public a false story. Woven into the account are valuable and respectful memories of Pat Tillman as a son, brother, husband, friend, and teammate, in the hope that the reader will better comprehend what is really lost when our sons and daughters are killed or maimed in war. In the course of three and a half years, there have been six investigations, several inquiries, and two Congressional hearings. The Tillmans are still awaiting an outcome.
