Trapped Between Two Worlds


Book Description

In the celestial realm, a fierce battle erupted between the seventh and fifth heavens, shattering the tranquility among angelic beings. At the center of this cosmic conflict stood Raphael, a formidable angel known as "The Shining One Who Heals," chosen to be a messenger of truth and protector of the Tree of Life. However, fate had other plans for him. Cast out from the seventh heavens, Raphael plummeted to Earth, stripped of his wings and immortality. Now a mortal angel, he must confront his deepest fears and embrace his newfound vulnerability. A chance encounter leads him to Lilith, a charismatic outcast from the fifth heavens whose powers were stolen by pagan gods. Bound by their shared exile and enmity with fiery serpent angels, Raphael and Lilith discover an unexpected kinship. United by their common struggle, they embark on a journey through ancient utopias like Atlantis, Ancient Crete, and Egypt-each adorned with breathtaking architecture and advanced water management systems. Navigating a world of hidden prophecies and divine intervention, Raphael and Lilith become entwined in a greater cosmic plan. A prophetic vision intertwines their destinies as they decipher its meaning to confront the darkness threatening both earthly and heavenly realms. In this world governed by forces from the fifth heavens, someone had to pay the price. The enigmatic outer gods orchestrated a malicious game designed to sow suffering and division.

Enjoying deep bonds and financial rewards from the fifth heavens, the superior class flourished despite their hardship. Trapped Between Two Worlds: The Angel Without Wings is an enthralling tale of redemption, resilience, and the unyielding power of love. Join Raphael and Lilith as they rise above their pasts to unite against forces aiming to destroy them and restore harmony in heaven and on Earth. Will they fulfill their roles as healers and guardians or be consumed by chaos? The fate of both worlds hangs in the balance as they undertake a quest redefining the very essence of angels and celestial order. In ancient Egyptian history, this period fashioned the Eighteenth Dynasty. With influences from Crete's Minoans and the Israelites, the empire underwent revitalization during the New Kingdom era and introduced remarkable personalities. The era of the Eighteenth Dynasty, part of the New Kingdom, is considered to have produced some of the greatest rulers who reunified Egypt under native rule. The epidemic brought Egypt, the most powerful nation in the world during this era, to its knees. Some of the most extraordinary characters appeared in the New Kingdom on the African coast and throughout the Nile Delta. There was the radical Akhenaten and his mysterious wife, Queen Nefertiti, who captivated the heart of the empire with charisma and beauty, to his son, one of the most famous pharaohs, King Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut. There was also Prince Moses, born of Israelite blood but raised as an Egyptian, who followed a path to worship his one and only God at a time when polytheistic deities overran the nation. His complexion was dark, resembling the Egyptians, due to living in the dry heat of the Mediterranean.




Between Two Worlds


Book Description

Zainab Salbi was eleven years old when her father was chosen to be Saddam Hussein's personal pilot and her family's life was grafted onto his. Her mother, the beautiful Alia, taught her daughter the skills she needed to survive. A plastic smile. Saying yes. Burying in boxes in her mind the horrors she glimpsed around her. "Learn to erase your memories," she instructed. "He can read eyes." In this richly visual memoir, Salbi describes tyranny as she saw it - through the eyes of a privileged child, a rebellious teenager, a violated wife, and ultimately a public figure fighting to overcome the skill that once kept her alive: silence. Between Two Worlds is a riveting quest for truth that deepens our understanding of the universal themes of power, fear, sexual subjugation, and the question one generation asks the one before it: How could you have let this happen to us?
