Amid life's chaos, the most profound discoveries often lie hidden. "The Gift" is more than a tale of a brain haemorrhage and the path to recovery. It is an exploration of resilience, humility, perseverance, surrender, determination, courage, acceptance, forgiveness, and grace.Enter the author, Simon Kent, a fit, healthy, family man whose life was a whirlwind of ambition and dreams. Yet, with a sudden brain haemorrhage, the stage was silenced, and a new journey began, one marked by unexpected challenges and resilience."The Gift" is not just a story of overcoming adversity; it's a deep dive into resilience. Through the author's journey, we witness the power of determination, the will to rise from the depths of despair, and the belief that healing is possible even in the face of daunting odds.Beneath it all, "The Gift" is about surrender. It's about letting go of control and embracing the unpredictability of life. In the face of relentless challenges, our hero finds strength in surrendering to the present moment, learning that courage often lies in acceptance.As the story unfolds, forgiveness and grace come to the forefront. It is a testament to the human heart's capacity to forgive, release resentment, and find peace amidst adversity. "The Gift" asks us to shift our perspective-a reminder that life's most precious moments often occur in moments of reflection. The rapid pace of modern life often blinds us to the beauty of simplicity, and it's only when we're forced to slow down that we truly see the world anew.Most intriguingly, this narrative delves into the spiritual realm-a profound awakening, or perhaps a reawakening, as the author explores how the Law of Attraction played a role in their recovery and transformation. They discover that thoughts and intentions have the power to shape reality, illuminating their path to healing and renewal.But above all, "The Gift" is a repository of lessons. It teaches us that resilience can be our guiding light in the darkest of times, that surrender is not defeat but a path to inner peace, that forgiveness and grace can heal wounds we thought were incurable, and that a shift in perspective can lead to profound happiness.Ultimately, this is a story of transformation-from a life driven by ambition to one enriched by profound meaning. It reminds us that even in the face of the unexpected, beauty can be found, and the journey, no matter how arduous, is a priceless gift."The Gift" is a moving and uplifting tale that will resonate deeply with anyone who has confronted adversity and emerged profoundly changed. It is an invitation to embrace life's challenges as potential gifts and to uncover the profound beauty that can emerge when we pause, reflect, and rediscover ourselves.

"In a world almost entirely stripped of color, the rare scraps of pigment that remain hold tantalizing power. A secretive cult known as the Order would use that power to see color returned to the world through the advent of their chromatic god...but the birth of a god requires bloody sacrifice. An eldritch creature rises, bathing a grey city in angry red. Avidia stands alone against a monster born from his best friend's death!"--

"In a world where all humanity has mutated into strange new forms, Chie is the odd one out. She looks exactly like the humans of ages past. It's because she's an android--but who made her, and why? The answers to those questions might finally be in her grasp, hidden somewhere in the deserted city of Chuudoh. But the Order still has plans for Chie and Avidia, as they prepare another offering, this time to create a deity of cold and bitter blue..."--From publisher's description

A cosmic disaster changed the Earth forever, stripping away every last drop of color from the world. Mankind also changed: the familiar human face is almost forgotten in a world now populated wholly by mutants. Against the backdrop of a moody urban landscape, a lone wolf investigator named Avidia relies on both his wits and extraordinary gun to hunt down the world's last hidden scraps of color. He soon crosses paths with a very special girl--one who just might hold the key to bringing back what the world has lost.

"THE ADVENT OF THE DIVINE CHROMA. A cosmic disaster erased almost all color from the world, and now the mutated descendants of humanity live in a moody, noir cityscape draped with shades of grey. There is great power hidden in what little color remains, and a secretive cult known as the Order hopes to use that power to awaken their mysterious gods. Standing against them is Avidia, a gun-toting investigator and scientist who works outside the law. If he's to prevail, he'll need more power-which means surviving an incredibly dangerous new experiment, even as the Order moves ahead with the consummation of all their schemes!"--Back cover.

What little color remains now holds a strange and seductive power. Some people, like the lone-wolf professor Avidia, try and understand it. Others, including the cult-like Iodopsy Order, use it for power and control. When an Order assassin draws innocent bystanders into their rivalry, it'll take everything Avidia has to save their lives...and his own!" --provided by publisher.
