"The war has begun. Both sides demand Diem's allegiance--or her death. After her disastrous coronation, Diem finds herself at the center of the conflict between the Descended and the Guardians. With her newfound friends and the man she's falling for on one side, and the mortals she has vowed to protect on the other, Diem must walk a careful line to save the people she loves... even from each other. The mystery of her unusual heritage begins to unravel, sending Diem and Luther on an unexpected journey across the realms. The answers may hold the key to winning the war, but finding them will require her to face painful truths about her mother, her bloodline, and her fate. Meanwhile, the Crowns have set Diem in their sights. Some could be her greatest allies--while others want her dead. To end their oppressive reign, Diem must sort friend from foe and risk it all to build an army of her own. But a powerful figure in the north has plans that could change everything..."--Provided by publisher.

I once thought one of my ruthless boys could be the killer I'm hunting. They're all dark, deadly and more than capable of brutality. But now I'm held by the King I've been stalking in the shadows and when I unmask him, he'll realise he made a huge mistake in taking my brother from this world. My Kings are coming for me, I know that in my soul. They're on their way to rip me from my enemy's arms and tear him apart for me. My heart beats to the sound of their names. But I won't wait around to be rescued. Everything has led me to this moment and I'm ready to destroy the Fae who stole my brother from me. Secrets will be uncovered. Destiny will be decided. Death will deliver us all in the end. No one will escape the conclusion of this story without blood on their hands. I guess it's a good thing I'm a Vampire then, because I just so happen to have a taste for blood.

This book offers a critique of common spiritual warfare practices including binding Satan, renouncing curses, spiritual mapping and exorcisms. Using Scripture, and Scripture alone, Pastor Jim Osman shows that true spiritual warfare is not a battle over territory, but a battle for the truth. The book is divided into four sections: Establishing Biblical Principles, Exposing Unbiblical Practices, Explaining Biblical Perspectives and Examining a Biblical Passage. A biblical approach to spiritual warfare recognizes the Bible as the sole authority, rejects unbiblical and man-made methods, and rests in Christ and His finished work for victory. Many in the modern spiritual warfare movement teach a methodology of spiritual warfare that is more akin to something you would find in a Harry Potter novel (renouncing curses and using prayer mantras to seize territory) than anything described in Scripture. Many of these practices reflect a theology built on anecdotes, experience, and interviews with demons rather than a sound exegesis of Scripture. Footnoted quotations of authors like Mark Bubeck, Neil T. Anderson, and others are compared against Scripture to show that modern spiritual warfare "experts" have abandoned the authority of Scripture and opted for man-made methods to wage spiritual battle. The chapters include a study of the three enemies that every Christian faces: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Pastor Osman answers from Scripture the questions: Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Is Christ's authority ours? and, What about exorcisms? One chapter includes a helpful discussion of the link between spiritual warfare and a believer's sanctification. The foreword is written by international conference speaker Justin Peters (justinpeters.org). You can see regular updates at truthorterritory.com.

Since the arrival of the 21st century, jazz has evolved into a truly cross-generational, multicultural musical art form that is assimilating an unprecedented array of musical styles and techniques. At the same time, the male-dominated paradigm that has defined the historical narrative of jazz is no more. Women are shaking up the music industry while the general public is becoming much more aware of the contributions female musicians have made to jazz. "Freedom of Expression: Interviews With Women in Jazz," a collection of interviews with 37 female musicians, musicians of all ages, nationalities, and races, and representing nearly every style of jazz one can imagine, provides evidence of this profound evolution. The interviewees, including Terri Lyne Carrington, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Eliane Elias, Carmen Lundy, Anat Cohen, Diane Schuur, and Sherrie Maricle, speak about their earliest experiences playing music, the years of practice required to become a professional musician, and what jazz means in the new millennium. These interviews will inform and inspire both casual and seasoned fans of this music, as well as young musicians taking their first steps in the journey to master their craft. "At long last, an in-depth recognition of the female contributions to jazz. As Dr. Billy Taylor said about the lack of awareness of female musicians: 'If it isn't written down, it didn't happen.' Now everyone will know that it did happen and continues to happen. What a great gift to the history of women and music." - Judy Chaikin, director of "The Girls in the Band."The interviewees: Mindi Abair - SaxophonesCheryl Bentyne - VoiceJane Ira Bloom - Soprano SaxophoneSamantha Boshnack - TrumpetDee Dee Bridgewater - VoiceTerri Lyne Carrington - DrumsSharel Cassity - SaxophonesAnat Cohen - Clarinet, SaxophonesJean Cook - ViolinConnie Crothers - PianoEliane Elias - Piano, VoiceAyelet Rose Gottlieb - VoiceLenae Harris- CelloVal Jeanty - Electronics, PercussionJan Leder - FluteJennifer Leitham - Double BassCarmen Lundy - VoiceSherrie Maricle - DrumsJane Monheit - VoiceJacqui Naylor - VoiceAurora Nealand - Saxophones, ClarinetIris Ornig - Double BassAlisha Pattillo - Tenor SaxophoneRoberta Piket - PianoCheryl Pyle - FluteNicole Rampersaud - TrumpetSofia Rei - VoicePatrizia Scascitelli - PianoDiane Schuur - VoiceEllen Seeling - TrumpetHelen Sung - PianoJacqui Sutton - VoiceMazz Swift - Violin, VoiceNioka Workman - CelloPamela York - PianoBrandee Younger - HarpMalika Zarra - Voice
