Kali is born to an American mother with severe postpartum and a Greek father who tries to protect her. Her life is in danger from the day she's born and only gets worse with bigger and more menacing threats. With determination, hard work, and the help of an unlikely stranger, she creates an extraordinary career in law, an ocean away from where she was born. Unexpectedly, she falls in love. Passionate, all-consuming, can-destroy-you kind of love. Eric is the perfect man for her, he brings her happiness she never knew existed. He's also the worst man she could have fallen in love with. His secrets, combined with hers, are a dangerous combination. Now she's forced to deal with a whole new set of threats. Is Kali destined for love and happiness, or cursed to destruction? Can any of us re-write our fate or is everything decided the moment we're born? Children of the Dark - Are you one of them? Born under the wrong stars. Cursed to a lifetime of struggle and unhappiness. Some break free. Some don't. ... Kali is the mirror book to "Eric - Love vs Destiny" Part 1 in each book, their beginnings, are entirely separate. But in Parts 2 and 3, they have met and are a major part of each other's lives. Whoever you start with, Kali or Eric, you'll obviously know the ending, but there's so much more to understanding someone's soul that. And how often do we love a story we saw in a movie or show and run out and buy the book. We already know the ending, why read it? ...because we need more. This book is more. You get to understand them each from the beginning, you get a whole set of deleted scenes, several mirror images, see the other person's point of view on certain scenes... it's insight that we don't get to have in real life. When you read both books, you get a true sense of where relationships can go wrong in so many ways. It doesn't matter which you read first or if you only ever read just one of them, they're both complete stories on their own. ...What Inspired This Series... Destiny. Some people are born under the wrong stars and cursed to unhappiness no matter what they do. Ancients believe everything is written for us before we're even born. Modernists say we are our own creators with our thoughts and actions. Who's right? Do you believe we can control our destiny with our personal decisions? Is that an illusion and those decisions were all part of the master plan to begin with? There will never be a way to know for sure. Then there's Love. Can the bliss of being in love change a person's energy signature enough to defeat fate?

What is life without love and passion?" This series explores several Children of the Dark. Each book is a complete story beginning to end, so you don't have to read one part and wait for the next to come out.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, set to Schikaneder's libretto, brings to the forefront the Enlightenment models of light and darkness, good and evil. The traditional understanding of these concepts pits light against darkness, and good against evil. This thesis contends that Die Zauberflöte is a work which portrays a system that contains both good and evil, rather than one that depicts the clash of good against evil. The ancient Pythagorean Monad and Dyad explain this concept. The Monad, a single number, represented an indivisible principle said to belong to the Olympian Creator Gods, while the Dyad, a dual, divisible law, represented a principle which contained two opposing forces. This principle was the property of the demiurges, who, according to the ancients, rule the earth. The main purpose of the law of contrary forces is to enforce order, and it accomplishes this goal through a system of merit and demerit, rewards and punishments. In this paradigm, Sarastro and the Queen of the Night are symbols of Osiris and Isis, the Egyptian gods who formed a unified godhead operating by the law of opposing forces. Part of this godhead is also Typho, Monostatos in the opera, the representation of pure evil. The significance of ancient Egyptian mysticism is stressed in this study for a better understanding of the opera. To that end, three of the main sources for the libretto, the fables of Dschinnistan, Ignaz von Born's Über die Mysterien der Egyptiens, and Jean Terrasson's The Life of Sethos are explored. In addition, the writings of the Freemasons as well as eighteenth-century literature and philosophy are examined to ascertain the degree to which the system of contrary duality was relevant in Mozart's time.

Grief and loss can be difficult for adults to understand, let alone children, and when we are overwhelmed by it, it can be challenging to explain it to a child. 'Resting In The Winter Garden' can lend a helping hand in that process and hopefully provide some peace of mind for the child and for you as well. The idea for this book came to me in a dream after losing my Grandmother. In the dream I was walking through a rose garden and came to a bed under the stars, dressed in white, and resting on that bed was my Grandmother. That dream filled me with a sense of peace. Her favourite season was Winter and her ashes were scattered in the "Winter Garden" at a cemetery, so that is where the title comes from.
