When Charmers begin falling beneath the thrall of a powerful spell, the Council devises a plan to find the two people in all the realm who might be able to save them: Kaori’s parents, long thought lost…but not, it seems, dead. As fate would have it, they’ve spent years trapped inside Galvanhold, a magical prison designed to incapacitate the worst of the worst—and once you enter Galvanhold, there’s no escape.

Time is running out; they need the knowledge Kaori’s parents hold, or all is lost. Willing to risk everything for the woman who showed him so much kindness, the assassin Calem volunteers to be sent away as a prisoner so he can get the information they need and break out again with the help of his unpredictable powers.

But once inside, Calem is unexpectedly faced with a familiar and terrifying figure: his mother, the prison’s cruel Warden. As Calem’s past threatens to consume him, Kaori and her friends must find a way to rescue him and complete their mission. But when their plan goes awry, the group unwittingly unleashes the Lost, a powerful magician who has been biding his time waiting for revenge. With chaos descending upon the realm, Kaori and her friends must confront their deepest fears and fight for their very survival. But even as Kaori and Calem find solace in each other’s arms, can their love survive the trials ahead?

THIS IS HOW WE END THINGS de R.J. Jacobs

Six students. One professor. All trained in the art of deception. All with a reason to kill…

THIS IS HOW WE END THINGS

It’s almost spring break in the university town of Forest, North Carolina. Campus is deserted and the temperature is dropping. Someone is watching and waiting. Someone who has killed before plans to kill again.

Under the direction of Professor Joe Lyons, five graduate students remain on campus. They have been conducting an experiment on the psychology of deception to uncover the science behind lies. But they each have something to hide themselves.

Then, a test goes awry, and an angry subject ends up in handcuffs. The group believes it to be a fluke incident. But when one of them is discovered murdered in Lyon’s office less than twenty-four hours later, they find that their studies may have deadly consequences–and that each of them had a reason to kill. With a local detective on the case and a major snowstorm moving in, the students soon realize that lies can be more dangerous than they ever believed. How do you spot a liar who may be an expert on the psychology of deception?

R.J. Jacobs has practiced as a psychologist since 2003. He maintains a private practice in Nashville, focusing on a wide variety of clinical concerns. After completing a post-doctoral residency at Vanderbilt, he has taught Abnormal Psychology, presented at numerous conferences, and routinely performs PTSD evaluations for veterans.

He is known as The Father of the Automobile, but she drove their success.

Bertha Benz not only invested her dowry in the invention of the world’s first motorized carriage, which she and her husband, Carl labored over for years; she’s also the chief designer, mechanic, and tester of the machine.

Now, however, with the moguls who promised to back the machine withdrawing their support, Carl is ready to throw in the towel. Bertha knows that to give up would not only bankrupt the Benz family, but that it would also ruin everything they’ve worked for and their marriage. Besides, Bertha believes in the machine.

Ignoring the cynics and the men who ridicule her, Bertha takes matters into her own hands, secretly planning a trip that will either hasten the couple’s passage to absolute derision and impoverishment or prove to the world their genius. What Bertha doesn’t know is that Carl is on the cusp of making a deal with their nemesis. She is not only risking her marriage and life’s work, but is also up against her husband’s doubt and duplicity, the bias of every man she knows— and the clock.
