I want to go homeTo the days when you were thereWhen I had your voiceYour lightYour heartbeatWe all had that one love.The kind that came into our lives like an unexpected super typhoon.A love that, no matter how short-lived, left a devastation so profound in its wake. An emotion that cut so deep it would take forever to heal.A collection of heart-rending poetry by award-winning author Shirley Siaton, Never You and I unravels decades of buried feelings, a lifetime of words left unsaid, and countless moments of hidden sighs and unshed tears for a love that never was.

Mental health is an important part of our overall well being and can have a significant impact on our lives. Unfortunately, mental health issues are often overlooked or ignored, and this can have a devastating effect on those struggling with it.It is important to remember that mental health issues are just as serious and real as physical health issues, and should be taken seriously. We need to remove the stigma around mental health and create an environment where people feel safe to discuss it and get help if needed.We also need to ensure that mental health services are readily available and accessible. Mental health should never be ignored, and everyone should have access to the help and support they need.I hope that we can all work together to ensure that mental health issues are taken seriously and given the attention that they deserve.

Her loyalties torn, Meera finds herself caught in the middle-the middle of the end.Meera has freed herself from her dungeon cell, but she has not quite freed herself from her grief and guilt. Desperate for atonement, she leads Kennick, Shael, and Linus to Harringbay to seek forgiveness from the duke's family for her part in his death.The duke's daughter, Emmaline, is sick-plagued by a lifetime illness that she fears will kill her. Emmaline requests Meera's assistance in reaching her ancestral land for a cure, and together, they will embark on a journey-one that will prove fruitful in unexpected ways.At the same time, a battle is brewing between Aegorn and Terratelle-one final battle to end the long-waging war between the two nations. Meera will have to decide whether or not she will fight ... But whatever she decides, her extraordinary abilities won't help her prevent the death of someone she loves.

Meera is ready to fight. She's ready to stand up for humans everywhere and end the war. But a single moment could turn all of her plans to ash ...After fleeing an attack by the Queen's Council, Meera's safety and-more importantly-her relationship with Kennick are both up in the air. Kennick goes back to treating her like the night of the ball never happened, forcing Meera to decide what she wants and whether she's brave enough to ask for it.Meanwhile, the knell queen reveals herself as an ally-maybe even a friend. But Meera is still far from safe: she will have to battle a fearsome opponent in single combat, attend a potentially deadly dinner party, and face a hard truth if she is going to accomplish her goals.In an effort to negotiate for peace, Meera will travel with the queen and find herself back in her homeland. There, she will be confronted by people and places from her past-and an instant of fire and loss may just make her give up the fight.

In this gripping sequel to Iron-Bound Flames, Meera faces an obstacle even more powerful than an iron-fisted king: love.She did it-she freed Shael and his raek and landed herself alone in a strange land in the process. Now, Shael offers to take her, and Meera is thrust into a society in which humans are detested and magic is commonplace.Finding her new home-and host-more seductive than she could have ever anticipated, Meera envisions a future for herself among the raek riders. However, after a devastating rejection she realizes she has been distracted-she has forgotten what really matters to her and forsaken her only family: her father.Determined to rescue her father from his brutal forced service to the king, Meera strikes out on her own. But she soon learns that things-and forests-are not always as they appear and that only a warrior at heart can weather the harshest of storms. Meera may or may not find her father, but what-or who-she does find is sure to change her ... forever.

Meera has it all figured out: she's a raek rider, she's going to end the war, and the man she loves might even love her back. She has everything under control ... until she bursts into flames.After Meera emerges from her magic-induced coma with a powerful knell body, she soon discovers that the wild raek has given her more than she'd bargained for: the horrifying ability to conjure raek fire. Unable to control her magic and afraid she will burn down everything she has built for herself, Meera leaves the Riders' Holt.With the help of an unexpected-and long-dead-teacher, she will train to prove to herself and her friends that she is worthy of being the next raek rider. But what kind of a rider can't control her own raek?Meera's return to the riders is met with mixed emotions, complicated further when Shael's friend Kennick challenges her to a fight ... and wants to buy her new boots. But the acceptance Meera really needs is from the Queen's Council-without it, she could lose the home she has finally found for herself or even her life.

What kind of a title is the "Good Books" devotional? If this book were written 150 years ago we might have titled this little volume, "The Devotional that Seeks to Introduce the Reader to an Indispensable Collection of Must-Read Titles from the Public Domain, Volume I," because that is what it seeks to do.Written as a companion to the Scripture Testimony Collection, this book aims to explain why each title in the collection is worth reading. Everyone faces the problem of trying to convince a friend to read a good book they have never heard of before. This daily devotional is intended both to draw out powerful spiritual lessons from real-life stories, and as a way for us at Walking Together Press to say, "What? You have never heard of this book? Here, let me read you this short excerpt..." The following titles are represented in this devotional: Answered or Unanswered? by Louisa VaughanBy My Spirit by Jonathan GoforthChinese Diamonds for the King of Kings by Rosalind GoforthDr. Baedeker and His Apostolic Work in Russia by R.
