Book Description
“Entertainment is the very heartbeat of Sanvar, and we are the blood, and as long as it remains that way, whether we live or die is immaterial.” In the Greco-Roman culture of Sanvar, a tale unfolds that follows the story of two orphans: one incredibly important, the other apparently insignificant. Isla Eliseus is the Iram of Sanvar, and among the most powerful people in the entire empire. Despite the honor and influence of her position, Isla wrestles with a prospect too monstrous to ignore: the exploitation of children, orphaned as she was. Determined to act, Isla agrees to spy for a rebel organization committed to ending the vile practices of the orphanages. Silas Carter's life is wholly different. Raised in obscurity within a state-run orphanage, he was trained to fulfill a single task: to serve Sanvar. Like other orphans, he knows how wrong it is to kill, but has no other choice when he's sent to the regional colosseum as a gladiator, forced to live out his own worst nightmare. Although separated by social class and fortune, Silas and Isla are connected through their past. Spotting each other at a colosseum, they rekindle their friendship, meeting again for the first time since childhood: Isla as Iram, and Silas as gladiator-slave, destined for death. Using her influence in Sanvar and position as spy to the rebellion, Isla promises Silas his freedom, setting in motion a series of terrible and thought-provoking events that promise to change Sanvar forever. "Silas and Isla face internal conflict that will resonate with today’s readers: dealing with hope and betrayal, managing obstacles, facing self-doubt, finding one’s place in the world, and overcoming life circumstances beyond one’s control" - WinterPromise Publishing

Freeing the Captives
Author: Louise Ireland-Frey
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1571741364
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Stories of spirit possession come to us from earliest recorded history. Modern science typically has looked on these reports as the product of ignorance and superstition. Modern science may be wrong. It may, in fact, be changing its mind. In the later years of her medical career, Dr Louise Ireland-Frey, a hypnotherapist, became involved with a phenomenon known since the earliest recorded history: spirit possession. Already interested in metaphysics and psychic manifestations, she developed successful techniques known as Spirit Releasement Therapy. In this text, Dr Ireland-Frey shares many cases of spirit attachment and releasement, discusses types of "invisibles", and how they can be responsible for any number of physical, mental, and emotional disorder.
