The Orcs are attacking again and with Uncle Mortimer’s passing it’s all up to Sam. But he’s new to the job and there’s that big sandwich order for the Chess Club coming up. Can Sam stop the evil Raymond and deliver on his biggest catering contract yet?

An outcast cursed to consume the memories of anything she touches. A woman fated to repopulate the nation's army. A breeder barred from the sword. 

Seventeen-year-old Alex Kingsley is determined to evade her marriage contract and a life of prescribed motherhood, even if it means competing in Belgate's enlistment trials under false pretenses.

But when the netherworld cracks open, Alex is handed a burden far heavier than bending the minds of men. As darkness spills across the land, she must ally with her critics and unleash a curse that was never forged for battle—a curse that now stands between mankind and oblivion.

This original compilation--a small treasure--offers a concise and contemporary compendium of some key North American (Turtle Island) wisdom teachings, offered to help guide people through an era of transition.

"I ask you to listen,
not just with your minds.
I ask you to listen with your hearts,
because that's the only way
you can receive what it is,
what we are giving.
These are the teachings of our hearts."
- Frank Decontie, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg
