Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The water beckons… Illista and her sister fled their homeland when invaders killed their parents and tried to enslave the girls’ innate water magic. Now disguised as servile Waki, Illista serves the Segra people on the dusty high plains, far from the warm oceans of her childhood. One night, lured by the siren song of the Segra’s sacred lake waters, Illista sheds her Waki disguise for a swim and becomes witness to a murder attempt on the Segra chief’s only son and heir. War looms… Joral’s marriage to the daughter of another tribe will seal the peace between the warring nations and strengthen both halves of the Segra people against invaders from the West. When he is poisoned and nearly drowned on the night of his betrothal, a mysterious sprite of a woman saves his life. Was the attempt on his life the workings of a rival, or was it tied to the sudden arrival of Western mercenaries who seek the missing water witches? A secret revealed… When Joral discovers Illista’s secret, will he sacrifice her to secure peace for his people? Or will he follow his heart for the sake of a water sprite who may be the Segra’s only hope for restoring the rains to the drought-ridden land?

Cinema as Weather

Stylistic Screens and Atmospheric Change

By: Kristi McKim

How do cinematic portrayals of the weather reflect and affect our experience of the world? While weatherly predictability and surprise can impact our daily experience, the history of cinema attests to the stylistic and narrative significance of snow, rain, wind, sunshine, clouds, and skies. Through analysis of films ranging from The Wizard of Oz to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, from Citizen Kane to In the Mood for Love, Kristi McKim calls our attention to the ways that we read our atmospheres both within and beyond the movies. Building upon meteorological definitions of weather's dynamism and volatility, this book shows how film weather can reveal character interiority, accelerate plot development, inspire stylistic innovation, comprise a momentary attraction, convey the passage of time, and idealize the world at its greatest meaning-making capacity (unlike our weather, film weather always happens on time, whether for tumultuous, romantic, violent, suspenseful, or melodramatic ends). Akin to cinema's structuring of ephemera, cinematic weather suggests aesthetic control over what is fleeting, contingent, wildly environmental, and beyond human capacity to tame. This first book-length study of such a meteorological and cinematic affinity casts film weather as a means of artfully and mechanically conquering contingency through contingency, of taming weather through a medium itself ephemeral and enduring. Using film theory, history, formalist/phenomenological analysis, and eco-criticism, this book casts cinema as weather, insofar as our skies and screens become readable through our interpretation of changing phenomena.

The Inspiration Code

How the Best Leaders Energize People Every Day

By: Kristi Hedges

Everyone wants to be the kind of leader who energizes and mobilizes others-yet too few are. Why is it so challenging to crack the code? All it takes is the right conversation…great leaders inspire action with their words. They spark enthusiasm and commitment. With a single conversation, they can change the direction of someone's life. Executive coach Kristi Hedges spent years studying exactly what inspiring leaders do differently. Informed by quantitative research and thousands of responses from leaders at all levels, she reveals that inspiring communication isn't about grand gestures. Instead, those who motivate us most do a few things routinely, consistently, and intentionally. In Inspiration Code, Kristi explains: Present: investing their attention carefully and guiding the flow of conversations Personal: speaking genuinely, listening generously, and bringing out the potential of those around the Passionate: exhibiting sincere emotion and exuding energy attuned to the situation Purposeful: helping others find meaning and see their place in the bigger picture Eye-opening and accessible, The Inspiration Code dispels common myths about how leaders communicate-and guides them in cultivating qualities that authentically excite. Inspired companies need inspirational leaders. Learn to unlock motivation, lift peoples ‘sights, and lead them into the future.

Early Christian Dress

Early Christian Dress

Gender, Virtue, and Authority

By: Kristi Upson-Saia

Early Christian Dress is the first full-length monograph on the subject of dress in early Christianity. It pays attention to the ways in which dress expressed and shaped Christian identity, the role dress played in Christians’ rivalries with pagan neighbours, and especially to the ways in which notions of gender were culled and revised in the process. Although many scholars have argued that gender in late antiquity was a performed and embodied category, few have paid attention to the ways in which dress and physical appearances were implicated in the understanding of femininity and masculinity. This study addresses that gap, revealing the amount of sartorial work necessary to secure stable gender categories in the worlds of early Imperial pagans and late ancient Christians. This study analyzes several vigorous discussions and debates that arose over Christian women’s dress. It examines how Christians interpreted their dress—especially the dress of female ascetics—as evidence of Christianity’s advanced morality and piety, a morality and piety that was coded "masculine." Yet even Christian leaders who championed ascetic women’s ability to achieve a degree of virility in terms of their virtue and spiritual status were troubled when ascetics’ dress threatened to materially dissolve gender categories, difference, and hierarchies. In the end, the study enables us to gain a broader view of how gender was constructed, perceived, and contested in early Christianity.

Clever Chloe

By: Debra Kristi

The power I have over death–to connect our world with the Otherworld–isn’t a gift like I was led to believe. It’s a curse. I still don’t know how my unique “gift” as a blood witch works and have no idea how to protect myself. Which is exactly what I need to do when I step outside of my family’s magically protected home and find myself a magnet for the dead. Now with only a clue from Gram-Gram to go on, I’m on a mission to find a man I’ve never met and who no one has seen in ages: my Grandpa. That is, if the French Quarter witches and vampires don’t stop me. Turns out they don’t want to, though. Not when I could inadvertently lead them to the key they need to control the city. I can’t do this alone, but only the dead can help me piece together these clues. Worse? The only soul among them who holds the answer to my search is a dark and unholy spirit, equally bent on destroying me. This fast-paced, action-packed, young adult, paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magical bloodline family is ideal for fans of The Originals and Charmed.

Fatal Freya

By: Debra Kristi

I killed a man, turned him to dust, with nothing more than a touch of my hand." I don’t know how to stop causing pain… or worse. I can’t figure out what it is I do. My effect on others appears random. Very random. I’m desperate to find someone with whom I can confide. Someone to help me understand what I am and what I do. But my foster family isn’t open to hearing my personal issues. And my birth family… that’s another complicated and crazy story… Six years ago, my dad disappeared and my mom started using different names for us. Even worse, everyone I ever knew forgot who I was. No one seems to remember. No one, but me. And now, my real mom is ill – my fault, my touch – and in need of a full-time caregiver. I know my dad is still out there somewhere. I can feel him in the current that runs through my veins. When a girl from my past approaches and tells me she not only remembers me, but that we’re family – my dad’s family – I’m leery. But I’m willing to do anything to find my dad. And if that means working with “supposed” family, so be it. I never expected the search to bring so much supernatural activity into my life. Dark Elements clearly don’t want my father found. But I will do everything I can to bring him home without becoming a victim of evil magic or vampires. This young adult, paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magical bloodline family is ideal for fans of The Bane Chronicles and The Originals.
