A crippled leg and latent magical abilities aren't Cassy Mae's worst problems. A stalker, who lusts for her growing magic, seeks to possess her.
Cassy Mae's mother raised her to hate magic. Her fears were so strong, she almost refused to go live with her juju-practicing grandmother when her mother died. But, she had nowhere else to go. To her surprise, even though she was bullied in school because she limps, Cassy Mae found peace in the hills of Docket's Diggings. Then, the Markhams moved to town, spreading a strange malaise wherever they go.
The teen soon becomes the target of Jamilla Markham's attention. Can Cassy Mae escape the danger hiding beneath Jamilla's seeming friendship?

How to move people and mountains with the power of story.
Charismatic leaders seem to possess an effortless ability to influence, captivate, charm, and inspire people to action. Whether it is through grace, passion, or unshakable confidence, charismatic people can rouse the sentiments and energies of the people they touch. While not everyone can master charisma, there is one charismatic tool that any leader can learn — the power of storytelling; specifically, how to communicate a strategic narrative. This book will show you how.
______
The book details the story categories all great leaders need to tell, and the cultural framework they need to infuse these stories into. Each chapter has several stories illustrating the chapter topic. Here are three of the author's favourites:
The World’s Oldest Recorded Customer Complaint Letter – In 1750 BCE, in what is considered the world’s oldest recorded customer complaint letter, Nanni, a merchant from Ur, writes to Ea-nasir, a copper producer in the Persian Gulf, complaining that his order for copper ingots was substandard. The letter, inscribed in cuneiform on a clay tablet, was recovered from an archaeological site and in many ways shows that customer service issues such as rude treatment, contempt, broken promises, and delivery of substandard goods, have been with us for millennia. Read the full letter and you will understand the angst poor Nanni had to endure.
A Letter from a Freedman to His Old Master – In the summer of 1864, Union soldiers freed plantation slave Jordon Anderson and his family, who were then able to make their way north to Dayton, Ohio to start a new life. Imagine Jordon’s surprise when he received a letter from his old slave master asking him to return to the plantation to run its operations. You won’t believe the wit and sarcasm Jordon delivered back in his response to such a ridiculous request.
A Twenty-Three Year Delay – Charles Darwin spent five years on the HMS Beagle as the ship’s naturalist. Upon his return in 1836, Darwin’s mind reeled with what he had witnessed and was already formulating the genesis of two revolutionary ideas: the theory of evolution and a theory for how evolution takes place, that being natural selection. But it wasn’t until 1859, twenty-three years after he returned from his voyage, that Darwin published his theories in the book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Why did he wait so long? You may be surprised by the reason.
The only thing standing between you and crushing your next sales goal—is you.
Your mindset, your beliefs, and your processes can either catapult you beyond your target or hold you back before you even launch. The real difference between high performers and everyone else is they know how to focus and strategically pursue their ambitions. It's how they break through the cycle of feast or famine to enjoy consistent checks and income.
Every salesperson has experienced the swing of the commission pendulum—going from being flush with cash to barely scrounging up enough to pay bills.
In “Catapulting Commissions,” world-class sales expert Anthony Garcia leverages his two decades of sales experience and shares the 11 questions every salesperson must ask themselves to break that cycle. Throughout the book, Garcia helps readers rewire their mental approach to sales, target actionable activities, and create a support system. Whether you are just beginning your sales career or are a seasoned professional, “Catapulting Commissions” can help you get the commissions you want.
In sales, the energy you invest directly impacts the rewards you reap from it. Read “Catapulting Commissions” and get ready to earn returns on investing in yourself.
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."
