Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne. Or at least, so they like to think. Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You're welcome! If only her father's fortune wasn't her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father's approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around. Eilidh, once the world's most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father's company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth--by confirming she'd been his favorite all along. On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins--but which Wren will come out on top?

Ten years she spends loving, losing, creating, and dying there, and the illusion of her current existence is blinking out like a disconnected hologram, the connection becoming as fragile as a loose and fraying wire. Camaria eventually escapes with her young children, back into the womb of her family and community, but not without scars, not without pain, not without loss, not without the echo of the troubling past. But as this Truth goes, with every death there is a birth-new insight, new Wisdom, new Life within and because of her-more answers for how to resuscitate those she had to leave behind-Pandora's Gifts pouring from the trove Camaria dared to open so many years before...This is only the beginning...

The Lost Road and Other Writings
The fifth volume of The History of Middle-earth, containing the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkien's epic tale of war, The Silmarillion.At the end of 1937, J.R.R. Tolkien set aside his work on the myths and heroic legends of Valinor and Middle-earth and began The Lord of the Rings.This fifth volume of The History of Middle-earth completes the examination of his writing up to that time. Later forms of "The Annals of Valinor" and "The Annals of Beleriand" had been composed, The Silmarillion was nearing completion in a greatly amplified form, and a new Map had been made. The legend of the Downfall of N繳menor had entered the work, including those central ideas: the World Made Round and the Straight Path into the vanished West. Closely associated with this was the abandoned "time-travel" story "The Lost Road," linking the world of N繳menor and Middle-earth with the legends of many other times and peoples.Also included in this volume is the "The Lhammas," an essay on the complex languages and dialects of Middle-earth, and an etymological dictionary containing an extensive account of Elvish vocabularies.
