An adventurer arrives on Conus as a prisoner, to toil in the pit, rows and rows of keyworkers with potty seats and gerbil tubes. Their job is to convert the dreams of the Wicks, an ancient race of dreamtellers, into code for brain patches. The computerized Topsiders, who forced the Wicks to live underground, have lost the capacity to dream and rely on the patches to function.

The head of the corporation that runs Conus vows to eliminate the Wicks and rely on computer-manufactured dreams entirely, even though those patches don't work very well. Fontaine falls in love with Varna, a beautiful masseuse from the pit, and leads in the defense of the Wicks against the ruthless Topsider army.

How far would you go for 24 hours if they were to be your last?
Grace... For those living in the land of Tretion, it is a kindness, a gift. A reprieve from the pain of death for some, a little extra time to say goodbye and make preparations for others, or even to go wild and jump from cliffs and do all the things you always wanted to do... As long as you can do it all in 24 hours. That's how long you have: one day. One day in which the body is healed from injury, postponing death itself for the duration. One day to make a difference between life and death. And then it's over, and if you were meant to die, you die... That's the grace, and there are two things every child knows: everyone is born with a grace, and no one can take it from you. So what happens if one is false? A series of murders has been baffling investigators in both Tretion and Allea. None of the victims used their grace period. Unfortunately, no one was left alive to say why, until now. The answer brings forth a terrifying possibility. The murderer is still out there, somewhere, and he must be stopped. The ruler of Tretion has ordered him captured, but a consensus on who to send cannot seem to be reached. The people must not know the truth. Finally, a decision is made and it seems obvious, for who better to hunt a man who steals lives than a man who has none left?

Healing for the Broken Hearted

It comforts me to know that Jesus promises us healing for the broken hearted. Even in the darkest of situations, there is hope.

I have walked through some dark days and difficult circumstances yet Christ has brought healing to my life. I have written this book to share with you the journey God has taken me on and some of the tools He used to bring healing and lasting freedom.

Isaiah 61:1 says, "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."

And yet, your path to healing may not look exactly like mine. We are all uniquely created with different backgrounds and life circumstances. Therefore, I do not believe there is just one step-by-step system.

However, in this book, I am going to share with you practical steps you can apply to your life to receive healing emotionally and spiritually. Please do not feel like you need to do every single step that I share with you. Instead, I encourage you to pray and ask God for wisdom. Ask Him to show you which specific steps you should take on your path to healing, and then, take that first step.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~Lao-tzu

==> Are you ready to take the steps necessary to receive healing from Christ?   If so, download this book to take the first step on your own journey to healing and freedom.
