Summary

Liam is making the most of his new life, learning all sorts of spells to prepare for the uncertain road that lies ahead. But when the first princess takes an unexpected interest in him, it signals many more changes that will rattle his ruin-bound life as a noble. Particularly chilling is the change in his eldest brother, Albrevit Hamilton. Once indifferent to Liam, Albrevit is now consumed with envy and hostility, seeing his youngest brother’s achievements as a threat to the Hamilton house and his own status. The desperate acts of a cornered young nobleman are not to be underestimated—but Liam, now equipped with more magical skills and knowledge than ever before, won’t be cowed so easily! Be it a rampaging young noble, an evil dragon, or even a spontaneous country-building endeavor, Liam faces every challenge head-on!

    The Machine Stops is a dystopian science fiction novel from 1909. A universal reaction to this story seems to be one of surprise, since some of the forecasts of the future seem to be eerily accurate. This is a thoroughly thought-provoking book, and well worth a listen.

    New York Times Bestseller: A “charming, funny, and pointedly invigorating” collection of comic illustrations and inspiring quotes about creativity (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Australian graphic designer Gavin Aung Than had been working a corporate job for eight years—and, when his boss wasn’t looking, reading Wikipedia biographies of people whose lives were more interesting than his. Finally, their stories and quotes inspired him to quit and pursue his passion for illustration and cartooning—and eventually he found an enthusiastic audience online for his blend of uplifting quotations and striking artwork. This is a delightful collection from the creator of Zen Pencils, who “deftly blends the inspired thoughts of our great creative and moral thinkers with its own fresh visual wit” (Michael Cavna, TheWashington Post’s Comic Riffs).   
 
“Gavin has the amazing ability to make words and ideas come alive. He teaches, inspires, and brings a whole new level of creativity to the quotes that hold a special place in our hearts.” —Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Daring Greatly 
 
“Sometimes all it takes is a clear, original vision and a talented hand. Gavin Aung Than and his genius of Zen Pencils gives us that together, and so much more.” —Chris Hadfield, retired astronaut and former Commander of the International Space Station 
 
“If you read this book and don’t get a lump in your throat and a stirring in your heart at least once, check your pulse. You’re dead.” —Philip Plait, The Bad Astronomer
