Every enchantment has a price.

With a flick of her paintbrush, Isobel creates stunning portraits for a dangerous set of clients: the fair folk. These immortal creatures cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and they trade valuable enchantments for Isobel’s paintings. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—Isobel makes a deadly mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes, a weakness that could cost him his throne, and even his life.

Furious, Rook spirits Isobel away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime. But something is seriously amiss in his world, and they are attacked from every side. With Isobel and Rook depending upon each other for survival, their alliance blossoms into trust, perhaps even love . . . a forbidden emotion that would violate the fair folks’ ruthless laws, rendering both their lives forfeit. What force could Isobel's paintings conjure that is powerful enough to defy the ancient malice of the fairy courts?

Isobel and Rook journey along a knife-edge in a lush world where beauty masks corruption and the cost of survival might be more frightening than death itself.

Rum Point: A Baseball Novel

A longtime Christian teacher and counselor calls engaged and married couples to a grace-based lifestyle of daily reconciliation, marked by six practical commitments. Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world. Yet, in counselor Paul Tripp's professional experience, the majority of couples enter marriage with unrealistic expectations, leaving them unprepared for the day-to-day realities of married life. This unique book introduces a biblical and practical approach to those realities that is rooted in God's faithfulness and Scripture's teaching on sin and grace. Spouses need to be reconciled to each other and to God on a daily basis, Tripp declares. Since we're always sinners married to sinners, reconciliation isn't just the right response in moments of failure. It must be the lifestyle of any healthy marriage. What Did You Expect? presents six practical commitments that give shape and momentum to such a lifestyle. These commitments, which include honestly facing sin, weakness, and failure; willingness to change; and embodying Christ's love, will equip couples to develop a thriving, grace-based marriage in all circumstances and seasons of their relationship.

Memoir of an American Editor offshore in the The Cayman Islands; part compelling reminiscence, part historical account, this is an important contribution to the history of the Caymans in the twentieth century. Dick Gentry is an outspoken journalist with 50 years of writing and editing experiences. Much of his success in journalism is his skill in telling stories that readers love. This is rightly called a memoir, although it reads more like a novel. It is also an anthology of history, frustration, money and adventure in a foreign country. Naive Mr. Gentry was unprepared for the reception he received in The Cayman Islands' only newspaper. In the beginning, Dick did not know what he was doing. He was battered like a pebble in an empty Coke bottle bouncing against the Iron Shore. But he never sank, and this remarkable book documents his dealings with the local Caymanians and the British Administration - his triumphs and pitfalls as Editor of The Caymanian Weekly at a pivotal moment in the Caymans' transition from sleepy Caribbean islands to international tax haven.

At the Foot of the Southern Cross: An American Editor Offshore in the Cayman Islands

GUN BAY In February 1794 ten ships, nine merchants and a Royal Navy frigate, wrecked on the reef at the east end of Grand Cayman Island. They were part of a convoy of fifty-eight ships that had left Jamaica only a few days prior and were bound for North America and England. Edward Ballantyne, White's fictitious narrator from When Fortune Frowns, returns to tell the story of this disastrous event, still well-known in Cayman lore and, while the bones of the wrecked ships are no longer visible, several cannon from the Royal Navy frigate, HMS Convert can be found in the front yards of homes along the bluff above Gun Bay. There is naturally a great deal of "folk lore" associated with the event, but the Cayman Archives hold part of the story; the rest can be found in archives in England, Jamaica, and France. GUN BAY tells the story, in the voice of Edward Ballantyne, of his arrival in Port Royal, Jamaica, having sailed from England following the court martial of the Bounty mutineers. We learn how the formerly French frigate became HMS Convert and a unit of the Royal Navy in time to lead the convoy to its disastrous ending on Grand Cayman and the trials and tribulations of manning the ship in Port Royal. Laced with White's realistic language of the period, his knowledge of sailing ships, and understanding of offshore navigation, GUN BAY is an exciting and entertaining read not just for aficionados of the genre, but of any seeking a great adventure tale. And the best part is, most of it is true! ******************** What advance readers have said about GUN BAY: Mesmerizing... I couldn't wait to turn the page then couldn't believe it when I'd turned the last one! A brilliant tale by a master storyteller . . . Highly recommended! Michael Aye Author: The Fighting Anthonys. Once again, William White combines a historian's passion for detail and a novelist's flair for brilliant storytelling to flesh out an obscure event in British naval history, which occurred in 1794 off Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean. . . Salt air and Stockholm tar literally waft off the pages. George Jepson, Editor, Quarterdeck Magazine
