A stunning, new project from Craig Hatkoff about a remarkable lion king named Cecil and his pride. At Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe's largest game reserve, more than 100 species of mammals live together. Lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, leopards, and rhinos roam freely through vast deserts, forests, and grasslands. Cecil the Lion was the king of them all. There are no fences or walls like in a zoo. It's a diverse ecosystem, but there's a delicate balance. When something changes, it sends a ripple throughout the whole park. No one knew it yet, but a ripple was about to be felt around the world. This is the tale of Cecil's dramatic rise to power and an unlikely partnership with his rival, Jericho, that would eventually save his pride. The book is filled with stunning, full-color photos taken by Brent Stapelkamp, a lion researcher for the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University. Brent has spent years tracking, studying, and photographing Cecil and his pride.

Over and again, the aged seeress Tamis scried all the possible tomorrows. In every one, dark forces threatened Greece; terrible evil was poised to reenter the world. The future held only one hope: a half-caste Spartan boy, Parmenion. So Tamis made it her mission to see that Parmenion would before the deadliest warrior in the world -- no matter what the cost. Raised to manhood in Sparta, bullied and forced to fight for his life every day, Parmenion had no notion of the unseen dimensions of magic and mystery that shaped his fate. He grew in strength and cunning. His military genius earned him the title Strategos in Sparta. His triumphs for the city of Thebes made him a hero. And finally his fate led him to the service of Philip of Macedon. As Tamis had foreseen, Parmenion's destiny was tied to the Dark God, to Philip, and to the yet-unborn Alexander. All too soon the future was upon them. Parmenion stood poised to defeat evil -- or to open the gate for the Dark God to reenter the world. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Meanwhile, for Tennessean Ronnie Lee Reed, New York City is the place where any girl—even one who runs with a Pack—can redefine herself. First order of business: find a mate, settle down, and stop using men for sex. Even big, gorgeous, lion shifter men like Brendon Shaw. But she needn't worry, because now that Brendon's set his sights on her, the predator in him is ready to pounce and never let go. . .
