NO MAN MAY TOUCH ZARIA. NOT EVEN HER OWN FATHER. Envy of the other girls, Zaria was born for the sea. Nobody questions her fate as the chosen braenese to marry Keroe, God of the Sea -- least of all her. And even if she did, she has no choice. When Zaria''s wedding day finally arrives, she''ll become the only islander of her generation permitted to cross into the God Sea. There''s nothing more she could possibly want. UNTIL A CURIOUS BOY WASHES UP ON HER PALM-FRINGED PARADISE AND ZARIA DEFIES SACRED LAW TO HIDE THE UNCONSCIOUS STRANGER. There are only two possibilities with his strange (and strangely handsome) face: he''s either a village anomaly or the Sea God himself, in disguise. The alluring boy-creature couldn''t have come from anywhere else, because there is no other land in all the ocean. BUT WHEN THE SCOUNDREL AWAKENS, HE HAS THE GALL TO AMBUSH ZARIA. As three pageants leading up to her wedding turn unexpectedly deadly, and the enigma of its true purpose looms, Zaria is torn between her long-desired fate as Sea Queen and the infuriating boy who tells her that everything her people know is a lie. _________________________________________________________________________________ "My clan? What is clan?" The boy''s free hand stopped pulling at the neck of my tunic. Instead, he cupped my chin and held my head steady. Those dark green eyes locked on mine, skewering me like a fishing spear. "Who do you fight for? Whose mark do you bear?" His lips were inches from mine. I felt light-headed. Then, cocking his head, he asked, "Why do you say it''s forbidden to touch you?" "Mark? I bear no mark, I fight for no one. The guards protect me," I spat. "I am Braeni, royal!" How many times did I have to say it? "We''ll see about that." He spoke in a clipped voice and then, suddenly, he lifted himself off of me, with a spring in his step. Whatever misfortune caused him to wash ashore, he looked to be in fine health now. For a moment, I was paralyzed with disbelief at being abruptly released. Then I scooted myself along the rough cave floor, crawling backwards from him, like a scuttering crab. I rubbed my wrists where he held them. "Stand up," he said, widening his stance to block any attempt to run past him. Warning bells tolled in my head. Shakily, I rose. "Why?" I was surprised to find my voice a whisper again. "I want to see your mark," he replied. "Turn around and show me your back." "What?" "Show me your back," he repeated, evenly. Hot anger coursed through my veins, setting a tingle to my arms. This boy, this demon - whatever he was - had touched me, had the audacity to attack me. And now he wanted me to... disrobe? Incredulous, a guttural, boorish, half-snort escaped my mouth. More animal, than human. Certainly not regal. I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin. Mimicking my mother''s tone, I replied, "I will do nothing of the sort. And if you want to live, you will stand aside, allow me to pass, and throw yourself on the mercy of The Queen. If you do this immediately, I will see to it that your life is spared, though I cannot save you from a hard sentence in the cane fields, where you''ll toil until the day you''re fish food!" The boy-demon frowned. "I don''t know what kind of clan you''ve got here, braenese, was it? Like a princess? But I''m going to find out." _________________________________________________________________________________ BEYOND THE GOD SEA: BETROTHED is the action-packed book I in the Beyond the God Sea Trilogy

Two leading physicists discuss the importance of the Higgs Boson, the future of particle physics, and the mysteries of the universe yet to be unraveled. On July 4, 2012, the long-sought Higgs Boson--aka "the God Particle"--was discovered at the world's largest particle accelerator, the LHC, in Geneva, Switzerland. On March 14, 2013, physicists at CERN confirmed it. This elusive subatomic particle forms a field that permeates the entire universe, creating the masses of the elementary particles that are the basic building blocks of everything in the known world--from viruses to elephants, from atoms to quasars. Starting where Nobel Laureate Leon Lederman's bestseller The God Particle left off, this incisive new book explains what's next. Lederman and Hill discuss key questions that will occupy physicists for years to come:* Why were scientists convinced that something like the "God Particle" had to exist?* What new particles, forces, and laws of physics lie beyond the "God Particle"?* What powerful new accelerators are now needed for the US to recapture a leadership role in science and to reach "beyond the God Particle," such as Fermilab's planned Project-X and the Muon Collider? Using thoughtful, witty, everyday language, the authors show how all of these intriguing questions are leading scientists ever deeper into the fabric of nature. Readers of The God Particle will not want to miss this important sequel.

From the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Sharon Kay Penman comes the story of the reign of King Baldwin IV and the Kingdom of Jerusalem's defense against Saladin's famous army. The Kingdom of Jerusalem, also known as Outremer, is the land far beyond the sea. Baptized in blood when the men of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Saracens in the early twelfth century, the kingdom defined an utterly new world, a land of blazing heat and a medley of cultures, a place where enemies were neighbors and neighbors became enemies. At the helm of this growing kingdom sits young Baldwin IV, an intelligent and courageous boy committed to the welfare and protection of his people. But despite Baldwin's dedication to his land, he is afflicted with leprosy at an early age and the threats against his power and his health nearly outweigh the risk of battle. As political deception scours the halls of the royal court, the Muslim army--led by the first sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin--is never far from the kingdom's doorstep, and there are only a handful Baldwin can trust, including the archbishop William of Tyre and Lord Balian d'Ibelin, a charismatic leader who has been one of the few able to maintain the peace. Filled with drama and battle, tragedy and romance, Sharon Kay Penman's latest novel brings a definitive period of history vividly alive with a tale of power and glory that will resonate with readers today.

As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God s power or God s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God if such exists allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle between the rebellious powers that enslave the world and the God who loves it wholly.
