But before he was Red Harry, before he was anything, he was Harruvard of Werrewood, a man-at-arms sworn in service to Lord Gadrin Strael. Injured and left for dead during a bitter conflict along Lord Gadrin’s borders, his life was saved by the kindness of a stranger. But as Harruvard's past refused to let him go, that same kindness soon would be stained red. In the deep of winter, beneath creeping snows and biting ice, the black seeds of the monster Harruvard would become were sown by the hands of men, and nurtured by their cruelty.

Ketone Power: Superfuel for Optimal Mental Health and Ultimate Physical Performance


Cristian Vlad Zot - 2014
    After all, human DNA is 99% exactly the same. So, there should be a prescription (Rx) that works for the majority of us. Cristi himself, fed up with not being able to lose the last few pounds of his belly fat, has started studying and experimenting with ketogenic nutrition and ketosis. Ketosis is the metabolic state where your body uses fat and ketone bodies (by-products of fat) as the main source of fuel and it is achieved by drastically eliminating sugar from the diet. Long-term constant ketosis leads to keto-adaptation. Keto-adaptation brought various improvements in Cristi Vlad's existence, such as: fat loss, elimination of hunger, elimination of cravings for high-carbohydrate foods, improved mental performance, ultra-high energy levels, less sleep required per night, better sleep, enhanced endurance and strength training output, and probably the most important: ability to eat chocolate every day. In Ketone Power, Cristi Vlad, inspired by his mentors and armed with extensive research and personal experience outlines: 1. How he lost 10 pounds of fat in 2 months eating 70% of his calories from fat and consuming 2,000-3,000 kcals per day. His exercising routine was reduced from 5-6 times/week to 1-2 times/week. Before/after photos are included. 2. How the human body works differently when running on a fat metabolism compared to a carbohydrate metabolism (that which most of the people are in). 3. How his 2 month experiment became his new lifestyle due to the benefits of keto-adaptation. 4. How ketogenic nutrition is a powerful therapeutic approach to diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and other health issues. 5. Protocols for strength training and endurance training. 6. His shopping list and the foods he consumes daily to support keto-adaptation. Fat-bombs are included. 7. His virtual academy consisting of mentors, websites, courses, MOOC sites, and Youtube channels all of which helped him achieve knowledge on ketogenic nutrition and human biochemistry. All of what Cristi Vlad did and keeps doing does not include fancy and expensive gadgets or pockets full of cash. It only requires willingness to improve one's existence and enjoy life every second that passes. You can do this by yourself as well. This book is the prescription.

She took him home, aware that it could be the biggest mistake she’d ever made. She was already on the run, already trying to live as much off the grid as possible. What was she going to do with an injured man? What if he died in her bed? What would she do then? Teaching Lincoln Janet Spence—Summer—is the daughter of the local district attorney who plays at being a thief, doing all she can to humiliate her mother. That is until she gets caught by a local football hero who kidnaps her and plans a dark sort of revenge. Just her luck that Lincoln happens to choose that day to break into the football star’s house and recover items that will just pay off his gambling debts to the Gabbana family. Lincoln shows no interest in the tied up girl at first, but when he learns who she really is, how could he resist collecting this bit of leverage against a district attorney who ran on the campaign promise that she would rid Tampa of Lincoln and his faction of criminals? Cason's Girl Cason Durst was once carefree and popular, the kind of college kid who thinks he knows everything. And then he was arrested and met Lincoln Steele. Lincoln saved him, fixed his problems, and offered him a job. Now Cason keeps to himself, learning all he can from the men who formed Boone’s crew. He’s learned that making friends, falling in love, all those things he once took for granted, are dangerous to him now. He’s learned to keep to himself. In fact, he’s become kind of awkward. Shy, even. Therefore, he’s the last one anyone could have expected Lincoln to send out on a mission to romance a pretty girl. Let It Raine Kara Tripp walks into Jett’s office one afternoon, begging him to forgive the debt of her lover, Harry.

But when he hears that Kara just happens to be a therapist who works with autistic children, he can’t pass up the opportunity to see if her skills can help improve Raine’s behavior. Jett and Kara make a deal in which she goes to work for him and Raine for six months, and he will forgive Harry’s debt. And it works, for four months, it works perfectly. But then a mole pops up in Boone’s Crew, and Jett finds himself questioning everything, and everyone, around him. Boone's End Titus betrayed his crew. In his world, betrayal was a crime punishable by death. He has two choices: embrace the very enemy that threatens to rip his world apart, or turn himself in to the very men who would like nothing more than to put a bullet in his brain. It’s not a simple choice. Titus has to decide where his loyalties really lay, and figure out who he can trust before it’s too late and an innocent pays for his mistakes. Jude Volz lost her brother to violence, and her father went to jail when she needed him the most. Determined to make someone pay, she trusted the wrong man, and now she’s caught up in something she can’t control. Locked in a car with a traitor, she has no choice but to trust Titus, to open up to him, and hope that together they can find a way out of an impossible situation. But now they’re running not just from his crew, but from hers as well.
