The first book of a thrilling new fantasy epic rooted in Indian mythology, RED SAPPHIRE brings together a complex counterpoint of suspenseful arcs, vivid imagery, and tender human stories. An unabashedly global tale told across present-day San Francisco and WWII India, RED SAPPHIRE is the debut novel of Stanford-educated author, Ashley Mayers.

Nicholas Roerich's classic 1929 mystic travel book is back in print! He kept a diary of his travels by yak and camel through a remote region still largely unknown today. An intellectual as well as an adventurer, he chronicles his expedition through Sinkiang, Altai-Mongolia and Tibet from 1924 to 1928 in twelve exciting chapters detailing his encounters along the parched byways of Central Asia. With a special interest in geographical mysteries and arcane and mystical arts, he searches for the hidden cities of Shambala and Agartha. Roerich's original drawings, as well as reproductions of his inspiring paintings illustrate this unique travel book.

"My name is Neha Rutherford Patel Vishravan, and I am a creature of darkness. I am the heir to an ancient legacy, older than humanity itself, and I am not alone. I am but one of a handful of powerful beings who have gone against our nature to become warriors for peace. Now, with the clock of destiny ticking ominously closer to our final reckoning, the time has come for me to make myself known to you, my dear sister, so that together we can do what no one has been able to do before..." In the riveting conclusion of Shanti's poignant prequel, punctuated by the exciting introduction of a new divine hero, Supriya finally learns the full shocking truth of her mysterious origins and the real story of her missing human father. But, will the harsh realities that made Supriya's life possible be more painful than the life of lies in which she grew up? A touching treatise on the delicate choices that hold families together and tear them apart, WHITE SAPPHIRE is the third book in the seven book epic fantasy series, THE SITA CHRONICLES.

A comprehensive guidebook to the places in India made sacred by the Buddha’s presence. Beginning with an inspiring account of Buddhist pilgrimage, the author then covers sixteen places in detail. With maps and colour photos, an essential companion for pilgrim and traveler.

As Supriya's surprisingly mundane freshman year in college descends into apocalyptic chaos, her mother's shocking confessional of love, loss, and lies serves as a riveting prequel that will change absolutely everything.
