Lizaveta has always looked like the enemy, but her blood has always been of the throne. After leaving her life on a choice she made with a letter opener above a king's throat, a friend reveals that she has gained a continent. The last heir from a long line of dead men, she rises to the role meant for a dead prince. Until she falls into his empty tomb. As the shadow of the crown looms above her, her pursuit of what happened that night seems futile. Pressured to find a husband, to protect an empire, and to remain quiet, she meets the silent and heavy truth; ruling is to be ruled. But day by day, as secrets, crimes and criminals emerge, she finds that maybe all the lies they said about her were true. A throne, an empress, a power, unwanted.

For Andrew Cai, everything followed routine and when that routine broke because his wife filed for a divorce, his life spiralled downwards. For London Wan Liang, moving past her mother's death seemed impossible, especially when nothing in her life improved and that left her bitter soul stuck in the past. For the two of them, the way back home may not be as far as it seems - not when one fateful chance encounter brings them together. { Copyright © AnneeSparrow. All Rights Reserved }

Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. *** Claire is lost and scared and utterly alone. Her family is in shambles after the death of her older sister Ina, and she's left to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life heads into a downwards spiral of loneliness. Her heart leads her to 5:48, a little cafe by 33rd street, where she finds her new home. With a broken heart and a speech disability, Jasper has his heart and mouth sewn shut by the winding threads of hurt and fear. Painting and serving coffee in cafe 5:48 are one of his last few saving graces, but the smile he's been painting on himself will soon fade away as everything he's ever held dear slips away from his grasp. Ezra is out-of-sync and oddly cold by the way life has treated his young self. Abandoned by his single mother at an early age, he has grown up thinking that he is a mistake. His constant shaking hands are a reflection of what he often thinks of himself, but the delightful pastries he bakes for 5:48's customers are a reflection of what others see of him. Drew is a quirky rarity. He is a dash of loud, a pinch of exuberant, and a cup of eccentric - just like the meals he serves in the cafe as the only chef there. Behind his playful grins and outlandish clothes, however, are his jutting ribs, hollowed cheeks, and too-thin arms. Sometimes he cannot stomach being in his own skin as much as he cannot stomach food. This family has gone a long way from finding each other, and they'll be going a long way together too as reality comes catching up to them, threatening the newfound happiness they've found with each other. Secrets are revealed, pasts become presents, and lives are changed. Slowly but surely, they find their way back home. *** NOTE AS OF 08/2026: This is the old version of the story from 2012, posted in FULL.

Salin sa wikang Filipino ng 1912 classic na "The Prayer Life". Ito'y isang napapanahong akda lalo pa't dumaraan ang bayan ng Diyos sa isang pandemyang nagdadala ng takot at bagabag sa marami. Ang takot ay mapapawi kung matututunan ng anak ng Diyos ang makipag-ugnayan nang malapitan kay Yahweh, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus, doon sa tinatawag ni Rev. Andrew Murray na "inner chamber" o kaloob-loobang silid. Ang bawat tunay na mananampalataya kay Jesus ay mayroon nito. Nakalulungkot lamang isipin na marami sa ating mga Kristiyano ang bibihira kung pumasok sa silid na iyon. Kung nais mong mapalakas ang pananampalataya mo sa mga panahong ito, kung nais mong mapagtagumpayan ang sarili mong kakulangan sa pananalangin at mapatibay ang ugnayan mo sa Diyos, ang aklat na ito ay para sa iyo. *** [Pansamantalang pabalat ng aklat (temporary book cover design): from free downloadable church promotion template at postermywall.com]
