Reign of Ashes
by Alexandra Sempie
Asha, a head strong and fierce Warrior, has just barely escaped her nemesis’s flaming castle alive—and thankfully, not empty handed. After capturing Khaba’s pet, Asha returns to her superior, the supercilious Mina, and prays she won’t be too angered by her failure, but her hopes are quickly dashed. Scornful of Asha’s failure, Mina sets her household on a new course, determined to put an end to Khaba’s reign of terror and foil his new plan of removing the King of Galnormada from his throne. Asha and her companions sail for the mysterious kingdom on a turbulent and frightfully lengthy journey, one that will take Asha farther than she has ever travelled before. With her companions by her side, Asha feels unstoppable and ready to take on any challenge that presents itself, but an unexpected arrival to the household quickly unravels secrets and plots far beyond anything she trained for. As her journey continues, Asha realizes she still has much to learn about the world and relies heavily on her training at the Sugiliate Warrior Academy to guide her, but discipline and oaths do not always lead to the right choices. Sometimes, her vow to be the greatest Warrior of all puts her—and those she cares about—in greater danger than ever before. Reign of Ashes, the second book of The Sugilite Warrior Series, is a dark, action-packed fantasy of loyalty, ambition, and the cost of choosing duty over the heart—as every decision could bring Asha closer to a future not of her making or desire.

Brave Cuts
A Heart Surgeon’s Journey through Purpose, Pain, Conviction, and Healing by Sanjiv K. Gandhi
Dr. Sanjiv K. Gandhi spent decades working inside operating rooms where children’s lives literally hung in the balance. In this brave, unflinching memoir, he opens up about the scalpel-edge decisions that defined his career as a pediatric cardiac surgeon, the personal losses that transformed his path, and the convictions that pulled him from the surgical suites into the political spotlight, only to be cast into the darkness again. From his childhood in small-town Nova Scotia as the son of immigrant physicians to the operating rooms of North America, Africa, and beyond, Gandhi takes readers inside a life shaped by resilience, precision, and purpose. Along the way, he shares extraordinary stories of patients whose courage taught him as much as any mentor and of personal losses that reshaped how he defined success, fatherhood, and compassion. Interwoven throughout are recipes that honour his family, reminding us that food, like surgery, is an act of love. But this is more than a surgeon’s memoir. It is also a searing critique of the systems meant to safeguard public health. With candor and urgency, Gandhi challenges us to reconsider how we measure success, how we value care, and how we can make medicine more humane. Deeply personal and universally resonant, Brave Cuts blends humanity, humility, and honesty in a story that’s as much about the courage to challenge entrenched systems as it is about saving lives. This is a portrait of a man who has never stopped fighting—for patients, for justice, and for a better vision of society.

Salty Dips Volume 12
"Who would have thought … I'd end up here." by Naval Association of Canada
“To spin a dip” is a popular sailor’s term meaning “to tell a story”—“salty” because they are of the very essence of the sea. "Who would have thought . . . I’d end up here" is the twelfth volume in the Salty Dips series that began in 1983. It brings together stories told by serving or retired Royal Canadian Navy sailors and details the surprising twists and turns that as members of the Navy they could not have imagined when they signed up to serve, plus a short story of a naval spouse’s experience to round out the volume. It is also an invaluable document in Canadian naval history and an absorbing anthology of real-life stories for anyone interested in daily life in the Canadian Navy. The memories collected here cover a period of immense social and institutional change from post-WWII downsizing and the Korean War through the controversial unification of the armed forces in the late 1960s, the campaign to bring women fully and fairly into the service in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, and the complex new challenges of the post-9/11 world. Most of the stories in Salty Dips are the frank personal testimonies of the officers and enlisted sailors who participated in this rich history. Although the editors have worked hard to make sure the facts are correct, memories decades after an event can sometimes add a twist or two to a tale, so readers should not expect one hundred percent accuracy. What you can expect is twenty-one fascinating portraits of a changing Canadian Navy and some startling insights into the talents and mindsets that have enabled Canadian men and women to perform extraordinarily under often difficult or dangerous conditions.

Vector Surge
by Diana Dzioba
It is the year 2040, and the world has changed forever. In the near dystopian future, climate change and illness have devastated humanity, leaving few habitable safe havens and even fewer resources for survivors. With the world divided into tenuous alliances, conflict is not just unavoidable. It’s a promise. Eve wakes up injured in the medical unit of Vector Surge, one of the remaining alliances in the Atical safe land. Eve has no memory of who she is or where she came from. She later learns that she was spared a grisly death in the dead zone—a no man’s land between alliance bases—by Vector Surge members who found her. With a murky past, she’s met with scrutiny and suspicion by all but Olivia, a nurse practitioner who spends her days treating the injured and saving lives. With an undeniable attraction blooming between the two women, Eve questions if the past really matters, and if she could leave it behind for her newfound family. Yet Vector Surge’s enemies are at the alliance’s doorstep, threatening to unravel everything Eve’s built. As the alliance suffers attacks from all directions, Eve must decide what’s more important: uncovering her past or protecting her present.

Solitude's Solace
by Kamalendu Nath
Questioning life experiences - from British India to independent India; minority discrimination in the new land (USA). Entertains questions, as subtle as human nature to what’s hidden behind ultimate reality; perceived by an amateur philosopher-scientist. In various settings these constitute the subject matter of most poems. Partly autobiographical, it considers life and living in an analytical way.
