Hero: a title that carries the most severe punishment a criminal can earn. Why? Because these "heroes" are the front line in humanity's war against the Demon Blight. Driven mad by centuries of fighting, the penal hero forces are made up of the most morally bankrupt to exist throughout history. They fight without hope of redemption, driven mad at the helplessness of their mission as the fallen are resurrected to continue struggling for all eternity. It is to this chaos that Xylo Forbartz--former captain of the Order of Holy Knights--is sentenced for his crime of deicide. But after he encounters Teoritta, an unknown Goddess of the Blade, the two will forge a pact with the power to change the course of history, and maybe save the world from annihilation...

Thus begins the story of a beautiful, bittersweet friendship, the ups and downs of childhood, and a project left forever unfinished...

What do you do when the formula for success you've followed for years no longer works?

For many of us, the path once seemed clear: get a "good" job, climb the ladder, earn the title, and repeat. That formula works--until the way you operated and what you prioritized in the past no longer aligns with the future you want. The truth is, the old contracts are broken. Loyalty no longer guarantees security, balance is a myth, and brilliant leaders are exhausted by chasing a version of success that doesn't feel like theirs. And all of this is unfolding in an era of mass layoffs, disengagement, and automation--forcing you to renegotiate what fulfillment, alignment, and security truly mean.
In Work Life Remix, career navigation and life design coach Ronnie Dickerson Stewart offers a way through. A remix is not about discarding everything you've built--it's about keeping what serves you and releasing what doesn't. You will learn to clarify requirements, enforce boundaries, create rhythms, and strategize for the life season you are in and the ones to come.
Drawing on two decades of leadership and coaching experience, Stewart shares career strategy reframes like how to become the chairperson of your own life (You Inc.) and the Five Work & Life Seasons: Growing, Sowing, Glowing, Going, and Woah-ing. Through provocations, prompts, and candid stories--and by naming larger forces of technology shifts, inequity, and cultural change--this book makes designing your remix practical and possible.
Whether you're at an inflection point or sensing it's time to stop settling for what looks good and start creating what feels right, Work Life Remix is your invitation to stop performing and start consciously designing the rest of your life and career.
You can't rewind or redo what's come before--but you can remix it.

What happens when a family's secret reveals a broader story of Jewish survival and loss?

In Leah, a forgotten chapter of Toronto's Jewish immigrant history comes to life. Nineteen-year-old Leah Granatstein arrived in Canada from Poland in the 1920s, seeking safety and new opportunities. But Leah's strong independence and struggles with mental health set her apart in a community still dealing with tradition, poverty, and prejudice. When her behaviour was seen as unacceptable, she was placed in an asylum and eventually deported back to Poland.

Her disappearance reflects more than a family tragedy: it sheds light on the challenges faced by Jewish immigrants in preserving their culture and faith in a city marked by both opportunity and discrimination; it foreshadows the devastation faced by European Jewry during the Holocaust; and it raises enduring questions about how families navigate differences, secrecy, and shame. Drawing on archival records, family testimony, and historically rooted storytelling, Leah explores the intersections of Jewish culture, Canadian immigration, and the misunderstood realities of mental illness in the early twentieth century.

We float to the surface, and we see that there is more to the world than the ocean. We see stars.

Then one day, we hear a song from far away.

It could be nothing, a new dance of energies made by stars muttering to themselves... but it could be everything. We pull tight to your direction in the hope that the universe may gift us a conversation. A banquet.

We see you killing us.

For fans of Ray Nayler, Ann Leckie, and Martin MacInnes, follow the hivemind of cephalopod aliens and explore the power of language, community, and hope.
