A beautiful Cornish coastal village is the setting for a highly sinister conspiracy involving a kidnapped baby, mysterious monks and an almost irresistible new perfume... 'Joan Aiken's triumph with this genre is that she does it so much better than others' New York Times Book Review
We were made for intimacy--spiritual intimacy with God that brings oneness and bears powerful fruit. We were made to know Him and be known by Him, fully. So why do we often feel burnt-out, distant, and disheartened in our journey of faith? How do we cultivate true intimacy with God? And what does His design of physical, sexual intimacy unveil of the full gospel story? Sharing Word-backed, Holy Spirit-breathed revelation with humility and openhanded honesty, New York Times bestselling author Mo Aiken walks alongside us through the beauty and power of life lived in active communion with God, rather than the self-seeking, counterfeit faith we've settled for. Unpacking eternity-defining concepts that have become confusing, offensive, or altogether ignored--like submission, repentance, sanctification, holiness, and discipline--Mo shows us how God has given us a physical model of spiritual intimacy through His design of marriage, sex, and family. Exposing many roots of selfishness and perversion we see so often in our relationships, both human and divine, she invites us to pure-hearted and transformational communion with our Creator. If you've felt far from God, caught in broken relationships, dead in religion, and longing to be fully known, join Mo on this journey of return to right-natured intimacy with our First Love.

Jetzt ist ihr Platz bei ihrer Truppe, dummerweise besteht diese jedoch aus ungebildeten Nordland-Drachen, die glauben, eine Frau sei nur dazu da, Kinder zu bekommen und die Höhle zu hüten. Aber Rhona heißt nicht umsonst die Furchtlose, sie wäscht ihren Jungs gehörig den Feuer speienden Kopf. Und da wäre auch noch dieser Barbar Vigholf der Abscheuliche. Der sollte besser einen großen Bogen um die feurige Drachin machen. Denn es könnte sein, dass sie dem attraktiven Vigholf sonst ordentlich einheizt – und das Spiel nach ihren eigenen Regeln spielt …
