They drive refugees, or slaughter and devour them on their approach to Hilden Maar to the north. Fear and panic fill the city as tightly as those coming to seek refuge inside the cities three concentric walls.The eldest son of the King; Prince Robert Barius and his Battalion of Light Cavalry is the only answer for the Helam. He and his men are the only remaining soldiers alive to stand between the hordes of hobgoblins (Helam) and Hilden Maar. The Emperor is at present powerless to answer, as the Kings Armies cannot cross the Yole River until the early winter finally chills just a little more and ices over The Mighty Yole River. Until then The King has no way of engaging the enemy, or saving his son, let alone swinging far to the north to relieved a well fortified, garrisoned and walled city.Audra does not yet know it, but she will have to find another way to bring relief to the city of Hilden Maar; her home, her family and all that she loves.Deep inside her, Audra longs to leave Hilden Maar, and see the world, even capture it as a maker of maps.

In Gatekeepers, Tammy McMorrow recognizes that teachers live in a world of deafening voices that bombard their profession with opinions, traditions, and mandates. Yet she beckons teachers to be sentinels at the doors of their classrooms - to stand watch and protect their students from any method or practice that could prove harmful. Tammy combines the research of several distinguished educational pioneers with over twenty years of her own classroom experience to question the status quo. The varied topics in this book challenge teachers of all grade levels to critically think about how they teach students' hearts and minds. She invites her readers to join this important conversation and guard the gate. She invites them to be gatekeepers.

In the fall of 1999, New York Times education reporter Jacques Steinberg was given an unprecedented opportunity to observe the admissions process at prestigious Wesleyan University. Over the course of nearly a year, Steinberg accompanied admissions officer Ralph Figueroa on a tour to assess and recruit the most promising students in the country. The Gatekeepers follows a diverse group of prospective students as they compete for places in the nation's most elite colleges. The first book to reveal the college admission process in such behind-the-scenes detail, The Gatekeepers will be required reading for every parent of a high school-age child and for every student facing the arduous and anxious task of applying to college. "[The Gatekeepers] provides the deep insight that is missing from the myriad how-to books on admissions that try to identify the formula for getting into the best colleges...I really didn't want the book to end." —The New York Times
