Fifteen-year-old Joshua Moses has spent his life nestled in the cradle of the Eternal Spring. His commune family doesn’t know he harbors a dark and powerful secret.

However, he senses it stands in jeopardy because of a terrible secret the Reverend has been hiding from his flock. Marshall Hudson is an Army sergeant with a stellar career history and intuition he’s learned never to ignore. As he nears retirement, strange dreams summon him to the south. What lies ahead for him there is unknown, but Marshall has never shied away from danger. He hangs up his uniform and heads to the place in his visions. What he discovers is unlike anything he expected. There is a darkness hidden in Eternal Spring, one hungry for them all. Marshall and Joshua are the only ones capable of stopping this imminent danger. And Joshua has a plan to keep the commune alive. One that uses his power at any cost.
A Paradise Lost

Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Noted for its magnificent architecture and extraordinary history, the Yuanming Yuan is China's most famous imperial garden. The complex was begun in the early eighteenth century, and construction continued over the next 150 years. While Chinese historians, and many Chinese in general, view the garden as the paramount achievement of Chinese architecture and landscape design, almost nothing is known about the Yuanming Yuan in the West. A Paradise Lost is the first comprehensive study of the palatial garden complex in a Western language. Written in a broad and engaging style, Young-tsu Wong brings "the garden of perfect brightness" to life as he leads readers on a grand tour of its architecture and history. Wong begins by inspecting the garden's physical appearance and its architectural elements. He discusses the origin and evolution of these structures and the aesthetics of their design and arrangement. Throughout he refers to maps and original models of individual buildings and other existing gardens of the Ming-Qing period, including the well-preserved Yihe Yuan and the Chengde Summer Mountain Retreat in Rehe. A special feature of the book is its exploration of the activities and daily life of the royal household.
