The Wrekening: An Ancient Mirrors Tale

by Jayel Gibson


Synergy Books (2006)

ISBN 9781933538303

The Wrekening begins as the Feie named Brengven is searching for a meal and stumbles upon a cavern full of demonic stone soldiers. Opening a rift, he hurries to the fortress of the House of Aaradan where Yavie, the Dragon Queen, and her husband Sorel live with Yavies Guardians. Hearing the news of the discovery of the army and using the knowledge of the Ancient wizard, Grumblton, they decide that something must be done to collect and destroy the Wreken Shards, the heart shards of the Wreken Wyrms, or stubstrata dragons. Knowing that sending guardians would draw too much attention, they call upon the help of Nall and Naeres estranged daughter, Cwen and her friend Talin. At first they refuse, but Brengven, who was sent to convince them, finally succeeds after Caen, who has been good-naturedly stalking Cwen, gets shot by her.

The Feie uses Caen, who is somewhat of a rogue, to convince her by saying that he will take Caen on the quest and that she is too weak to complete the quest. In the end, all three of them accompany Brengven. Several days later, they are traveling through Spire Canyon when Cwen is captured by the Thralax, an intelligent, gorilla-like monster. Just as Cwen is escaping on her own, Caen and Talin come to rescue her and nearly kill the Thralax. Cwen saves it by way of a blood oath, and it is forever sworn to protect her. She steals its vast wealth and continues towards the first of the 13 Wreken Shards.

After Cwen and her group have collected the first and several other Wreken Shards, they get news that one town has already been attacked by a dark army set free from an underground cavern by an evil enchantress. When Nall comes to tell them to speed up, he is nearly killed by Cwen, but nevertheless, they hasten in their task as more armies are awakened and more towns are destroyed. As Caen tries to worm his way into Cwens heart, Klaed, the son of a councilman who like Cwen and Talin refused to be guardians, shows up and vies for Cwens affections. Can Cwen and her friends recover and destroy all the Wreken Shards before Aedracmorae is destroyed?

In this second book of the Ancient Mirror series, Jayel Gibson not only writes well, but also draws the reader in to this mesmerizing story. The Wrekening is a book for teens that would enjoy reading about fantasy, dragons and dark armies.

Sorel Women's Tootega Shearling Lined Boot

The Tootega boot from Sorel will be the best looking and best feeling winter wardrobe accessory you've ever experienced. The soft suede upper is accented by stylish buckle detail surrounding the vamp, and luxuriously lined with faux fur to keep you cozy, while Sorel's warm weather technology will feel like you're melting the winter frost with every step you take.
Customer Review: Woman's Sorel Boots
I love these boots. They're comfortable and waterproof. I wear them with bare feet because the insides are so soft and warm. My only negative comments are that the red rover color was more a burnt sienna...more brown than red. And the soles of these boots collect whatever you might walk on that isn't snow... However, I'd buy them again, just in a different color.
Customer Review: Warm, comfortable, cute
I really like my Sorel Tootegas. I have them in the honey color and was considering other color options, but am happy with the color now. Some reviewers have mentioned the sizing as being small, i.e. going a half size bigger, but i do not find this to be true at all. I went with my normal size and they feel very spacious still. The boots are made wide, so unless you cinch the straps really well when you put them on, it feels as though they were going to fall off your feet. Although I am very happy with the warmth and style, it did take me a while to get used to the very wide look. I have received several compliments on them however, and feel like they do their job of keeping my feet dry, warm and comfortable in the lowest temperatures i have ever experienced! (-10 C, snow, sleet and ice) The only drawback is really the style of closure. It is a hassle to get them on so they don't feel like they are going to fall off again and to open them (especially with cold hands). That is the reason I won't rate them with 5 stars.

Sorel Toddler/Little Kid Snow Command Boot

Keep your toddler protected from wintry weather with the insulated Snow Command boot from Sorel. Featuring an extended rubber shell and lugged outsole for traction, they'll provide reassuring warmth, dryness, and steadiness to little feet.
Customer Review: tight boots
You may want to order one size larger than your toddler's shoe size, as these boots do not have much wiggle room. They are difficult to slide on without a zipper or drawstring to allow for some give. The construction of the boot seems warm and strong.
Customer Review: Warm and cozy for little feet.
My 4 yo usually wears a size 11 1/2 wide width shoe. I bought a size 12 Sorel boot and it fits very nicely. We tried it out in the snow and it kept her feet warm and dry. We didn't have any problems sliding these on her feet. They're well-made and solid -- cute, too, I might add.


Buying snow boots for children or for boys, girls or even for little kids? Good thing about snow boots is they don't differ much and have almost the common features as women's snow boots and men's snow boots. But you need to make a difference between winter boots and snow boots as they are worn in wet conditions too, unlike the former.

Winter boots specifically cater to long time snow wearing in little wet or muddy condition and rarely offer features commonly found in snow boots. Consider the following points when buying snow boots.

1. Height of snow boots must be sufficient to prevent snow entry. Ideally they extend beyond ankles but usually above the pants' hemline. Generally they are 7.9" tall for both women and men.

2. The uppers need to have leathers or synthetic leathers with seams taped or sealed for wetness protection. Fleeced cuffs with or without drawcords prevent snow entry to protect from cold and frost bite. Alternately, North Face Boots and Salomon Boots have tested successfully with soft acrylic wools in place of wools. Sorel Boots offers vulcanized rubber toe and side covers.

3. Look for soles; 100% waterproofing needs to be the only invariable option. Consider ease of cleaning also, most of them can be just hosed off.

4. Check for the removable thermofelt inner boots which you may need for long treks.

5. Wear the snow boots before making the decision. Sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from women's snow boots to men's snow boots. You need to be carefully even while changing your old brand; for example, Merrell Boots' size may differ from others'.

Occasionally, uppers with full grain leathers are PU coated for water proofing. Don't forget to check for breathability by trying it before you buy. Best time to buy snow boots is early spring when the cold is still setting.

For centuries people have dug for them, went in debt for them, some have even stole for them. The incomparable diamond has caused the world over to fall in love with them, the temptation and desire to own them really is simply irresistible.

There is nothing a woman can wear that makes her feel more beautiful than diamonds. When men wear them they might not feel beautiful, but it does give them a feeling of power and success that they do not get from wearing any other gem stone.

The power of the diamond to alter someones state of mind is magical. No one can really explain how they weave this unmatchable spell over people.

Diamonds were first discovered in India several thousand years ago, but did not begin to infiltrate Europe until around the 12th century. In the beginning of this era, only the kings and queens of royalty had access to diamonds.

It was not until later that other minor peerage began to wear them. The first commoner recorded to have worn diamonds was Agnes Sorel. She was a well known mistress to King Charles VII of France in the middle of the 15th century.

Until Agnes, there were laws forbidding anyone but nobles and clergy to wear the mystifying stones, but at that time if you were a mistress of the king, in some cases you might be above the law. In her case, since the diamonds she received was from the king himself, so no one dared to question her.

When in the 1870's the famous mines of South Africa were discovered, the diamonds popularity with average people began an escalation that has never stopped and has gained momentum ever since. Of coarse, the largest and most famous diamonds are still associated with only royalty and the very rich.

Those of us with average incomes are generally lucky to own a diamond of one to three carets. Even diamonds of less than one caret are treasured by the men and women who own them. These smaller diamonds are commonly given as gifts and are always received with great gratitude.

It seems that with a diamond, the size of the stone is not necessarily a factor. It is more just the fact that you are wearing one that gives a great satisfaction. Everyone would love to own bigger diamonds, but if you can not afford bigger, then smaller will do

Customer Review: Good but not great
I like these a lot, I have used them for chores, hunting, getting around the slopes, and working in. However, over time they do not keep me as warm as I hoped. I think there is an upgraded liner? I may try that. Also, comfy, but not a lot of support, i wouldn't want to be carrying or moving anything large wearing these. They are definatly quality (except the pull tab on the back broke on mine). I bought them wanting something all around, and they are. IF you are going to be working in them all the time, get work boots. If you want something for a long hunt, maybe get some hunting boots. Also, not a lot of traction on ice.
Customer Review: Perfect Boot

The other deck of XVIII century was described by Breitkopf: "this deck has four suits: Ven (civil), Woo (military), Co (science), Juan (0cademy), nine cards each suit. Each card has a corresponding title within this suit. In such a way we have the most important ranks of the civil hierarchy and in particular the most important officers from minor to senior".

Prunner has distinguished three main elements in the Chinese cards of XVII: literary quotations; toasts and wishes; suits in the form of monetary denomination (from hundred thousands and tens of thousands to hundreds and coins). Later on the officials and toasts disappeared from the cards and only citation and money remained. The most famous Chinese cards are money cards. The value of the card is determined by the denomination of the money cord.

The most ancient Japanese cards were produced from the shells and were intended for literary entertainments of the educated public. The lines from the poems were depicted on the shells. The aim of the game was to correctly combine the shells (to compose a poem). This game was a predecessor of the game called "one hundred poets". The classical collection of poems of hundred of poets of VII-XIII centuries was presented on these cards in the following manner: one card with an image of the poet, the other one with a line or lines from his poem. The players should properly match the cards.

Heraldic cards.

Their appearance in XVII century is associated with the name of Claude Oronce Fine, who published one of the first decks with coat of arms under the pseudonym of de Brainville in 1660 in Lion: Jeu de Blason, Father Mnestrier, who issued the same deck of cards a couple years later, tells about the first unexpected troubles of Fine: some princes were seriously offended that they were depicted as jacks and aces. The cards were confiscated by the magistrate and Fine had to change the pictures. However, soon the author of the deck became very successful and the cards were reissued with new coat of arms. A community of young noblemen called "Armorists" was formed in Naples; they studied coat of arms of numerous noble families. From Naples the idea reached Venice. In 1682 Benedictine, Dom Kasimir Frescott, offered to the Doge of Venice and to the senate Venetian the deck with coat of arms of Venetian noblemen. The supplementary book to the deck said: "Virtue in game or famous Venetians from patrician families".

Decks of historic gambling cards.

The subject of the pictures on the cards were historical personalities. Depicting of the heroes of the ancient times (Alexander the Great, Caesar, Carl the Great, etc.) as card kings, antique goddesses and great women (Athena, Jeanne d'Arc, Judith and others.) as queens, outstanding brave men (Hector, Decius, Lancelot, etc.) as jacks - became a tradition almost from the very birth of the cards production in Europe. The artists painted the card characters similar to real life modern monarchs, commanders and their ladyloves of their times (Karl VII, Agns Sorel etc.). For example, in time of the Great French revolution, the monarchs on the cards were replaced with free-thinkers and tyrant fighters: Voltaire, Hannibal, Horace, La Fontaine, Molire, Rousseau, Saint-Simon. Many cards of great art value were painted by the famous artists and engravers on the order of the high and mighties. So, the cards present a priceless historical material that enables to conduct numerous researches and studies.
