Book of the Week
In a galaxy powered by the current, everyone has a gift. Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power—something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows. Akos is the son of a farmer and an oracle from the frozen nation-planet of Thuvhe. Protected by his unusual currentgift, Akos is generous in spirit, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive—no matter what the cost. Then Akos is thrust into Cyra's world, and the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. Will they help each other to survive, or will they destroy one another?

PUZZLE OF THE WEEK This week's question:
To enter the water, why do scuba divers sit on the edge of the boat and fall out backwards? Last Week's Question:
A man stabbed his wife to death. He was alone with his victim before and after the crime. To throw the police of the scent, he suddenly decided to leave false fingerprints on the murder weapon. How did he do it? Last week's answer: The man put his wife's big-toe print on the knife and left it beside the body. He could have used his own toe-print but that could have been later traced to him. Once his wife was buried, the "fingerprints" could never be traced. Congratulations to the following people who got it right!
