The woods are Anna's refuge and her hood a shield against judging eyes. An attack on her hometown, joined by rumors of a rising dictator, thrusts Anna into Lamparien politics. Anna's reluctance holds her prisoner, worried people will mock her burnt face and sealed eye. Hiding isn't an option. The sons of the current Prime are sending men to kill her to lessen their competition.Anna sees only one solution. Travel to the capital and duel to remove the target on her back. The final dual pits her against an elite bodyguard who outmatches her faster than a man can blink. She must now set off on her storm bison to win the peoples' favor. Proving worthy of governing her people is taxing, and a tournament will be her final test. If she doesn't win, then Lampara will see a tomorrow with tyranny on the horizon.

"e;What do I strive to contribute through my passion and visions? I want to help make the world make a little more sense. I want to do work as a critic and journalist that helps increase the audience of work that deserves exposure and explain why it deserves exposure. And eventually I want to create artistic work of my own - in the form of fiction or essays - that, in its own way, does the same thing - work that illustrates connections, puts things in context and, ultimately, makes people realize that for all the insane bullshit that's going on out there (and has been going on out there since time immemorial), the world is really a pretty cool place."e; --AJ

Much more goes into a successful strength training program than reps and load. How one thinks, breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps has just as much impact on a person's vitality as how one moves. Indeed, failing to get the biochemistry right dooms even the best exercise prescription to failure. While most others treat the athlete as though the musculoskeletal system functions as an island. Andrew's approach is Holistic-inclusive of all key systems of the body & mind. Holistic Strength Training for Triathlon will teach the reader what is often neglected in both their pursuit of wellness and their pursuit of a place on the podium.
