"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground." —Cersei LannisterOne of the great joys of Game of Thrones is strategizing what bold moves you'd make in this bloody, volatile world—from the comfort of your living room. And one of the great terrors of being a leader is knowing your real world can be just as brutal—and offices bring no comfort.Every day you're presented with opportunities and challenges, and must decide which roads to follow, which risks to confront, when to deny an opportunity and when to pursue the call to adventure. And you won't know whether you'll profit or fail while you're in the thick of it. In Win or Die: Leadership Secrets from Game of Thrones, Bruce Craven brilliantly analyzes the journeys of the best and worst leaders in Westeros, so that leaders can create their own narratives of success.Craven considers beloved characters such as Ned Stark, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and Tyrion Lannister as they make terrible decisions and fatal mistakes, but also achieve incredible victories and surprising successes, learning and growing along their (often bloody) ways. Readers will learn how to face conflict and build resilience, develop contextual and emotional intelligence, develop their vision, and more.This entertaining and accessible guide will show readers how to turn danger into opportunity, even when dragons threaten.

Wind from a Foreign Sky (Tielmaran Chronicles, Book #1)
by Katya ReimannWind from a Foreign Sky is a 380 page conventional fantasy novel first published in 1996 and written by the promising new writer Katya Reimann. This is the first book in the Tielmaran Chronicles, and it precedes A Tremor in the Bitter Earth, published in 1998. The glowing summary by Tom Doherty Associates reads as follows: KATYA REIMANN makes her fantasy debut in this gripping tale of magic and adventure. Sweeping the reader up in the breathless wonder of self-discovery, this talented and exciting young writer brings the dash and drama of new-minted magic to a timeless tale of sweeping power. Three hundred years ago, Prince Clarin of Tielmark made a pact with the gods, winning his nation's independence from the old, corrupt Bissanty empire-provided each subsequent prince renewed the pact by marrying a woman of common blood. Now, Tielmark's Chancellor Heiratikus, himself of mixed Bissanty and Tielmaran ancestry, has conceived a vicious plot to break the pact while fulfilling an ancient prophecy that would return this pastoral nation to Bissanty's iron-fisted rule. For his diabolical plan to succeed, he must rely on a forbidden arcane ritual to create a bride of Glamour, forged from the blood and magic of twin sisters. Gaultry and her sister are the unknowing objects of this heinous plot. When she learns of her sister's capture, Gaultry becomes the linchpin upon which her nation's destiny will turn. As she learns to wield powers she hardly suspects she possesses, readers will marvel at the breathtaking adventure that unfolds in a spectacular succession of magical revelations and heartrending turns of fortune. Wind from a Foreign Sky is the memorable start to a brilliant career.
