The Last Breath by Osman Nuri Topbas

Product Description
Each breath we take takes us closer to our last; and the last breath will be a lucid mirror reflecting the life we would have led up till then.

Each person is to his own light or darkness to the eternal land. The way we die, after all, reflects the way we have lived and the way we are resurrected reflects the way we have died.

What are we to store in our bags before that moment of no return looms? How are we to prepare for our final breath? How are we to call ourselves into account while we still have the opportunity?

The book which seeks to answer the question posed by Quran ‘to where do you flee?’ by again resorting to the Holy Book itself, over and above the last breath, talks about dhikrullah vibrant in the universe and the importance of dawn, contemplation and the Quran, inviting to the good and the Truth, repentance and tears, the morals of trade and how to be an exemplary person of iman.

If the aim of life is to arrive in the presence of the Almighty with a clean slate, then it is imperative to lead a life that would allow His Name to roll of our tongues as we exhale our final breath.

The Sorrow King by Andersen Prunty

Product Description
The papers call it “The Suicide Virus.” The teenagers of Gethsemane, Ohio, are killing themselves at an alarming rate.

Steven Wrigley is trying to survive his senior year of high school, still reeling from the death of his mother and adjusting to life with his father. Along the way, he meets a girl who becomes another kind of obsession: Elise Devon.

Elise’s secrets keep her distanced from everyone. She has a special place she calls the Obscura. She goes there when she is depressed or angry. The Obscura makes her feel like nothing she’s ever felt before. When she loses herself to the Obscura, she fears she also gives herself to something much darker, something much more powerful. Something calling itself the Sorrow King.

Who is the Sorrow King?

He is carved from wood and bone.

He smells like wax, dead leaves, and memories.

He travels by moonlight and drinks the sorrow of others.

Can love exact vengeance on a monster made from madness, depression, and misery? Or will the Sorrow King bleed the town dry before satiating himself and moving on?
