Gitte isn't looking forward to becoming Matriarch of her people.
But if all goes well, it won't happen for a long time. She thought she'd already found her true calling. Her life is filled with training mages, Imperium emergencies, and filling in for a leader who refuses to leave their planet.
But there's something she doesn't know.
Some place she's never heard of.
Some reason why she's about to find out about them.
And some one who wants her to step up and become what she's always been:
The Matriarch.
Breaking the taboo starts with you.
Though the pandemic increased the visibility of our whole selves, making virtual vulnerability a more regular workplace occurrence, stigma surrounding mental illness remains. It's easy to ask for time off when you break a leg; it's difficult to share with your boss and colleagues if you're suffering a depressive episode. And, how do those conversations go if you're the boss? You want to say and do the right thing to support your people and your organization-and avoid legal issues.
Research shows that 1 in 4 adults will have a mental health issue in their lifetime, and yet we're still ill-equipped at work to address this common experience. The HBR Guide to Better Mental Health at Work collects advice from a variety of experts on addressing an array of mental health issues in the workplace, from supporting someone in a panic attack to navigating sensitive conversations to creating systemic and structural supports for all employees. Whether you suffer from a chronic condition or you manage someone who does, you'll find practical advice on creating and upholding policies; providing resources, support, and accommodations; and steps you can take to reduce the stigma and improve mental health in the workplace. You'll learn how to:
- Talk about mental health at work
- Make a disclosure
- Take a disability leave
- Cope more effectively with feelings of anxiety and depression
- Manage a chronic condition and your career-successfully
- Give support without overstepping
- Create a more empathetic culture
- Launch an employee resource group to provide support and connection
Arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, with the most trusted brand in business. Packed with how-to essentials from leading experts, the HBR Guides provide smart answers to your most pressing work challenges.
Out in the contested zone between Keerah and Ralnor space, there's a planet. On this planet is someone who needs rescuing.
Thousands of light years from the nearest Imperium planet, it shouldn't be their concern. So why is it? And why does someone in the Imperium even know about this?
Jodie Mills is the go-to marine colonel when you want something done, and the Peck twins are busy. But Jodie has a secret which has now caught up with her.
Someone has to go, and who better than her? But how to motivate her into joining would seem to be the problem.
She needs a team. Or is it the team needs her? They also need a pilot and a mage.
But what kind of group would even contemplate such a mission, so far from anywhere?
Soldiers of Fortune.
Dianne 'Rockmonster' Keaton has come a long way from being a cadet.
She fought in the Trixone war, and then joined the reconstituted 266 Squadron.
She's happy. She has her demons, but what pilot doesn't?
But overall, she's content being where she is.
Sooner or later though, you get called to step up. Especially in the Imperium.
What is going on in the galaxy beyond Kelewan? Someone has to go and find out.
It's time for Rockmonster Rules.
I'm Ivy Clarke. Bartender, best friend, and disbeliever in love. And now I'm in over my head, trying to flip a house all by myself. Thanks, HGTV.
I'm not too proud to admit I need some help. Too bad the only one who can help me is the same man I want to throw out this house's second-story window.
Jackson Gamble and I can't be in the same room together for more than a minute without devolving into a sparring match.
Except for that one time . . .
But enough about that. Jackson's looking for forever, and I don't believe in love, remember?
Get in. Renovate. Get out. Keep my heart firmly in tact. Because it's much easier to fix up a house than a broken heart.
Contains mature themes.

A strange man has been watching Lanie as she leaves high school with her friends every day, but she is reluctant to tell her parents about this unnerving development. An only child, she is close to both of her parents, but her mother's unexplained distrust of others makes Lanie worry about sharing anything distressing with them.
When the stranger ventures closer to home, his intent is revealed, and her parents' carefully concealed past is brought back in all its impossible horror.

This has all the hallmarks of CLASSIC AMERICANA: rural small town life, poverty, dark family problems, love, and friendship. author Paul Russell Parker III
An EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER. author Nikki Landis
Locklyn Gaines isn't her mother, but the residents of her small southeastern Kentucky town don't care. Her mother's secrets are Lock's shame, and every time her drunk stepfather uses her as a punching bag, Lock wonders how much her dying mother knows about what goes on in the crumbling old house her mother's family has lived in for generations. Isaiah Parker hardly remembers life before the first day of kindergarten, before he became obsessed with the serious, dark-haired girl in sunglasses who lives just beyond the field behind his house and rides the school bus with him every day. Protecting Lock had been a fantasy for the child he was, but Isaiah and Lock are nearly finished with high school, and Isaiah knows that now is the time for him to save her. Her stepfather has other plans, however, and one night may be all they have to do whatever it takes to escape and start over again, together.
