It couldnÕt possibly be heard, or if heard, would never be heeded. ÒI serve You, Ò he said softly, and dropped his offering into the pit.Ó\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrandfather, expelled from his native land as a young man and facing death from exposure, is rescued by beings of the sky and transported to a world of strange beasts, powerful women, violent men, and telepathic 'demons'. He meets Grenoth, a hoarder of secrets, Ilakein, a master of ancient wisdom who advises him to 'learn a way', and attempts to open his mind to forgotten realms, and sweet Lyta, a visionary and dreamer. Although he is absorbed into this new society, Grandfather is haunted by a desire to return home, so he learns divination, practices dreaming, and scours the landscape for a route back to the valley of his birth, until at last he learns the value of all things unseen, learns to let go of desire, and remembers who he is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerald R Stanek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44335675965601,"sku":"9781458332561","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1qzjdq6n-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748296651","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-eighth-house","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
