Download or read book The Dark Reflections Series: Books 1-3 written by Dean Murray and published by Fir'shan Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the heir to the largest shape shifter pack in North America, Alec Graves has inherited a savage, dangerous life. If he can successfully take over his father's pack, Alec will finally have a chance to make changes for the better, but he wouldn't be the first person to be corrupted by that kind of power. Human teenager Adri Paige is only days away from manifesting a supernatural ability that is as powerful as it is terrifying. Her only hope of survival lies in mastering her gift before it lures dark forces into her life. Separately, Alec and Adri have no chance of seeing another year. Together they just might be able to save the world. This omnibus edition includes the first three novels in the popular Dark Reflections Series (which has received more than 300 4- & 5-star reviews), and is nearly 800 pages of action, danger and romance set in one of the richest, most complex worlds in the genre. This Bundle includes: Bound: The only thing worse than having no family at all, is having a family that is out to hurt you. That would all be bad enough for a normal 17-year-old, but it's even worse for Alec Graves. A shape shifter's pack, his family, is the only thing stopping the other preternatural creatures out there from killing them. Alec's pack isn't just neglectful, he's pretty sure that his father wants him dead. Alec is about to be sent to the front lines of a war between his people and everything else that goes bump in the night. His only chance of survival is to convince everyone around him that he's the perfect soldier, but there are lines that Alec won't cross, not for any price. Hunted: The Perfect Weapon: Adri Paige can visit people inside of their dreams, where they are defenseless. The Ultimate Spy: Adri's power lets her ferret out anyone's secrets and even influence their waking actions. The World's Biggest Prize: Adri's power comes with a price. Dark forces hunt her, hoping to bend her gifts to their purposes. The Real Problem? Adri needs to make it through high school without letting anyone around her figure out her true capabilities—all while crushing on a guy she knows is probably trouble. Ambushed: Adriana Paige has survived not one but two vampire attacks in less than twenty-four hours, and unless she's able to master her ability to share other people's dreams, the attacks are only going to get worse. Taggart has promised to train Adri, but he's got even more enemies than she does and there's no guarantee that he'll be able to keep her from being caught in the crossfire. More than anything else, Adri wants to talk to shape shifter Alec Graves, but he's gone strangely silent. There's no way for Adri to know if that's because he's no longer interested in her, or if it's simply because he's still on the run from his ruthless father, Kaleb. As enemies both new and old start closing in on Adri, she's starting to worry that she might be forced into choosing between Taggart, the man who saved her life, and Alec, the guy to whom she feels inexplicably connected. Publisher's Note: Dean Murray's ongoing Reflection Series has been a stunning success with more than half a million copies in circulation, and a rich, complex world where choices—right or wrong—have real, profound consequences. Unsatisfied with the restrictions imposed on him by writing inside of the conventional series structure, Dean has returned to Sanctuary and the characters so many fans have fallen in love with. The Dark Reflections Series is an alternate timeline set in the same world and featuring many of the same characters as the Reflections Series, but with a profoundly different backstory.

Something so ancient that even creatures who've been alive for hundreds of years have long since discounted this new threat as nothing more than myth. Geoffrey knows even less than most about this rising menace. His memories were all violently ripped away from him, leaving nothing of his past but dreams containing haunting glimpses of a beautiful girl. A chance encounter offers up a possible link to his past, but forces beyond his control are threatening to push him into the middle of a conflict that could sweep away everything, and everyone he’s been fighting so hard to protect. This time, saving the girl may very well cost Geoffrey his soul.

Alec's actions cost her the most important people in her life, and that's something she couldn't forget even if she wanted to. If it was just up to Adri she would stay isolated and nurse her wounds, but the Coun'hij are marshaling their forces for another blow against the Resistance, and without her help more of her friends will die. Alec Graves finally has the power to overthrow the tyrants who've been oppressing the North American shape shifters for hundreds of years, but all it will take is a single misstep to destroy everything he's been working towards—including what's left of his relationship with Adri. His father's reach extends further than anyone in the Resistance realizes and this time Kaleb is targeting Alec and Adri directly.

This book examines the extent to which warfare and other military activities contribute to such degradation. The military capability to damage the environment and to cause ecological disruption has escalated, and there is no sign that the level of conflict in the world is decreasing. The military use and abuse of each of the several major global habitats -- temperate, tropical, desert, arctic, insular, and oceanic -- are evalusated separately in the light of the civil use and abuse of that habitat"--Dust jacket.

Book excerpt: “Condé’s story is rich and colorful and glorious. It sprawls over continents and centuries to find its way into the reader’s heart.” —Maya Angelou “A wondrous novel” (The New York Times) by the winner of the 2018 New Academy Prize (The Alternative Nobel prize in literature) and author of The Gospel According to the New World The year is 1797, and the kingdom of Segu is flourishing, fed by the wealth of its noblemen and the power of its warriors. The people of Segu, the Bambara, are guided by their griots and priests; their lives are ruled by the elements. But even their soothsayers can only hint at the changes to come, for the battle of the soul of Africa has begun. From the east comes a new religion, Islam, and from the West, the slave trade. Segu follows the life of Dousika Traore, the king’s most trusted advisor, and his four sons, whose fates embody the forces tearing at the fabric of the nation. There is Tiekoro, who renounces his people’s religion and embraces Islam; Siga, who defends tradition, but becomes a merchant; Naba, who is kidnapped by slave traders; and Malobali, who becomes a mercenary and halfhearted Christian. Based on actual events, Segu transports the reader to a fascinating time in history, capturing the earthy spirituality, religious fervor, and violent nature of a people and a growing nation trying to cope with jihads, national rivalries, racism, amid the vagaries of commerce.
