Download or read book Half-Blood written by Jennifer L. Armentrout and published by Jennifer L. Armentrout. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published October 2011 Now includes bonus novella DAIMON The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals-well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1: Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem-staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Book Synopsis Cogewea, the Half Blood by : Mourning Dove
Download or read book Cogewea, the Half Blood written by Mourning Dove and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first known novels by a Native American woman, Cogewea (1927) is the story of a half-blood girl caught between the worlds of Anglo ranchers and full-blood reservation Indians; between the craven and false-hearted easterner Alfred Densmore and James LaGrinder, a half-blood cowboy and the best rider on the Flathead; between book learning and the folk wisdom of her full-blood grandmother. The book combines authentic Indian lore with the circumstance and dialogue of a popular romance; in its language, it shows a self-taught writer attempting to come to terms with the rift between formal written style and the comfort-able rhythms and slang of familiar speech.
Book Synopsis America's Half-blood Prince by : Steve Sailer
Download or read book America's Half-blood Prince written by Steve Sailer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics
Download or read book Darkblood Academy written by G K DeRosa and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Darkblood-oops, I mean Darkhen Academy. There are three rules to survive the elite supernatural school: 1. Do not talk or even look at The Seven, the uber-powerful supes that rule the academy. 2. Never go into the Fae forest on a full moon... or else. 3. And most definitely do not fall for one of the extremely hot and unattainable instructors. Too bad I've never really been a rule follower... A year ago the supernaturals came out of the closet on primetime TV, and about a minute ago I, Luna Hallows, found out I was one of them-well, a half-blood anyway. So here I am at Darkhen Academy, the only human and no magical abilities to speak of. The only reason I'm here is because of my father-a man I didn't even know existed until now. He's crazy powerful, and they think I could be too. But what could I possibly contribute to an exclusive squad of dragon shifters, fae, witches, and vampires? I guess we're about to find out because the merging of the supernatural and human realms isn't going as smoothly as planned. If word gets out that humans are no longer safe from the supes, our worlds will once again be closed off. It's up to us to stop that from happening. ***This is an upper YA/NA crossover with schmexy supernatural guys and is best suited for age 16 and over. Be warned, the steaminess factor does increase through the course of the series! ***Darkblood Academy is set within the world of Hitched but it's not necessary to read that series first to enjoy this one.
Book Synopsis Camp Half-Blood Confidential by : Rick Riordan
Download or read book Camp Half-Blood Confidential written by Rick Riordan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A companion guide to THE TRIALS OF APOLLO series, set in the world of PERCY JACKSON. Camp Half-Blood FYI is the funny insider's guide to the demigod training camp in Long Island, narrated by none other than Percy Jackson himself, and other favourite characters will be heard from, too. In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as "What is this place?" and "Do I get to keep the T-shirt?" Newbies can check out the section on the Divine Cabins, read up on Magical Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas. But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.

Book excerpt: An ancient curse, massive monsters, and a deadly dance with the CIA. I'm Seth, a wizard born with the power to transmute matter, wielding a gift that should have made life a breeze. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and everything I touch withers into ruin. It all began with our accursed bloodline—the last will of a dying witch that has been killing my ancestors for centuries. Now it's my turn, but I'm not going down without a fight. In a world still struggling to accept the existence of the arcane, I make my living as an arcanologist. Studying lost temples, ancient relics, and buried tombs, I'll go wherever it takes, bargain with gods, and deal with devils if it means I'll get my life back. After years of tireless hunting, I've unearthed an artifact—a relic tied to the malevolent witch who cursed my bloodline. It holds the key to my salvation, my very survival. But standing in my way is an unyielding force—the clandestine grip of the CIA. The mask probably belongs in a museum, but I'm going to have to steal it first. Join Seth for a pulse-pounding journey filled with ancient powers, modern intrigues, and a lavish heaping of magic and mythical beasts. This complete series will keep you turning pages long after you should have gone to sleep and leave you feeling giddy that you did.

But Kealin, a young half-elf training to be a Sacred Blade, and his three siblings, are forbidden to go. They are not ready, or so they're told. But Kealin's lineage has a dark secret and the High Council of Urlas fears what he may become... Kealin is about to learn that secret and in the catacysm emerging, Urlas will wish they had embraced it. When the soothsayer of Urlas tells Kealin that doom comes for all that left for the war, he and his siblings set off on what may be a one way journey to the edge of the world. Darkness is upon them and a specter that dwells between the borders of the living realms has been waiting for them. The Rogue Elf awakens... but is it too late to save those he loves? A brave group of companions await you: Kealin- a defiant half-blood that has little care of the purist High Elves and their beliefs. Eager, skilled, and sometimes a bit cocky, he fights with furious zeal to protect those he cares about. Alri- The only female elf in the group. Her powers are far beyond her brothers. As a potent magic-user training under the best of the arcane masters, she knows much about her deadly art but necromancy is her natural gift. With her, a power unlike that taught in her homeland is just within her grasp yet she doesn't realize it yet. Taslun- A son after his father's image. Strong, loyal to Urlas, and at 800 years old nearly ready to go before the High Council and be christened as a Blade of Urlas. He is the last anyone expects to become defiant. As the oldest sibling, he naturally desires to look after the young ones. They'll need his skills if they are all to survive. Calak- The youngest of the males and with equal qualities of being cocky and honorable. While he is capable with a sword, his true gift is in his love of astrology, history, and ancient knowledge. Where he lacks in fighting ability he makes up for what his more 'violence-centric' brothers see as 'boring'. Valrin- Not an elf but also not a normal human. However, the greatest mystery to the half-elves is his level of knowledge of the vast Glacial Seas and what he seems to know but not say about their quest. A loyal companion that has known of the elven lands and the coming darkness on the seas far before the half-elves left their home, he is the key to much to come. He commands the Aela Sunrise, a not-so-simple sailing vessel crafted by the ancient Sea Peoples of the North.

Book Synopsis The Half-Blood by : William J. Scheick
Download or read book The Half-Blood written by William J. Scheick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The half-blood—half Indian, half white—is a frequent figure in the popular fiction of nineteenth-century America, for he (or sometimes she) served to symbolize many of the conflicting cultural values with which American society was then wrestling. In literature, as in real life the half-blood was a product of the frontier, embodying the conflict between wilderness and civilization that haunted and stirred the American imagination. What was his identity? Was he indeed "half Indian, half white, and half devil"—or a bright link between the races from which would emerge a new American prototype? In this important first study of the fictional half-blood, William J. Scheick examines works ranging from the enormously popular "dime novels" and the short fiction of such writers as Bret Harte to the more sophisticated works of Irving, Cooper, Poe, Hawthorne, and others. He discovers that ambivalence characterized nearly all who wrote of the half-blood. Some writers found racial mixing abhorrent, while others saw more benign possibilities. The use of a "half-blood in spirit"—a character of untainted blood who joined the virtues of the two races in his manner of life—was one ingenious literary strategy adopted by a number of writers, Scheick also compares the literary portrayal of the half-blood with the nineteenth-century view of the mulatto. This pioneering examination of an important symbol in popular literature of the last century opens up a previously unexplored repository of attitudes toward American civilization. An important book for all those concerned with the course of American culture and literature.
