Book excerpt: When demons bear down on Cormyr with great force, the heir to the Obarskyr throne must assume a different title: heroine The seer Alaundo prophesied that seven scourges would sweep Cormyr away in ruin. For centuries, the royal family has stood watch against that day and devoted their lives to the protection of the realm. But in a time when their ancient guardians slumber and their most loyal servants disappear, when a terrible evil prepares to sweep down upon their home . . . Who will protect the royal family? It falls to Tanalasta, the eldest Obarskyr princess and heir to the throne, to find a way to defeat the ghazneths—the demon forms of old Cormyrean traitors—who now threaten to raze the kingdom to the ground. Under the tutelage of Court Wizard Vangerdhast, Tanalasta has come to hone her magical abilities. But will they be enough to save everyone and everything she has ever loved?

Download or read book Empire Express written by David Haward Bain and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 1432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, the building of the transcontinental railroad was the nineteenth century's most transformative event. Beginning in 1842 with a visionary's dream to span the continent with twin bands of iron, Empire Express captures three dramatic decades in which the United States effectively doubled in size, fought three wars, and began to discover a new national identity. From self--made entrepreneurs such as the Union Pacific's Thomas Durant and era--defining figures such as President Lincoln to the thousands of laborers whose backbreaking work made the railroad possible, this extraordinary narrative summons an astonishing array of voices to give new dimension not only to this epic endeavor but also to the culture, political struggles, and social conflicts of an unforgettable period in American history.
