Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third book in The Song of Shattered Sands series--an epic fantasy with a desert setting, filled with rich worldbuilding and pulse-pounding action. Since the Night of Endless Swords, a bloody battle the Kings of Sharakhai narrowly won, the kings have been hounding the rebels known as the Moonless Host. Many have been forced to flee the city, including Çeda, who discovers that the King of Sloth is raising his army to challenge the other kings' rule. When Çeda finds the remaining members of the Moonless Host, now known as the thirteenth tribe, she sees a tenuous existence. Çeda hatches a plan to return to Sharakhai and free the asirim, the kings' powerful, immortal slaves. The kings, however, have sent their greatest tactician, the King of Swords, to bring Çeda to justice for her crimes. But the once-unified front of the kings is crumbling. The surviving kings vie quietly against one another, maneuvering for control over Sharakhai. Çeda hopes to use that to her advantage, but whom to trust? Any of them might betray her. As Çeda works to lift the shackles from the asirim and save the thirteenth tribe, the kings of Sharakhai, the scheming queen of Qaimir, the ruthless blood mage, Hamzakiir, and King of Swords all prepare for a grand clash that may decide the fate of all.

Book excerpt: The scion of Tingu. The daughter of the deva'shi. Together they will either reunite Tingu and Parthalan, or tear them apart. Leran has not had a simple life. Abandoned by his mother as soon as he was weaned, he was raised by his father Lormac, the legendary Lord of Tingu, until his untimely death during the Battle for Teg'urnan. That left Leran's sole surviving family as his father's mate, Asherah, his second mother whom he loved more than the woman who bore him. For the good of Tingu, Leran kept Asherah at arm's length. He needed to prove himself as a worthy successor of his father, and the only way he knew how was on the battlefield… and he needed to do it alone. When he's invited to a mating ceremony in Thurnda he almost declines, but to do so would show weakness. Therefore, Leran arrives at the frivolous event—and learns things that shock both his mind and his heart. It's not easy being the daughter of famous parents, and a second daughter at that. All of Ember's life has been lived in her family's long shadow, and she sees their journey to Thurnda as a way to finally be herself. She wasn't expecting to meet long lost family members, or face down a horde of orcs with little more than a borrowed sword. She definitely wasn't expecting to meet anyone like Leran. And as for Asherah, Queen of Parthalan and Lady of Tingu, she finally regained her memory. She almost wished she hadn't. ELFSONG—Book Five of The Chronicles of Parthalan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To find out why reasonable people are drawn to the seemingly bizarre practices of magic and witchcraft, Tanya Luhrmann immersed herself in the secret lives of Londoners who call themselves magicians. She came to know them as friends and equals and was initiated into various covens and magical groups. She explains the process through which once-skeptical individuals—educated, middle-class people, frequently of high intelligence—become committed to the ideas behind witchcraft and find magical ritual so compellingly persuasive. This intriguing book draws some disturbing conclusions about the ambivalence of belief within modern urban society.

Download or read book The Locrian Maidens written by James Redfield and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athens dominates textbook accounts of ancient Greece. But was it, for the Greeks themselves, a model city-state or a creative, even a corrupt, departure from the model? Or was there a model? This book reveals Epizephyrian Locri--a Greek colony on the Adriatic coast of Italy--as a third way in Greek culture, neither Athens nor Sparta. Drawing on a wide range of literary and archaeological evidence, James Redfield offers a fascinating account of this poorly understood Greek city-state, and in particular the distinctive role of women and marriage therein. Redfield devotes much of the book to placing Locri within a more general account of Greek culture, particularly with the institution of marriage in relation to private property, sexual identity, and the fate of the soul. He begins by considering the annual practice of sending two maidens from old-world Locris, the putative place of origin of the Italian Locrians, to serve in the temple of Athena at Ilion, finding here some key themes of Locrian culture. He goes on to provide a richly detailed overview of the Italian city; in a set of iconographic essays he suggests that marriage was seen in Locri as a life transformation akin to the eternal bliss hoped for after death. Nothing less than a general reevaluation of classical Greek society in both its political and theological dimensions, The Locrian Maidens is must reading for students and scholars of classics, while remaining accessible and of particular interest to those in women's studies and to anyone seeking a broader understanding of ancient Greece.

Download or read book Medieval Clothing and Textiles 12 written by Robin Netherton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2016 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines. The studies collected here range through art, artifacts, documentary text, and poetry, addressing both real and symbolic functions of dress and textiles. John Block Friedman breaks new ground with his article on clothing for pets and other animals, while Grzegorz Pac compares depictions of sacred and royal female dress and evaluates attempts to link them together. Jonathan C. Cooper describes the clothing of scholars in Scotland's three pre-Reformation universities and the effects of the Reformation upon it. Camilla Luise Dahl examines references to women's garments in probates and what they reveal about early modern fashions. Megan Cavell focuses on the treatment of textiles associated with the Holy of Holies in Old English biblical poetry. Frances Pritchard examines the iconography, heraldry, and inscriptions on a worn and repaired set of embroidered fifteenth-century orphreys to determine their origin.Finally, Thomas M. Izbicki summarizes evidence for the choice of white linen for the altar and the responsibilities of priests for keeping it clean and in good repair.
