When Theo’s mother returns from her latest archaeological dig bearing the Heart of Egypt--a legendary amulet belonging to an ancient tomb--Theo learns that it comes inscribed with a curse so black and vile that it threatens to crumble the British Empire from within and start a war too terrible to imagine.

Theo will have to call upon everything she’s ever learned in order to prevent the rising chaos from destroying her country--and herself!

Book Synopsis Serpents of the Abyss by : S J Sanders
Download or read book Serpents of the Abyss written by S J Sanders and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a citizen on United Earth doesn't guarantee a life one wants. For Lori Straford, born into the lowest caste of citizens-the pleasure arts strata of their society-it is an inescapable fate which she can only hope to better by enlisting as a spa attendant and masseuse on one of the luxury world colonies under the purview of Darvel Exploration Corporation. When she is talked into working on one of their mining planets for a year with the promise of a hefty bonus and to be transferred to her choice planet after more non-gratas can be sent over, it is too good of an opportunity to pass up. It will be tiring work but as long as she plays everything by the book then she will have everything she has ever dreamed of. Until everything goes wrong. Strange predators on the loose around the colony stationed on an inhospitable world is bad enough, but when a mining accident leaves Lori buried deep within the mines, she is vulnerable to the very real dangers that surround her in a hidden world. Her will to live is challenged and her ambitions tested when a monster of the depths takes her to be his and makes her question everything that she thought she knew and wanted. Slengral is a hunter, an unmated male forced to live a solo existence in the cave systems of the Algatha, separate from the female-ruled civilization of the shinara, he refused to submit to the females of his species as a breeding partner, unwilling to settle for less than a mate. When a wingless and tail-less alien female enters his territory, he doesn't hesitate to lay claim on her. He cannot protect her himself, however. Enlisting two rejected solitary males, Daskh and Kehtal, to aid in her care, they must learn to live a life different than they have ever known and risk losing it all when the human colony takes back the female that means more to them than life itself. Warning this book has graphic sex and violence that may not be suitable for all readers. Although this book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, it is part one of a duet (this dealing with the conflict with the human colony while the second book, Serpents of the Night, releasing later this year deals with the shinara).

But she is not respected and trusted by all, and when she tries to help a sick nomad child, the frightened clan kills her dreamsnake.

Book Synopsis A Mate of Convenience by : Marisa Jags
Download or read book A Mate of Convenience written by Marisa Jags and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lystra, I feel the pull to her too," Jordan spoke up making me fall back to my seat. "I feel the pull to the both of you." The last sentence was a bit softer. "What does that mean?" I wasn't sure if I was shouting or whispering. My body went cold. I felt as if my soul was trying to escape the confinement of my skin, as if I was floating outside my own body, but still glued to the table. "Lystra, you have to understand, you and Noella were once one being. The mate of a twin can feel the connection to both of them." "But do you feel the mate bond, Noella?" I asked my sister who still hadn't let Jordan's hand go. What a fool I was, they both were holding hands not just her. "I feel something more, I love him." She defended. "I love her too." Jordan's words echoed in my head. "She isn't your mate. I am." I argued. "No Lystra, she is my mate. I get to choose. I chose her." I heard him, but the words 'I love her too' in his voice was still repeating in my head. Too much to process with the sound of blood in my head. ***** This is the story of Lystra Miller's life after she was rejected, but before finding that happily ever after. A she-wolf whose mate rejected her for her human sister. In a universe where only one in a set of twins is blessed with the ability to shift, this she-wolf lost her mate to her own human twin. Lystra watches her sister and mate live their epic love story for years, then tries to move on when they give birth to a son. Her life is full of tragic and bittersweet moments, but yes she finds love along the way. She would learn not all choices are good ones, but every choice is one you can decide to live by. She will not be A Mate of Convenience. Not even to her mate when he admits to his mistakes. Learn how she overcomes rejection. **** This is a stand-alone book.

Download or read book Witches of East End written by Melissa de la Cruz and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the highly addictive and bestselling Blue Bloods series, with almost 3 million copies sold, comes a new novel, Melissa de la Cruz's first for adults, featuring a family of formidable and beguiling witches. The three Beauchamp women-Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid-live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. But they are harboring a mighty secret-they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. And finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any heartache. For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. But then Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what dark forces are working against them. With a brand-new cast of characters, a fascinating and fresh world to discover, and a few surprise appearances from some of the Blue Blood fan favorites, this is a page-turning, deliciously fun, magical summer read fraught with love affairs, witchcraft, and an unforgettable battle between good and evil. "A sexy, magical romp, sure to bring de la Cruz a legion of new fans." -- Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of The Otherworld series

Book Synopsis The Dragon in the West by : Daniel Ogden
Download or read book The Dragon in the West written by Daniel Ogden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.
