Book Synopsis The Mercies by : Kiran Millwood Hargrave
Download or read book The Mercies written by Kiran Millwood Hargrave and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women in an Arctic village must survive a sinister threat after all the men are wiped out by a catastrophic storm in this "gripping novel inspired by a real-life witch hunt. . . . Beautiful and chilling" (Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe). When the women take over, is it sorcery or power? Finnmark, Norway, 1617. Twenty-year-old Maren Magnusdatter stands on the craggy coast, watching the skies break into a sudden and reckless storm. All forty of the village’s men were at sea, including Maren’s father and brother, and all forty are drowned in the otherworldly disaster. For the women left behind, survival means defying the strict rules of the island. They fish, hunt, and butcher reindeer—which they never did while the men were alive. But the foundation of this new feminine frontier begins to crack with the arrival of Absalom Cornet, a man sent from Scotland to root out alleged witchcraft. Cornet brings with him the threat of danger—and a pretty, young Norwegian wife named Ursa. As Maren and Ursa are drawn to one another in ways that surprise them both, the island begins to close in on them, with Absalom's iron rule threatening Vardø's very existence. "The Mercies has a pull as sure as the tide. It totally swept me away to Vardø, where grief struck islanders stand tall in the shadow of religious persecution and witch burnings. It's a beautifully intimate story of friendship, love and hope. A haunting ode to self-reliant and quietly defiant women." (Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize winning author of Shuggie Bain)

Book excerpt: Death is so boring. At least that's how fifteen-year-old Callie finds being stuck "in between," until the day she discovers someone has left a newborn baby in the old gypsy wagon (or "vardo" as it's also called") in Wailing Woods. Determined to save the child, she tracks down Laney, the girl who barely survived the same car wreck that took Callie's life three years earlier (and whose mother's recklessness caused the accident in the first place). A mysterious connection between the two girls allows Callie to lead Laney into the spooky forest to save the baby. Laney hopes the newborn will finally help her family heal, but when Callie's grieving parents end up with custody, emotional wounds are deepened. Callie pieces together the mystery connecting the baby, the fleeting psychic powers Laney has had since the accident, and the too-good-to-be-true new guy in town. Could there be a reason Callie hasn't moved on to whatever comes next? Could she be the only one capable of putting things right?

'Three women's fight for survival in a time of madness' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies Norway, 1662. A dangerous time to be a woman, when even dancing can lead to accusations of witchcraft. After recently widowed Zigri's affair with the local merchant is discovered, she is sent to the fortress at Vardø to be tried as a witch. Zigri's daughter Ingeborg sets off into the wilderness to try to bring her mother back home. Accompanying her on this quest is Maren - herself the daughter of a witch - whose wild nature and unconquerable spirit gives Ingeborg the courage to venture into the unknown, and to risk all she has to save her family. Also captive in the fortress is Anna Rhodius, once the King of Denmark's mistress, who has been sent in disgrace to the island of Vardø. What will she do - and who will she betray - to return to her privileged life at court? These Witches of Vardø are stronger than even the King. In an age weighted against them, they refuse to be victims. They will have their justice. All they need do is show their power.

Download or read book Raghi the Shadow written by Isa Day and published by Pongu Text & Design GmbH. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When desperate courage is rewarded with a magical chance The master of Eterna's assassins' guild rules with sadistic cruelty over his enslaved apprentices. Only Raghi has never submitted to him—and paid a terrible price. His latest provocation forces him to flee. Raghi sneaks down the Stairs of Eternity into the past and finds refuge with a mysterious clan of travelers, an ancient magic people whose positive philosophy clashes painfully with his suicidal recklessness. They introduce him to the joys of life and friendship, not realizing that Raghi carries deathly hidden dangers. Unscrupulous powers, however, take immediate notice. Raghi has to face up to his destiny at once. Otherwise, he damns his new family and the entire multiverse to eternal darkness—and forfeits every chance of an extraordinary love right from the legends of time immemorial. __ In Isa Day's touching time travel fantasy series The Stairs of Eternity seemingly lost (adult) protagonists are given a second chance. To do so, they have to travel to long gone times and forgotten worlds and overcome great danger. Their courage is rewarded with love and a community that takes them in. The suspenseful yet heart-warming stories invite you to dream. They offer intelligent, fairytale-like and magical high fantasy for adults with multi-faceted protagonists and carefully crafted worlds. Other ingredients include time travel, a mysterious guild of murderers with a sinister master, romance, humor and -- as always in Isa Day's books -- lovable (magical) animals. All books of the series The Stairs of Eternity are self-contained in one or two volumes, have different protagonists and can be read on their own. Readers who remain faithful to the series will discover larger contexts over the course of the books and meet beloved characters again. "Raghi the Shadow" is the first volume of a dilogy. It tells of the search for the meaning of life and the courage to accept an extraordinary fate.

Surrounded by inhumane working conditions at the mine, senseless death, and overwhelming greed, miners begin disappearing.

Download or read book Mind is the Ride written by Jet McDonald and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jet McDonald cycled four thousand miles to India and back, he didn’t want to write a straightforward account. He wanted to go on an imaginative journey. The age of the travelogue is over: today we need to travel inwardly to see the world with fresh eyes. Mind is the Ride is that journey, a pedal-powered antidote to the petrol-driven philosophies of the past. The book takes the reader on a physical and intellectual adventure from West to East using the components of the bike as a metaphor for philosophy, which is woven into the cyclist's experience. Each chapter is based around a single component, and as Jet travels he adds new parts and new philosophies until the bike is 'built'; the ride to India is completed; and the relationship between mind, body and bicycle made apparent.
