Book excerpt: Lady Theona McArthur thinks opening The Keeper, a forbidden ancient relic, will help her find the love of her life. At least that's what her dreams tell her. But instead of being shown where this handsome boy with violet eyes lives, she becomes possessed by evil spirits and is imprisoned for violating the laws of Kildaria.Then rumors of war bring a foreign prince to seek an alliance with Kildaria, and Theona is shocked that Prince Gideon Seville is the young man of her dreams, the one with the violet eyes.When Theona is condemned to death for her crimes, three of the evil spirits--the shades of sorcerers long dead--offer her one reprieve. Just learn to use magic she never knew she had to return them to mortality, and they'll set her free. She has no choice but fears that if the sorcerers don't destroy her, the lure of magic could. Her chance meeting with Prince Gideon blossoms into the love of a lifetime, but even together, will they have what it takes to beat the odds against evil sorcerers, vicious dragons, war, and death?
Download or read book Unchained written by M. Francis Schmidt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history people have faced unbelievable, seemingly impossible situations through war, genocide, poverty and political oppression. Yet, even in those dire situations, they have prevailed against all odds through bold action and their deep faith in Christ. "Unchained" takes the reader amidst fourteen centuries of such amazing triumphs...from the Battle of Tours in France through the Battle of Vienna in 1683 into the horrific Armenian genocide of the last century and then through the author's own rousing life. The stories will both astound and inspire you. However, "Unchained" is more than an inspirational history lesson; it contains the amazing fairy tale "The Knight and the Butterfly" that is a vibrant, colorful and moving story for children and adults alike. There is also the probing, somewhat comical story "The Question" that tears both a man and the Bible apart, piece by piece, flaw by flaw, only to have the Godly truth revealed in the end. If that isn't enough for the reader, "Unchained" includes dozens of the author's emotional poems of Poe-like dark and decadent design and then moves through his mystical and thought-provoking oeuvre. The reader is then taken on one last, incredible trip through time with Archangel Gabriel from the beginning of time straight through to the rapture. The epic poem frames the evolution of earth and the beginning and the end of civilization, the struggle between faith and science as well as the dreadful failings and the astounding victories of man. How does the world end? Read it and find out. Even Nostradamus would raise an eyebrow. However, "Unchained" is more than a collection of different tales and poetry. The astute reader will find common threads through all the stories, both in the characters and the action; moreover, that the real and the fictional are all inter-related. Discerning booklovers will recognize that, in fact, "Unchained" is one singular opus.

Book Synopsis Fallen Dragon by : Peter F. Hamilton
Download or read book Fallen Dragon written by Peter F. Hamilton and published by Aspect. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From science fiction master Peter F. Hamilton comes a standalone novel that is “a fascinating, compulsively readable clash of hardware and ideals”, political intrigue, and space opera at its best (Kirkus Reviews (starred review)). In the distant future, corporations have become sustainable communities with their own militaries, and corporate goals have essentially replaced political ideology. On a youthful, rebellious impulse, Lawrence joined the military of a corporation that he now recognizes to be ruthless and exploitative. His only hope for escape is to earn enough money to buy his place in a better corporation. When his platoon is sent to a distant colony to quell a local resistance effort, it seems like a stroke of amazing fortune, and Lawrence plans to rob the colony of their fabled gemstone, the Fallen Dragon, to get the money he needs. However, he soon discovers that the Fallen Dragon is not a gemstone at all, but an alien life form that the local colonists have been protecting since it crashed in their area. Now, Lawrence must decide if he will steal the alien to exploit the use of its inherent biotechnical processes — which far exceed anything humans are capable of — or if he will help the Resistance get the alien home. "One of Hamilton's best...undeniably a page-turner." --- Publishers Weekly (starred review) For more from Peter F.

Download or read book Unchained Dragon written by Darell Thorpe and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3RD Edition, 1st color illustrated edition, changes, corrections, lines added. The poem & story: "Unchained Dragon & the legend of the wandering Prophetess, Christkindl, that unchained & changed Him," was inspired by & set in Medieval chivalry & the ceremonies done to the making of Knights. Chivalry is the medieval knightly system that had its religious, moral, & social codes, with the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, that of courage, honor, courtesy, justice, & readiness to help the weak. Christkindl is German for the wandering Christ-child, an original Santa Claus type, but in German lore, a female saint or Santa, that wanders the whole earth teaching, gift giving, & testing our true charity, or non-charitable attitudes. Thus, this poem & story was inspired by Medieval Knight lore, ceremonies for chivalry, & German Christmas Christkindl traditions.The story poem: The wandering prophetess, Christkindl, seeking shelter from a storm, enters a cave & discovers a sleeping dragon, that wakes up. Charmed by her beauty, the dragon warms her by starting a small fire. Christkindl sings to the dragon about how, though unchained, he's been chained by invisible chains, to the treasure he had taken from humans, a thousand years ago. The invisible chains was his fear, that if he left his cave, someone would take some of his treasure, thus he stayed guarding it, & didn't realize that a 1000 or more years had gone by. Having wandered the whole world, Christkindl tells him about the beautiful world out side, & gets him to unchain himself from his fear & other negative traits, & free himself from the treasure that he couldn't spend as a dragon. Together they leave the cave & fly all over the world to enjoy the sights, & experience the world out side. The unchained dragon seeks to return the treasure & help the poor & needy peasantry. Thus, the dragon & the prophetess fly back to the palaces & kingdoms to return as much of the stolen treasure that they could, helping the poor people along the ways too. They sing to Knights & armies fighting, to get them all to stop their wars. They sing to the Kings & Queens & peasantry to encourage them all to change & have true charity & respect for each other. Stories spread about their good deeds, & the devil & his fellow fallen angels seek to counter them. In later lore about the early Christian doctrines about a preexistence, a life before mortal life, as spirits in a family in heaven. Later lore & art works about preexistence themes, says & depicts how some of the fallen angels, fell down into the seas, lakes, rivers, woods, & under the ground. Lore says that they became the evil dwarfs, goblins, cave trolls, underground folks, water creatures, black birds, insect-pests & more. Thus, in this story, they learn about the dragon's repentant change for good, & they want to get him back to their dark ways. Thus, they gather to figure out what they should do & how to go to war against them & the humans that were changed by the repentant dragon & Christkindl.This poem story tells what happens next, & explores the symbolism of chivalry, Knighting ceremonies, & the meanings behind the colors black & white in Whitesunday traditions. Plus, in white clothing put on Knights after their ceremonial baths. During the Middle Ages, beliefs in white protective garments are seen in art works of souls ascending into paradise, that have the traditional white robes on to protect them from the arrows shot at them by black devils. The story poem has a positive moral message like the moral plays of the Middle Ages.Color illustrations by Darell Thorpe, with some paintings of his father, James Eldon Thorpe, 8-23-1935 to 6-13-2018. A couple paintings show faces in the mountains & rocks, "The Goblin Valley," plus, "Red Castle Mountain & Lake" art works from different angles. Deer scenes, Fall River, oil paintings, with a water color one of ships at sea during the evening. Volume 2 in the works.

Download or read book The Phoenix Unchained written by Mercedes Lackey and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2007-10-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory teamed up to write The Obsidian Trilogy, set in a wondrous world filled with magical beings, competing magic systems, and a titanic struggle between good and evil. That world proved so popular with the creators and readers alike that Lackey and Mallory have returned to it with The Phoenix Unchained, Book One of The Enduring Flame, the opening volume of a new epic fantasy trilogy. After a thousand years of peace, much Magick has faded from the world. The Elves live far from humankind. There are no High Mages, and Wild Mages are seen only rarely. Bisochim, a powerful Wild Mage, is determined to reintroduce Darkness to the world, believing that it is out of Balance. Tiercel, a young Armethalian nobleman, is convinced that High Magic is not just philosophy. He attempts a spell—and draws the unwelcome attention of Bisochim. Tiercel survives Bisochim's attack and begins trying to turn himself into a High Mage. Next in line to be Harbormaster of Armethalieh, Harrier instead finds himself regularly saving Tyr's life and meeting magickal people and creatures. To Harrier's dismay, it seems that he must become a hero. In The Phoenix Unchained, Harrier and Tiercel begin a marvelous journey to uncover their destinies. Along the way, they meet a charming female centaur, several snooty Elves, and the most powerful dragon their world has ever known.

Download or read book Dragon's Unchained written by Ashley West and published by Monster Media LLC. This book was released on with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, dragon shifters have always been some of the most powerful people in society. They're business men, politicians, inventors, scientists. People with clout and intelligence and status, and the money to get whatever they want out of life. And then there's Artemis, a powerful shifter in his own right who has settled down in a small town and owns a diner. He likes his easy, quiet life. Likes his routines and his well worn habits. He has his regulars at the diner and newcomers who like to gawk at him (you can't hide shifter blood, you just can't), and it suits him better than a well tailored suit and a desk ever would. He's not expecting anything to change, but when a young woman who's bruised and terrified shows up outside of his diner without a dime to her name and clearly running from something, the protective instinct and need to keep that he never thought he had rears his head, and leads him to want to keep her safe from all the things she's running from. Even if it means turning his quiet life upside down completely.

Book excerpt: From award-winning author Daniel Fox comes a ravishingly written epic of revolution and romance set in a world where magic is found in stone and in water, in dragons and in men–and in the chains that bind them. Deposed by a vicious usurper, a young emperor flees with his court to the small island of Taishu. There, with a dwindling army, a manipulative mother, and a resentful population–and his only friend a local fishergirl he takes as a concubine–he prepares for his last stand. In the mountains of Taishu, a young miner finds a huge piece of jade, the potent mineral whose ingestion can gift the emperor with superhuman attributes. Setting out to deliver the stone to the embattled emperor, Yu Shan finds himself changing into something more than human, something forbidden. Meanwhile, a great dragon lies beneath the strait that separates Taishu from the mainland, bound by chains that must be constantly renewed by the magic of a community of monks. When the monks are slaughtered by a willful pirate captain, a maimed slave assumes the terrible burden of keeping the dragon subdued. If he should fail, if she should rise free, the result will be slaughter on an unimaginable scale. Now the prisoner beneath the sea and the men and women above it will shatter old bonds of loyalty and love and forge a common destiny from the ruins of an empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another Dragon Fantasy for everyone who fell in love with the Dragon Lore Series. A dragon shifter stirs and wakens in a cave beneath Inverness, deep in the Scottish Highlands. The cave’s the same and his hoard intact, yet something’s badly amiss. Determined to set whatever’s gone wrong to rights, Lachlan Moncrieffe ventures above ground—and wishes he hadn’t. His castle’s gone, replaced by ungainly row houses. Men aren’t wearing plaids, and women scarcely wear anything at all, particularly the woman who accosts him with unseemly banter. What manner of wench is she to dress so provocatively? In Inverness for a year on a psychiatry fellowship, Dr. Maggie Hibbins watches an oddly dressed man pick his way out of a heather and gorse thicket. Even though it runs counter to her better judgment, she teases him about his strange attire. He looks so lost—and so unbelievably, knock-out gorgeous —she takes a chance and stands him a meal. Lachlan’s shock when he picks up a local newspaper at a pub is so palpable, Maggie jumps in with both feet. She knew something was off, but the hard-to-accept truth bashes gaping holes in her equilibrium. He looks odd, sounds odd, acts odd because he’s a refugee from another era. Her half-baked seduction scheme takes a hike, but her carefully constructed life is still about to change forever. Born of powerful witches, Maggie runs headlong into the myth and magic that are her birthright. PRAISE FOR THE DRAGON LORE SERIES: “That was SPECTACULAR!

Book Synopsis Feeding the Dragon by : Chris Fenton
Download or read book Feeding the Dragon written by Chris Fenton and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Paced like a thriller, with comparable doses of international intrigue and conflict, Chris Fenton’s bracingly candid business memoir Feeding the Dragon takes readers deep behind the scenes of Hollywood’s shaky foothold in China. Dealing at the highest levels with Chinese government officials and major American brands like Disney, Marvel, and the NBA, the former Olive Garden waiter-turned-entertainment-industry-power-broker disarmed and defied authorities on both sides of the superpower divide to make billions—and history. Thanks to a brisk, page-turning storytelling style and an evenhanded, insider-level perspective decades in the making, Feeding the Dragon manages to be both timeless and timely. Captivating details on Robert Downey Jr., LeBron James, Kurt Cobain, Michael Phelps, and Marvel Universe creative mastermind Kevin Feige (among others) will enthrall average fans and aspiring moguls alike. But the beating narrative heart remains Fenton’s down-to-earth recounting of a headline-making journey. Ultimately, the intrepid exec builds a compelling case for the power of “cultural diplomacy”: mutually-beneficial, soft power-sharing exchanges as a better way forward than the hardliner battle lines being drawn across Beijing, Washington, and Los Angeles. Teeming with urgent insights about unlikely alliances and dangerous misperceptions, Feeding the Dragon is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of the US-China relationship and the bottom-line realities of show business and professional sports today. Even better, it’s a supremely entertaining ride for anyone who simply loves a great story…. Chris often told me about projects and plans off-the-record that I wouldn’t have reported on anyway, because they all seemed wildly improbable. Every single one came true. And now they’re all down on the page.” —Jamie Bryan, Fast Company contributor
