Book Synopsis Sorceress Rising by : Lisa Blackwood
Download or read book Sorceress Rising written by Lisa Blackwood and published by Lisa Blackwood. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignorance nearly killed Lillian once. That time, she’d known nothing of magic until Gregory, her Gargoyle Protector, awoke from his stone sleep and saved her from demons escaped from the Magic Realm. They defeated the demonic Riven at great personal cost, one which forced them both to hibernate for months while they mended. Healed, Lillian wakes to a world greatly changed, one where her sleepy northern town has been overrun by military, scientists, and paparazzi. Apparently, her battle with the Riven did not go completely unnoticed, and her actions put her Coven family at risk of exposure. These new tensions unearth another concern. Lillian and Gregory may be one being in the Spirit Realm, soul mates in the most literal sense, but it does not guarantee a perfect accord here on earth, especially when Gregory’s clearly defined sense of good and evil urge him to eradicate anyone he deems as evil—which, to her dismay, includes a good chunk of humanity. But their troubles are not limited to humans, not when another, older power rises from the ocean’s depths. Tethys, a siren of the ancient world, has her own plans for Gregory. For the first time in their many lives, Lillian finds herself at odds with her other half. And if she does not master her own magic, this battle will become her greatest defeat.

It goes with being at the top of the magical food chain. But for the first time in his existence—thanks to his devious gargoyle father—he’s been slapped with a partner. This infuriating female soldier also has the distinction of being a Null, a mortal sent by the Divine Ones to influence an outcome. A Null’s natural immunity to all types of magic allows them to battle even the most powerful of magic wielders, even demigods. His sire and dam are certain the Divine Ones have sent the Null to aid the Light in defeating the Battle Goddess. Gryton doubts it’s anything so innocent. And if he’s correct, he has just been partnered up with his doom. But if the Divine Ones think he'll just roll over and allow one of their Nulls the chance to kill him, they’ll be disappointed. Very disappointed.

This book was released on 101-01-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in Beth-Hill, where imagination meets reality, is The Rose Emporium, owned by elderly and not-a-little-odd Rose Duncan. The large Victorian house smackdab in the middle of nowhere is a cross between a pawn shop and an antique store that caters to supernatural creatures needing to barter. Rose's twenty-something niece, Abby Duncan, discovers that the world isn't made up of just run-of-the-mill, ordinary humans but an entire spectrum of unusual beings. With her preconceptions about what's normal and what's not turned upside-down, Abby is in for a whole lot of startling truths, mysteries--about herself and the people and places around her--and danger. Winston Matthew Delaney, a former vampire hunter, has been sentenced to seven years labor at Madame Mim's Teahouse. In his late thirties, Winston has spent most of his life strongly believing that vampires have no place in the world and his purpose was to eliminate them. He'd been training his own apprentice Josh to believe the same when he was captured. Josh continues to seek out his master and rescue him. But, shocking himself most of all, Winston discovers a truth that changes everything he's ever believed and based his principles on: Most vampires have no desire to kill and proliferate; instead, they only want to live their lives in peace. Arabella Bauer believes her brother died in a car accident. In part, that's true. But he was a no-good drunk and actually caused the accident that took the life of one of the men in the other car involved. Only Colin survived. Despite being badly injured himself, Colin killed Arabella's brother in retaliation. Arabella is contacted by Josh, who attempts to win her over into believing vampires are real. He gives her information that leads her to The Rose Emporium...and Colin, a vampire...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s as lethal as he is beautiful, desired and feared by all. She’s big, bloodthirsty, and obliterates her enemies. Never should they have met. But they did... When an unknown enemy tries to end the ruling line of the Soul Mages, Verdria is more than ready to defend Priest-King Elect Honryn and his allies in this enemy land she now must call home. But then Honryn demands she also save his sire and two older brothers—save the very soul mages responsible for the deaths of many of her people—she rebels at Honryn’s orders, until he explains why his enemies can’t die yet. But Verdria will need the aid of another lethal enemy to achieve her goal. Going against every instinct she possesses, she does as Honryn asks and seeks out his uncle, the ruling Priest-King, for his aid. Together they form an uneasy alliance that strikes terror into their enemies. While the first attempt to end the ruling line of the Soul Mage empire may have failed, Verdria is kept busy. Many factions deem Honryn too powerful and dangerous and want him dead… But even his enemies don’t know the real reason they should fear him… That they should fear what he’s becoming… Because the Serpent God soon plans to claim Honryn as his new mortal host and Verdria as his consort. Once he does, no one will ever be safe again. But Verdria's greatest nemesis is her own traitorous heart... For she wants Honryn and the monster he becomes. Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, morally grey hero, slowburn with steam, never-even-kissed heroine, inexperienced celibate hero, royal romance, forced proximity, who hurt you, touch him and die, touch her and die, court intrigue, ‘oops I unalived a bunch of people again’ hero and heroine. Author's Note: While most of my fantasy romances are standalone, this one is a continuing story and you need to read Soul Mage first. And by the way, this one does not have a major cliffhanger at the end.

Book excerpt: In The Fifth Sorceress, Robert Newcomb conjures a time and place wrought with exquisite detail, characters vividly drawn and deeply felt, and a history rich in glory and horror, splendor and secrets. . . . “We gave them a chance once, long ago. . . . We offered to share power equally, and in peace. But they refused and chose war. With them it was all or nothing. Wizard against Sorceress. Male against female. Light against dark.” It is more than three centuries since the ravages of a devastating war nearly tore apart the kingdom of Eutracia. In its wake, those who masterminded the bloodshed—a quartet of powerful, conquest-hungry Sorceresses—were sentenced to exile, with return all but impossible and death all but inevitable. Now a land of peace and plenty, protected and guided by a council of immortal wizards, Eutracia is about to crown a new king. And as the coronation approaches, the spirit of celebration fills every heart. Except one. Prince Tristan is a reluctant monarch-to-be. Though born with the “endowed” blood that will give him the power to master magic, and destined by tradition to succeed his father as ruler, he is a rebel soul. And when he discovers the ancient, hidden caves where strange red waters flow—possessed of their own mysterious magic—it only makes him yearn all the more to escape his future of duty . . . and succumb to the stirrings of enchantment within him. But more than tradition compels Tristan to ascend the throne. The very existence of Eutracia depends upon it. For after these long centuries of peace, dreadful omens have begun to appear, heralding something too unspeakable to ponder. And if indeed the old evil has returned, hungry to wreak vengeance, Tristan’s role in an ages-old prophecy must be fulfilled—or the cost to his kingdom and his people will be beyond imagination. It will be a battle like none ever known, against an enemy whose thirst for blood and domination is depthless and unyielding. And for Tristan, it will be the ultimate challenge: facing an adversary whose greatest weapon is the person he loves most—transformed into the instrument of his annihilation . . . and the catalyst that will doom Eutracia forever to darkness.
Book Synopsis Fear of the Sorceress by : Krista Walsh
Download or read book Fear of the Sorceress written by Krista Walsh and published by Raven's Quill Press (Krista Walsh). This book was released on with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well, hello The Past. I see you're trying to kill me. Again. My sluggish magic has woken up, but of course I’m not able to lounge in bed while I get reacquainted with it. No, instead I have a blaring alarm clock in the shape of a fear demon I banished to hell eight hundred years ago. Someone's summoned him back, and he's picking up right where he left off—wreaking havoc, inciting mobs, and threatening mass human casualties. And he's using a member of my chosen family to do it. It's on me to stop him, and the threats are rising. Emrick, the servant of Death who makes my legs weak, refuses to step aside, but I can't let him help. Not when doing so breaks Death's one rule: don't get involved. To banish this demon, I’ll need to do more than get to know my magic again. I’ll need to bring hell to earth. Without losing one of my only friends in the process. If I mess this up, millions will burn and my sanity might crack. If I do this right? The only thing fear should be afraid of is me.
Book Synopsis Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas by : Ellen T. Harris
Download or read book Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas written by Ellen T. Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purcell's Dido and Aeneas stands as the greatest operatic achievement of seventeenth-century England, and yet, despite its global renown, it remains cloaked in mystery. The date and place of its first performance cannot be fixed with precision, and the absolute accuracy of the surviving scores, which date from almost 100 years after the work was written, cannot be assumed. In this thirtieth-anniversary new edition of her book, Ellen Harris closely examines the many theories that have been proposed for the opera's origin and chronology, considering the opera both as political allegory and as a positive exemplar for young women. Her study explores the work's historical position in the Restoration theater, revealing its roots in seventeenth-century English theatrical and musical traditions, and carefully evaluates the surviving sources for the various readings they offer-of line designations in the text (who sings what), the vocal ranges of the soloists, the use of dance and chorus, and overall layout. It goes on to provide substantive analysis of Purcell's musical declamation and use of ground bass. In tracing the performance history of Dido and Aeneas, Harris presents an in-depth examination of the adaptations made by the Academy of Ancient Music at the end of the eighteenth century based on the surviving manuscripts. She then follows the growing interest in the creation of an "authentic" version in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through published editions and performance reviews, and considers the opera as an important factor in the so-called English Musical Renaissance. To a significant degree, the continuing fascination with Purcell's Dido and Aeneas rests on its apparent mutability, and Harris shows this has been inherent in the opera effectively from its origin.
