Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human animals - centaurs, satyrs, sphinxes, sirens and Gorgons - as well as other composite beings like Pan, Triton, Acheloos, and the Minotaur, are extremely common in Greek myth, literature, theater, and the visual arts. Understanding the phenomenon of combining human and animal elements into composite creatures is central to our knowledge of the Greek imagination. This book discusses the oriental antecedents of these fantastic creatures, examining the influence of Egyptian and Near Eastern models on the formation of Greek monsters in the Geometric and Archaic periods. Fully illustrated essays explore the nature and origin of horse men (centuars and satyrs) and the broader range of Greek composite creatures, discussing their evolving forms and changing roles during this seminal period of Greek art.

Book Synopsis The Centaur's Wife by : Amanda Leduc
Download or read book The Centaur's Wife written by Amanda Leduc and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Leduc's brilliant new novel, woven with fairy tales of her own devising and replete with both catastrophe and magic, is a vision of what happens when we ignore the natural world and the darker parts of our own natures. Heather is sleeping peacefully after the birth of her twin daughters when the sound of the world ending jolts her awake. Stumbling outside with her babies and her new husband, Brendan, she finds that their city has been destroyed by falling meteors and that her little family are among only a few who survived. But the mountain that looms over the city is still green--somehow it has been spared the destruction that has brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Heather is one of the few who know the mountain, a place city-dwellers have always been forbidden to go. Her dad took her up the mountain when she was a child on a misguided quest to heal her legs, damaged at birth. The tragedy that resulted has shaped her life, bringing her both great sorrow and an undying connection to the deep magic of the mountain, made real by the beings she and her dad encountered that day: Estajfan, a centaur born of sorrow and of an ancient, impossible love, and his two siblings, marooned between the magical and the human world. Even as those in the city around her--led by Tasha, a charismatic doctor who fled to the city from the coast with her wife and other refugees--struggle to keep everyone alive, Heather constantly looks to the mountain, drawn by love, by fear, by the desire for rescue. She is torn in two by her awareness of what unleashed the meteor shower and what is coming for the few survivors, once the green and living earth makes a final reckoning of the usefulness of human life and finds it wanting. At times devastating, but ultimately redemptive, Amanda Leduc's fable for our uncertain times reminds us that the most important things in life aren't things at all, but rather the people we want by our side at the end of the world.

Book excerpt: "A sequel which will likely please die-hard fantasy aficionados." " -Kirkus Indie" "L"ove is the very food of life-or the death of it. Alana's life changed forever the night she learned the dark and seductive truth of blood-and those who crave it. So far, she has managed to keep the secret from her mother, but her increasing involvement with the immortals has brought many things into her life. But the price she must pay for the thrill of an intoxicating romance with Christian may be higher than she can bear. Her life now is tinged with fear and danger, as well as a love that could span the centuries. Desperate after being hunted by the hideous Restless, Alana accepts the invitation from the ancients of the Other Forest. In their protection lies her only hope for survival, but that hope is short-lived. The ancients need her help. The more willing Alana is to help the ancients, the more she is drawn into their lives and terrors. Soon, she will learn the mystery of her own ancestry-and that knowledge will haunt her. Alana is given a dangerous task on the White Mountain-a realm of dark forces where she battles both life and death. Only time will tell whether the Restless and the renegade vampires that allied with the Dark Forest will be able to stop Alana's quest. With his immortal powers distorted by the dark forces, Christian may not be able to protect Alana from the wrath of the witch-or himself from the murderous intentions of a rival.

Picking up the pieces after slavery the rulers (known as Wards, blessed with the power of will) built an empire with their capital cities standing strong and their people safe. But now something red is lurking from the west, something that salivates after the utter power that once freed the humans. Join Jezaline, Osondrous and Karalay as they face the breaking of the Wards and the growing certainty that an ancient enemy is lying in wait for just one bad decision. Karalay has long been desperate for companionship, a healer, a scholar that has never known a life that included love, when she finds it, she abandons her place as a Ward to her people. Jezaline is on the move, not even knowing for certain what she is looking for, an incident from her childhood (something she only admits as a nightmare) is calling louder and louder that it was nothing as simple as a rape. Osondrous, young, rash and a warlord since birth, steps up to run the guard, to protect the people. She stands in blind stubbornness, ignoring all warning signs as the red savage from the west breathes harder and harder down her neck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s the beginning of summer break, and high school English teacher Shannon Parker is ready to relax poolside with some red wine and a good book. She’s friggin’ earned it! But first—a little shopping, a la fancy estate auction. Surrounded by old folks and even older artifacts, Shannon never expects to find something that shocks her down to her very core: an ancient vase, complete with a beautiful painting of a goddess that looks just like her. And just as she’s stealing away with her seriously suspicious purchase, she’s magically thrown into the world of Partholon, where not only has she taken the place of Rhiannon, Goddess Incarnate and Epona’s Chosen, but she’s due to be married to a surly (but oh-so-handsome) High Shaman centaur, ClanFintan. But serving as Epona’s Chosen isn’t just luxury baths and buff horse-guys. A dark power grows in the wastelands to the north, and Rhiannon will need much more than just the favor of Epona to protect the land—and the man—she’s grown to love.
