Book excerpt: The first book in an epic new series about a princess hiding a dark secret and the con man she must trust to clear her name for her father's murder. In the Cyrilian Empire, Affinites are reviled. Their varied gifts to control the world around them are deemed unnatural—even dangerous. And Anastacya Mikhailov, the crown princess, is one of the most terrifying Affinites. Ana’s ability to control blood has long been kept secret, but when her father, the emperor, is murdered, she is the only suspect. Now, to save her own life, Ana must find her father’s killer. But the Cyrilia beyond the palace walls is one where corruption rules and a greater conspiracy is at work—one that threatens the very balance of Ana’s world. There is only one person corrupt enough to help Ana get to the conspiracy’s core: Ramson Quicktongue. Ramson is a cunning crime lord with sinister plans—though he might have met his match in Ana. Because in this story, the princess might be the most dangerous player of all.

Book excerpt: For fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Six of Crows comes the thrilling conclusion to the Blood Heir trilogy. A princess with a dark secret must ally with a con man to liberate her empire from a reign of terror in this epic fantasy retelling of the Anastasia story. The Red Tigress, Anastacya Mikhailov, has lost the gift she was only beginning to realize defined her. Stolen from her during the battle in Bregon, her blood Affinity rests with Sorsha Farrald, a dangerous Affinite who is on the run, headed straight to Cyrilia and to Ana's aunt...the Empress Morganya. Though she is weakened, Ana's course remains true--yet her return to her homeland reveals a Cyrilia on the brink of collapse. Morganya's tyrannical rule has transformed into a sinister quest for unquestioned authority, and she has set her sights far beyond Cyrilia. Morganya seeks a legendary ancient power, rumored to have once belonged to the Deities themselves. If she can locate it, she can rule the world. What's more, Ana's allies, the insurgent Affinite rebels known as the Redcloaks, no longer support her. For their allegiance is with the people--and there can be no equality with a monarchy. Ana faces enemies at every turn, and every day without her Affinity brings her closer to death. Yet she is determined to liberate her people and vanquish the legacy of her own imperial bloodline--the inequality sewn into the fabric of her land. Her only hope lies in the navy she recruited in Bregon, the courage of her band of friends, and the cunning crime-lord-turned-captain she's fallen for. If Ana loses this fight, it will be her last. And Morganya's reign of darkness with consume the world.

Book excerpt: www.elregresodelheredero.com SPECIAL EDITION ILLUSTRATED BY A.I. A traveler? Excellent! But I think you and I already know each other, right? Well, it doesn't matter. I guess you're here for the same thing as last time: adventures, adventures, and more adventures right? Yes, yes, yes, of course... Ah! I see you have already made your choice. Let me see, come on... Wow! So "The Return of the Heir", huh? What you have in hand is not a small thing. What awaits you? Oh traveler. If I told you... Legends? One like few... A new world to discover? Sure, my friend! Rings, lords, thrones and games? Well that's other stories but... What if there are battles, betrayals, fun? You offend me, really! How could you forget what Karindor really is? I don't know why I am surprised every time you ask me that question... Ah! Yes, there is also some of “it”. After all, what would a story be without "it"? Love is everything, traveler. All. But hey, I think I'd better not tell you much more. I don't want to spoil your fun. If you are patient, you will see for yourself. And you may finally remember. Now don't make noise. Be careful. Everything starts up again. The Damage of the North resurfaces. The world is about to change. You really don't see it yet? The hunt has already begun. What do you mean "what hunt"? Shhh! Don't make so much noise or the "beast" will discover our young prince and you will never be able to... Anyway, traveler, here I have to leave you. And to see if this time you finally do not forget that every dream is a reality to live. This is the trip of your dreams... ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ In a world that you should not have forgotten the shadows of war threaten to rise again and impose their cruel darkness for all eternity. Beyond mountains, rivers and valleys, Evil whispers a single word:war.No one will be safe from His terrible call when His voice echoes again in our dying world. But a young and impetuous prince is about to hunt down a mysterious and elusive beast that has been prowling the Golden Forest for many moons. Yes, maybe all is not lost, maybe there is still some hope for the dust and ashes that are the inhabitants of the Living Earth... This story is not only the fascinating and fast-paced adventure in which the fate of that brave prince will change forever. Nor is it the legend of the rebirth of free peoples and their extinct Council, nor that of the flame of love that is capable of shining on the most frightening of nights. For beyond the ambition and the nameless cruelty that the Black Domain seems willing to cause to every corner of our world, beyond all those who gave their lives or took that of many others, beyond what you think you know or remember, this story is the shadow of the last flash of light that we saw arise before nothingness reached us all. Today, at dawn, your last day begins. And then the heir will return...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging collection, consisting of 50 essays by leading international scholars in a variety of fields, provides an overview of the reception history of a major literary genre from Greco-Roman antiquity to the present day. Section I considers how the 5th- and 4th-century Athenian comic poets defined themselves and their plays, especially in relation to other major literary forms. It then moves on to the Roman world and to the reception of Greek comedy there in art and literature. Section II deals with the European reception of Greek and Roman comedy in the Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern periods, and with the European stage tradition of comic theater more generally. Section III treats the handling of Greco-Roman comedy in the modern world, with attention not just to literary translations and stage-productions, but to more modern media such as radio and film. The collection will be of interest to students of ancient comedy as well as to all those concerned with how literary and theatrical traditions are passed on from one time and place to another, and adapted to meet local conditions and concerns.
