Book excerpt: One crown can unite them—or destroy them all. The three kingdoms lie splintered, their aging dragon riders content with stories of glorious battle victories. But a new evil creeps across the land. Inyene, a powerful noblewoman of the Northern Kingdom, plunders valuable resources to power mechanical dragons in her quest to gain a foothold in the Middle Kingdom. From there she will ascend the High Throne, once again uniting the realms under a single crown. For the wearer of the Stone Crown can wield unlimited power—if it can be found. Narissea has spent a quarter of her sixteen years slaving away in the mines, accused of a crime she didn’t commit. When word reaches her of the horrors assailing her village, Narissea knows she must act despite the risk. Already her arm is scarred with four brands signifying previous escape attempts. If she’s unsuccessful in her fifth, it will mean death. But her life forever changes when she stumbles upon an injured dragon, discovers an ancient shrine, and learns the true purpose behind Lady Inyene’s mechanical abominations. Now, Narissea has only one choice: gain Inyene’s trust and find a way to thwart her plans, even if it means sacrificing that which she desires most of all. Her freedom.

Download or read book Feed the Tiger Free the Dragon written by Gillian Harper and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has your partner become your everything? That’s probably not a good thing. In many modern relationships, our partners have become our everything—best friend, lover, career mentor, co-parent, gym buddy, fellow food critic, and TV-binge-watching-partner. And if you were in a relationship during the pandemic, you did literally everything together. All. Day. Long. The further we go down this road, the more our relationships start to feel (and taste) like a lukewarm bowl of porridge. No salt. No sugar. No delicious apple-berry granola crumble. Just a plain old bowl of oats served up three times a day. And sure, oats are reasonably nutritious, but they are also really boring. After spending so much time together we have, like magnets, rubbed up against each other for so long that we have completely lost the powerful energy and sexual attraction we once had. But you don’t need to settle for a life devoid of desire and passion. It’s time to stop settling. So put down that sad little spoon and stop eating that gruel. It’s time to feel your sharp teeth, your claws, and the fire in your chest. In Feed the Tiger, Free the Dragon, you will learn to create more excitement and sexual tension in your relationship through the practice of polarity. The natural law of polarity states that people with opposite sexual energy produce an attractive force between them, while people with the same energy produce a neutral or repulsive force. In other words, opposites attract. And the larger the energy distance between two people, the greater the attraction. Using the narrative of her broken marriage as a guide, Harper teaches us how to master the principles of polarity and how to embrace our inner Tiger or inner Dragon. By understanding and embracing your authentic uniqueness and learning to counterintuitively push away from your partner, you will find more love, lust, pleasure, freedom, and respect. Yes, that’s a lot. But isn’t it time to start living the most fulfilled version of our lives? It’s time to find our happiness.
Download or read book The Dragon and the Rainbow written by Robert Blust and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernization and conversion to world religions are threatening the survival of traditional belief systems, leaving behind only mysterious traces of their existence. This book, based upon extensive research conducted over a period of nearly four decades, brings scientific rigor to one of the questions that have always attracted human curiosity: that of the origin of the dragon. The author demonstrates that both dragons and rainbows are cultural universals, that many of the traits that are attributed to dragons in widely separated parts of the planet are also attributed to rainbows, and that the number and antiquity of such shared traits cannot be attributed to chance or common inheritance, but rather to common cognitive pathways by which human psychology has responded to the natural environment in a wide array of cultures around the world.

Download or read book Other Rivers written by Peter Hessler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate and revelatory account of two generations of students in China’s heartland, by an author who has observed the country’s tumultuous changes over the past quarter century More than two decades after teaching English during the early part of China’s economic boom, an experience chronicled in his book River Town, Peter Hessler returned to Sichuan Province to instruct students from the next generation. At the same time, Hessler and his wife enrolled their twin daughters in a local state-run elementary school, where they were the only Westerners. Over the years, Hessler had kept in close contact with many of the people he had taught in the 1990s. By reconnecting with these individuals—members of China’s “Reform generation,” now in their forties—while teaching current undergrads, Hessler gained a unique perspective on China’s incredible transformation. In 1996, when Hessler arrived in China, almost all of the people in his classroom were first-generation college students. They typically came from large rural families, and their parents, subsistence farmers, could offer little guidance as their children entered a brand-new world. By 2019, when Hessler arrived at Sichuan University, he found a very different China, as well as a new kind of student—an only child whose schooling was the object of intense focus from a much more ambitious cohort of parents. At Sichuan University, many young people had a sense of irony about the regime but mostly navigated its restrictions with equanimity, embracing the opportunities of China’s rise. But the pressures of extreme competition at scale can be grueling, even for much younger children—including Hessler’s own daughters, who gave him an intimate view into the experience at their local school. In Peter Hessler’s hands, China’s education system is the perfect vehicle for examining the country’s past, present, and future, and what we can learn from it, for good and ill. At a time when anti-Chinese rhetoric in America has grown blunt and ugly, Other Rivers is a tremendous, essential gift, a work of enormous empathy that rejects cheap stereotypes and shows us China from the inside out and the bottom up. As both a window onto China and a mirror onto America, Other Rivers is a classic from a master of the form.

In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Dragonriders of Pern series, Gigi does her mother proud, adding to the family tradition of spinning unputdownable tales that recount the adventures of the brave inhabitants of a distant planet who battle the pitiless adversary known as Thread. The last time Thread attacked Pern, the world was unprepared for the fight—until the Oldtimers appeared. These courageous dragonriders arrived from the past, traveling four hundred years to help their descendants survive. But the collision of past and present took its toll. While most of the displaced rescuers adapted to their new reality, others could not abide the jarring change and found themselves in soul-crushing exile, where unhappiness and resentment seethed. Piemur, a journeyman harper, also feels displaced, cast adrift by the loss of his spectacular boyhood voice and uncertain of his future. But when the Masterharper of Pern sees promise in the young man and sends him undercover among the exiled Oldtimers, Piemur senses the looming catastrophe that threatens the balance of power between the Weyrs and Holds of Pern. When the unthinkable happens, Piemur must rise to the challenge to avert disaster and restore honor to the dragons and dragonriders of Pern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 1 of the Dragonfate series. Debts and balance are everything to dragons. In a world where a misstep can make a dragon a slave to the nearest opportunist, where Ruby Dragons are feared and hated as the worst of the evil, half-Ruby Kyaza has lived a life built on distrust and violence. When the ancient magic of Dragonfate enslaves him yet again, he is thrust against his will among humans with the command to do what he has sworn he will never do again: to kill. However, when he is suddenly indebted to Hallen, the human boy he was meant to kill, things get complicated. Though Kyaza cannot bring himself to trust a human, and though Hallen hates Ruby Dragons above all else, a magic even deeper than the slavery of Dragonfate binds them. Their lives are vastly different, the rift between their histories unbreachable; and yet, as the malice of both humans and dragons closes in on them, they must learn to work together . . . or die.
