Now "heartbreak" is understood with clarity, and hopelessness invades. But with the God of grace on their side, hope is never actually gone: just delayed. Two lines to the throne, both heirs missing; one poisoned, the other taken by an evil cult. The Dreaded King and his wife are on their trail, but even as they ride they know they are too late. Only a ten-year-old street boy stands between hope and the complete destruction of a line which has carried on unbroken for over a thousand years. But can the toughened Turner Hitchley do anything against a raging poison and a looming plague?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assassins on the move again The Dreaded King ousted from his throne Questing with a screaming baby You would assume a king forced from his throne and in hiding among the lowest dregs of his people would be decidedly depressed about it all. The Dreaded King, however, is delighted with the opportunity to escape his political duties for a time. Corinth is nearly as excited at the prospect as her husband but, what with the wailing going on every night, she is a little too worn from sleeplessness to notice. Thankfully Arvi and Turner are along to protect the exiled king, and help with Aston Hartsom, the heir to the throne, high prince, and the joy and torment of his royal parents. One thing is evident as they settle in the ancient old house on the edge of slums; the new prince has a good pair of lungs. But as the days come and go, the pleasant life in the Old Mereson Place is rudely cut short. Unpleasant plots begin to press in on the Hartsoms and their two companions. The unknown mastermind behind the king's near murder, and his present dangerous position, is still on the move. A new danger raises its monstrous head, threatening the entire kingdom. And only the Dreaded King is equipped to combat it...with a bit of help from his clever wife and the ill-matched duo of Arvi and Turner.

Download or read book The Dreambook of Skyler Dread written by Jason Murk and published by Oscura Press. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dreambook of Skyler Dread is a storybook-tale set in India shortly after the death of Queen Victoria. Illustrated with vintage 1890s lithographs collaged with contemporary comicbook panels, this is the story of the alien conquest of the Earth. Skyler Dread is a mesmerist who tries to avert the Earth's destruction, and he fails in the end. Because - see it as one of those shoot-'em-up monster kinematoscope movies - an alien menace attacks from outer space. Sure, that's the plot. And there are nice special effects too. But it's a shoot-'em-up monster kinematoscope movie set in the early Edwardian era, in the scientific age of wonder and futility. Horses are still the primary mode of transportation, the internal combustion engine still isn't trusted. Our technology is no match for the alien technology. Face it, we lose. There are perhaps love stories, romances, but they don't last. Because how can they? The aliens win, the aliens attack with overwhelming technology. There's no hope for Skyler Dread or his sideburn'd scientific colleagues to withstand the aliens, no, not even if they're members of the Indian-Subcontinent Society of Amateur Scientists, men whose enthusiasms include theosophy, amateur theatricals, and flannel waistcoats. Scientists whose moustaches cover half their whole faces in the reigning style. No, and even with these moustaches they lose. No, the odds are insurmountable and the aliens win. Skyler Dread's experiments with dreams & mesmerism & his amber hookah full of potent hash fails to save the day, even though they were humanity's last hope.
Download or read book Dread Talk written by Velma Pollard and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000-05-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dread Talk examines the effects of Rastafarian language on Creole in other parts of the Carribean, its influence in Jamaican poetry, and its effects on standard Jamaican English. This revised edition includes a new introduction that outlines the changes that have occurred since the book first appeared and a new chapter, "Dread Talk in the Diaspora," that discusses Rastafarian as used in the urban centers of North America and Europe. Pollard provides a wealth of examples of Rastafarian language-use and definitions, explaining how the evolution of these forms derives from the philosophical position of the Rasta speakers: "The socio-political image which the Rastaman has had of himself in a society where lightness of skin, economic status, and social privileges have traditionally gone together must be included in any consideration of Rastafarian words " for the man making the words is a man looking up from under, a man pressed down economically and socially by the establishment."
Download or read book Dread Murder written by Gwendoline Butler and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the court of King George IV, Major Mearns---an old dog of war and veteran of Willington's army---is the guardian of Windsor Castle. Some would call him a spy; he calls himself a "watcher." Working with his close friend, the resourceful Sergeant Denny, the pair maintain a cool facade behind which they go about their duties quietly and unnoticed. Unnoticed, that is, until the day Mearns receives a parcel containing a gruesome surprise: a pair of severed human legs. The legs belong to a fellow soldier. Casting aside official protocol, Mearns and Denny decide to investigate the murder themselves, also enrolling the help of a precocious young runaway, Charlie. But soon these maverick investigators find themselves up against all manner of obstacles and danger, not the least of which is the Crown Keepers of the Peace---a unit of former soldiers headed by Mearns's nemesis, Felix Ferguson. With more butchered body parts turning up in parcels and the number of deaths rising, our amateur investigators find themselves up to their necks in corruption and intrigue. Mearns struggles to keep Ferguson at bay, not only during the investigation, but also for the affections of the desirable Mindy, a maidservant in the castle. With the pressure on, can Mearns get to the bottom of the murders and win the heart of his ladylove? With Dread Murder, Gwendoline Butler delivers a cleverly cunning and old-fashioned mystery that hides a gruesome murder behind its charming facade.
