Download or read book Elven Task written by Joan Dudley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whole village stopped harvesting, and they rushed to see the baby from nowhere found naked in the middle of the wheat field. The priest said the strange mark below her neck nape was really a letter, a J, probably for Jane. So Jane she was. And as there was no village family who could afford to keep and dower her, it was decided she should be shared. She was passed from cottage to cottage for loving and tending, and then as she grew, to help as she could and to learn every women’s skill to equip her for a maid’s place at the Big House when she was twelve summers old. This was a happy childhood, but the longed-for Big House place was a disaster. On her second day, she was thrown out to go home in a blizzard. She was rescued by an elvish noblewoman and tumbled into adventures in a strange land. Forced to flee from death threats she does not understand, Jane seeks shelter in a great forest, which is the traditional home of the ancient elven folk. Her adventures lead to the setting upon her of an elven task to find someone lost. She is given only a name and told, ‘When you find her, you will know her.’ This is the story of the search. It follows her travels through a cities and countries of a world unknown to her. She encounters ordinary and powerful people, both human and of the elder races. Journeying on, Jane learns more than she ever dreamed possible when she was first plunged into adventure. So the story is one of growing up in unforeseeable circumstances. It is also a story of warm relationships with new friends whose own exciting adventures touch and enliven her own.

Download or read book Understanding Control Flow written by Peter A. Buhr and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control-flow issues presented in this textbook are extremely relevant in modern computer languages and programming styles. In addition to the basic control-flow mechanisms, virtually all new computer languages provide some form of exceptional control flow to support robust programming introduced in this textbook. Also, concurrency capabilities are appearing with increasing frequency in both new and old programming languages, and are covered in this book. Understanding Control Flow: With Concurrent Programming Using μC++ starts with looping, and works through each of the basic control-flow concepts, examining why each is fundamental and where it is useful. Time is spent on each concept according to its level of difficulty. Examples and exercises are also provided in this textbook. New programming methodologies are requiring new forms of control flow, and new programming languages are supporting these methodologies with new control structures, such as the concurrency constructs discussed in this textbook. Most computers now contain multi-threading and multi-cores, while multiple processors and distributed systems are ubiquitous — all of which require advanced programming methodologies to take full advantage of the available parallelism summarized in this textbook. Advance forms of control flow are becoming basic programming skills needed by all programmers, not just graduate students working in the operating systems or database disciplines. This textbook is designed for advanced-level students studying computer science and engineering. Professionals and researchers working in this field, specifically programming and software engineering, will find this book useful as a reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been three years since the events prophesied about the Gate of Fire came to fruition. King Malick’s work of bringing together the newly-named Kingdom of Calridian is never-ending. A new castle is being constructed, journeys are undertaken to unexplored lands, and a Council of Peace is being formed. Every corner of the Kingdom plays a role in these efforts, led by the King. Amidst this flurry of activity, Jyres and Lalatco carry out their duties as Keepers of the Key. The protection of the key that unlocks the Gate of Fire remains Jyres’ number one priority, though the creature that escaped from the Gate of Fire remains a mystery and has not been seen in two years. The more time that goes by without appearances from the creature, the more others seem to forget about the key’s importance. Lalatco and Leah live in married bliss and the King’s focus remains elsewhere. Meanwhile, Elonda’s adventures take her far away from Jyres. This leaves Jyres feeling more alone and lost than ever before. As Jyres loses confidence in his friends, the enemies of the Kingdom of Calridian stir, waiting for their opportunity. Thinking he needs to be the lone hero, Jyres tries to embrace the role as these enemies emerge to oppose the Kingdom and try to take the key. Will Jyres’ decision prove costly? The fate of the key–and of all the Kingdom–hangs in the balance as conflict ensues. The Kingdom of Calridian finds help in unexpected places but will it be enough? And when the dust settles, who will be in possession of the key to the Gate of Fire?

Download or read book The Fallen Elves written by Christopher Farmer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Fallen Elves, book three of The Second Neoluzian War epic fantasy series, the wicked Orc dictator Arkan Spiritstrike, his wizards and military generals are on the verge of laying waste to the elven cities of Balenwood and Oakmantle after destroying the human settlements in the northern lands. This is a time of desperation for the good races because Darius has been lost to lower Neoluzia due to the Gathering of Replenishment spell cast upon him by members of the secretive wizard guild, the Veiled Institution. David Parr, a human from Earth summoned by Darius that reluctantly remains in Neoluzia to assist the Salon of Enlightenment against their Orc enemies, must find the great necromancer Termaplix if the land is to be saved. Finding Termaplix may be impossible however, for the hero from the War of Cleansing has been hidden in a secret place due to unknown circumstances one thousand years ago--a tomb long since forgotten to the current generations in the land. Perilously stifled in their shift away from the old magic and the forced elimination of history, those that Parr seeks to help against the enemy from the north must first learn to embrace the gift of magic again, an art banished in antiquity by the deception of peace and the deep wounds of the surviving populations in the first war.

Book excerpt: From award-winning author Lisa Kumar comes a contemporary fantasy romance of a banished dark elf with a torturous past who finds his salvation--and the warming of his heart--in a mortal woman. Liar, murderer, traitor … these are all names Eamon has been called, and he wears them with pride. Depending on which side one falls, those titles are only too true. But it's all part of his orchestrated manipulations. Up until the day he was banished from the fae land of Eria, he had schemed for millennia to protect his people, even resorting to murder. As punishment, the Erian king exiled him on Earth to live amongst the lowliest creatures of all — humans. Yet one frustrating and captivating woman shakes his ingrained beliefs to the core. Newly minted physical therapist Caralyn Alberts has been drawing images of a handsome, otherworldly stranger for as long as she can remember. She's chalked it up as a fluke occurrence of life. But when she finds the arrogant Eamon sprawled out on the ice at a local park, her life becomes just as slippery and dangerous as the hauntingly familiar elf. Enemies, friends, and unwilling partners inundate them from all sides. When Eamon's treacherous past makes a reappearance, they'll have to trust each other in order to keep their hearts — and their very lives — intact. This story is the third book in the Mists of Eria series and contains adult content and mentions past physical and sexual abuse. This book was previously published under the same title and has a new cover and fresh edits. The Mists of Eria series will be a crossover with The Faerin series.
