And when she meets River, the cocky new guy in town, she has no choice but to face this reality, which is so much more devastating than she could’ve ever imagined. Average?

Download or read book Goddess in the Machine written by Lora Beth Johnson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andra wakes up from a cryogenic sleep 1,000 years later than she was supposed to, forcing her to team up with an exiled prince to navigate an unfamiliar planet in this smart, thrilling sci-fi adventure, perfect for fans of Renegades and Aurora Rising. When Andra wakes up, she's drowning. Not only that, but she's in a hot, dirty cave, it's the year 3102, and everyone keeps calling her Goddess. When Andra went into a cryonic sleep for a trip across the galaxy, she expected to wake up in a hundred years, not a thousand. Worst of all, the rest of the colonists--including her family and friends--are dead. They died centuries ago, and for some reason, their descendants think Andra's a deity. She knows she's nothing special, but she'll play along if it means she can figure out why she was left in stasis and how to get back to Earth. Zhade, the exiled bastard prince of Eerensed, has other plans. Four years ago, the sleeping Goddess's glass coffin disappeared from the palace, and Zhade devoted himself to finding it. Now he's hoping the Goddess will be the key to taking his rightful place on the throne--if he can get her to play her part, that is. Because if his people realize she doesn't actually have the power to save their dying planet, they'll kill her. With a vicious monarch on the throne and a city tearing apart at the seams, Zhade and Andra might never be able to unlock the mystery of her fate, let alone find a way to unseat the king, especially since Zhade hasn't exactly been forthcoming with Andra. And a thousand years from home, is there any way of knowing that Earth is better than the planet she's woken to?

Known as the best in all of Lydia, she leads a charmed life, full of fame and fortune. But her circumstances soon take a turn for the worse when she offends the goddess of craft with her hubris. Confident in her abilities, Arachne brazenly challenges Athena to a contest: Whoever impresses the townsfolk of Hypaepa will hold the title of best weaver among mortals and the divine. Athena agrees to the competition, and the two women go head-to-head, putting their talents to the test. When Arachne catches a glimpse of Athena’s otherworldly design—a reminder to mortals of their place—her sure-fire victory turns to crumbling ash. Angered by the slight and desperate to prove herself, Arachne devises a new plan: Defeat the goddess by weaving a scene depicting the hypocrisy of the gods in jaw-dropping detail. When the tapestries are finally revealed, it’s clear Arachne has prevailed over Athena, using not only her skill but her cunning, another attribute Athena credits to herself. Enraged by her audacity, Athena unleashes her fury on Arachne, tearing apart not only her greatest work but her unshakeable spirit. Humiliated and broken, Arachne must find a way to save all that her act of defiance has cost both her and her family. The Weaver and the Web is a retelling of the myth of Arachne, the tragic tale of a woman ensnared by pride and caught in the tangled web of a jealous goddess. This retelling contains themes that some may find distressing, including physical assault and suicidal ideation.

Download or read book Gods of a Nameless Country written by Jeffrey Thomas and published by JournalStone. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the land its people know only as the Unnamed Country has remained hidden from the eyes and minds of the rest of the world by dense jungles and formidable mountains. And within those jungles and mountains lurk mysterious and terrifying creatures: jade-green tigers, frighteningly intelligent wild pigs, and shadow people that may just be the precursor to human beings. Caught between their ancient history and the uncertainties of the future, the people who dwell there are ruled over by Ten Jeweled Gods…and the Ten Demon Lords of Hell. Acclaim for Jeffrey Thomas’s Unnamed Country stories: “This is a modern classic of writing about another country or culture on the level of Lafcadio Hearn or Italo Calvino. It belongs on the shelf of any, and every, bookstore in any airport with a flight to Southeast Asia. Its stories are disturbing, insightful, macabre, vivid, grotesque, propulsive, engaging and endlessly inventive.” —Paul StJohn Mackintosh, greydogtales, on The Unnamed Country. “Jeffrey Thomas’s unique flair for the unspeakable never shines brighter than when he visits the Southeast Asia of his dreams, and nowhere does he delve deeper into that strange green country than here.” —Cody Goodfellow, author of Vertical, on Scenes From a Village. “If you know something about Jeffrey Thomas’s fiction, you’ll know that when he’s not writing Weird SF stories set in the infamous and crime-ridden Punktown he sometimes explores “the unnamed country.” This country resembles the Viet Nam that Thomas has frequently visited, but…Viet Nam as seen through a lens slightly distorted by, or perhaps slightly sharpened by, imagination.” —Brian Evenson, from his introduction to The Spirit of Place.
