Book excerpt: Wendy Higgins, the author of the New York Times bestselling Sweet Evil series, reimagines a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale with The Great Hunt, a dramatic, romance-filled fantasy with rugged hunters, romantic tension, and a princess willing to risk all to save her kingdom. When a monstrous beast attacks in Eurona, desperate measures must be taken. The king sends a proclamation to the best and bravest hunters: whoever kills the creature will win the hand of his daughter Princess Aerity as a reward. The princess recognizes her duty but cannot bear the idea of marrying a stranger—she was meant to marry for love—until a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention. And while there’s no denying the fiery chemistry between them, Princess Aerity feels that Paxton’s mysteriousness is foreboding, maybe even dangerous. Paxton is not the marrying type. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He is determined to keep his focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast—but the princess continues to surprise him, and the secrets he’s buried begin to surface against his wishes.

Cast out by the Archon she served for half a century, Tay turns to the ruler of Brooklyn in an attempt to regain her status. But the decadent, forever-young, Bethania has no intention of offering aid for free. In the tunnels below Manhattan, as Archon Bethania's spy Tay nearly loses her life a second time—only to be saved once again by the man she thought had betrayed her. The man she's slowly coming to realize might be her only true friend. With Manhattan in flames and a new race of monsters loose in the streets, Kaiden and Tay must trust each other now more than ever. If only that was as easily done as said. Kaiden Ottaker is an abomination. Saving Tabitha Maslov the first time was a mistake the Shifter Alpha Lubok might have forgiven. Deliberately turning his back on his own people in the tunnels to save her again is a decision he won't. But Kaiden can't stand by and watch the Elder die, even if his choice means he'll never again have a pack. Kaiden can't ignore the connection he feels to Tay, but he doesn't have time to analyze his growing feelings for the strong-willed, beautiful vampire. Archon Jeremiah unleashes a plague of abominations based on Kaiden's mutated DNA, the Archon of the Bronx wants a monster for his own ends, and more than one person in power wants both of the renegades dead. On the run and facing enemies on every side, can Kaiden and Tay change the course of the war between the Archons and stop Lubok's deadly plot? Or will New York City fall forever into darkness?

Download or read book The Japanese Cinema Book written by Hideaki Fujiki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese Cinema Book provides a new and comprehensive survey of one of the world's most fascinating and widely admired filmmaking regions. In terms of its historical coverage, broad thematic approach and the significant international range of its authors, it is the largest and most wide-ranging publication of its kind to date. Ranging from renowned directors such as Akira Kurosawa to neglected popular genres such as the film musical and encompassing topics such as ecology, spectatorship, home-movies, colonial history and relations with Hollywood and Europe, The Japanese Cinema Book presents a set of new, and often surprising, perspectives on Japanese film. With its plural range of interdisciplinary perspectives based on the expertise of established and emerging scholars and critics, The Japanese Cinema Book provides a groundbreaking picture of the different ways in which Japanese cinema may be understood as a local, regional, national, transnational and global phenomenon. The book's innovative structure combines general surveys of a particular historical topic or critical approach with various micro-level case studies. It argues there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but instead a fluid and varied field of Japanese filmmaking cultures that continue to exist in a dynamic relationship with other cinemas, media and regions. The Japanese Cinema Book is divided into seven inter-related sections: · Theories and Approaches · * Institutions and Industry · * Film Style · * Genre · * Times and Spaces of Representation · * Social Contexts · * Flows and Interactions
