Book excerpt: "Show me a dragon. Show me a dragon." Meghan paused the mumbled incantation long enough to reach for the stone bottle and take a sip of watery beer for her parched throat. Most mages could get magical results without vocalizing their wishes, but despite years of practicing in secrecy, she still needed to shape and expel the words to get any action. "Show me a dragon. Show me a dragon." The bronze relic gripped in Meghan's left hand was her most precious possession, but it was so worn from handling that only the closest examination would reveal the outline of a dragon in flight. Once the emblem had stood out in proud relief from the surrounding metal and could be pressed into hot wax to create a seal. Now, worn around her neck on a leather cord, the medallion served a more important purpose as a lens and a reservoir for magic. Every day she worked with it for hours, using it to focus her search, while at the same time storing up her excess magical energy for what would be the turning point of her young life. "Show me a dragon. Show me a dragon." Her mind soared above Dark Earth like a bird of prey,watching for a hint of the pattern that would trigger an all-or-nothing effort. When she had embarked on the quest for a dragon in her fifteenth year of life, each outing had required nearly an hour of preparatory meditation to sharpen her concentration and awaken her senses. After two years of practice, Meghan was able to launch into the extra-dimensional search like slipping on an old dress, which, coincidentally, was the only sort of dress she owned. "Show me a dragon. Show me a dragon." The dragon pendant began to glow softly and vibrate in her hand, like a crystal that was tuning a sympathetic source of energy. Horrific scenes of battle and villainy danced before the girl's tightly shut eyes as she allowed every intense emotion rising from Dark Earth to sift through her consciousness. Before too long she'd have to break off and leave for work, but there was just enough time left to investigate the brightest death vision she had ever encountered. "Send me a dragon. Bring me the dragon!" For the first time in more astral outings than she could count, everything fell into alignment. With a muffled cry that expressed more pain than triumph, Meghan opened the floodgates and allowed her stored up magical energy to begin coursing from the relic clenched in her left hand, through her slight body, and into her outstretched right arm and hand. "You must come with me. NOW!"

Download or read book Dragons and Dragonslayers written by Tim Chester and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This imaginatively illustrated book includes eight dragon myths from China, Greece, Japan, England, Iceland, and even America--and explains why we are telling these kinds of stories. This collection tells story after exciting story about dragons. You have probably heard some of them, but some of them will surprise and excite you. We don't just hear the stories of St. George, Perseus, and Thor. We also learn the story of John Lambtown, a man who goes fishing, catches a tiny dragon that quickly grows to epic proportions, and can only be defeated with a bizarre suit of armor. We laugh at the story of the tiny storm god Susannoo who outwits a dragon the size of eight hills with rice wine. We shudder as we hear about the fight of the red and white dragons of Wales and the king that cleverly trapped them. We even get to hear about a dragon that terrorized Indians in Illinois. Each of these stories resonates with us because of something deep in the human imagination that loves to hear about fighting fierce dragons. In the Garden of Eden, it was a dragon that tricked our first parents, and at the end of the Bible, the book of Revelation, the dragon is identified as Satan. Pastor and author Tim Chester explains what these stories mean, and how we should live in the world as a result. Canonball Books is the children's imprint of Canon Press. At Canonball, we believe stories are soul food, so you can expect excitement, danger, loyalty, virtue, and family in your Canonball books. Feed your kids the right books!

Download or read book By Fairy Means Or Foul written by Meghan Maslow and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there's no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn's seductive magic. To add to his woes, Twig is saddled with the unicorn's cheeky indentured servant, Quinn Broomsparkle. Dragons are supposed to want to eat humans, but Twig's half-dragon side only wants to gobble up Quinn in a more . . . personal way. Making matters worse, it's obvious the smokin' hot but untrustworthy sidekick is hiding something. Something big. And not what's in his trousers. In the PI business, that means trouble with a capital Q. Throw in gads of zombies, a creepy ghost pirate ship, a malfunctioning magic carpet, and Twig's overbearing fairy father's demands to live up to the illustrious Starfig name. Naturally, an old but abiding enemy chooses this time to resurface, too. Those inconveniences Twig can handle. The realization he's falling for a human who isn't free to return his affections and whose life may hang on the success of his latest case? Not so much.

Stealing a spaceship from the planet Zelora probably wasn't the best way to start a relationship with the Prince. But returning home wasn't an option once she set eyes upon his muscled body with the scaly dragon skin on his shoulder, his long, black hair, and mesmerizing golden, eyes. She vowed she'd take her chances with the Dragon Prince, and learn to live amongst the dragons. From the first moment he'd met Satin, Prince Drayce Quinn had fallen in love with the blonde-haired, svelte vixen with the cerulean blue eyes. But it was so much more than her looks, it was her intelligence and independent nature that attracted him to. She might have been strong-willed, even defiant, but that didn't mean he had exactly what it took to bend that strong will to his. So, when she impulsively stole a spacecraft and traveled to his planet, he couldn't wait to marry her...and punish her. Being married to the stern and unyielding Prince and Warlord wouldn't be easy for his girl, but their nights of passion together would more than make up for it It didn't take long before their happy marriage was tested with an unexpected battle and a new, terrifying enemy. The outbreak of war threatened everything, and with it came the possibility of losing each other-forever. But commanding an army of dragons and warlords was what Drayce did best, and the fires of hell itself couldn't stop he and the dragons from rescuing his bride from the enemy.

She analyses the implications of the actions of a young and ambitious Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in love with each other and with the empowering lure of fame and fortune, and leads the reader through the maze of contradictions Meghan and Harry have created—while also evoking the Californian culture that has influenced the couple's conduct.
