Download or read book Priest King s Consort written by Lisa Blackwood and published by Lisa Blackwood Books. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s as lethal as he is beautiful, desired and feared by all. She’s big, bloodthirsty, and obliterates her enemies. Never should they have met. But they did... When an unknown enemy tries to end the ruling line of the Soul Mages, Verdria is more than ready to defend Priest-King Elect Honryn and his allies in this enemy land she now must call home. But then Honryn demands she also save his sire and two older brothers—save the very soul mages responsible for the deaths of many of her people—she rebels at Honryn’s orders, until he explains why his enemies can’t die yet. But Verdria will need the aid of another lethal enemy to achieve her goal. Going against every instinct she possesses, she does as Honryn asks and seeks out his uncle, the ruling Priest-King, for his aid. Together they form an uneasy alliance that strikes terror into their enemies. While the first attempt to end the ruling line of the Soul Mage empire may have failed, Verdria is kept busy. Many factions deem Honryn too powerful and dangerous and want him dead… But even his enemies don’t know the real reason they should fear him… That they should fear what he’s becoming… Because the Serpent God soon plans to claim Honryn as his new mortal host and Verdria as his consort. Once he does, no one will ever be safe again. But Verdria's greatest nemesis is her own traitorous heart... For she wants Honryn and the monster he becomes. Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, morally grey hero, slowburn with steam, never-even-kissed heroine, inexperienced celibate hero, royal romance, forced proximity, who hurt you, touch him and die, touch her and die, court intrigue, ‘oops I unalived a bunch of people again’ hero and heroine. Author's Note: While most of my fantasy romances are standalone, this one is a continuing story and you need to read Soul Mage first. And by the way, this one does not have a major cliffhanger at the end.

Book excerpt: He’s as lethal as he is beautiful, desired and feared by all. She’s big, bloodthirsty, and obliterates her enemies. Never should they have met. But they did... With the Serpent God’s ultimatum hanging over them, Honryn and Verdria know they are running out of time. The Festival of the Vine is only four months away. And on that night the deity will claim Honryn as his mortal vessel and Verdria as his consort—a fate they both want to avoid. Yet one of the Serpent God’s new ‘gifts’ to Verdria allows her to wield soul mage magic, and she discovers she can now create long-distance portal spells like Honryn. This proves groundbreaking because Honryn has been building a secret settlement—a city situated between dragon territory and Verdria’s own homeland—and with Verdria’s help Honryn can now supply his secret new settlement twice as fast, thus guaranteeing he can evacuate all his people to the new settlement before he becomes the host for a hostile god. But there is just one problem with his plan. Honryn isn’t planning to go with them. He’s going to stay behind and become the new Priest-King and the mortal vessel for the Serpent God. Because if Honryn doesn’t stay behind, and he flees with his family back to the mountains, his uncle will send the might of the empire to crush Verdria’s homeland and ‘rescue’ Honryn. As far as Verdria is concerned, she only has two choices—find a way to free Honryn from the Serpent God or stay by his side and become his consort. Because there’s no way she’s abandoning him.

Download or read book The Origins of Greek Religion written by Bernard C. Dietrich and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nilsson's seminal work on Minoan-Myceanaean religion had its second edition in 1950 prior to the decipherment of Linear B; yet he found much in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age which he associated with later Greek religion. In that respect his insights were vindicated by the reading of those tablets which bore the names of classical Greek divinities, though at tme time new conclusions were needed about Indo-European arrival in Greek lands. Dietrich, with Nilsson very much in mind, starts from the premises that beliefs and their associated rites are inherently conservative; that, even where populations change, they tend to do so gradually, creating fusions rather than wholesale disruptions in ritual practice. An understanding of classical Greek religion thus, necessarily, depends on appreciation of its forerunners in the Bronze Age; and they, in turn, on evidence from the better documented religions of the Middle East. Dietrich's four main chapters deal first with those eastern links; then with the old traditions of Minoan Crete; next with the interplay of pre-Greek Minoan and Greek Mycenaean cultures; and finally he attempts to bridge the commonly assumed divide between bronze age and archaic Greece. Appendixes deal with Minoan peak-sanctuaries, with Apollo at Delphi, and (sympathetically) with Nilsson's pervasive view that Greek mythology was first formulated in the Mycenaean age. In these areas a great deal more work has been done since 1974. Dietrich's thoroughly researched work was at once trend-setting and provocative. It is here made available for the first time in paperback; for it still contains much of importance for the student of Greek religion.

Download or read book The Canopic Equipment Of The Kings of Egypt written by Aidan Dodson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994. The term 'Canopic', as applied to the containers employed by the Egyptians to contain the embalmed internal organs of the deceased, derives from a case of mistaken identity. The aims of this monograph are primarily archaeological and historical, to document all canopic equipment attributable to the kings of Egypt, and to discuss each element in its spatial and temporal context. Translations of all available texts are provided, but no attempt is made to discuss them from a detailed religious or philological standpoint.
Download or read book Deciphering the Proto Sinaitic Script written by Paul D. LeBlanc and published by Subclass Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt, Judaism, and the history of the alphabet intersect in Deciphering The Proto-Sinaitic Script. From its initial appearance, in around the 18th century BC, the origins of proto–Sinaitic writing can be traced back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom period, when it was somehow derived from the hieroglyphs, its parent–system. The importance of proto–Sinaitic lies in the fact that it represents the alphabet’s earliest developmental period—a kind of ‘missing link’ between the hieroglyphs and these early Semitic alphabets from which our own Latin one descends, by way of the Phoenician and Greek. However, up until now, proto-Sinaitic has remained for the most part undeciphered. The intriguing possibility of giving voice to a lost culture or civilization from thousands of years ago is tantalizing. Representing one of the most enticing problems in modern archaeology, the enigmatic allure surrounding ancient languages and the undeciphered scripts in which they are encoded is truly vexing. In his bold and original research, LeBlanc argues convincingly to have solved the mystery and uncovers some incredibly enthralling information about the people who invented it: The epigraphic evidence suggests that the Egyptianized Canaanites who first devised the proto–Sinaitic script were surprisingly instrumental in the formation of early Israelite culture and proto–Judaism.
