Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson comes an original fairy tale that's sure to enchant you ... The first time I fell in love with Princess Mele was when I saw her smile, and I fell in love with her the second time the moment I heard her sing. Two memories burn within Kaipo's heart -- the death of his mother, which left him alone to die, and the arrival of Princess Mele, which gave him a new reason to live. Together with his adopted brother, Kaipo seeks out Jaya, the Fae Queen who lives on the Forbidden Mountain, in order to gain the beauty he requires to win Mele's heart. But Jaya has other plans for the scarred outcast who climbs up her mountain ... The Princess and the Peacock is the first in Birds of Fae, a fantasy fairy tale novella series from C. S. Johnson featuring original, standalone fairy tales. FROM THE BOOK: “Hey, Kaipo, we are almost at the top!” Rahj lets out a cheer as he appears beside me again. He daringly loosens his grip before twisting around to see the sights behind us. “Can you believe the view from up here? No wonder Jaya chose to live here.” I carefully look down at the view below. I can see our whole side of Maluhia as I glance around us. The skies are clear, shining in a way that seems both too light and too blue; the clouds just above the Forbidden Mountain are fluffy and starkly white, as if they know they are used in service to a higher power. The seas that surround Maluhia are a mix of blue and green, the sun and sky eagerly battling for the right to blend their beauty. I can see the coral reef that bends around the beach that leads to the other side of the mountain, where the kingdom’s rich merchants, warriors, and royal family live in the capital city of Shanthi. “You’re right,” I say to Rahj, who somehow smiles even more brightly. “This is incredible.” “This is how the God of all creation must see the world,” Rahj says, his voice full of awe. “From up here, it only looks beautiful. There is no way to see the full ugliness the world carries.” I frown at him, surprised by the remark. There was nothing in his tone to suggest a sullen feeling, but the words were enough to make me wonder. “I am happy to share this with you, Kaipo.” Despite the danger, Rahj reaches out and I clasp his hand in mine. I might have hated Rahj before, but since my scars had branded me as both an outcast and an orphan, he had remained by my side. With Appa gone, and my mother dead and burned, there is no one else. So I smile at him. “Thank you, brother,” I reply, and this time, Rahj does not smile. Instead, I can see the solemn gratitude and pride in his gaze as he nods. His sudden and uncharacteristic seriousness is the last thing I see before the rock under his anchored hand crumbles, and he cries out my name as he falls. “Kaipo!” WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "From the characters to the priceless message of true beauty, this was an engaging and creative tale that pulled me in. I very eagerly look forward to reading more in this series!" ~ Laura A. Grace, Unicorn Quester "Beautiful and satisfying read!" ~ Maurice, Book Reviewer

Book excerpt: From the beloved author of The Warlord and The Dark Knight, an emotional, deeply passionate medieval romance Married and widowed at a tender age, Princess Isabel Plantagenet understands her duty: to wed a new husband chosen by her father for the purpose of consolidating his power. Faulke Segrave, a rogue suspected of high treason whose past wives died under mysterious circumstances, is hardly suitor material, but his piercing blue eyes spark a fire in Isabel that makes her feel oddly safe and deeply curious. Quite a pair they will make, for she has dark secrets of her own that can never see the light of day. Faulke does not relish this arrangement any more than his bride does, but he can’t deny his attraction to this poised, beautiful woman whose level gaze and strong command make him ache to have her. Her seduction becomes his conquest, even as deception and murderous scheming draw closer, threatening Faulke’s life, his heritage, and his cherished wife.

Download or read book Animation in China written by Sean Macdonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the turn of the 21st century, animation production has grown to thousands of hours a year in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Despite this, and unlike American blockbuster productions and the diverse genres of Japanese anime, much animation from the PRC remains relatively unknown. This book is an historical and theoretical study of animation in the PRC. Although the Wan Brothers produced the first feature length animated film in 1941, the industry as we know it today truly began in the 1950s at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio (SAFS), which remained the sole animation studio until the 1980s. Considering animation in China as a convergence of the institutions of education, fine arts, literature, popular culture, and film, the book takes comparative approaches that link SAFS animation to contemporary cultural production including American and Japanese animation, Pop Art, and mass media theory. Through readings of classic films such as Princess Iron Fan, Uproar in Heaven, Princess Peacock, and Nezha Conquers the Dragon King, this study represents a revisionist history of animation in the PRC as a form of "postmodernism with Chinese characteristics." As a theoretical exploration of animation in the People’s Republic of China, this book will appeal greatly to students and scholars of animation, film studies, Chinese studies, cultural studies, political and cultural theory.
