After falling foul of the City Watch and being thrown into the dungeons, she is suddenly thrust into the world of royalty and of magic. It is revealed she possesses a rare gift - the power of a Gold mage. Arina, the Queen, and one of the greatest Mages in her own right, quickly recognizes her power and commits to mentor and guide the young girl. Arth, an enigmatic Swordmaster, recently having lost his dear friend and liege, gets a message from across the veil to go to the west and find the one he is meant to protect. Arth soon reaches Galadrid and discovers Elissa and thus begins his connection as both a friend and as a master. As she trains under Arina & Arth's guidance, Elissa makes an unlikely friend in Thahim, a young lord. But her new life is far from safe. A strange enemy starts to arise to plague both the people of Galadrid and the greater kingdom. Arth, Elissa and the crown struggle to understand this rising enemy and to protect its people from the evils and destruction it heralds. Meanwhile, an ancient evil stir in the shadows, its insidious power growing. Elissa discovers that a Gold Mage is a sign of an impending age of turmoil. History has shown that, in such an age, chaos soon follows, and of impending battles between the light and dark forces. The more she learns the more she fears for the future. As Elissa wrestles with her newfound powers and responsibilities she encounters intrigue and politics swirling around her. She is confronted by the intrigues of the court and the tenuous relationship of the King, Drathren and the Guild of Mages. The realization that enemies of the crown exist within the very members of the court. Some challenge the authority of the Crown with Elissa finding herself unwittingly at the center of the resulting storm. When Elissa and Thahim make a startling discovery deep in the city, they unwittingly trigger lethal intentions. Betrayals and danger follow their every step, leading to Elissa facing her darkest hour. To save her friends and defeat the diabolical evil she discovers, she must accept her destiny and master the full might of her golden light. But even victories come at a terrible price. A wordless threat reveals greater shadows yet to come, and Elissa realizes her training has only just begun. The fate of the realm now rests on her shoulders in an epic struggle that will test the limits of her power - and her soul. Gripping from the first page to the chilling cliffhanger's end, The Rise of the Othari spins an epic tale of magic, mystery, and courage against overwhelming evil. Perfect for fans of character driven fantasy, this is the debut of an exciting new voice in epic fantasy. The Age of Shadows has only just begun.

Download or read book Green Growth written by Gareth Dale and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discourse of ‘green growth’ has recently gained ground in environmental governance deliberations and policy proposals. It is presented as a fresh and innovative agenda centred on the deployment of engineering sophistication, managerial acumen and market mechanisms to redress the environmental and social derelictions of the existing development model. But the green growth project is deeply inadequate, whether assessed against criteria of social justice or the achievement of sustainable economic life upon a materially finite planet. This volume outlines three main lines of critique. First, it traces the development of the green growth discourse quaideology. It asks: what explains modern society’s investment in it, why has it emerged as a master concept in the contemporary conjuncture, and what social forces does it serve? Second, it unpicks and explains the contradictions within a series of prominent green growth projects. Finally, it weighs up the merits and demerits of alternative strategies and policies, asking the vital question: ‘if not green growth, then what?’

Download or read book Evaluation in Context written by Geoff Thompson and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now an acknowledged fact in the world of linguistics that the concept of evaluation is crucial, and that there is very little – if any – discourse that cannot be analyzed through the prism of its evaluative content. This book presents some of the latest developments in the study of this phenomenon. Released more than a decade later than Hunston and Thompson’s (2000) Evaluation in Text, Evaluation in Context is designed as its sequel, in an attempt to continue, update and extend the different avenues of research opened by the earlier work. Both theoretical and empirical studies on the topic are presented, with the intention of scrutinizing as many of its dimensions as possible, by not only looking at evaluative texts, but also considering the aspects of the discursive context that affect the final evaluative meaning at both the production and reception stages of the evaluative act. The editors’ main objective has been to gather contributions which investigate the manifold faces and phases of evaluation by presenting a wide variety of perspectives that include different linguistic theories (e.g. Axiological Semantics, Functionalism or Politeness Theory), different levels of linguistic description (e.g. phonological, lexical or semantic), and different text types and contexts (e.g. the evaluation found in ironic discourse, the multimodality of media discourse or the world of politics, just to name a few). The volume can be of use not only for scholars who study the evaluative function of language, but also for students who wish to pursue research in the area.
