The Kings of Viemis have sent their daughters to Kava for generations, to become one of the many wives of the all-powerful Maelstrom—and not a single one of them has been seen or heard from again. With the departure of the latest princess looming, her royal parents have spared no expense in finding some way to stay informed of her fate. On their command, the kingdom’s glyphwriters rushed to redevelop a lost magical technology, capable of communication over great distances. But the technology requires a glyphwriter to operate it. Cyrele, too low-born to rise beyond the rank of an assistant despite her skill, receives the command to become the princess’ personal glyphwriter. It leaves her with no choice but to embark on a journey no one has ever returned from, across a land filled with the Maelstrom’s power—and riddled with his secrets. So long as no one seeks out the Maelstrom’s secrets, the princess’ retinue will arrive safely in Kava. But secrets exist to be found out—the only question is, who will survive the discovery? Journey into the unknown with Secrets of the Forbidden Land, a short adventure fantasy novel about a resourceful but unwilling protagonist pitted against all-powerful god-kings.

Download or read book Secret and Silent Men of 1798 written by James Caulfield and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academia has inexplicably ignored and omitted the presence of The Society of Freemasons in Ireland in most of the popular history books. This omission is confusing and somewhat illogical considering the overwhelming weight of evidence, not only of their existence but also their involvement in every facet of Irish affairs for more than 200 years. Their absence from the history books leaves a void which curtains the vital information needed to complete the sorry picture of 1798.

Download or read book In Secret written by Robert William Chambers and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evening was becoming one of the coldest ever recorded in New York. The thermometer had dropped to 8 degrees below zero and was still falling. Fifth Avenue glittered, sheathed in frost; traffic police on post stamped and swung their arms to keep from freezing; dry snow underfoot squeaked when trodden on; crossings were greasy with glare ice. It was, also, one of those meatless, wheatless, heatless nights when the privation which had hitherto amused New York suddenly became an ugly menace. There was no coal to be had and only green wood. The poor quietly died, as usual; the well-to-do ventured a hod and a stick or two in open grates, or sat huddled under rugs over oil or electric stoves; or migrated to comfortable hotels. And bachelors took to their clubs. That is where Clifford Vaux went from his chilly bachelor lodgings. He fled in a taxi, buried cheek-deep in his fur collar, hating all cold, all coal companies, and all Kaisers. In the Racquet Club he found many friends similarly self-dispossessed, similarly obsessed by discomfort and hatred. But there seemed to be some steam heat there, and several open fires; and when the wheatless, meatless meal was ended and the usual coteries drifted to their usual corners, Mr. Vaux found himself seated at a table with a glass of something or other at his elbow, which steamed slightly and had a long spoon in it; and he presently heard himself saying to three other gentlemen: "Four hearts." His voice sounded agreeably in his own ears; the gentle glow of a lignum-vitae wood fire smote his attenuated shins; he balanced his cards in one hand, a long cigar in the other, exhaled a satisfactory whiff of aromatic smoke, and smiled comfortably upon the table.
