Book excerpt: What hides in men's hearts may be as dark as what lies beneath cursed sands320 B.C.Ptolemy, Egypt's new satrap, is a worried man. A rebel threatens his rule, the Great River has failed to inundate adequately, priests demand ever more coin in return for appeasing the gods and restless people, and he increasingly fears attack by the many warring generals in Asia and Europe.He thinks that the gods have smiled upon him when he receives tantalizing news of an entire army buried in the Great Sand Sea and might solve his desperate need for money to build and supply his own, except that to find it requires him to seek someone he once tried to have murdered.Now Deon, a former captain in Alexander's army, and Eurydice, a noble's daughter with a command of many languages, are back on this tantalizing mission. And they are about to uncover something far more sinister than what they have been asked to find, because when kingdoms are at stake, loyalty, friendship, and family might mean nothing.Books in the Whispers of Atlantis SeriesJourney to the ancient past with these exciting ancient historical fiction books.Note: While Sinister Sands can be read as a standalone, you may enjoy it more if you read the book #1 and #3.1.

  • Author : Leone Huntsman
  • Publisher : Melbourne University Publish
  • Release : 2001
  • ISBN : 9780522849455
  • Pages : 268 pages

Download or read book Sand in Our Souls written by Leone Huntsman and published by Melbourne University Publish. This book was released on 2001 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images of 'the beach' pervade Australian popular culture. However the deeper significance of the experience of 'the beach', and its influence on Australian culture generally, have not yet been seriously explored. How, why and when did the beach become part of the Australian way of life? In Sand in our Souls Leone Huntsman describes the forces and pressures that encouraged or impeded Australians' enjoyment of sand and surf, from early enjoyment of bathing, through nearly a century of repressive restrictions, to freedom won in the face of drawn-out opposition. The ways in which artists, writers, film-makers and the advertising industry have depicted the beach are examined for the light they throw on the beach's significance. She traces the development of a distinctively Australian way-of-being-at-the-beach, suggesting that the beach experience has been absorbed into our emerging culture and continues to shape it in subtle ways. Huntsman's provocative arguments will stimulate debate on the concept of 'national identity' appropriate for a new Australian century, and promote a deeper understanding of an aspect of life in Australia that is cherished by many of those who live here.

Download or read book Confession of the Lioness written by Mia Couto and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark, poetic mystery about the women of the remote village of Kulumani and the lionesses that hunt them Told through two haunting, interwoven diaries, Mia Couto's Confession of the Lioness reveals the mysterious world of Kulumani, an isolated village in Mozambique whose traditions and beliefs are threatened when ghostlike lionesses begin hunting the women who live there. Mariamar, a woman whose sister was killed in a lioness attack, finds her life thrown into chaos when the outsider Archangel Bullseye, the marksman hired to kill the lionesses, arrives at the request of the village elders. Mariamar's father imprisons her in her home, where she relives painful memories of past abuse and hopes to be rescued by Archangel. Meanwhile, Archangel tracks the lionesses in the wilderness, but when he begins to suspect there is more to them than meets the eye, he starts to lose control of his hands. The hunt grows more dangerous, until it's no safer inside Kulumani than outside it. As the men of Kulumani feel increasingly threatened by the outsider, the forces of modernity upon their traditional culture, and the danger of their animal predators closing in, it becomes clear the lionesses might not be real lionesses at all but spirits conjured by the ancient witchcraft of the women themselves. Both a riveting mystery and a poignant examination of women's oppression, Confession of the Lioness explores the confrontation between the modern world and ancient traditions to produce an atmospheric, gripping novel.
