Temur, grandson of the Great Khan, is walking from a battlefield where he was left for dead. All around lie the fallen armies of his cousin and his brother who made war to rule the Khaganate. Temur is now the legitimate heir by blood to his grandfather's throne, but he is not the strongest. Going into exile is the only way to survive his ruthless cousin. Once-Princess Samarkar is climbing the thousand steps of the Citadel of the Wizards of Tsarepheth. She was heir to the Rasan Empire until her father got a son on a new wife. Then she was sent to be the wife of a Prince in Song, but that marriage ended in battle and blood. Now she has renounced her worldly power to seek the magical power of the wizards. These two will come together to stand against the hidden cult that has so carefully brought all the empires of the Celadon Highway to strife and civil war through guile and deceit and sorcerous power.

Love, action, fantasy, and world-building." - Kelly St. Clare, USA Today bestselling author Patricia aka Pain is known as a "kill first/ask questions later" kind of girl. She has to be, living in a city crawling with Beasts - her own kind gone rogue and using their supernatural gift to prey on humans.

Download or read book Ghosts written by Ivan Turgenev and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original Russian manuscript with a new Afterword by the Translator, a glossary of Turgenev's philosophic terms, and a timeline of his life and major contributions. "Призраки" (translated as "Phantoms" or "Apparitions" or"Ghosts") is a work by Ivan Turgenev that explores themes of memory, loss and the supernatural. Written in a style that combines psychological depth and ethereal mystery, Turgenev provides a narrative that goes beyond mere ghost stories, integrating psychological, emotional and existential aspects into the supernatural events. Turgenev explores a Necrology- the connection between the living and the dead, where the apparitions may symbolise unfulfilled desires, unresolved issues or unattained peace. The stories serve not only as ghost stories, but also as explorations of the human psyche, revealing the characters' inner fears, guilt and unresolved emotions. The ghosts in his stories manifest buried or repressed emotions and memories, weaving a complex narrative that combines the eerie atmosphere of supernatural tales with profound, often melancholic reflections on life, death and the human soul. His exploration of the supernatural is not merely for the thrill of the ghostly, but is deeply intertwined with his exploration of the emotional and moral realms of human existence. Turgenev actually wrote to Dostoevsky about this novella Ghosts in a letter dated May 25th, 1863: "Dear Fyodor Mikhailovich, I have not written to you for so long because I wanted to say something positive to you. Now I can inform you that I have begun to rewrite a thing - I don't know what to call it - at any rate not a story - rather a fantasy, under the title: "Ghosts". - It has long been in my mind, but I have long for it - and for nothing - did not take it. I am afraid, as if it would not seem too unmodern, almost childish - especially in the current difficult and important time. - However, you will see for yourself - and if necessary, I will write a small - apologetic; preface or introduction. You will receive it in two or three weeks. - It is too two pages of typewritten paper, by my reckoning. - I have settled here for the whole summer and hope to work. I couldn't do anything in Paris. - Write to me here. - The air is light here and the land is beautiful."

Download or read book Ghosts written by Roger Clarke and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice A comprehensive, authoritative and readable history of the evolution of the ghost in the west, examining the behavior of the subject in its preferred environment: the stories we tell each other. "Roger Clarke tells this [the story that inspired Henry James' The Turn of the Screw] and many other gloriously weird stories with real verve, and also a kind of narrative authority that tends to constrain the skeptical voice within... [An] erudite and richly entertaining book." —New York Times Book Review No matter how rationally we order our lives, few of us are completely immune to the suggestion of the uncanny and the fear of the dark. What explains sightings of ghosts? Why do they fascinate us? What exactly do those who have been haunted see? What did they believe? And what proof is there? Taking us through the key hauntings that have obsessed the world, from the true events that inspired Henry James's classic The Turn of the Screw right up to the present day, Roger Clarke unfolds a story of class conflict, charlatans, and true believers. The cast list includes royalty and prime ministers, Samuel Johnson, John Wesley, Harry Houdini, and Adolf Hitler. The chapters cover everything from religious beliefs to modern developments in neuroscience, the medicine of ghosts, and the technology of ghosthunting. There are haunted WWI submarines, houses so blighted by phantoms they are demolished, a seventeenth-century Ghost Hunter General, and the emergence of the Victorian flash mob, where hundreds would stand outside rumored sites all night waiting to catch sight of a dead face at a window. Written as grippingly as the best ghost fiction, A Natural History of Ghosts takes us on an unforgettable hunt through the most haunted places of the last five hundred years and our longing to believe.
