Download or read book Soulrender written by Blake Walker and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you sacrifice your soul to save mankind? Katrina and Erik stopped and stared. On the floor was a glowing arcane circle inscribed with mystical runes, and in the middle of that was a magical portal through which they could see another world. Standing beside this mystical gateway was a man wearing a dark robe. He raised his right hand and pointed one bony finger at Katrina. Between Katrina and the otherworldly portal was one of the maggot creatures, and another one was squirming its way through the gateway. Behind that she could see scores more, perhaps hundreds more, all clamoring, pushing and shoving to reach the portal to escape from their own abyssal hell, to emerge here in Mar Delenne. It would be up to them to stop this hellish invasion. Young Katrina, training to be a warrior of both the blade and the mind, finds herself suddenly cursed with an immense and awful power, and at the center of a struggle for world domination. Evil entities from the foulest pits of the abyss plot to invade her world intent on slaughtering or subjugating all of mankind. Katrina might hold the power to stop them. But she quickly learns that using this power may demand that she sacrifice her very soul in order to save mankind.

If Sirscha can discover what—or who—that is via their connection, she might be able to cut him off from his power before he returns to full strength. Meanwhile, Sirscha and her allies journey west to the shaman empire of Nuval to treat with the Ember Princess. They hope to rally the people into uniting against their common enemy, but that’s easier said than done. Queen Meilyr is pursuing her imperialistic agenda, and she claims to hold a token that gives her power even over the Soulless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roland Tankowicz prefers to stay out of corporate wars; however, some battles just can’t be avoided. Racing back home after the encounter with the Prospectors, Roland and his team find themselves pulled off course when an old foe resurfaces to thwart their plan for a clean getaway. Things get worse when the chase leads them to Gethsemane. Dominated by a powerful religious order that is long on profit and short on salvation, the green and wealthy planet proves to be treacherous ground for those who don’t fit in. If the corporations battling for supremacy were not enough, competing factions from Gethsemane stalk the fixers as well. Some want what the corporations are fighting over, others want something altogether more unseemly. Roland and the crew find themselves at odds with secret police, knights in shining armor, and more than a few spies and assassins while navigating this strange collision of interplanetary politics and religion. What is clear is that Gethsemane is no place for ham-handed tactics or reckless brawling. The situation begs for discretion, subtlety, and sophistication. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Roland Tankowicz is on the job. He does not do subtlety and sophistication costs extra. Can Roland win a deadly game of hide-and-seek in the grimy underbelly of a garden paradise? What happens when faith collides with conviction in the mind of a madman?

Download or read book Computer Games and New Media Cultures written by Johannes Fromme and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital gaming is today a significant economic phenomenon as well as being an intrinsic part of a convergent media culture in postmodern societies. Its ubiquity, as well as the sheer volume of hours young people spend gaming, should make it ripe for urgent academic enquiry, yet the subject was a research backwater until the turn of the millennium. Even today, as tens of millions of young people spend their waking hours manipulating avatars and gaming characters on computer screens, the subject is still treated with scepticism in some academic circles. This handbook aims to reflect the relevance and value of studying digital games, now the subject of a growing number of studies, surveys, conferences and publications. As an overview of the current state of research into digital gaming, the 42 papers included in this handbook focus on the social and cultural relevance of gaming. In doing so, they provide an alternative perspective to one-dimensional studies of gaming, whose agendas do not include cultural factors. The contributions, which range from theoretical approaches to empirical studies, cover various topics including analyses of games themselves, the player-game interaction, and the social context of gaming. In addition, the educational aspects of games and gaming are treated in a discrete section. With material on non-commercial gaming trends such as ‘modding’, and a multinational group of authors from eleven nations, the handbook is a vital publication demonstrating that new media cultures are far more complex and diverse than commonly assumed in a debate dominated by concerns over violent content.

Download or read book Nigh Nirvana written by Jonathan Stucki and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airen tired to slow his breathing, calm his racing heart. The blood rushing in his ears was like crashing cymbals. He clutched so tightly to his bow that he could feel the grain press into his hands. Sweat poured down his face into his stinging clamped eyes, and down his tunic. But his breath would not slow; he could not contain his panic. They would all die. Papa, his brother, their brave soldiers. He could see the face of one of his father's men; gut torn open, his mouth oddly skewed after life passed out from his last desperate scream. He could see all the blood awash on the floor of the forest, trailing into sickening pools near the trees' roots. Smears of gore covered trunks and limbs of the forest, and hunks of bodies were strewn about, mangled beyond recognition. By the time he had realized it, the attack was over. The din of battle was not to be heard, only the groans of the dying. They had been ambushed with the speed of light being snuffed from a room. There was no lingering, only death.

It offers a clearly articulated path, which has the potential to touch the heart of your very reason for being, allowing you to come alive in ways that can utterly transform your journey of self-awareness to one of soul-awareness."--Cover.

Book excerpt: Discover an epic tale of magic, revenge, and an empire on the verge of ruin in the first ever novel set in the blockbuster universe of League of Legends. Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire’s knights go, slaughter follows. Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin’s poisoned blade strikes Viego’s wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure. As Isolde’s condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen’s salvation, if only Kalista can find them. But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles’ capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right--for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world. "In the tradition of the most memorable Greek tragedies, Anthony Reynolds weaves a propulsive tale of love, loss, war, and duty that recalls the adage, ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good to do nothing.’ Those familiar with League of Legends know where this story must leave us, but Ruination's power is that—like all good myths—knowing how it ends is just the beginning." – Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons "Ruination is a rousing, intrigue and action rich tale sure to delight fans of fantasy." – Anthony Ryan, author of The Pariah "Fast-paced and entertaining epic fantasy - thoroughly enjoyable, and a worthy addition to the world that League of Legends began fleshing out with Arcane. Recommended for fans and newcomers alike." – James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost

A shadow has fallen over the Tressian Republic. Ruling families -- once protectors of justice and democracy -- now plot against one another with sharp words and sharper knives. Blinded by ambition, they remain heedless of the threat posed by the invading armies of the Hadari Empire. Yet as Tressia falls, heroes rise. Viktor Akadra is the Republic's champion. A warrior without equal, he hides a secret that would see him burned as a heretic. Josiri Trelan is Viktor's sworn enemy. A political prisoner, he dreams of reigniting his mother's failed rebellion. And yet Calenne Trelan, Josiri's sister, seeks only to break free of their tarnished legacy; to escape the expectation and prejudice that haunts the family name. As war spreads across the Republic, these three must set aside their differences in order to save their home. Yet decades of bad blood are not easily set aside. And victory -- if it comes at all -- will demand a darker price than any of them could have imagined.
