The young fighters Wei-fang and Snow Vase, switched at birth, also have heritages and inheritances that inextricably link them to both each other and the fate of the sword. And Silent Wolf, Shulien's former fiancé, returns from presumed death to thwart Hades Dai—and rekindle an emotionally isolated Shulien's feelings. Jam-packed with all the hallmarks of an epic adventure—sacrifice, battles, betrayal, vengeance, redemption, and destiny—this saga also explores the deeper meaning of true heroism and virtue. As Wei-fang and Snow Vase search for identity and forge their places in the world of warriors and heroes, Shu-lien and Silent Wolf struggle to reconcile both the traditions and heartbreak of the past with a fragile hope for the future.

Download or read book Dead Things written by Stephen Blackmoore and published by Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel Stephen Blackmoore's noir urban fantasy series, in which necromancer Eric Carter returns home to find his sister’s killer—and send them straight to hell... Eric Carter has a unique skill—he can talk to the dead. Specifically, communicating with restless spirits—or other, even worse entities—and getting them to move on or move out. Sometimes, they take a lot of convincing. And sometimes, they straight up try to kill him. It’s not your typical way to make a living, but Carter’s managed to make it work. Life is pretty good. At least it was. Because Carter’s little sister has just been brutally killed. By something nightmarish. To find the killer Eric Carter is going to have to return to L.A., which he left fifteen years ago when he made a lot people—and paranormal entities—very angry. And those people have long, unforgiving memories. But Carter is no pushover. He’s got more heavy-duty magical power than most of those with his skill set, and he’s more than happy to use it on anyone or anything who tries to stop him from finding his sister’s killer. And when he does, he is going to make them pray for death—and then he’s going to answer their prayers... Praise for the Eric Carter series: “Blackmoore employs Chandleresque prose to smoothly incorporate a hard-boiled sense of urban despair into a paranormal plot, with occasional leavening provided by smart-aleck humor.” — Publishers Weekly on Dead Things "In a world where Aztec Mythology, dark magic and grim reality blend together, nothing is what it appears to be... Best of all, Blackmoore’s chillingly good storytelling skills ensures that fans will enjoy every step of this adrenaline fueled journey.” — RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on Broken Souls “This series is so fucking good. Blackmoore can’t write these books fast enough to suit me. BROKEN SOULS is hyper-caffeinated, turbo-bloody face-stomping fun. This is the L.A-noir urban fantasy you’ve been looking for.” — Kevin Hearne, Author of The Iron Druid Chronicles "Carter’s wry voice is amusing as ever, but the grief he carries is palpable, adding depth and a sense of desperation to this action-packed adventure. Readers will be eager for more after this thrilling, emotionally fraught installment.” — Publishers Weekly on Ghost Money, Starred Review Series Order: 1. Dead Things 2. Broken Souls 3. Hungry Ghosts 4. Fire Season 5. Ghost Money 6. Bottle Demon
