Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "While the first book of this series introduced you to the characters and the fascinating world the author has created; this book brings the story to a whole new level." Family is more than blood; they're people you would shed blood for. East Greenwich is a town shrouded in secrets. A fact that Mercy is scarred emotionally and physically by. Since her Awakening and joining the coven, Mercy had to sever all ties her previous body harbored; including her feelings for Dorian and Caleb-so she could channel her full witch powers to protect the coven. It doesn't make them any less of a target when dark forces are baring their fangs in the shadows. When one of their own is attacked; the entire coven is prepared to track down the immortal-or mortal-responsible. A new vampire clan has made Providence their hunting ground; their leader is someone a little too close to home for Mercy. No one is safe. Even Angels fall. Bodies of the innocent are crowding the morgue. Tensions rise between them as they race to investigate the intentions behind this murderous killing spree. Mercy is far from the woman she used to be before her Awakening-shoulder to shoulder; she'll stand against this threatening darkness. For the coven; her family. Not all will survive the fight. As Elements align-strength and sacrifice combine. Author Notes & Disclaimer: Violence, mild language, non-graphic intimacy scene and attempted rape scene. This will be a three-book series. It is recommended to read book one, 'The Dark Awakening' before reading book two. Their final battle will conclude in book three, and will be released in the fall of 2019 or spring of 2020

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Black is lost between the world of war and the land of myth in this illustrated novel that transports the tale of Orpheus to World War II–era London. Brothers Marcus and Julian Sedgwick team up to pen this haunting tale of another pair of brothers, caught between life and death in World War II. Harry Black, a conscientious objector, artist, and firefighter battling the blazes of German bombing in London in 1944, wakes in the hospital to news that his soldier brother, Ellis, has been killed. In the delirium of his wounded state, Harry’s mind begins to blur the distinctions between the reality of war-torn London, the fiction of his unpublished sci-fi novel, and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Driven by visions of Ellis still alive and a sense of poetic inevitability, Harry sets off on a search for his brother that will lead him deep into the city’s Underworld. With otherworldly paintings by Alexis Deacon depicting Harry’s surreal descent further into the depths of hell, this eerily beautiful blend of prose, verse, and illustration delves into love, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood as it builds to a fierce indictment of mechanized warfare.

Download or read book Uncursing the Dark written by Betty De Shong Meador and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the myth of Inanna's descent to the Underworld, rendered in breathtaking poetry, Betty de Shong Meador sets forth on a journey of the feminine in five stages--poetry, essay, and prose tying together her study of feminine initiation across time and culture. Her description of a Blessingway Sing reveals the balance of feminine and masculine achieved in the Navajo culture. A critique of Doris Lessing's novels captures the felt sense of descent and discovery. Research on a Greek women's ritual--the Thesmophoria--and a survey of recent archeological findings from the ancient goddess cultures add history and substance to the ideas of the feminine. A clinical study of the relationship between female therapist and female client demonstrates one contemporary mode for such exploration. Thus we learn that there are many routes for exploring the lost initiations of women into the progress of their souls and the ways of the Goddess.

But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice. Zeus calls Hades "lord" of the dead as a joke.

But Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. She finds love, and herself.
