Book excerpt: A fallen Valkyrie. A Fae-Wraith hybrid. Enemies become allies to survive a god’s wrath. Odin’s Order to reap an innocent soul from Earth makes me question everything I have ever known as a Valkyrie. Protecting the innocent is our basis for existing, and now I must decide. Do I blindly follow his order? If I don’t, I will be just another casualty in Odin and Thor’s destruction of the realms. Anyone who challenges their rule dies a very public death, regardless of their origins. And now they have enslaved Earth. Reyfyre, a fae-wraith hybrid, and one of Asgard’s enemies, has been hiding in this realm his entire life. When he finds me, he offers asylum as long as I help him kill Odin and Thor. With everything they have done, how can I refuse? When a bounty is placed on my head, we make the decision to leave Reyfyre’s mountain sanctuary and head to New York to get lost in the city of millions. But the trek across the Canadian wilderness brings us face to face with hidden refugees, predators, and thieves. There’s no other option but to survive. If we die, then there will be no one left to stop the callous gods before they destroy the only realm left. But are we strong enough to take down a god? If you like dark twists on Norse Mythology, you will love the Fallen Valkyrie duet.

Book excerpt: Mya is missing. And the Director wants her back. Or worse, dead. Avery’s mission was to find Mya, the lost assassin, who stepped through the portal to Eleka and disappeared. If Avery finds her, she must bring her home, or if Mya is unwilling to return, Avery must kill her. But Mya was the only assassin at the complex who saw Avery as a person. She even gave her the name Avery instead of only the numbers issued to each assassin by the Director. This is not a job she wants. But she’s one of a handful of assassins with fae blood, and she has no choice but to follow the Director’s orders. If she fails, her handler will pay the price. And he has angel blood like she does, which makes him the closest thing to kin that she has. Her only hope is to find Mya and convince her to come home. Or Avery will witness her handler’s death before her own.
Download or read book Ancient Goddess written by J E Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2024-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A soldier. A war. An ungodly order. My name, Kara Mist, means wild, stormy one. I once was a battle-ready warrior, an elite member of Odin's Valkyrie force. But the centuries of peace have softened the Valkyrie to the point our battle practice consists more of cajoling than sparring to keep our skills sharp. Although the other Valkyrie are complacent, I am unsettled. My bones ache for adventure. When peace between the realms crumbles, bringing with it a bloody and world-altering war, I am ready. But Odin's order to reap an innocent soul from Earth is not the adventure I signed up for. Refusing Odin is not something any Valkyrie has done before, and the consequences of disobeying are deadly. Do I blindly follow orders, or do I rebel and face my own demise?

Book excerpt: A fallen Valkyrie. A fae-wraith hybrid. Enemies become allies to survive a god's wrath. Odin and Thor relentlessly hunt survivors of the destroyed realms on the only planet that still exists: Earth. Their dark tyranny enslaved this world, and anyone who challenges their rule dies a very public death. Reyfyre, the fae-wraith hybrid, has been hiding his entire life. When he found me, I was nothing but stretched-out skin over bones. Yet he offered me asylum, as long as I helped him kill Odin. How could I refuse? He nursed me back to health and rehabilitated my weakened muscle on the sparring field. Even with his demanding routine, I found peace in our hideaway in the northern territory. Then Odin discovered my empty cell and put a bounty on my head. And our mountain sanctuary, protected by Reyfyre's magic, was too close to it to be coincidence. Our only hope now is to make it to New York City. However, that's thousands of miles by foot through a tundra filled with hidden refugees, predators, and thieves. There's no other option. If we die, no one will be left to stop the callous gods before they destroy the only realm left. But are we really strong enough to take down a god? If you like dark twists on Norse Mythology, you will love Modern Goddess.

Yet, as Geoffrey Skelton points out, the opera has enjoyed a separate popularity and existence from the Ring Cycle. George Gillespie shows just how the string of mythical events was converted into a drama remarkable for its concentrated excitement and fine construction. Barry Millington introduces the web of motifs in the complex score. The English version, with Elizabeth Forbes's translation of the verses that Wagner did not eventually set to music but retained as footnotes to his published version, is by acclaimed translator Andrew Porter.Contents: A Conflict of Power and Love, Geoffrey Skelton; Chronology of the Composition of 'The Valkyrie'; An Introduction to the Music of 'The Valkyrie', Barry Millington; New Myths for Old, George Gillespie; Translating 'The Ring', Andrew Porter; Die Walkuere: Poem by Richard Wagner; The Valkyrie: English translation by Andrew Porter

Book excerpt: Four scorching-hot gods. One kickass valkyrie. Nine realms of trouble. All I wanted was to keep my distance from the criminals I work for and get my little brother out of the hell that is our mother's house. Then I died and woke up to four stunningly hot gods telling me I'm now a valkyrie. Sly, sharp Loki. Jovial but ferocious Thor. Dreamily compassionate Baldur. Grim and secretive Hod. I'm connected to all of them through a bond we barely understand. The longer I spend with them, the more my walls start to crack. But the gods didn't summon me just for kicks. Their king is missing, and they need me to find him. The first three valkyries they sent on the job never made it back. More power is awakening in me than I could ever have imagined, but the gods' enemies are more devious than even they knew. It's going to take every trick in the book for me to save myself, my brother, and these divine men who're getting under my skin in the most alluring way. Good thing I've always been a fighter.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Faust in Music written by Lorna Fitzsimmons and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its emergence in sixteenth-century Germany, the magician Faust's quest has become one of the most profound themes in Western history. Though variants are found across all media, few adaptations have met with greater acclaim than in music. Bringing together more than two dozen authors in a foundational volume, The Oxford Handbook of Faust in Music testifies to the spectacular impact the Faust theme has exerted over the centuries. The Handbook's three-part organization enables readers to follow the evolution of Faust in music across time and stylistic periods. Part I explores symphonic, choral, chamber, and solo Faust works by composers from Beethoven to Schnittke. Part II discusses the range of Faustian operas, and Part III examines Faust's presence in ballet and musical theater. Illustrating the interdisciplinary relationships between music and literature and the fascinating tapestry of intertextual relationships among the works of Faustian music themselves, the volume suggests that rather than merely retelling the story of Faust, these musical compositions contribute significant insights on the tale and its unrivalled cultural impact.
Download or read book Eugene Onegin written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovskyw and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tender, lyrical and passionate story of unrequited love holds a special place in Russian hearts. Tatyana's letter scene and the Polonaise are two much loved glories of the score; each act is tightly constructed around an antithesis of public and private scenes, and the dances are integral to the drama. The essence of both opera and poem is yearning, whether the artist's quest for his muse, or the lover for the beloved. Both poet and composer are true, in different ways, to this theme. The essays included in this guide explore the subtle and unexpected relationship between the words and music in Tchaikovsky's intimate 'Lyrical Scenes after Pushkin'.Contents: Pushkin into Tchaikovsky: Caustic Novel, Sentimental Opera, Caryl Emerson; Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin', Roland John Wiley; An Appreciation of 'Eugene Onegin', Natalia Challis; Eugene Onegin: Libretto by Konstantin Shilovsky and Pyotr Tchaikovsky; Eugene Onegin: English translation by David Lloyd-Jones
