Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coren, an immortal, has never truly known what she is, though her personal madness began in the psychological chains of enslavement to an ancient and evil spirit that called itself Kanthul in ancient times gone by. But Coren refused that to be the end of her story. Through a miracle, she was able to free herself and other immortals from bondage and trap her slave master once and for all. But with her new freedom, she and other immortals established themselves as gods to a weaker humanity, who in turn began worshipping them. But the immortals only knew brutality and exhibited that upon mankind. Humanity rose against their false gods as a new era began for them. Yet throughout the millennia that proceeded, Coren had to learn many things about humanitys place and her own among them, including love, hate, and revenge. Who she once thought she could trust betrayed her. The immortal Cassie stole more than two hundred years of her life. As she emerged from depravation, the world she once knew changed forever. Corens journey to find Cassie has shown her that another vile spirit from the immortals past is being manipulated by Cassie for her own agenda. Coren seeks a nomad named Lawson, who unknowingly is the key to facing Corens past and confronting a very real threat to both humanity and immortals alike.

Download or read book The Legend of Edith Cavell written by Ranjit Jhuboo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May of 2019, it was a hundred years since the remains of Edith Cavell were brought back to England from Belgium to be given a proper burial—one deserving of a war heroine. Edith Cavell was unique in many ways. She was a Victorian girl raised in a strictly devout Christian family who lived their lives according to the Scriptures. They cared for the welfare of others and regularly gave alms to the poor. Nursing, therefore, became a natural career choice for her and her sisters. An excellent nurse, she was invited to Belgium to modernize the nursing system. But then World War I broke out and a brutal martial law was imposed on the land, which severely interfered with her project. But in Edith Cavell all it did was to bring out her innate humanitarian instincts. Righteous and fearless, she defied the ruthless German military and joined an underground movement, and used her hospital to nurse and hide Allied soldiers who were wounded or had become detached from their regiments, men who would have been shot if caught. Eventually, she was arrested, incarcerated, court-martialled, and then executed by a firing squad; but not before helping hundreds of men escape to neutral Holland. Katie Pickles, in her book, Transnational Outrage: The Death and Commemoration of Edith Cavell, describes her killing as ‘one of the most famous atrocities of the Great War.’

Book excerpt: Ages have passed into time immemorial since the Ancient Ones displaced the Old Magic of the Dragons with their New Magic. But the New Magic fostered enmity between factions, who warred until they were reduced to only myth and legend - now nearly forgotten. And the New Magic faded. But there was a time to come. . . a time for healing and renewal. And there were those Chosen to protect the relics from generation to generation until the time of prophecy should be fulfilled. Until the time of Coren. COREN is the story of Ben, the chosen of the descendants of the Aldimahr, as well as the culmination and rediscovery of the fate and stewardship of Finaerhlann of Hailitheone. Ben is destined to return the balance to Talamhsaol almost three thousand years after the land was shaken by the vast destruction caused in the last days of the Aldimahr and King Aeraethel. He must do so by not only finding and claiming the six talismans used in the High King's final betrayal, but also by harnessing the last of the New Magic which resides within them to seal the rift between the Dream World and this one. In the process his potential is fully realized as he struggles to discover the truth about the importance of healing the rift between Talamhsaol and the Dream World, and his role in the events that unfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5 in The House of Grey Series Fantasy, friendship, and fate await you in Collin Earl’s The House of Grey, based on the popular audio fiction by the same name. 14-year-old Monson Grey faces the same challenges that any freshman high school kid would: difficult classes, weird teachers, food fights…girls. Except, Monson Grey is not Monson Grey. At least, when he looks at himself in the mirror, the scarred face staring back is not someone he recognizes. Now he finds himself attending an extraordinary school, the recipient of an incredible scholarship, among ridiculously rich classmates, all with no memory of how he got there or what to expect. All he has from his former life are the flashes of haunting images that plague his dreams and the echoing voices that he hears, but cannot see. Luckily, Monson finds fast friendship in two of his classmates, Casey and Artorius. Little does Monson know, they too carry their own skeletons. Yet, as bizarre events start to unfold around them, Monson wonders what secrets lay buried in his mind or if he will ever be able to share his true fears with his newfound friends. Join our three heroes as they roam the halls of the most prestigious high school in the country, finding love, mystery, and answers to their algebra homework- all while peeling away the layers of Monson’s shadowy past. Author’s Note: The House of Grey was originally a serialized audio fiction. The Volume system begins the written adaptation of that story. Individual volumes do not contain the complete story. The Volumes contain 50,000 to 70,000 word chucks and are divided into ARCS. (ARC ONE, the Coren University Arc, consists of Volumes 1 through 6 and corresponds to the original podcast fiction) Each ARC will be available for a reduced price in an omnibus format. Original material for the continuation of the story starts in Volume 7
