Book excerpt: In the enchanting world of Regency-era England, where the opulence of high society entwines with the constraints of societal roles, lies a tale of hidden desires and forbidden romance. Welcome to 'Under the Moonlit Masquerade,' a captivating story that unfolds against the backdrop of an elegant masked ball, where secrets are cloaked beneath elaborate disguises and true identities remain shrouded in mystery. Our protagonist, Lady Elora, is a reluctant debutante weighed down by the expectations of her aristocratic lineage. Longing for a taste of freedom beyond her gilded cage, Elora finds herself drawn to a tantalizing proposition: a masked ball, an event that promises to whisk her away from the suffocating confines of her societal role. As she steps into the realm of anonymity, Elora transforms into an alluring stranger, liberated from the stifling expectations of her family and the watchful eyes of high society. Under the magical moonlit sky, she encounters a mysterious masked stranger equally determined to keep his true identity veiled from the world. Amidst the swirling dance of masks and emotions, a forbidden romance blooms, blurring the lines between duty and desire. As Elora and her masked companion share stolen moments under the moon's tender gaze, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other, their connection deepening with each passing heartbeat. But society's watchful eye is unyielding, and the risks they take threaten to expose their clandestine love, subjecting them to judgment, scandal, and shattered expectations. Faced with the disapproval of family, the whispering censure of gossiping elites, and the persistent pursuit of a jealous suitor, Elora and her masked love must navigate treacherous waters to keep their forbidden romance alive. As the clock strikes midnight, the masquerade draws to a close, and Elora must make a choice: abandon her heart's desires and return to the confines of society's expectations, or take a daring leap and embrace love, no matter the consequences. Join us on this mesmerizing journey as we delve into the delicate dance between duty and desire, the beauty of love's unyielding spirit, and the transformative power of the moonlit masquerade. Will Elora and her masked stranger find the strength to defy norms and seize their chance at happiness, or will they be forever bound by the constraints of society's dictates? Find out as the pages turn, revealing a tale that captures your heart and leaves you yearning for love under the moonlit masquerade.

Download or read book Alta Trials written by R.L. Robinson and published by Ricky Robinson. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From her seat above the world, the goddess watched a rotting sea of boiling flesh spill from the dark corners of her lands, gathering and melding into a horrid beast with a single purpose, to drown her lands in suffering. The goddess leaned forward in her seat, looking down on her world, moving her vision back and forth along the endless, ever forking stream of time, searching intensely for a break in her protections. A place this creature could have exploited to get past her veil and onto Alta, hoping she would be able to seal it, preventing what was coming. She found nothing. This darkness would make it past her defenses. She had to accept that and focus on what to do next. What could she do to save her world? The answer came quickly, closely followed by a commingling of anger and disappointment. What she had to do was clear; she would need to act from within the veil. It was the only way to save Alta. It was also impossible. By her own law, the goddess couldn’t intervene directly in matters that were within the veil. Leaving her no choice. She needed a surrogate. A creature that would wield a fraction of her divinity and be reborn in her world to stand against this darkness. It was her only choice. It also made her sick to think of. In a flash, she conceived of a better idea. One that wouldn’t put her power into unworthy hands. Her vision switched to a world barren of magic and gods to find what she needed. Her sight settled on a nameless mortal. A mortal whose hands were drenched in blood and whose mind was broken beyond repair. His life was meaningless, and his soul would be damned in any just world, making him perfect. The goddess sat back in her throne and put her plans into motion. The trial of Alta had begun.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on International Education written by Yvonne Hébert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In rapidly globalizing spaces of life, any research project on international education would necessarily have multi-directional emphases, with the quality of observations and analyses reflecting the expanding political, economic and cultural intersections which characterize this potentially promising century. To respond to these emerging learning and living contexts of our world, this book brings together some of the most active and established scholars in the field. As such, the book represents important epistemic interventions that analyze and critique the institutional, socio-economic, linguistic and pedagogical platforms of international education. As the locus of international education cannot be detached from the pragmatics of social development, the specific recommendations embedded in this book expand the debates and broaden the boundaries of learning projects that should enhance the lives of people, especially those who are continually marginalized by the regimes of globalization. Thus, the book actively advocates for possibilities of human well-beings via different formats of education in diverse locations of life. “Critical Perspectives on International Education offers a historically comprehensive, intellectually honest, and perspective-rich scholarly exploration of a new education-globalization dynamic. This book courageously offers up diverse voices, gathered into a robust and useful conversation regarding global education. This book adds greatly to understanding why educational marketplaces must be driven by principles and practices that empower diverse peoples, to secure sustainable knowledge benefits that contribute to personal, local, national and international well-being. This critical perspective reader will engage scholars, researchers and citizens.” Jim Paul, University of Calgary “In the current intensifications of globalization and its resulting inequalities, it is crucial to better understand the role of knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination. Should knowledge be only a commodity to be sold in the market and a tool to increase economic capital, or should it be a shared sociocultural capital aimed at improving democracy and the common good? In Critical Perspectives on International Education, Yvonne Hébert and Ali A. Abdi assemble an impressive array of contributions from all over the world that address this question from a variety of critical perspectives and case studies. I recommend this book to everyone interested in the connections between education, citizenship development and human well-being.” Daniel Schugurensky, Arizona State University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in an omnibus, this duology chronicles the adventures of naturalist Tristram Flattery as he voyages to discover the lost history of magic in a world where reason and science reign. The Age of Mages is over, and all the secrets of their magical arts are thought to be lost to the world. There are even those who suspect that the last of the great Mages spent their final years scrupulously eradicating all traces of their craft from the pages of history--insuring that their art will never be practiced again. It is the dawn of a new era: an age of reason, science, and exploration, and Tristam Flattery is one of its most promising young naturalists. But when Tristam is summoned to the royal court of Farrland to try to revitalize a failing species of plant which seems to have mysterious, almost magical, medicinal properties--a plant without which, he is told, the aging king will surely die--he soon realizes that he has been drawn into the heart of a political struggle which spans generations, a conflict which threatens the very foundations of his civilization. And before long, Tristam is caught in the grip of a destiny which will lead him to the ends of the known world--on a voyage of discovery that has more to do with magic than with science....
