Book excerpt: The snow gryphon Telános has just met his future charge (the person he will eventually be assigned to protect) who traveled back in time to secure a promise from him. While keeping watch on a magical Time Glass connected to the promise, the snow gryphon finds himself struggling with whether or not he will be able to keep his word. To take his mind off of this troubling situation, Telános is keeping busy helping other human beings in the here and now, many of whom are themselves struggling to cope with the latest form of malice cooked up by the sorcerers and their followers--a chemical creation known as a hypnoid that causes anyone under its influence to obey certain commands. Even family members and close friends could be affected and not even know it, a factor throwing many communities into suspicion and chaos. However, people still must go on living, and taking on projects, such as a very important one in involving gemstones, dragons, and Myramids (many magical pyramids). Amidst various scares and hardships, our heroes come to discover that, perhaps even more than the worst of human beings, the best of us also very much need the blessing of Second Chances.

Amidst a whirlwind of time-travel adventures, in which she helps to build both the glass and stone pyramids, Zinnia Summerhaven (a powerful magician) also searches for a way to help a mysterious friend. While the Time Key Travelers are busy battling such foes as false dragons and false prophets, Zin discovers that the answer to certain magical secrets actually lies in the powers of a magician and a sorcerer combined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each person on earth has a unicorn attached to his or her soul. While battling the likes of demons and megahobs (giant hobgoblins), a group of time travelers seeks to unravel the mystery of tapping into the powers of our personal unicorns, also known as Soul Shadows. And speaking of mysteries, despite being incredibly busy, our heroes still find time to solve a few, such as that of the elusive Loch Ness Monster. In addition to familiar helpers such as gargoyles and puck trolls, we find tiny fairy-like creatures known as spreesprites working on our behalf to thwart even the likes of flash dragons and sorcerers, who are still up to much of their same malice. So too are a gryphix, a twelf (a twelfth elf born to a family and given special powers), and a cloudbird all ready and willing to come to our aid. Along with the powers of magical creatures, many of the gifted find their own skills growing stronger as we draw nearer to the Endtimes. In their ongoing battle against evil, the godly also discover that old saying--about how unicorns are hiding in the unused part of the brain--to be pretty much true.

Download or read book The Extinction Club written by Robert Twigger and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For one thousand years, the Milu -- an exotic species of deer with the neck of a camel, horns of a stag, feet of a cow, and tail of a donkey -- existed only in the Chinese emperor’s private park in Beijing. But in the nineteenth century, a Basque missionary risked his life to obtain a specimen, then embalmed it and sent it to Paris. The preserved remains caused quite a stir, and soon every major nation in Europe possessed a Milu. But most died quickly, and due to war -- most notably the Boxer Rebellion -- they became extinct in their native habitat as well. Yet the eleventh duke of Bedford was devoted to preserving the Milu. Under his care at Woburn Abbey, a herd flourished, and nearly a century later, in 1986, part of the British herd was returned to China. In his fascinating tale, Robert Twigger poignantly recounts the story of this strange and rare animal while providing a riveting meditation on evolution, truth-telling, extinction, myth-making, and survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.
