Download or read book The Risen the Chosen and the Dark written by Jessica Lynn Campos and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was shadow. A dark mass that was both visible and invisible, opaque and transparent - a shadow with dimension - darkness with volume. An ominous sound of hushed mutters seemed to sigh out from within the darkness itself as the Hunter continued to expand it. The misty shadows stretched forth, as if to get a feel for the surroundings. This was where the Dark Ones got their name.. For over fifty years, a war has been raging. Threatened by the Dark Ones, Man has agreed to a system of partnerships, forming a new way of life with phoenixes, winged horses, and dragons. Children are taught at a young age to fight for what is right and to trust in the One. As war ravages the land, eight children will learn how to defend themselves, their friends, families, and homelands. The son of a king, the daughter of a queen, a descendant of an underground fighter, and a child of the forest will choose four others and unite, unwittingly setting a prophecy in motion as the Dark Ones initiate a new offensive. Will the eight be able to halt this advancement, or will more of the world fall into darkness? Jessica Lynn Campos is an engineering student at Oklahoma State University. Between classes, she enjoys reading, playing games and guitar, and, of course, writing. Her ideas stem from a strong Christian faith and from watching the world around her, especially her family. Her mother, father, sister, and three brothers were the inspiration for many of the characters. They were also her support when she looked to publish. She gives credit to God, who made everything fall into place at the right time. Without Him, nothing would be possible. Gal 6:17

Book excerpt: “Equal parts dazzling fantasy, swashbuckling adventure, and tender coming-of-age tale” from the author of the Costa Book of the Year, The Lie Tree (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The gods are dead. Fifty years ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. Nobody knows why. Now, even coin-sized scraps of dead god are worth a fortune because of the strange powers they’re said to possess. But few are brave enough to dive and search for them. When fifteen-year-old Hark finds the still-beating heart of one of these deities, he’ll risk everything to keep it out of the hands of smugglers, scientists, and cults who would kill for its power. Because Hark needs the heart if he wants to save the life of his best friend, Jelt. But the power of a god was not meant for human hands. With the heart, Jelt begins to eerily transform, and Hark will have to decide if he can stay loyal to his friend—or what he’s willing to sacrifice to save him. “Hardinge is assured and sophisticated in her exploration of the dark temptations of power.” —The Wall Street Journal “Monsters and mortals collide in this fantasy adventure that explores the hypnotic allure of fear, the adamant grip of the past, and the redeeming power of stories . . .

The undead Emperor has ruled his mighty interstellar empire of eighty human worlds for sixteen hundred years. Because he can grant a form of eternal life, creating an elite known as the Risen, his power has been absolute. He and his sister, the Child Empress, who is eternally a little girl, are worshiped as living gods. No one can touch them. Not until the Rix, machine-augmented humans who worship very different gods: AI compound minds of planetary extent. The Rix are cool, relentless fanatics, and their only goal is to propagate such AIs throughout the galaxy. They seek to end, by any means necessary, the Emperor's prolonged tyranny of one and supplant it with an eternal cybernetic dynasty of their own. They begin by taking the Child Empress hostage. Captain Laurent Zai of the Imperial Frigate Lynx is tasked with her rescue. Separated by light-years, bound by an unlikely love, Zai and pacifist senator Nara Oxham must each in their own way, face the challenge of the Rix, and they each will hold the fate of the empire in their hands. The Risen Empire is the first great space opera of the twenty-first century. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Della had the perfect life-the family, a boyfriend, and a bright future-until she was turned, and abandoned by everyone she loves. She takes refuge at Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with paranormal powers. It's where she and her best friends, Kylie and Miranda, heal their heartbreak with laughter, and where Della is training to be a paranormal investigator-and she refuses to be distracted.

Download or read book Chosen written by Michelle McClain-Walters and published by Charisma House. This book was released on 2019 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANY ARE CALLED, BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN. This book will equip you with prophetic insight and divine strategies that will jump-start you on the path toward destiny. There is a distinction between the called and the chosen, the many and the few. Who are these people? How did they get exclusive access to the favor of God? They are confident and prosperous, generous and joyful. They live in the realm of miracles and the supernatural, as if the very breath of God is on every decision they make in life. One season after the next they are catapulted to new levels in life. All they do is win and trample over challenges, disappointments, and attacks from the enemy, while others still remain at the starting line, awaiting breakthrough. In her book Michelle McClain-Walters shows readers just what this distinction is and how they can live in the fullness of their identity as God's chosen ones. Built on the words of Christ in John 15:16--"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you"--and Matthew 22:14--"Many are called but few are chosen"--Chosen is a revelation of the spiritual force behind the life of the next-level believer. Choose now and declare, "I am chosen!" and watch as the mysteries of heaven are opened to you.
