Download or read book The Supposed Huntsman written by Katie Fowley and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. In her debut full-length collection of poems, THE SUPPOSED HUNTSMAN, Fowley creates spaces that blur the lines of gender, species, and self: "Every animal is deadly / even the shape-shifter." Fowley uses incantatory anaphora to enact endless transformations, becoming by turns a motley, plume-lit teacher-creature and a bear longing, like a bro, for a maiden in a tree. Drawing inspiration from Brothers Grimm fairy tales and troubadour tradition, Fowley's poems elate and interrogate, ever aware that "childhood is so intensely serious."
Download or read book The Huntsman written by Jenny Slaski and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweet 16 or the coveted 18th birthday are milestone moments in a young girl’s life, but the only age Lillian Clemens is dreading of turning is 21. That would mean she's officially old enough to accept the title of Huntsman, an elite fighter born and raised to battle against the supernatural creatures that roam this earth. The only barrier between the human race and the monstrous demons scattered abroad, feasting on the unsuspecting innocents, unable to protect themselves. The night of her first mission, plans go awry and her own Huntsman partner is killed. Shouldering the blame herself, Lillian doesn't refute the rumors that it was her fault Nikolas is dead. The first lesson Huntsmen are taught is to keep your head in the game and not hesitate. But she'd failed. She'd broken the cardinal rule. Two months later, Lillian's planned the perfect mission, to attack and eliminate the creature that took Nikolas away from her. He was the first person that hadn't judged her based on her gender. Since the creation of the Huntsmen organization, only men have been appointed to the prestigious position. But with her father, Oliver, being the Huntsmen Leader, she was born into a role that she couldn't escape. Lillian hasn’t spent a day where wishing she was a man didn't cross her mind. Life would be so much easier. But then it wouldn't be hers. With the mission a success, but not approved by her father, Lillian is punished and given the ultimatum to either train and succeed to become a Leviathan, or die trying. Leviathan's were more ruthless and cunning than Huntsmen, or at least that's what Lillian had always been led to believe. Leviathan's were the soldiers sent in when a mission was deemed too dangerous for a Huntsman. They were the cleanup crew, so to speak. In her quest to assume the title of Leviathan, Lillian must fight for her life against dangerous creatures, but she must also learn that not everyone in this world is as cruel and maniacal as her father and the Councilman who wishes her dead. Opening herself up to the right people, and laying her trust and her heart in their hands, might be the only thing that'll keep her alive.

It’s 1931 in Shanghai, and the stage is set for a new decade of intrigue. Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was brought back from the brink of death, but the strange experiment that saved her also stopped her from sleeping and aging—and allows her to heal from any wound. In short, Rosalind cannot die. Now, desperate for redemption for her traitorous past, she uses her abilities as an assassin for her country. Code name: Fortune. But when the Japanese Imperial Army begins its invasion march, Rosalind’s mission pivots. A series of murders is causing unrest in Shanghai, and the Japanese are under suspicion. Rosalind’s new orders are to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits behind the terror plot before more of her people are killed. To reduce suspicion, however, she must pose as the wife of another Nationalist spy, Orion Hong, and though Rosalind finds Orion’s cavalier attitude and playboy demeanor infuriating, she is willing to work with him for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and Rosalind has secrets that she wants to keep buried. As they both attempt to unravel the conspiracy, the two spies soon find that there are deeper and more horrifying layers to this mystery than they ever imagined.

Book excerpt: In a land of three warring kingdoms, a centaur huntsman and a warrior priestess might be the only hope for peace. If the two enemies don’t kill each other first, they might even find love. Seira of Blackstone has fought in many border skirmishes against the centaurs of the lowlands, but when she comes upon a massacre, it’s soon apparent the centaur and human dead weren’t fighting each other. They were fighting together against a third, unknown foe. Toryn, a centaur huntsman, is following the trail of a group of soul-mages when he encounters Seira, the most exquisite female he’s ever beheld. She’s majestic, battle-hardened, strong-willed, and her sharp tongue fires his blood more than any other female he’s ever met. While Seira’s natural instinct is to kill the horseman, she’s also swift to see they have a better chance of success if they work together. But there is more danger than just an unknown enemy. As they come to depend on each other, Seira secretly admits she has growing feelings for her centaur partner. That’s a problem. As a warrior-priestess of the Moon Goddess, Seira has sworn vows of obedience, loyalty, and chastity in exchange for her magic. As such, her body, heart, and soul can never be shared with another. Not even a noble centaur with equal parts desire and tender longing in his eyes. But centaurs are renowned for their stubborn natures, and Toryn plans to claim Seira’s heart even if he risks having the warrior-priestess bury one of her blades in his chest for his troubles. A fantasy romance. Author’s Note: The Huntress vs Huntsman world is a fantasy romance series. If romance of the fantasy variety isn’t your thing, avoid like the plague.
