Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book One in the Twilight of Avalon Trilogy She is a healer, a storyteller, a warrior, and a queen without a throne. In the shadow of King Arthur's Britain, one woman knows the truth that could save a kingdom from the hands of a tyrant... Ancient grudges, old wounds, and the quest for power rule in the newly widowed Queen Isolde's court. Hardly a generation after the downfall of Camelot, Isolde grieves for her slain husband, King Constantine, a man she secretly knows to have been murdered by the scheming Lord Marche -- the man who has just assumed his title as High King. Though her skills as a healer are renowned throughout the kingdom, in the wake of Con's death, accusations of witchcraft and sorcery threaten her freedom and her ability to bring Marche to justice. Burdened by their suspicion and her own grief, Isolde must conquer the court's distrust and superstition to protect her throne and the future of Britain. One of her few allies is Trystan, a prisoner with a lonely and troubled past. Neither Saxon nor Briton, he is unmoved by the political scheming, rumors, and accusations swirling around the fair queen. Together they escape, and as their companionship turns from friendship to love, they must find a way to prove what they know to be true -- that Marche's deceptions threaten not only their lives but the sovereignty of the British kingdom. In Twilight of Avalon, Anna Elliott returns to the roots of the legend of Trystan and Isolde to shape a very different story -- one based in the earliest written versions of the Arthurian tales -- a captivating epic brimming with historic authenticity, sweeping romance, and the powerful magic of legend.

Book excerpt: "Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." -- Los Angeles Review of Books “In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” —Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times bestseller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post--the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood--and the battle for a family fortune. In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana," Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money--and their homosexuality--made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune--and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life. Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.

Download or read book Glitter in the Sun written by Jane Wells and published by David Crumm Media LLC. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian author Jane Wells, a talented small-group leader, presents a Bible study based on the hugely successful Twilight novels and movies. Many Christian churches may never have considered discussing a series of novels about vampires and werewolves, but church leaders need not fear Twilight, Wells shows us. She argues that God speaks in many ways. In the Bible, God wrote on walls, sent angel-grams and even empowered a donkey to advise his human master. God still whispers to us, Wells writes, sometimes through our popular culture. Glitter in the Sun explores how we can glimpse truths of our faith through the Twilight saga. These tales remind us of the eternal power of Love. The Bible tells us that ultimately only God can love us in a truly timeless way. Glitter in the Sun invites individual readers and Bible-study groups to consider that there may be links between the love stories of Twilight and the One who can truly satisfy our longing hearts. This may be a surprising choice for church study, but Glitter in the Sun was created to encourage small-group participants who may never have considered attending a Bible study group until now.

Download or read book EUPHROSYNE written by Cecep Syamsul Hari and published by Penerbit Buku Sastra Digital. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EUPHROSYNE When I awoke very early, one day, I was amazed to find grass growing along my thighs. My body was shrivelled and pale, the rain had run through my hair all night; someone with a pale face, crowned in light, had poured a red liquid into my cup, it may have been wine, or possibly blood: “To our good health!” We toasted each other, I toasted her and felt very sad. But by God, by her own true self, she was so cute and funny. I thought of my mother, and asked her if she had ever seen the tree in heaven that was the source of good and evil. But my dear mother was far away and couldn’t hear a word I said. A fierce wind blew me somewhere I had never been before. Perhaps I was in heaven, perhaps I was in hell. There was no end to it. The hands on the clock ran backwards. I may have wept, I was so alone, night after night, my head pressed against a table, my soul was tortured. The petals of the baobab tree fell from my swollen eyes. In the distance, mosques praised the name of God. Angels flew behind the veil. Leaving their wings on the highways. I was chained in my room. The philosophers talked of the world, I called it a prison, or a poem, or the jealousy of autumn time. Someone, with the light wound in a circle around her head, vowed to love me forever, then ran away one evening. I was shattered. I became sick. My kidneys failed me. I waited, no, I couldn’t wait, I waited, no, it was impossible, I waited, no, she would never come back, she might come back. An extraordinarily beautiful face stuck into my dreams. It was like a harsh rain falling during a drought. On other days, I was tongue-tied, my mouth grew moss, and I was silent. Grains of wild wheat dropped from my nostrils and scattered in all directions. I was blind, and continued to wait. Resting in a rocking chair, day after day, then week after week, and finally month after month. “You fool!” a strange voice whispered into my ear. “Everything changes. Time no longer runs at your back. Sit here quietly and think of all the innocent things you did when you were young. Curse those who demonstrate in the streets, curse the political parties, curse anything at all.” Darling, darling, don’t call me a cynic, don’t call me Mephisto or Samiri[1]. Please, darling, don’t. It doesn’t matter who I am. I am neither Aaron nor Satan. I love the faces which have come and gone, leaving a series of brightly shining lights, like Orpheus’[2] lyre as he accompanied Euridice’s sad song. I am the food in your belly, the lament in your grief, the retina in your eyes. All I heard was the sighing of the wind. I told him: “Sail to the furthest land. Find her for me”. I shall endure my sorrow wrapped in the sweet bud of a smile. 1999-2001 [1] According to the Koran (20:86-88) the Samiri made the golden calf which led the people astray during their journey through the wilderness under Moses’ leadership. [2] According to Greek legend, Orpheus was a great poet and musician; he descended into Hades to rescue his wife Euridice, but lost her again when, at the last moment, he turned back to look at her.
