Download or read book Shadow s Realm written by Mickey Zucker Reichert and published by Gateway. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Shadow received a message that Shylar needed his aid, the master thief and his three companions, Allerum - now an elf swordsman but once a twentieth century American soldier - and the two Dragonmages, Silme and Astryd, immediately set out for Shadow's hometown of Cullinsberg. For Shylar, town madam and high in the thieves' underground, was all the family Shadow had. But Cullinsberg was an armed trap waiting to close on the four adventurers. For they had slain the Chaos Dragon, and in so doing unleashed a force of pure Chaos, a force which then bonded with the single greatest surviving Dragonmage. Driven by Chaos-induced madness, this master of powers far beyond those of Silme and Astryd would now use anyone and any means to take his deadly revenge on those four warriors of Law.

Download or read book Shadow s Secret Missions on Cobblestone Street written by Robin Wickens and published by Rob's Books. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moon, a luminous pearl in the velvet sky, cast a silver glow on the cobblestone street below. Shadows stretched and twisted, dancing to a silent tune as the wind whistled through the alleyways. Whispers, carried on the night breeze, seemed to tell tales of secrets and hidden wonders, weaving a tapestry of mystery that enveloped the entire village of Hawthorne. From the inky depths of a doorway, a pair of emerald eyes emerged, gleaming like precious jewels. They belonged to a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, a being of grace and stealth, whose very presence held an air of enchantment. A cat, sleek and silent, stepped into the moonlight, its paws padding softly across the cobblestones. Its fur, as black as the midnight sky, shimmered with an otherworldly sheen. Each movement was fluid and deliberate, as if choreographed by the moon itself. The cat paused, tilting its head, its ears twitching as it listened to the symphony of the night. The faint rustle of leaves, the distant hoot of an owl, and the murmured conversations of villagers settling into their homes for the night all formed a harmonious backdrop to the cat’s silent vigil. This was Shadow, a cat known throughout Cobblestone Street not just for his sleek appearance, but for the air of mystery that always seemed to accompany him. To the villagers, Shadow was a guardian of sorts, a silent sentinel who watched over the night and ensured that peace reigned while they slept. Children whispered tales of his bravery and adults respected his presence, believing that wherever Shadow walked, he brought with him an invisible cloak of protection.

Download or read book I Came As a Shadow written by John Thompson and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK The long-awaited autobiography from Georgetown University’s legendary coach, whose life on and off the basketball court threw America’s unresolved struggle with racial justice into sharp relief. John Thompson was never just a basketball coach and I Came As A Shadow is categorically not just a basketball autobiography. After five decades at the center of race and sports in America, Thompson—the iconic NCAA champion, Black activist, and educator—was ready to make the private public at last, and he completed this autobiography shortly before his death in the historically tumultuous summer of 2020. Chockful of stories and moving beyond mere stats (three Final Fours, four-time national coach of the year, seven Big East championships, 97 percent graduation rate), Thompson’s book drives us through his childhood under Jim Crow segregation to our current moment of racial reckoning. We experience riding shotgun with Celtics icon Red Auerbach and coaching NBA Hall of Famers like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. What were the origins of the the phrase “Hoya Paranoia”? You’ll see. And parting his veil of secrecy, Thompson brings us into his negotiation with a D.C. drug kingpin in his players’ orbit in the 1980s, as well as behind the scenes of his years on the Nike board. Thompson’s mother was a teacher who had to clean houses because of racism in the nation's capital. His father could not read or write. Their son grew up to be a man with his own larger-than-life statue in a building that bears his family’s name on a campus once kept afloat by the selling of 272 enslaved Black people. This is a great American story, and John Thompson’s experience sheds light on many of the issues roiling our nation. In these pages, he proves himself to be the elder statesman whose final words college basketball and the country need to hear. I Came As A Shadow is not a swan song, but a bullhorn blast from one of America’s most prominent sons.
