Download or read book The Winged Champion written by Leah Ross and published by Leah Ross. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoying life as a retired pirate, William has no interest in chasing adventure. He’s lived two lives already and earned some rest. But he can’t ignore the call of family needing help, so he drags his partners along into the growing chaos of Arcini. Only he has the ability to prevent the monarchy’s downfall. But the cost of finding the truth might be too much, even for an immortal champion. Jonathan’s career as the ‘Angel of Death’, the ‘Winged Avenger’, is over. No one has any use for a pirate commander with no crew to command, so he settles for the predictability of the mundane instead. There’s little excitement, but there are also far fewer knife wounds. At least the trip to the Arcinian palace will be a diversion from the boredom of retirement. When he’s offered the command of a ragtag brigade of new militia recruits, though, he realizes that his skills as a warrior aren’t as obsolete as he’d thought. He only hopes that his feisty crew of Enuldesh soldiers can learn to follow the orders of an Annali pirate. With a gourmet kitchen, a bountiful garden, and unlimited freedom, Jai has everything he wants in the life he shares with his partners. He can cook to his heart’s content and no longer has to worry about battles and the fickle whims of the sea. He even takes the visit to the palace in stride, confident in his familiarity of the place where he’d spent much of his life. Thrown back into palace routines and prejudices, however, it’s apparent that he hasn’t quite escaped his past life. The more things change, the more they stay the same, and ghosts that he thought he’d laid to rest keep popping up to haunt him. Three powerful immortals with all of eternity on their hands now find themselves racing against time and staring down death to preserve what they love and care about. If they can’t stand against the unstoppable forces of fate, then everything they know will be gone. Their legacy will be one of failure and destruction. And they alone will remain to face the consequences. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You will have no firstborn to rule after you She will never conceive your firstborn – or at least not first.” The last words of the Evil Wizard, Lord Prydeen, have hung over King Damien and Queen Genevieve for five years. Five years, wherein Damien has sought to rebuild the Realm, inspiring and requiring a return to honor and noblesse oblige among his corrupt and canny noble class. Five years, whence Genevieve has restored three of the Five Lost Provinces to Ilseador's banner, negotiating by dint of the army at her back – and her own formidable reputation as a warrior. Five years... and ten heartbreaking miscarriages. And then Prydeen had added those other words that either allow for a kernel of hope... or are the grindstone with which to destroy King Damien's hopeful new reign. “You have a Champion of a problem, young king.”
Download or read book Alberta s Champion written by The Calgary Herald and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a football star, a Harvard graduate, a visionary, a statesman and Canada's blue-eyed sheik. He was Peter Lougheed. And for many, he was the greatest premier in Alberta's history. Although only in office for 14 years, Lougheed’s legacy surrounds us, from a provincial park and a hospital that bear his name, to social programs and energy policies that guide the province today. Lougheed’s vision paved the way for developing the oilsands, the Heritage Savings Trust Fund and Alberta Bill of Rights and led to government support for education and arts and culture. He was also a giant on the national stage, fending off Pierre Trudeau’s hated National Energy Program and becoming a key player in the constitutional debate. Although he was passionate about Alberta and its right to control its resources, and its future, Lougheed always maintained he was a Canadian first. That bears out in the many tributes since his death from former colleagues and adversaries such as former prime minister Jean Chretien, former Ontario premier Bill Davis and Marc Lalonde, the Liberal cabinet minister who introduced the NEP. Lalonde said Lougheed played “hardball” for Alberta at the negotiation table, “but nobody could question his strong views about Canada, and his strong support for Canadian unity.” The Calgary Herald has covered every part of Lougheed’s life, from his storied family background to his stunning election win over the Socreds in 1971, through to his retirement in 1985 and his death on Sept. 13, 2012. Alberta’s Champion pulls together articles, photographs and front pages from some of the most important phases of his life and includes columns written by Lougheed himself. “We got Albertans to think as Canadians. We didn’t think of ourselves as just provincial, we thought of ourselves nationally and we contributed nationally not just in public life and in government but we contributed in a multitude of other ways--the arts and culture and sports, in writing and business and science. All of those were contributions by Albertans into Canada.”

Late summer, 1921: Disgraced former lightweight champion Pepper Van Dean has spent the past two years on the carnival circuit performing the dangerous “hangman’s drop” and taking on all comers in nightly challenge bouts. But when he and his cardsharp wife, Moira, are marooned in the wilds of Oregon, Pepper accepts an offer to return to the world of wrestling as a trainer for Garfield Taft, a down-and-out African American heavyweight contender in search of a comeback and a shot at the world title. At the training camp in rural Montana, Pepper and Moira soon realize that nothing is what it seems: not Taft, the upcoming match, or the training facility itself.

A story of second chances and a sport at the cusp of major change, Champion of the World is a wonderful historical debut from a new talent in fiction.

Download or read book Esther Ross Stillaguamish Champion written by Robert H. Ruby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oh God, here comes Esther Ross." Such was the greeting she received from members of the U.S. Congress during her repeated trips to the Capitol on behalf of Stillaguamish Indians. Tenacious and passionate, Esther Ross's refusal to abandon her cause resulted in federal recognition of the Stillaguamish Tribe in 1976. Her efforts on behalf of Pacific Northwest Indians at federal, state, and local levels led not only to the rebirth of the Stillaguamish but also to policy reforms affecting all Indian tribes. In this rare, in-depth portrait of a contemporary American Indian woman, Robert H. Ruby and John A. Brown document Ross's life and achievements. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Stillaguamish tribe, located on the Puget Sound in Washington State, had all but disappeared. With no organization or system of communication, tribal members dispersed. Desperate for help, surviving members asked Ross, a young, well-educated descendant of Stillaguamish and Norwegian heritage, to assist them in suing for lost land and government services. For fifty years, she waged a persistent campaign, largely self-staffed and self-funded. Despite personal problems, cultural barriers, and reluctance among some tribal members, Ross succeeded, but she was eventually forced from tribal leadership.
Download or read book Tales from the Sacramento Kings Locker Room written by Jerry Reynolds and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerry Reynolds was country before country was cool. He also was part of the Sacramento Kings before that was cool. 2015 marks the team’s 30th season in California’s capital, and Jerry has been there from the start. Quietly, he has been instrumental in the team’s growth from a shoestring operation that couldn’t compete to a model NBA franchise that is always on the short list of title contenders. He has been a firsthand witness of the league’s evolution, from Bird and Magic, to Jordan, to LeBron and Yao Ming. Jerry Reynolds has been a human Swiss Army knife, serving the Kings as a scout, assistant coach, head coach, player personnel director, general manager, and television analyst. Because he has held so many positions in the Kings’ front office the last two decades, Jerry has a unique perspective on how the Kings have evolved, and he offers that perspective in Tales from the Sacramento Kings Locker Room. For those who’ve been on the Kings bandwagon only the last decade, it wasn’t always C-Webb, Peja, and Bibby. In this reissue of Reynolds Remembers, Jerry recounts the hollow feeling of putting a CBA-quality lineup on the floor for an exhibition game against the Lakers: set for the tip-off, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and . . . Randy Allen? He remembers being left to explain the Kings’ latest defeat to the media while Bill Russell snuck out the side door. But there were victories, too. He also still has a spark in his eye from trading draft rights to Billy Owens for superstar Mitch Richmond. Whether the Kings were stuck in the mud or winning 50-plus games, Jerry Reynolds remained the same—colorful, outspoken, engaging, and insightful.
