Book excerpt: The third volume of Storm's original Wraeththu trilogy, expanded and updated, with chapter heading illustrations. This final story in the trilogy is narrated by Cal, one of the most complex and mysterious of all the Wraeththu characters. Down on his luck, and haunted by his questionable past, Cal comes to realise he cannot escape his destiny, and that the har he once loved and believed dead is now ruler of all Wraeththu. But those who control Pellaz have rivals, and one of these, the strange Opalexian of the Roselane, a race that includes bizarrely 'female' Wraeththu, draws Cal to her domain. She seeks to upset the plans of Thiede, the true ruler behind the throne of Wraeththu. From the slums of the debased town of Fallsend, across all the fascinating territories of Jaddayoth, where many Wraeththu tribes have sprung up, to the natural stone towers of Shilalama, city of the Roselane, Cal learns much upon his journey - about himself and about his race. His choice is whether to trust Opalexian and her kind or not; she promises a reunion with Pellaz. But if a har has died and been returned to flesh once more, can he still be the person Cal once loved?

Book excerpt: Hailed as "a literary fantasist of outstanding power and originality" by Michael Moorcock and "a mythmaking Gothic queen" by Neil Gaiman, Storm Constantine is one of the most exciting and innovative fantasy writers of her generation. The author of many acclaimed works of science fiction and fantasy, she is best known for her daring, stylish and provocative "Wraeththu" trilogy (The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit , The Bewitchments of Love and Hate, The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire). The series, which chronicled the rise of a new race of seductive androgynous beings, with awesome powers, was hailed as a modern fantasy masterpiece, winning an avid international following of devoted readers. In her current series of work, Constantine has returned to the world of the Wraeththu, and the history of the first ruling dynasty in Immanion. Shades of Time and Memory continues the story of the emotional struggle between the triad of Pellaz, the Tigron of all the Wraeththu; Caeru, the Tigrina chosen for him by Thiede, and hostling of Pellaz's heir; and Calanthe, the Tigrina of Pellaz' heart -- Cal who incepted Pellaz, murdered Thiede, and whose wild seductive nature captivates all who know him. But while these three struggle for mortal political power, others are discovering that the psychic abilities of the Wraeththu and their sisters, the Kamagrian, are far greater, and far stranger, than any of them had ever supposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being away for many years, Storm Constantine returns to the saga of Wraeththu, picking up threads from the original trilogy and weaving them into a stunning new novel, The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure. The setting is, again, a future earth in which humanity has been supplanted as the dominant species by the hermaphrodite Wraeththu. Though they believe themselves to have inherited the earth, in truth Wraeththu have yet to learn the truth about their origins. They have expanded their number through mutating humans into hara like themselves, but now comes the time for them to probe the mysteries of creation. After a magical Festival night that surpassed all others, when the world of Wraeththu was shaken to its core, two hara, Ulaume and Flick, embark upon separate journeys in search of meaning and truth. Their paths cross, and they find they share a single destiny: to discover the truth about who holds power in the fabled city of Immanion and to defend the outcast harling Lileem, who is linked with the strange Kamagrian tribe. From dangerous skirmishes with other tribes to life in hiding on the river boat Esmeraldarine; from chance encounters in the town of Galhea, to the isolated Kamagrian city of Shilalama, Ulaume and Flick must fight to retain their freedom and protect Lileem, who might be the key to the destiny of all Wraeththu. Many characters from the previous novels reappear in Wraiths. Besides Flick and Ulaume, the story includes Calanthe and Orien, plus Seel and his consort Swift, along with Swift's enigmatic hostling, Cobweb. There is also the Tigron Pellaz and swirling above all of them, forever the puppeteer, the powerful Thiede, mother and father of Wraeththudom.

Download or read book The Hermaphrodite written by Julia Ward Howe and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the 1840s and published here for the first time, Julia Ward Howe's novel about a hermaphrodite is unlike anything of its time--or, in truth, of our own. Narrated by Laurence, who is raised and lives as a man, is loved by men and women alike, and can respond to neither, this unconventional story explores the understanding "that fervent hearts must borrow the disguise of art, if they would win the right to express, in any outward form, the internal fire that consumes them." Laurence describes his repudiation by his family, his involvement with an attractive widow, his subsequent wanderings and eventual attachment to a sixteen-year-old boy, his own tutelage by a Roman nobleman and his sisters, and his ultimate reunion with his early love. His is a story unique in nineteenth-century American letters, at once a remarkable reflection of a largely hidden inner life and a richly imagined tale of coming of age at odds with one's culture. Howe wrote "The Hermaphrodite" when her own marriage was challenged by her husband's affection for another man--and when prevailing notions regarding a woman's appropriate role in patriarchal structures threatened Howe's intellectual and emotional survival. The novel allowed Howe, and will now allow her readers, to occupy a speculative realm otherwise inaccessible in her historical moment.
