Twelve men are expected in Incendium, each with special powers of his own, each with the gift to claim one dragon princess's heart forever...

Download or read book The Fighting Wessex Wyverns written by Patrick Delaforce and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2018-06-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commanded by the controversial Major-General Ivo Thomas, the 43rd (Wessex) Division was branded the Fighting Yellow Devils’ out of respect by its Wehrmacht and Waffen SS opponents. The 43rd’s distinctive divisional badge of a golden Wyvern — half-serpent half-dragon — was to be seen in all the ferocious battles in Normandy, the Low Countries and Germany between June 1944 and May 1945. They suffered 12,500 casualties including 3,000 killed in action. The 43rd had its roots firmly in the West of England, drawing its infantry battalions from the county regiments of Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Worcester, with occasional reinforcements during the Normandy campaign by ‘foreign’ regiments from Berkshire, Essex and other counties. This book tells the story of the division’s campaign in Northwest Europe, from Normandy to Bremerhaven, in the words of the soldiers who actually fought with it: privates, sergeants and young company commanders, all have their individual tales to tell. Here are first-hand accounts of the landings on the shores of Normandy; the battles for the River Odon, Hill 112, Maltot and Mont Pincon; the break-out to the River Seine and the forcing of the vital bridgehead at Vernon; the only infantry division to make a single-handed attempt to relieve Arnhem — a gallant and costly failure; the clearance of the Roer triangle (Operation Blackcock) and the Reichswald (Operation Veritable); the crossing of the River Rhine and the advance northwards to take the port of Bremen; and the final triumphant advance to the Cuxhaven peninsula northwest of Hamburg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LGBTQ+ ROMANCE BAILEY BRADFORD Book two in the Fire & Flutter series Take one magic-sensitive wyvern shifter, one horny royal-adjacent elf...and stand well back. Brick's a wyvern shifter, but not wily or skilled in diplomacy like wyvern shifters should be. Instead, he's big and brawny and slower than the rest of his family—the ruling family. Worse, he doesn't fare well around magic, so being in the elf kingdom for the royal wedding celebrations is one big nosebleed. Literally. Jagger's an elf. A royal-adjacent one, whose family have been chancellors and councilors to the king for centuries. It must have skipped a generation, however, as Jagger's more interested in drinking and seducing his way through the kingdom. Well, everyone wants to know if it's true what they say about elves, right? Spoiler—it is. When Brick discovers he's being handed over as part of the wyvern-elf alliance treaty, he fumes and decides to cut ties with his family to make his own way in the world. But first, he has to find his way out of the elf kingdom. Asking at the tavern for an elf to show him the way, he's taken to a room where a naked Jagger is lounging on a four-poster bed. And that's just the beginning of their dangerous, crazy and sexy adventure...
