Download or read book The Elf Queen of Shannara written by Terry Brooks and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 1993-01-23 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time “Find the Elves and return them to the world of Men!” the shade of the Druid Allanon had ordered Wren. It was clearly an impossible task. The Elves had been gone from the Westland for more than a hundred years. There was not even a trace of their former city of Arborlon left to mark their passing. No one in the Esterland knew of them -- except, finally, the Addershag. The blind old woman had given instructions to find a place on the coast of the Blue Divide, build a fire, and keep it burning for three days. “One will come for you." Tiger Ty, the Wing Rider, had come on his giant Roc to carry Wren and her friend Garth to the only clear landing site on the island of Morrowindl, where, he said, the Elves might still exist, somewhere in the demon-haunted jungle. Now she stood within that jungle, remembering the warning of the Addershag: “Beward, Elf-girl. I see danger ahead for you . . . and evil beyond imagining." It had proved all too true. Wren stood with her single weapon of magic, listening as demons evil beyond all imagining gathered for attack. How long could she resist? And if, by some miracle, she reached the Elves and could convince them to return, how could they possibly retrace her perilous path to reach the one safe place on the coast?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witness how God ignited the hearts of an ordinary couple and sent them on an incredible journey. Led by His light and love, the hearts of over fifty-four thousand ill, needy, orphaned, and troubled children were touched by the Masters hand. Have you experienced a miracle? Has your incredible journey begun? Are you attached to the vine? Have you created your ripple of hope? Abraham Kuyper, theologian and prime minister of the Netherlands in the 1800s, expressed, "There is not one square inch of the entire creation about which Jesus Christ does not cry out, This is mine! This belongs to me! God continually recreates the universe through acts of grace. One husband-and-wife team has tossed many garlands of grace into the hallowed hospital halls of sick and needy children. Their story compels us to discover our own journey into the impossible as we listen for His whispers. Now! Go, and I will show you the way. Karen Gibson, MSCC, pastor, Congregational Care UMC, Webster, New York The same God who multiplied the loaves and the fishes called an ordinary couple to reach out to ill and needy children with two toy trucks and the love in their hearts. Through them, God built a ministry that has served fifty-four thousand youngsters in a span of twenty-three years. This is the immeasurable greatness of our God! Diane Maier, lay leader, Union Hill UMC Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Matthew 25:40)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Yet again, the brother gods destroy the land with their selfish war...” ---- The angels were meant to protect Dezrel. They were meant to guide humanity out from the wreckage of the second Gods' War. But their high priest Azariah has betrayed them all. The ruling angels have fallen, their forms twisted, their color faded, and their wings stained black with the god Ashhur's disgust. In their rage, they are no longer content to guide. With Azariah at their head, they will rule. They will form their perfect world, no matter how many human lives must be sacrificed. In the north, the greatest remaining angel Ahaesarus gathers the beastmen tribes to wield them as an army against the Fallen. To the south, the surviving members of the Eschaton Mercenaries flee the ever-expanding reach of the Fallen. The boy king of Mordeina travels with them under the protection of the Godslayer, Harruq Tun. He is the last hope to unite the fracturing human kingdom to stand against complete domination, and the Fallen will capture him at any cost. But Azariah has in his possession the journal of Karak's Prophet, and access to its forbidden spells within. Those beloved to the Godslayer will suffer...even those beyond the grave. THE KING OF THE FALLEN by David Dalglish Even gods may betray their beloved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of years ago the elves were enslaved by the Wytch Lords. Murdered in their thousands, worked to death in slave gangs and divided against themselves, the wounds inflicted by man run deep - and elves have very long memories. Two of them - Auum and Takaar - led the rise against their enslavers, and united their people against men in order to free their nation. Now Calaius is at peace ... but that doesn't mean their nation is safe. Men need their help. The Wytch Lords have rallied, men's magic has grown more powerful, and their politics have become altogether more dangerous. Especially now: one of the mages has created a spell, called Dawnthief, which has the potential to destroy all living things on the planet. All four magical colleges are fighting to seize it and, in the background, the Wytch Lords have schemes of their own. Schemes which involve crushing the elven nation for good. Whoever seizes the spell, it places the elves in tremendous danger. But can Auum and Takaar overcome their differences and work together to save Calaius? And even if they can, is it not already too late ... ? Find out more on his website, www.jamesbarclay.com, or you can follow @barculator on Twitter.
Download or read book Elfhaven Part 1 2 written by Michelle Maple and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elfhaven is exactly what it implies--a haven for elves, governed by a high council of five. It is forgotten by time and hidden from the intrusive present-day human population. There was a time when elves thought of themselves as fearless protectors of the earth and defenders of the innocent, but that time is long past. Elfhaven's council has no choice but to confess their fear, not only for their existence but for the world outside their realm, or so they claim. From the instant of their existence, elves have protected the world from evil, but now there is a new malevolent threat that is beyond their capability. The ruler of the netherworld called Helgrey has never hidden her intent to dominate the earth, thus transforming it into the twisted version of her own world. But the prize she covets most is the destruction of Elfhaven. In the past, she has hidden behind tact and subtle innuendos, but now her threat has become a fear-provoking reality as Widdow enacts her wrathful vengeance by unleashing a horrendously wicked scheme that takes the form of an unholy ally that the council is unable to combat. The council is in dire need of a champion for their cause and finds one in the form of a woman. She is young, inexperienced, and of all things, a human. That is, until a freak accident results in her bizarre transformation.
Download or read book The Hidden History of Elves and Dwarfs written by Claude Lecouteux and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive examination of the intertwined mythology, folklore, and literary history of the little people • Explores the pagan roots of dwarfs and elves and their evolution in myth and literature • Reveals the role the church played in changing them from fearless, shape-shifting warriors with magical powers into cheerful helpmates and cute garden gnomes • Traces their history from ancient Celtic and Germanic lore through their emergence in the literature of the Middle Ages to their modern popularization by the Brothers Grimm and Walt Disney Most people are familiar with the popular image of elves as Santa’s helpers and dwarfs as little bearded men wearing red caps, who are mischievous and playful, helpful and sly, industrious and dexterous. But their roots go far deeper than their appearance in fairy tales and popular stories. Elves and dwarfs are survivors of a much older belief system that predates Christianity and was widespread throughout Western Europe. Sharing his extensive analysis of Germanic and Norse legends, as well as Roman, Celtic, and medieval literature, Claude Lecouteux explores the ancient, intertwined history of dwarfs and elves. He reveals how both were once peoples who lived in wild regions as keepers of the secrets of nature. They were able to change their size at will and had superhuman strength and healing powers. They were excellent smiths, crafting swords that nothing could dull as well as magical jewelry, and often entered into the service of lords or heroes. They were a part of the everyday life of our ancestors before they were transformed by fairy tales and church texts into the mythical creatures we know today. Lecouteux shows how, in earlier folklore, elves and dwarfs were interchangeable, gradually evolving over time to express very different kinds of beings. “Dwarf,” “giant,” and even “elf” did not necessarily connote size but referred to races with different skills. Elves were more ethereal, offering protection and kindness, while dwarfs reflected a more corporeal form of spirit, often appearing as messengers from the underworld. Yet dwarfs and elves could be bargained with, and our ancestors would leave a broken object outside the door at night with the hope that a dwarf or elf (or other local spirit) would repair it. Revealing the true roots of these helpful and powerful beings, including an in-depth exploration of one of the most famous dwarf/elf/fairy beings of the Middle Ages, Auberon or Oberon, also known as Alberich, Lecouteux shows how the magic of dwarfs and elves can be rekindled if we recognize their signs and invite them back into our world.

Book excerpt: "It was the completest thing, the neatest, most squared-away piece of killing ever seen. Oh, it was glorious freedom-that is surely true, and I must call a thing what it is-yet it was powerful gruesome. But before I say anything of the killing, and long before I take up the knottier parts of this tale, I'll give it some shoring up, help it bear its own weight." So begins Raising Ebenezer, a witty, raucous, Twain-meets-Tolkien adventure. Our narrator, E.P. Cornshuck, finds himself suddenly, providentially freed from a life of slavery and learns that his true identity--heir of a kingdom in rebellion--has been hidden for just such a time as this.

Book excerpt: The War Against Evil Has Been Won! In this world the millennial battle against the forces of evil has just been won, and all the hard-working heroes are just about to start living very happily Forever After. But first, you see, there’s this one little problem. To win the aforementioned War Against Evil, four mantic objects of great power had been summoned forth from dark recesses in which they had lain secreted for a thousand year—since, in fact, the last Great War Against Evil. But there was a reason these objects had been buried so long ago: if they are left in the open for any length of time the forces that emanate start to combine—and Bad Things start to happen. Dinosaurs come to battle dragons, and 747s eclipse the Moon—and that’s just for starters. So it is that our heroes must leave hearth and home to go upon their four separate anti-quests to bury for another thousand years the powers that saved the world. And you can join them—Forever After…. With Robert Asprin, David Drake, Jane Lindskold & Mike Stackpole. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
