Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years have passed since the fateful night the Immortal Triumvirate cast a curse that affected millions of people. The victims were turned into the Halloween costumes they were wearing at the time the hex struck. The poor souls were torn from their normal lives and were drawn to Nox to become the batteries that powered the magical City of Night. Factions have been scheming in the Vampire, Fae, Shifter and Demon Districts since the very beginning of the city’s creation. Many of the rebels have been eradicated by the Immortal Triumvirate’s assassins, but they couldn’t wipe them all out. Xiara Evora, the Guardian of Nox, has also killed some of their foes with the aid of her trusty staff, Wrath. The rebels have formed their own triumvirate. They plan to challenge their enemies during the upcoming party to celebrate the city’s fiftieth anniversary. Sebastian, Kade and Raum aren’t the only ones who have formed a union. Onvier, Azazel and Nilanthy have also become bound. A trio of trinities are all vying for rulership of the City of Night. Crowmon has evolved from a trickster god into something far darker and infinitely more dangerous. He’s determined to rule the city and to subjugate everyone to his will. War is coming to Nox. The fate of the entire population and the city itself will soon hang in the balance.

Download or read book The Armies of Islam 7th 11th Centuries written by David Nicolle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully-illustrated, in-depth exploration of early Islamic military forces, their weapons and armour, and the conflicts in which they fought. During the Middle Ages, Islam was Christian Europe's only civilised and most troublesome neighbour; the Middle Ages saw almost continual strife between these two distinct cultures. By the time the Frankish Crusaders reached the Middle East at the end of the 11th century, Islam had already incorporated three major races: Arabs, Persians and Turks, each of which contributed different strengths to the armoury of Islam. This title explores the organisation, uniforms and equipment of the armies of Islam from the 7th to 11th centuries, backed by illustrations, museum photographs and eight full page colour plates by popular Osprey artist Angus McBride.

Download or read book Her Shifter Harem s Babies Full Collection written by Layla Heart and published by Easily Distracted Media. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 1109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyra, a rare Omega phoenix shifter, has been hiding from the shifter world for years, but she’s about to be dragged back into it in a big way. Cyra feels that she’s pretty good at pretending that she’s human, she’s got a job at a cafe and is a princess for hire for birthday parties for kids. Money is always tight, but she likes her freedom and that’s worth a lot to her. Rare Omegas like her are never truly safe. Either because her parents keep trying to marry her off to some rich Alpha for the money and status it would bring them, or the constant danger of being found out, kidnapped and bred by some random shifter family hoping to gain status from that. Once she’s claimed by an Alpha, she’ll become the Alpha’s property, and she refuses to live like that. But those situations become real possibilities when Cyra finds herself at the start of the shifter mating season with an old car that constantly breaks down and her stash of medication that she uses to hide her Omega status running dangerously low, and no money to afford to do something about either problem. Her problems get even worse when two playboy Alphas, a hydra and a griffin, start showing up at the cafe. Their teasing and interest making her feel things and want things she’s sworn to never do with another shifter, for the risk of what could happen is too great for the short enjoyment it would bring. But the final straw is when she accidentally accepts to play a princess at a shifter kid’s birthday party and her car breaks down right as she’s about to leave. Luckily, or maybe she’s just that unlucky, two kind Alphas, a cerberus and a centaur, are able to give her a ride back home. Their kindness making her feel safe and comforted, even when it’s not safe for her at all. In a bout of recklessness and a desperate need for the money, she accepts the offer of the cerberus and centaur to be their date to the yearly Night Gala. An exclusive event at the start of the mating season where Alphas, Betas and Omegas can meet, but it’s not uncommon for humans to attend too, as ‘dates’ or staff. One night of looking pretty and eating fancy food and she’d be able to not only fix her car but afford the medication she needs, the offer is too tempting. What she hadn’t expected was for the hydra and the griffin to show up too. Or how all four Alphas would react to her Omega scent. Or how the media would hound them through the city as the five are trying to figure out what’s going on. Or, worst of all, how her parents would use this opportunity to get the fame they’ve always wanted by claiming that the four Alphas have kidnapped Cyra and that she’s already promised to another Alpha. Now the five not only have to figure out their feelings, but are also on the run from the media, the police and anyone interested in getting their hands on a rare Omega, no matter the cost… This collection contains all four books in the Her Shifter Harem’s Babies series, Omega Phoenix: Claimed, Omega Phoenix: Hunted, Omega Phoenix: Pursued and Omega Phoenix: Provoked. This is a paranormal Omegaverse reverse harem #WhyChoose romance. These books may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).

Download or read book Orientalism s Interlocutors written by Jill Beaulieu and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-06 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, Orientalist art—exemplified by paintings of harems, slave markets, or bazaars—has predominantly been understood to reflect Western interpretations and to perpetuate reductive, often demeaning stereotypes of the exotic East. Orientalism's Interlocutors contests the idea that Orientalist art simply expresses the politics of Western domination and argues instead that it was often produced through cross-cultural interactions. Focusing on paintings and other representations of North African and Ottoman cultures, by both local artists and westerners, the contributors contend that the stylistic similarities between indigenous and Western Orientalist art mask profound interpretive differences, which, on examination, can reveal a visual language of resistance to colonization. The essays also demonstrate how marginalized voices and viewpoints—especially women's—within Western Orientalism decentered and destabilized colonial authority. Looking at the political significance of cross-cultural encounters refracted through the visual languages of Orientalism, the contributors engage with pressing recent debates about indigenous agency, postcolonial identity, and gendered subjectivities. The very range of artists, styles, and forms discussed in this collection broadens contemporary understandings of Orientalist art. Among the artists considered are the Algerian painters Azouaou Mammeri and Mohammed Racim; Turkish painter Osman Hamdi; British landscape painter Barbara Bodichon; and the French painter Henri Regnault. From the liminal "Third Space" created by mosques in postcolonial Britain to the ways nineteenth-century harem women negotiated their portraits by British artists, the essays in this collection force a rethinking of the Orientalist canon. This innovative volume will appeal to those interested in art history, theories of gender, and postcolonial studies. Contributors.
