And it had all worked out, too. I was going to be allowed to train as a druid, and maybe take a few decades off from the absolute craziness of everyone’s plans to take over the world. …Until we found out that Philip’s plans didn’t all die with him. A group of humans has broken into one of the Monarchist hideouts and taken the sorcerers captive. Why, we don’t know. What we do know is their name: Onyx. And we know that those who have crossed paths with them are warning us to stay away.But I’ve never exactly been great at following orders or backing down. And I’m getting these sorcerers back.

Book excerpt: Mirah Bolender's fast-paced, adventure fantasy debut, City of Broken Magic, features a bomb squad that defuses magic weapons. Five hundred years ago, magi created a weapon they couldn’t control. An infestation that ate magic—and anything else it came into contact with. Enemies and allies were equally filling. Only an elite team of non-magical humans, known as sweepers, can defuse and dispose of infestations before they spread. Most die before they finish training. Laura, a new team member, has stayed alive longer than most. Now, she’s the last—and only—sweeper standing between the city and a massive infestation.

In the magic-dense city of Portland, Oregon, keeping a low profile means keeping their gifts quiet.

Download or read book The Broken Sword written by Poul Anderson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed fantasy classic of men, elves, and gods is at once breathtakingly exciting and heartbreakingly tragic. Published the same year as The Fellowship of the Ring, Poul Anderson’s novel The Broken Sword draws on similar Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon sources. In his greed for land and power, Orm the Strong slays the family of a Saxon witch—and for his sins, the Northman must pay with his newborn son. Stolen by elves and replaced by a changeling, Skafloc is raised to manhood unaware of his true heritage and treasured for his ability to handle the iron that the elven dare not touch. Meanwhile, the being who supplanted him as Orm’s son grows up angry and embittered by the humanity he has been denied. A pawn in a witch’s vengeance, the creature Valgard will never know love, and consumed by rage, he will commit a murderous act of unspeakable vileness. It is their destiny to finally meet on the field of battle—the man-elf and his dark twin, the monster—when the long-simmering war between elves and trolls finally erupts with a devastating fury. And only the mighty sword Tyrfing, broken by Thor and presented to Skafloc in infancy, can turn the tide in a terrible clashing of faerie folk that will ultimately determine the fate of the old gods. Along with such notables as Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Poul Anderson is considered one of the masters of speculative fiction. This edition contains the author’s original text.

Download or read book Origins written by John Manuel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origins: Mankind's Forgotten History and His Story Revealed is a title with two meanings. When you read the title And His Story Revealed, the reader will automatically think that the story of mankind's forgotten history will be told to them, and indeed it will. What the reader will also come to realize is the book title has a double meaning. The second meaning of His Story Revealed is the life story and meaning of the life of Christ. In the chapter "Who is Jesus?", Arthur John Manuel will explain who Jesus is and all the answers for the question why Jesus was. He will explain in detail all the reasons why, it will explain Mary and Joseph in detail and the lineage so the reader can understand exactly why Christ had to be born through the love/union of these two people. He will also explain the importance of the blood and the life sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our high priest and savior. As the reader continues on, he will read about the creation periods on earth and of men. This new method of explanation will agree with all the evidence in the world around us today, and it will fit in the pieces to the puzzle of our forgotten history, remnants of a once glorious past left behind as evidence of a forgotten history. Author John Manuel will explain Genesis and the creation period in a new light that completely agrees with the evidence left behind and those forgotten ancient cultures. The skeptic will definitely reconsider his skepticism after reading this new method of explanation. This is where the title's first reading comes into play, Mankind's Forgotten History. This chapter will tell the story of mankind's forgotten history. Have you ever wondered about evil spirits and the meaning of a spiritual world? Well, John Manual will explain where they come from and who evil and unclean spirits were and their goals. He'll explain of the rules they must live by, the power we have over them through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, a short summary on how to do battle against them, with the prayer of spiritual cleansing body, mind, and soul. And after, the reader will understand that spirits and mankind coexist in our physical world. Ever wondered about angels? The author explains these angelic race of beings who are the sons of God, where they were created by God. Note that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. This book will explain the difference in this chapter. The reader will learn of the forgotten path of earth, preflood, and the role angels played against Satan and his forces of evil in mankind's forgotten history. Have you ever wondered of an ancient world? This book will explain logically who God is, how he created us, why we were created. When you read about how the author explains why mankind is missing the last steps of our own evolution because of greed, you'll agree with the fact that mankind has not evolved, and the past 8,000 years of technological advances does not mean we have. An atheist will question his own belief. And last, author John Manuel will argue the fact that Jesus Christ is indeed the Messiah using father Abraham and his actions for sanctification examples. I'll stop there. If you want to know more you must first read this entire book. To the readers from the author: Hello my friend. I just first want to say thank you for purchasing the book. I want to encourage you to buy it for all who don't believe in God. We all have loved ones we care about, and we want them to enjoy eternity with our maker and our savior. This book is written from above. Believe me when I say this, when I write, I'm only writing what I've been shown and taught through visions and dreams. Although I may be the author, and my name is on this book, God gets all the credit. Remember always, God worked and then he rested when he created earth and everything in it. So we must first work to enter into his rest. This life that we have is our only chance to work for him. Once it is over, that's it. No work will be done, ever. I urge you work hard for God and win souls for Christ. He died for all souls. He deserves every one of them. Work for him in this life, invest in your eternal life so you can enjoy the splendor of your reward-an eternal life with the heavenly trinity on a new earth, forever and ever. God bless you all.
