Book excerpt: A determined demon. A reckoning from voodoo spirits. Mankind’s demise… Only a female who’s part vampire and part witch can set things right. Edwina Devereaux, a product of a heinous system of degradation, is content to be a wife and a mother. She made peace with her witchery and vampirism centuries ago. But thanks to a witch hellbent on revenge and the demon she invited between her sheets, Edwina’s stable existence will be shaken to the core. When the Red Witch and Melisande Mercier need an intermediary to the loa, they beat a path to Edwina’s door. She agrees to help them find another one to speak to the ancient spirits. But helping them means facing her past. And possibly losing her husband. Edwina goes on a historical journey to appease the loa and stop the demon who wants to bring about an early apocalypse. Sacrifices will have to be made. Truths will be shared. In the end, it will take a team effort—a Celtic witch, a Gothic witch, and a hybrid witch—to keep humanity safe and send the Son of the Horseman War back to Hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to keep a secret in early medieval England? It was a period during which the experience of secrecy was intensely bound to the belief that God knew all human secrets, yet the secrets of God remained unknowable to human beings. In Bonds of Secrecy, Benjamin A. Saltzman argues that this double-edged conception of secrecy and divinity profoundly affected the way believers acted and thought as subjects under the law, as the devout within monasteries, and as readers before books. One crucial way it did so was by forming an ethical relationship between the self and the world that was fundamentally different from its modern reflex. Whereas today the bearers of secrets might be judged for the consequences of their reticence or disclosure, Saltzman observes, in the early Middle Ages a person attempting to conceal a secret was judged for believing he or she could conceal it from God. In other words, to attempt to hide from God was to become ensnared in a serious sin, but to hide from the world while deliberately and humbly submitting to God's constant observation was often a hallmark of spiritual virtue. Looking to law codes and religious architecture, hagiographies and riddles, Bonds of Secrecy shows how legal and monastic institutions harnessed the pervasive and complex belief in God's omniscience to produce an intense culture of scrutiny and a radical ethics of secrecy founded on the individual's belief that nothing could be hidden from God. According to Saltzman, this ethics of secrecy not only informed early medieval notions of mental activity and ideas about the mind but also profoundly shaped the practices of literary interpretation in ways that can inform our own contemporary approaches to reading texts from the past.

I'm so glad I picked it up...now can it be June already so I can read more?" ~Amazon reviewer *** In The Witcher meets The Selection… *** She ran from him... but couldn't escape her heart. Lord Gabriel Phel wants one thing: to rebuild the shattered fortunes of his people and restore his ruined house to its former station in the Convocation’s highest tiers of elegant society. Fortunately, through a wild chance of birth, he was born with powerful wizard magic, the first in his family in generations. If he can obtain a familiar to amplify his magic, a highborn daughter he can marry, to be mother to his children, he’ll be that much closer to saving his family. With her by his side, he can ascend to such a position of power in the Convocation that he can destroy it forever. Lady Veronica Elal, captive in her tower, has only one way out. To her bitter disappointment, she will never be a wizard. Instead, through a twist of fate, and despite her expensive Convocation Academy education, Nic is doomed to be a familiar like her mother. Forced to participate in the Betrothal Trials, she receives a wizard suitor for one night each month. Whichever man impregnates her will bond her to them forever. With no choice but to serve the one who wins her, Nic has one hope for control over her life: a wizard she can manipulate. Gabriel Phel seems like the perfect choice for Nic’s gambit—he’s desperate and untutored in wizardry—but within moments of meeting him, she feels the bonds of magic tying them together. Afraid of losing her will to the compelling wizard who touches her heart like no other, Nic does the unthinkable: she runs. Pregnant and alone, Nic eludes monstrous hunters, searching for a safe haven. But when Gabriel catches up to her, their adventure has only begun.

In a moment of panic, Bryan breaks what shouldn’t be broken and alters his predestined path. He must earn trust and learn forgiveness if he’s going to fulfill his destiny and stop the evil that’s intent on destroying everyone he loves. Fate doesn’t like anyone messing up her plans. Max Fraser has spent the last five hundred years protecting and supporting his Prince. His sense of responsibility, logical thinking, and no-nonsense attitude have served him well as Second in command of the North American covens. His life is complete…except, in the deepest recesses of his soul, he longs to find and join with his fated Bloodmate. When that momentous day finally arrives, the one destined to be his breaks the most sacred of vampire bonds…and his trust. The fate of the world now hangs on his willingness to forgive. But how does one forgive when trust has been lost? Fate believes in second chances, but you have to work for it. That which is broken must be mended, the unforgivable must be forgiven, and lost faith must be restored, before the malevolent shadow that threatens their world consumes them all. This book is not a standalone and is best read as part of a series. Tags: MM Paranormal Romance, Vampire & Magic-user, Heat Level One, Fated Mates, Demon, Final Battle, HEA
Download or read book Eternal Bonds True Contracts written by A. G. Harmon and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eternal Bonds, True Contracts, A. G. Harmon closely analyzes Shakespeare's concentrated use of the law and its instruments in what have often been referred to as the problem plays: Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, The Merchant of Venice, and All's Well That Ends Well. Contracts, bonds, sureties, wills—all ensure a changed relationship between parties, and in Shakespeare the terms are nearly always reserved for use in the contexts of marriage and fellowship. Harmon explores the theory and practice of contractual obligations in Renaissance England, especially those involving marriage and property, in order to identify contractual elements and their formation, execution, and breach in the plays. Using both legal and literary resources, Harmon reveals the larger significance of these contractual concepts by illustrating how Shakespeare develops them both dramatically and thematically. Harmon's study ultimately enables the reader to perceive not only these plays but also all of Shakespeare's writing—including his poetry—as integral with, and implicated in, the proliferating legalism that was helping to define early modern English culture.
