Download or read book Rewild written by Devin Grayson and published by Dark Horse Comics. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fables meets The Fisher King in this dark, magical realist tale about a mysterious young homeless woman, an enterprising engineer with a troubled past, and a dangerous new breed of Fae, ravaged by climate change and furious with the human race. A motley collection of disturbing mythological creatures have started to stake out the land of those who damaged them—and the planet—and they aren’t backing down. When Poe, an entrancing drifter and self-proclaimed changeling demands that Demond build a park to appease them, he first worries about her grasp on reality, and then, along with his family, his own. Soon, he—and the reader—must question the rationality of our entire species as Demond struggles to save his city… and maybe even the world. But are we past the point of no return? “Far-out fantasy and brutal environmental reality collide in the finest work yet from Devin Grayson, whose sophisticated storytelling is perfectly paired with the outrageously lovely visuals of Yana Adamovic. Very highly recommended.”- Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y, the Last Man) “Rewild is a profound look at what humanity has lost in the name of progress. It's beautiful, powerful, and through some magic trick simultaneously grim and hopeful.” - Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) “ ...a timely examination of humanity’s relationship with the natural world, woven into a glorious fantasy adventure pitting man against Faerie.” - Mark Buckingham (Fables)

Download or read book I am Mario M and this is my story written by Pierpaolo Maiorano and published by Il Pierpo. This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 1384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CODENAME’S 5in1 E-Series: SILVERWOLF - A past to forget. A big story in five chapters. A STORY NO ONE HAS EVER DARED TO TELL! The series CODENAME: SILVERWOLF - A Past to Forget, is the story of Mario M., a former agent of America’s most powerful and secretive government agency. His life, his missions, his troubled loves, his journey in search of the life he always dreamed of, and which several times eluded him a moment before becoming true, because he put the happiness of others before his own. The series encompasses several genres, including social themes, action, thrillers and psychological mysteries. It is a single story conceived in five parts, which also “work” as stand-alone books and do not follow the temporal order of events. In addition, the narrative style changes within the same book: a mix of genres ranging from current affairs to crime, from romance to thriller, with plenty of adventure, excitement and suspense, making the 1200 pages fluid and enjoyable to read. The first book deals with a highly topical social issue: the father-son relationship when sexual “diversity” is discovered or confessed. Roberto, a charming and charismatic rich businessman, has neglected his family for too long, and when he discovers his teenage son’s homosexuality, he cannot accept it. He hates him, beats him, kicks him out of the house. And this intransigence causes him to lose family and friends. He lives terrible days, he cannot find the strength to react, he is on the verge of giving up, when Mario enters his life, who with his methods helps him not only to accept the boy, but to love him more than before and to advise him. However, Roberto is also the victim of a shady character who wants to ruin him by attacking his business and his loved ones. Mario finds himself juggling between Roberto’s intransigence in accepting Nick, the search for this mysterious character, and his own heart. This forces him not only to risk his life, but also to come to terms with his feelings after such a long time. The second book, is the continuation in time of the first, in which between conspiracies, old loves, the discovery of being a father and the meeting with an old friend... he will make us understand what can lead to hatred brooded for years. Resentment, unleashing its tragic power of revenge, triggers a series of dramatic events, regardless of the involvement of people who have nothing to do with this hatred. With the third, we go back in time. To the genesis of the protagonist. We discover how Mario M., a very normal person, finds himself involved in an American espionage story that forces him to flee his city, his country, his loved ones. And when he is offered to become a special agent of the most secret and powerful government agency in the U.S.A., the adrenaline rush he gets and the cases he solves seem to be the crowning of his childhood dreams. But in an instant, dreams can turn into nightmares! And you find yourself on the run. Once again! In the fourth chapter, Mario is the absolute protagonist. A kind of introspective confession, a painful part of his life that reveals his true spirit: that of a person with such pure feelings that he puts his happiness aside for the good of others. He tells it as if we were leafing through his personal and secret diary, making us emotional, crying, trembling, cheering for him and finally discovering how he became what he is today! The last chapter brings us back to the present. He and Roberto have moved to America, and Jr. joins them to study. But the boy is kidnapped by the New York’s Mafia. Mario is forced to once again wear those shoes that he has repudiated for years. And when he has to decide whether to help the man who, years before, blamed him for the death of his daughter and forced him to flee... he has no doubts. He discovers that he is the only one capable of recovering the so-called Mafia treasure, a billion dollars that Davon hid before he was captured: is he really the only one capable of recovering this money? Amidst a thousand doubts and fears, will he succeed in freeing himself and Jr? And what price will he have to pay? Will he be able to untangle himself once more, or this time...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t miss Ami Polonsky’s stunning new novel, World Made of Glass "Tenderly and courageously told, Gracefully Grayson is a small miracle of a book. Its story is so compelling I found myself holding my breath as I read it and so intimate I felt as if what was happening to Grayson was happening to me. Thank you, Ami Polonsky, for creating this memorable character who will open hearts and minds and very possibly be the miracle that changes lives." -James Howe, award-winning and best-selling author of The Misfits What if who you are on the outside doesn't match who you are on the inside? Grayson Sender has been holding onto a secret for what seems like forever: "he" is a girl on the inside, stuck in the wrong gender's body. The weight of this secret is crushing, but sharing it would mean facing ridicule, scorn, rejection, or worse. Despite the risks, Grayson's true self itches to break free. Will new strength from an unexpected friendship and a caring teacher's wisdom be enough to help Grayson step into the spotlight she was born to inhabit? Debut author Ami Polonsky's moving, beautifully-written novel about identity, self-esteem, and friendship shines with the strength of a young person's spirit and the enduring power of acceptance. Praise for Gracefully Grayson "Don't be intimidated when I say that Gracefully Grayson is an important book. (It is.) It's also a brave, exhilarating, heart-stopping, roller-coaster ride of self-discovery that will leave you cheering." -Dean Pitchford, Oscar-winning songwriter and award-winning author of Captain Nobody and Nickel Bay Nick "In this sweet and thoughtful debut, an introverted sixth grader begins to come into her own as a transgender girl. The writing is clear and effortless, with a straightforward plot and likable characters. Grayson is a charming narrator who balances uncertainty with clarity, bravery with anxiety. This title has less obvious and didactic intent than other novels featuring transgender protagonists. A welcome addition to a burgeoning genre." -School Library Journal "Thoughtfully told through Grayson's eyes, the story conveys his angst, hurt, loss, and emerging confidence as he struggles with a whirlwind of emotions. His new friends allow him to find the courage to become who "she" really is, and we are privileged to watch the transformation take place. With great courage, Polonsky's debut novel reminds us with much sensitivity that we are all unique and deserve to become who we are meant to be." -Booklist "Polonsky captures the loneliness of a child resigned to disappear rather than be rejected, and then the courageous risk that child eventually takes to be seen for who she is. The first-person narration successfully positions readers to experience Grayson's confusion, fear, pain, and triumphs as they happen, lending an immediate and intimate feel to the narrative." -Horn Book
