Download or read book A Bridge of Doom written by Kurt Paul Hotelling and published by . This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THREE PATHS CONVERGE PRELUDE: THE HOSTAGE PRINCE-The bonds are tight, his sword broken, the possibility of rescue hopeless; heir to the throne of the western kingdom, Prince Kajor will be sacrificed on the reptilian Grems' primitive altar of blood and revenge. And yet, he fears neither his enemies, nor the endless torture, nor death, but the eventual ruin of his people under their hateful claws. Doubtful of her charged task, a young woman, Royal Messenger under guidance from the only Master Enchanter undertakes an impossible mission, seeking help from a mythical and almost forgotten demigod. AGENTS OF THE DARK ONE-A final heartbeat, demons at the door, an appeal for help, a chance bridge across the void of the Unknown. Violations of metaphysical law during the rescue of Prince Kajor have brought the inescapable wrath and cold justice of Spectres; a singular, violent death stalks Royal Messenger Marie. Back home, bereft of any trace of his adventure, Paul is heartbroken amidst questions about his own sanity. Rothson can only hope his final expenditure of Power will reach demigod and enchanter before disaster befalls and all that they have achieved is overturned. ENCHANTER'S LOT-A faint breath of shadow whispers past Maximillian amidst his private ritual of black magic, bidding him find someone; Paul helps Marie adjust to existence in his complicated world, unaware of the dark forces seeking them out; Enchanter Gaiwan's manhunt for a renegade sorcerer turns sour, bringing upon him the wrath of dragons, and a nearly impossible errand. Relentlessly, all are drawn to meet across A BRIDGE OF DOOM. This is the first of a series of classical fantasy that combines otherworld elements with this everyday world in a believable manner. The fundamentals of Magic and Power, intrinsic to the story, both psychic and mystic, are described and explained in detail (as opposed to an assumptive glossing over.) The editors at DAW Books cited this book and its sequel "An enjoyable epic. The characters, villains, and creatures are nicely done." This first book begins with Prelude: The Hostage Prince. The heir to the throne of the western lands awakens from a nightmare to find himself still bound and tied to a rough hewn stake, prisoner of his enemies, the Grems, a race of walking, yet primitive, reptilians, "lizards," that have warred unceasingly with the unwanted settlers of their territory. Staunching refusing to negotiate peace of co-existence, the Grems fight a losing battle. In a last, desperate effort, the lizards capture Prince Kajor and hold him hostage far from any aid or rescue, then prepare to perform a murderous blood sacrifice of the Prince on the battlefield before their enemies. Meanwhile, Marie, a royal messenger, has been charged by Master Enchanter Rothson to carry a plea for help through a mystic gateway to a nearly forgotten demigod. Though herself doubtful, especially of mages and enchanters, Marie remains loyal to her future king. Armed with only her wits, her steed, she is given a silver talisman that is to be her protector and key to the gateway. The fact of this being a medieval world other than ancient Earth is revealed when mention is made of the first and second sunrises. Riding at the stroke of first dawn and, under protection of an enchantment cast by her master, Marie avoids capture by Grems along the way and breaches the mystic gateway. Arriving on the far side-a place the reader will recognize as present-day Earth, she is to a college student named Paul asleep in his dormitory room. Unbeknownst to any of them, mysterious entities, metaphysical guardians from her home world, have followed her across the mystic bridge, seeking to restore balance of power, either by escorting her back home alone and reversing events, or by destroying her immediately. The story continues in the second part titled: Agents of the Dark One and the main third part, Enchanter's Lot.

Book excerpt: Brave Medraut is a fitting heir to the throne—but he can never be king—in this fantasy retelling of the legend of Mordred from the author of Code Name Verity. Medraut is the eldest son of High King Artos, and would-be heir to the British throne—if not for an unfortunate circumstance of birth. Instead, his weak and unskilled half-brother, Lleu, is chosen as successor. Medraut cannot bear the thought of being ruled by the boy who has taken what he believes is rightfully his. Consumed by jealousy, he turns to Morgause, the high king’s treacherous sister, who exploits Medraut’s shame and plots to take over the throne. But when Medraut discovers Lleu’s inner strength and goodness, he finds his battle is not just with the kingdom, but with the demons inside himself. Now he must choose where his allegiances truly lie. Perfect for readers of Robin McKinley and Jane Yolen, The Winter Prince is an “engrossing” novel that “fantasy lovers and devotees of Arthurian legends will enjoy,” from an author who has won honors ranging from the Carnegie Medal to the Edgar Award (Booklist).

When said princess embarks on a pilgrimage, Tulen grabs her only chance to offer a sacrifice at the holy city of Suci—and maybe, finally, feel clean again.

When Tulen’s pilgrimage intersects with Sultan Mikal’s quest to fulfil the Covenant of Salt, Tulen faces a difficult dilemma: What is her absolution worth in the face of the sultanate’s very existence?

Download or read book Letter to a Hostage written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter to a Hostage is a book by the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Saint-Exupéry initially wrote this piece as a preface for his best friend, Léon Werth’s novel: Trente-trois jours (Thirty Three Days). Werth had been forced to take refuge in the Jura region of France during the autumn of 1940 because of his Jewish origins. His book, however, could not be published, and so the author significantly revised his preface, removing any direct references to his friend and making him anonymous within the text and a symbol for France as the hostage of the occupying forces. This version was published independently in June 1943. The work is comprised of six short chapters which reflect upon recent aspects of the author’s life (travelling to Portugal, impressions of the Sahara, living in the USA...), and combines references to his friendship with Werth and to his love for his country.

Holding bank manager Claire Keesey hostage and cleaning out the vault were simple. But career criminal Doug MacRay didn't plan on one thing: falling hard for Claire. When he tracks her down without his mask and gun, their mutual attraction is undeniable. With a tenacious FBI agent following his every move, he imagines a life away from his gritty, dangerous work—a life centered around Claire. But before that can happen, Doug and his crew learn that there may be a way to rob Boston's venerable baseball stadium, Fenway Park. Risky yet utterly irresistible, it would be the perfect heist to end his criminal career and begin a new life. But, as it turns out, pursuing Claire may be the most dangerous act of all. Racing to an explosive climax, Prince of Thieves is a brash tale of robbery in all its forms—and an unforgettable odyssey of crime, love, ambition, and dreams.
