Book excerpt: Here in this third complete-in-itself novel of the Incarnations of Immortality, Piers Anthony weaves a fascinating plot as tangled as any skein of fate. This is Anthony at his most ingenious, with another gripping fantasy of the struggle of the incarnations against the machinations of Satan. When the man Niobe loved was shot, she learned that she had been the target, in a devious plot of the Devil's. Hoping for revenge. Niobe accepted a position as one of the three Aspects of Fate, only to find that Satan's plots were tangled into the very Tapestry of Fate. Now the Evil One was laying a trap to ruin Niobe's granddaughter Luna, who threatened his plans—and he had tricked her son into Hell. Niobe's only chance to save her son and Luna was to accept a challenge by the Prince of Deceit—a challenge to be decided in Hell and in a maze of Satan's devising!

Download or read book The Tangled Skein written by Emmuska Orczy Baroness Orczy and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Tangled Skein, Baroness Orczy does not depict Queen Mary as darkly as she is usually depicted. Indeed, Mary is portrayed as a woman who is so passionately loving, lovable, and always swayed by justice. The skein is tangled due to Mary's rumored love for Robert d'Esclade, fifth Duke of Wessex, whom the people of England want to be King Consort. He is the embodiment of all chivalry and every virtue dear to an Englishman's heart. So far, he is fancy-free but other than deep respect for and loyalty to his Queen, he has no other feelings, and the idea of marrying her for political reasons repulses him. He is also half-betrothed, but not legally, to Lady Ursula Glynde, whom he hasn't seen since she was a baby. Wessex is repulsed by the prospect of having his wife thrust upon him in any way, and he avoids the girl on purpose, aided and abetted by the Queen, who tries jealousy to keep him from succumbing to Ursula's undoubted fascinations. When you add the powerful Cardinal Moreno and Phillip II of Spain to the mix, the skein becomes even more tangled.

Indeed Mary is depicted as so passionately loving as to be almost lovable, a woman of strong emotions, invariably swayed by justice. The tangling of the skein is due to Mary's supposititious love for Robert d'Esclade, fifth Duke of Wessex, whom the people of England desire to become King Consort. He is the embodiment of all chivalry, and every virtue dear to the heart of an Englishman. He is, so far, fancy free, but beyond deep respect for, and loyalty to, his Queen, he has no other feeling, and the idea of marriage with her merely for political reasons is repulsive to him. He is at the same time half betrothed, but not bindingly, to Lady Ursula Glynde, whom he has not seen since her babyhood. Wessex is repelled by the idea of having his wife thrust upon him in any way, and purposely avoids the girl, in which he is, unknown to himself, aided and abetted by the Queen, who tries jealously to guard him against falling a victim to Ursula's undoubted fascinations. Add to this trio, the powerful Cardinal Moreno and Phillip II of Spain and the skein only becomes more tangled.
