Except N’skara isn’t the same as it was ten years ago, and the person she came for is nowhere to be found. After being taken ashore by armed guards of the same Council they came to sway, Quinn knows it’s up to her to uncover the truth about what really happened, while seeking the retribution owed to her. Lazarus knew she was hiding something. He knew she had unfinished business in N’skara. But never could he have known this. He hadn’t predicted how set in their ways the people were. He hadn’t listened to the warnings when Quinn spoke of secrets and lies. He hadn’t realized that the woman he couldn’t stay away from was forged as much by blood as she was by darkness. Now it was time to learn. In a land of sheep, it pays to be a wolf.

Download or read book HIM written by Richard Staschy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-20 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 25 years after the zombie apocalypse! Mankind has found a winning edge against the zombies. The solution to the zombie threat is a device called a "Lifeline" - a band worn around the neck. The Lifeline decapitates the wearer upon death, preventing the person, who soon becomes a zombie, the mobility to seek out and harm others. Soon the Lifelines became a symbolic comfort tool that removed the stress of a sudden society meltdown and its monitoring capabilities allowed the government to know where you are at all times. Then one day, a citizen wearing a Lifeline, was found in a zombie infested area. The victim was part of a string of kidnappings and murders that were happening right under the government's radar. These undetected actions seem to be caused by a lone serial killer. Now the government is worried that the citizens will find out that a psychopath knows how to manipulate the Lifelines. The government must stop HIM before there is a society meltdown.

Download or read book Technologies of the New Real written by Arthur Kroker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With astonishing speed, we have been projected into a new reality where interactions with drones, robotic bodies, and high-level surveillance are increasingly mainstream. In this age of groundbreaking developments in robotic technologies, synthetic biology is merging with artificial intelligence, forming a newly blended reality of machines, bodies, and affect. Technologies of the New Real draws from critical intersections of technology and society – including drones, surveillance, DIY bodies, and innovations in robotic technology – to explore what these advances can tell us about our present reality, or what authors Arthur and Marilouise Kroker deem the "new real" of digital culture in the twenty-first century. Technologies of the New Real explores the many technologies of our present reality as they infiltrate the social, political, and economic static of our everyday lives, seemingly eroding traditionally conceived boundaries between humans and machines, and rendering fully ambivalent borders between the human mind and simulated data.

The Lonari-- the Westmen-- were once great dreamers, riders, and explorers, who throughout many centuries have settled and found value in home and hearth. Yet there are few among them now, named Outriders, who roam Eryad as lone nomads, vagabonds, and highwaymen. One such outrider, Evyrn Úthjan, goes where none have ever returned from in the vain pursuit of fame; but in the Twisted City, no whisper utters from those that pass its foggy gates. Follow Evyrn into Skaier, into a place of storms and secrets. Look upon the still lightning and eternal violet skies, upon the writhing stone and twitching shadows, where answers lay hidden and in waiting. Evyrn must peer through the veil of terror to find his escape. Will he persevere, or will he join the forgotten within the fog of the Twisted City?

Download or read book Archive of Tongues written by Moon Charania and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Archive of Tongues Moon Charania explores feminine dispossession and the brown diaspora through a reflection on the life of her mother. Drawing on her mother’s memories and stories of migration, violence, sexuality, queerness, domesticity, and the intimate economies of everyday life, Charania conceptualizes her mother’s tongue as an object of theory and an archive of brown intimate life. By presenting a mode of storytelling that is sensual and melancholic, piercing and sharp, Charania recovers otherwise silenced modes of brown mothers’ survival, disobedience, and meaning making that are often only lived out in invisible, intimate spaces, and too often disappear into them. In narrating her mother’s tongue as both metaphor for and material reservoir of other ways of knowing, Charania gestures to the afflictions, limits, and failures of feminist, queer, and postcolonial scholarly interrogations and the consequences of closing the archive of the brown mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isandor, City of Spires. A hundred and thirty years have passed since Arathiel last set foot in his home city. Isandor hasn’t changed—bickering merchant families still vie for power through eccentric shows of wealth—but he has. His family is long dead, a magical trap has dulled his senses, and he returns seeking a sense of belonging now long lost. Arathiel hides in the Lower City, piecing together a new life among in a shelter dedicated to the homeless and the poor, befriending an uncommon trio: the Shelter’s rageful owner, Larryn, his dark elven friend Hasryan, and Cal the cheese-loving halfling. When Hasryan is accused of Isandor’s most infamous assassination of the last decade, what little peace Arathiel has managed to find for himself is shattered. Hasryan is innocent… he thinks. In order to save him, Arathiel may have to shatter the shreds of home he’d managed to build for himself. Arathiel could appeal to the Dathirii—a noble elven family who knew him before he disappeared—but he would have to stop hiding, and they have battles of their own to fight. The idealistic Lord Dathirii is waging a battle of honour and justice against the cruel Myrian Empire, objecting to their slavery, their magics, and inhumane treatment of their apprentices. One he could win, if only he could convince Isandor’s rulers to stop courting Myrian’s favours for profit. In the ripples that follow Diel’s opposition, friendships shatter and alliances crumble. Arathiel, the Dathirii, and everyone in Isandor fights to preserve their homes, even if the struggle changes them irrevocably.

They can feel his quiet footsteps resounding across the world and heralding the renewed conflict between their families.
