Download or read book Wolf s Blood written by Jane Lindskold and published by Obsidian Tiger Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last thing Firekeeper and Blind Seer ever thought would happen was that they would end up as part of a small alliance united to hold the gates of the Nexus Islands against the massed might of the Old World nations. If the alliance is to have any hope of success, Firekeeper and Blind Seer must first find a way to break querinalo: the arcane plague that tortures the body and soul of any who possess even the slightest trace of magical talent. If querinalo is not vanquished, the Nexus Islands will fall – opening the New World to invasion. This is not the first seemingly impossible challenge the wolf-woman has faced, but this time she may face it without Blind Seer at her side. When querinalo touched the blue-eyed wolf, Blind Seer discovered an aspect of himself that he will not speak of to anyone – not even to Firekeeper. As the rumbles of invasion shake the gates of the Nexus Islands, Firekeeper stands not only in danger of losing home and friends, but also of losing the partner of her heart.

Download or read book Rails written by Barry Taylor and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a guide to rails, a relatively homogeneous family of birds spread throughout the world. Barry Taylor and Ber van Perlo have described and illustrated 145 species of rails, including two that are newly described, and also ten that are recently extinct and two that are almost certainly extinct. The book, based on up-to-date references and on new observations, is the first to give comprehensive information on field identification (including voice), covering all species and races for which details are known. It is also the first to provide descriptions of the immature and juvenile plumages of many species. The authors provide a detailed summary of current knowledge of all aspects of rail biology and their often complex behaviour, social structure, and family life. They explain how such apparently poorly flying birds can undertake intercontinental migrations and are such widespread and successful colonists of remote oceanic islands. They also discuss the remarkable ease and speed with which species on such islands have evolved into flightless forms in the absence of predators, a fact that has led to the rapid extinction of numerous island taxa following the arrival of man. Rail habitats are fast disappearing, say the authors, and many rails become endangered before enough is known about them to plan effective conservation measures. The book provides information on distribution, status, habitat requirements, and current threats, and it gives conservation priorities for threatened species.

Download or read book Between Two Fires written by Christopher Buehlman and published by Ace. This book was released on 2013 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Buehlman...slips effortlessly into a different kind of literary sensibility, one that doesn't scrimp on earthy humor and lyrical writing in the face of unspeakable horrors."* The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found an orphan of the Black Death in a Norman village. An almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that the plague is only part of a larger cataclysm--that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on Heaven. But is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across an apocalyptic landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission. There her true nature will be revealed. And there Thomas will confront an evil wrestling for the throne of Heaven, and which has poisoned his own soul. *Kirkus Reviews
