Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Karmilla is an unexpected visitor who intrudes upon the quiet life of Alura, a refined, but sheltered young woman living in her father's château in Switzerland. Never has she encountered anyone like Karmilla, who is worldly, traveled, educated, and who has an ethereal beauty. And very strange habits. Where does Karmilla go at night when she disappears? What is this strange malady which seems to afflict her? Why does daylight hurt her eyes? And what is happening to young women in the nearby village who seem to be falling ill and dying? Alura is about to get an education, but this Karmilla isn't your great-grandmother's story.... The original work upon which this is based is Carmilla by Irish author Sheridan le Fanu. His work is now in the public domain and mine is much changed from his original, but it would be wrong not to acknowledge this outstanding creation of his, with such a modern tone and it has to be said, a slightly risqué approach to a vampire novella a quarter century before Bram Stoker's Dracula appeared on the scene. His is not the first vampire story by any means, but it is a remarkable one, and you can find a free copy of the original online in various places. I urge you to read that one, as well.

The invasion of the Undersurface began in the proud lands of Ferilo. The minlings came not to dominate, but to exterminate the people of the surface.

Her village is destroyed, her country decimated. In what was to be her final flight for her life, she is saved by the most powerful mages the surface has ever seen. But they are ruthless mages, whose power is matched only by their resourcefulness - and Triwalo is the best resource they have ever acquired. Reph, Grinla, Whissen, and their captive have nearly reached Gerulo when a child in a mask comes to their rescue. A child with terrifying power, under the control of an unseen manipulator. Can Reph push her abilities further still before it is too late for the warped girl, and the Ferilo land she once called home?

Lancelot's Grail
Author: Richard Gartee
Publisher: Lake & Emerald Publications
ISBN: 0989510425
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
New age teachings on self-awareness and enlightenment are explored in an Arthurian-age story of two siblings' journey to enlightenment after they discover Sir Lancelot living as a hermit and uncover his knowledge of the Holy Grail. Alura and Frith, abandoned at an abbey as children, have grown up in social isolation and are desperate for a new life. Sir Bedivere, desolate over the knights' abandonment of the Round Table after the fall of Camelot, has come up with a plan. Sir Lancelot, abandoned by his once-adoring public, has found enlightenment while living as a hermit. Their lives converge when Frith leads Sir Bedivere to Lancelot’s hermitage. There, they learn that Lancelot has found the Holy Grail – within himself. Bedivere tries, without success, to persuade Lancelot to come help him rebuild the Knights of The Round Table. After Bedivere departs, Frith begs Lancelot to teach him, hoping to become a knight. Soon Alura joins them, hoping to snare herself a husband. Lancelot, torn between a desire to be left alone and an obligation to pass his knowledge on, agrees to teach them, but soon realizes that everyone simply wants to use him. Yet, seeing the spark of awareness growing in Alura and Frith, he persists and leads them on a quest to penetrate the barriers in themselves that keep them from attaining the Grail. Then Alura falls in love with Lancelot and incites an angry mob. Bedivere urges Lancelot to flee, but Lancelot stays, struggling to finish his work with Alura and Frith in the little time he has left. Under Lancelot's tutelage Alura and Frith come of age, but the ideas presented in Lancelot's Grail invite the reader to reconsider what coming of age really means.

Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
A fate worse than death . . . Bastien Cabarro survived the brutal slaughter of his entire family only to have his wife pin their murders on him. Made Ravin by The League, he is now a target for their assassins-in-training to hunt and kill. The average life expectancy for such beings is six weeks. But defying the odds is what this Gyron Force officer does best, and Bastien won’t rest until he lays his betrayers in their graves. Ten years later, he has one chance to balance the scales of justice, provided he relies on his former wingman— the very sister of the woman who testified against him. Major Ember Wyldestarrin joined the outlaw Tavali the day Kirovar fell into the hands of a tyrant, and she and her sister-team were left on an outpost to die under the barrage of enemy fire. The last thing she wants is to be involved in politics again. But the one thing she wants more than anything is revenge on the tyrant who murdered her parents and forced her and her sisters into exile. Carrying a secret she knows Bastien will annihilate her over, she must find some way to trust her former wingman before he catches on and kills her. Even so, treachery doesn’t come easy to a woman who took a loyalty oath to protect her homeworld and comrades-in-arms, especially when Bastien is much more to her than just a former wingman. Yet as she tries to do right for her family, she learns that Bastien doesn’t just hold the key to the fate of Kirovar, he is vital to The Sentella-League war, and to The Tavali. If she doesn’t ensure he survives this mission, three nations fall, and time for all of them is quickly running out.
