Book Description
Jennifer My fated mate is our mortal enemy bent on our destruction and it’s all my fault. I made him into the monster he is and now I have to be the one to deal with him. So be it. It’s not like I could let them kill him! Maybe one day they’ll understand why I did what I did. Every time we meet we are either trying to tear each other’s heads or clothes off, either way, not a lot of communication happening in this relationship. Tyler I’ve been exiled from my homeland, lost my Knighthood, and left for dead in the harsh desert. It’s all thanks to one woman who haunts my dreams like a waking nightmare. Although perhaps it’s more like a wet dream. Still, I didn’t ask for this, I didn’t want to be made into one of them but now I am and I’ve had my very soul stolen from me. One woman bears responsibility for everything that goes wrong in my life and I’ll make her and her family pay not only for what they’ve done to me but also for the power they have over mankind itself. A power I intend to harness. If only I could stop falling in love every time I see her.

Book Description
Charlotte Here's the thing, I may have accidentally brought out my fated mate’s inner Dragon by burning him alive. In my defense, I didn’t know he was down there or even who he is. Now I have to track down a feral Dragon and teach him how to shift and protect himself before he exposes our race to the world or decimates an entire city. I did mention it was an accident right? We all make mistakes, surely you’ve been there? Rhett One minute I was gathering intel in the war against the most power hungry foe the world never knew existed. The next, I’m trapped inside a Dragon's body and can only watch as the woman I’ve had a serious crush on ever since I came to work as a mercenary for Drak Defense Co. is trying to subdue the angry Dragon inside a pirates cave. Now, she says I’m her fated mate, and she needs to teach me to control the Dragon within me that has apparently been there since I was born but somehow she swears I was an accident and she never meant to bring me into her world and once we're done, I’m free to go. I’ve been gently declined for a date before but this one takes the cake.

The Dragon in the West
Author: Daniel Ogden
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192565877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.

Melusine the Serpent Goddess in A. S. Byatt's Possession and in Mythology
Author: Gillian M. E. Alban
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739104712
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Gillian Alban meticulously pursues the Fairy Melusine snake-woman image through the plot and the poetry of A. S. Byatt's novel Possession, into medieval legend, and beyond into her antecedents in ancient myth. The book describes the erotically inspiring force of Melusine's love story and draws parallels with goddesses such as Lamia, Ishtar or Inanna, Isis, and Asherah. Mother, creator, and leader, the figure of Melusine was ultimately vilified and tellingly converted into the demon of patriarchal accounts, as seen in the examples of Lilith, Medusa, Scylla, and the serpent in the Garden. Alban deconstructs part of Genesis, including the roles of Adam and Eve and Cain's crime, and illuminates the Old Testament worship of the goddess Asherah alongside the male Yahweh. A forceful exploration of literature, history, and myth, this study sweeps away limiting assumptions about the female sex. Melusine the Serpent Goddess restores the dignity acknowledged to women of old, making a forceful statement about the power and creativity of women.
