Laughter of Carthage
Author: Michael Moorcock
Publisher: PM Press
ISBN: 1604867760
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, that charming but despicable mythomaniac who first appeared in Byzantium Endures, is back. Having fled Bolshevik Russia in late 1919, Pyat’s progress is a series of leaps from crisis to crisis, as he begins affairs with a Baroness and a Greek prostitute while undertaking schemes to build flying machines in Europe and the United States. His devotion to flamboyantly racist, particularly anti-Semitic doctrines—like his devotion to cocaine—remains unabated, and he both sings the praises of Mussolini and lectures across America for the Ku Klux Klan. (His best kept secret is of course, the fact that he is Jewish.) As the novel ends, Pyat is in Hollywood—his new Byzantium—hobnobbing with movie stars and dreaming of making films like those of his hero, D.W. Griffith. Engineer, braggart, addict, Pyat is a magnificent invention, a genius of innocent vituperation: his finest achievement (and that of the author) is that his own warped and deluded vision is powerful enough to redefine reality. This authoritative edition presents the first time this work has been available in paperback in the U.S., along with a new introduction by Alan Wall.

Book Description
Moulin Rouge meets Holly Black in a thrilling sapphic friends-to-lovers romantasy! This lavish and decedent LGBTQ+ fantasy romance will leave fans of Divine Rivals and Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries utterly enchanted! “A romantic and thrilling story of ambition, magic, and peril.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review After running away from home, Sybil Clarion is eager to embrace all the freedom the Belle Époque city of Severon has to offer. Instead, she’s traded high-society soirées for empty pockets. At least she has Esme, the girl who offered Sybil a home, and if either of them dared, something more. While Esme would rather spend the night tinkering with her clocks and snuggling her cats, Sybil craves excitement and needs money. She plans to get both by stealing the rare posters that crop up around town. But when she’s caught selling a poster by none other than its subject, Maeve, the glamorous girl invites Sybil and Esme to The Absinthe Underground, the exclusive club she co-owns, and reveals herself to be a Green Faerie, trapped in this world. Maeve wants to hire thieves for a daring heist in Fae and is willing to pay enough that Sybil and Esme never have to worry about money again. It’s too good of an offer to pass up, even if Maeve’s tragic story doesn’t quite add up, and the secrets could jeopardize everything the girls have so carefully built. Jamie Pacton, author of The Vermilion Emporium, dazzles in this whimsical and daring romantic fantasy. Fans of Fae lore, slow-burn sapphic pining, and decadently magical worlds will find The Absinthe Underground as ensorcelling as a fairy delight.

An Altogether-Curious Altercation Book 1 of the Secrets of Dragon Mountain (A Knightess of the Realm Novel)
Author: Mangala McNamara
Publisher: Rising Dragon Books
ISBN: 1960160508
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Someone has been kidnapping young adults from all over the Realm. That someone appears to be a golden dragon… and he appears to have settled in at the appropriately named Dragon Mountain in Wave province. Karana, along with Kefen and Ivan, have been detailed by the Lord of Wave, Karana’s foster-uncle (or is he?), to handle the situation. It’s part of what knights of the Realm are trained to do, after all. There’s only a few problems… Kefen has sworn an oath to aid any dragon he comes across. Ivan has dedicated to himself to the service of the Silver Dragon Goddess. And Karana herself had been fascinated by dragons since she was a child. To solve this situation, the three Companions – and soul-bonded beloveds – will not only have to confront dragons, and the very Muse of the Realm, but who they are… and who they think they are. This epic fantasy begins the next Knightess of the Realm mini-series: The Secrets of Dragon Mountain. Explore the mysterious connections between Magick and Economics, Empire and Ethics, Love… and Dragons! ******** Teaser: Her ring – the Queen’s Ring of Taridawil that Kefen had given her for their engagement – twitched. Distractedly, she rubbed at it with her other hand. And it bit her. Alarmed, Karana held up her hand in time to see the tiny golden dragon take flight, followed by a similar silver one. They dove for the caldera at the top of Dragon Mountain, dipped and cavorted around the top. The silver one settled in at the top and the gold one went skimming down to the lower slopes, scooped up a tiny bit of sand, and flew back up. Kefen’s arm slid around her. “You see it, too?” she asked faintly. He nodded. Ivan, seated on the other side, exclaimed as the tiny golden dragon flew around his side of the mountain, and scrambled to his feet. “Karana! Is that what I think it is?” “My ring,” she confirmed. “The Queen’s Ring,” Kefen murmured. “It was said to have magick woven into its making. Though I never heard that it ever did anything magickal.” Well, besides the tiny golden dragon having somehow wrapped itself around the slender silver band sprinkled with infinitesimal diamonds that had been part of Ivan’s proposal to her as soon as the two had both been placed on her hand. “The one you gave me is gone, too,” she told Ivan. “It... seemed to grow wings and fly off as well. There it is!”
