Book Description
We're burning from within.... So, I'm in trouble. My mate, Iain, thinks I betrayed him. That's because I did--using a love potion to control him. But now, it's stopped working, and there's nothing left but his anger. He's not the only one pissed off at me. My Court knows that I've lost the sacred stone of our people, putting everyone in danger. When the Royal Guard comes for me with a pair of fire manacles, I'm not surprised. But when my estranged mate, king of the Sea Fae, strolls into the Court of Fire to help me.... Well, that bit is unexpected. I'm in no position to turn down help, even if my mate is hardly speaking to me. If we don't recover the Soul Stone soon, all of my people will burn from within. As we go deep into enemy territory, the desire between us becomes impossible to resist. And if I can't fight it, he'll never let me go.

Pages : 368
Book Description
Four girls with the power to control the elements and save the world from a terrible evil must come together in the first epic novel in a brand-new series. When Phantoms--massive beasts made from nightmares and darkness--suddenly appeared and began terrorizing the world, four girls, the Effigies, each gained a unique power to control one of the classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Since then, four girls across the world have continually fought against the Phantoms, fulfilling their cosmic duty. And when one Effigy dies, another girl gains her power as a replacement. But now, with technologies in place to protect the world's major cities from Phantom attacks, the Effigies have stopped defending humanity and, instead, have become international celebrities, with their heroic feats ranked, televised, and talked about in online fandoms. Until the day that New York City's protection against the Phantoms fails, a man seems to be able to control them by sheer force of will, and Maia, a high school student, unexpectedly becomes the Fire Effigy. Now Maia has been thrown into battle with three girls who want nothing to do with one another. But with the first human villain that the girls have ever faced, and an army of Phantoms preparing for attack, there isn't much time for the Effigies to learn how to work together. Can the girls take control of their destinies before the world is destroyed forever?

Category : Kaiten (Torpedoes)
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
"On April 16, 2001, at 12:10h (local time) at Ulithi Atoll in the Federated States of Micronesia, USS Mississinewa (A)-59), the ghost ship of Ulithi Lagoon, is located. Thus ended an odyssey that began May 18, 1944 when the US Navy tanker was commissioned. Fifty seven year earlier USS Mississinewa had been sunk by Japan's secret weapon. The Japanese kaiten was an underwater craft, designed as a human torpedo and built solely as a suicide weapon. On that Monday morning, Sub-lieutenant Seiko Nishina steered his forty-eight-foot long kaiten into Ulithi lagoon and vowed, "I must not fail ... The emperor will reign 10,000 years!" Nishina's last view was the large numeral 59 on the starboard bow of Mississinewa. Nishina reached for the chout-su handle and the kaiten surged forward. Death was certain now. Duty, honor, patriotism, courage, hope and faith - these words inspired countless members of the twentieth century's 'Greatest generation' who fought for the United States in WWII, the greatest conflict in human history. The author heard the same words from aging Japanese veterans who fought to save Japan from inevitable defeat with a devastating, almost incomprehensible, weapon the Imperial Japanese Navy called kaiten."--Book jacket.
