Author: Ruby Duvall
Publisher: Ruby Duvall
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
A nightmare he cannot escape… Before earning his position as a commander in the new empress's forces, Jun spent most of his life as a roaming mercenary, on the run from a past that holds his heart hostage. So when rumors of lust-eating demons emerge from the land of his youth, he embarks on a mission for redemption, only to find himself face to face with a woman he thought long dead—a woman who hasn't aged in twenty years. A curse she can't break… Magic has only ever betrayed Mikari, turning her own heart against her. Unable to trust herself or the true motives of the only man she's ever loved, Mikari knows the best way to protect them both is to push him away, lest he discover how broken she is beneath her jaded façade. An evil only they can face… But when Mikari and Jun are attacked and forced to spend the winter in the highlands of Gozu, they discover something far more sinister than demons may be behind the evil that surrounds them. And Mikari's curse could be the key to vanquishing it… ♥♥♥ At the Maze's Center is a full-length "dark lite" fantasy romance featuring demons, magic battles, and a steamy second-chance romance between two long-lost lovers who tragically reunite as enemies. If you like angsty slow burns, forced proximity, loads of spice, and a grumpy/sunshine vibe, you'll love At the Maze's Center!

Book Description
Minotaur Maze is Robert Sheckley’s modern take on the myth of the Minotaur. It is a tour de force of imagination, fantasy, and creative confusion. Through brief chapters running from “How Theseus Got His First Mintoauring Job” to “I Hate to Blame Daedalus for Everything,” “The Attack of the Self Pity Plant,” “Daedalus Dispenses with Causality,” and finally, “Falling Through the Story,” we travel a maze as lethally complicated as the Minotaur’s and arrive at the end breathless with wonder, surprise, and laughter. Sheckley, a master of science fiction, has been called “a precursor to Douglas Adams” by the New York Times.

Book Description
It’s a great big open world, and the sea calls out with promises of adventure. Endless opportunities and boundless wealth seem to linger just beyond the horizon. But for some, that’s still too far. Every society has its invisibles; those not welcome, not ‘one of us’. It is society’s nature to divide itself into many tiers. No matter how you arrange them, one tier always has to be on the bottom. On that tier is Ryo Sansen. Ryo is an outcast, an invisible in her society, and for no reason beyond the fact that she had the audacity to be born. So, what is a young girl to do in her position? Why, change the world, of course.

Maze, the brother of Amber, and son of Abigail and Matthew, is the new King of Werewolves. He is determined and ambitious in his new position and grateful to his sister for her trust in him. However, soon Maze faces challenges as his pack comes under attack by rogues and demons. Amidst the chaos, his beloved mate, Mira Rose, is deadly injured and soon after dies in his arms. After his mate's death, Maze becomes distant, grumpy, and angry at the world. He made a vow at the grave of Mira. He would never take another mate. Never would he love someone else. But once again life throws him for a loop. Maze is faced with his second chance mate. What's worse, his wolf accepts their mate without asking him! *** 'You bloody flea infected mutt! You fucking accepted her without asking me. What is wrong with all of you?! I am not replacing my mate. Period.'

Making her say my name over and over again in ecstasy. I shake my head violently, trying to get a grip on reality. 'Kiara is our mate, and I will claim her myself if I have too!

And she is not a wolf, despite being born between two wolf parents.

She travels to her aunt and uncle's pack, where she meets her second chance in the moody King of Werewolves- Maze. What happens when the stubborn and headstrong Kiara is faced with the heavy baggage of her mate? Will she be able to get through his tough exterior and help him overcome the ghosts from the past?

Pages : 833
Book Description
Now with all new content by John Ringo! The aliens had arrived With gifts, warnings, and an offer we couldn't refuse.... Our choice was simple: we could be cannon fodder, or we could be ... fodder. We could send our forces to fight and die (as only humans can) against a ravening horde that was literally feeding on its interstellar conquests¾or remain as we were¾virtually weaponless and third in line for brunch. We chose to fight. Thanks to alien technology and sheer guts, the Terrans on two worlds fought the Posleen to a standstill. Thank God there was a moment to catch our breath, a moment, however brief, of peace¾. Now, for the survivors of the Barwhon and Diess Expeditionary Forces, it was a chance to get some distance from the blood and misery of battle against the Posleen centaurs. A blessed chance to forget the screams of the dying in purple swamps and massacres under searing alien suns. For Earth it was an opportunity to flesh out their force of raw recruits with combat-seasoned veterans. Political, military and scientific blundering had left the Terran forces in shambles-and with the Posleen Invasion only months away, these shell-shocked survivors might be the only people capable of saving the Earth from devastation. If the veterans had time to lick their wounds. Because the Posleen don't read schedules. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
"I address you across more than three thousand years, you who live at the conjunction of the Fish and the Water-carrier," speaks Daedalus, an artisan, inventor, and designer born into an utterly alien family of heroes who value acts of war above all else, a world where his fellow Greeks seem driven only to destroy--an existence he feels compelled to escape.In this fictional autobiography of the father of Icarus, "Apollo's creature," a brilliant but flawed man, writer and sculptor Michael Ayrton harnesses the tales of the past to mold a myth for our times. We learn of Daedalus's increasingly ambitious artifacts and inventions; his fascination with Minoan culture, commerce, and religion, and his efforts to adapt to them; how he comes to design the maze of the horned Minotaur; and how, when he decides that he must flee yet again, he builds two sets of wax wings--wings that will be instruments of his descent into the underworld, a place of both purgatory and rebirth.A compelling mix of history, fable, lore, and meditations on the enigma of art, The Maze Maker will ensnare classicists, artists, and all lovers of story in its convolutions of life and legend. "I never understood the pattern of my life," writes Daedalus, "so that I have blundered through it in a maze."
