Pages : 419
Book Description
I am Meredith Gentry, P.I. and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Fairie. Now there are those among me who whisper I am more. They fear me even as they protect me. And who can blame them? I’ve awakened the dazzling magic that’s slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can’t figure out why. My aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, is no longer distracted by her usual sadistic hobbies. Her obsession has turned unwaveringly to me. The mission to get me pregnant and beat my cousin Prince Cel to the crown is taking longer than expected. Even though I spend each night with the Queen’s Ravens, my immortal guards, no child has come of our decadent pleasures. But something else is happening. My magic courses through me uncontrollably. And as I lock my half-mortal body with their full-Sidhe blooded ones, the power surges like never before. It all began with the chalice. I dreamed of it, and it appeared, cool and hard, beside me when I awoke. My guards know the ancient relic well—its disappearance ages ago stripped them of their vital powers. But it is here with us now. My touch resonates with its force, and they’re consumed with it, their Sidhe essences lit up by it. But even as they cherish me for this unexpected gift, there are those who loathe me for it. Me, a mongrel, only half fey and part mortal. The Unseelie court has suffered for so long, and there are some who would not have it weakened further by an impure queen. My enemies grow in number every day. But they do not know what I am capable of. Nor, for that matter, do I. . . . In Seduced by Moonlight, Laurell K. Hamilton brings the dark, erotic reign of the immortal fey to a startling new depth. Full of sensuality and the consuming anticipation of latent powers unleashed, this world of gods, shapeshifters, and immortal souls is unveiled in all of its supreme magnificence and its treacherous deceits.

Book Description
In wartime New York City, budding reporter Jenny Ryan is chasing the biggest story of her life. Everyone said the death of her beloved research scientist father was an accident, but she knows it was her fault. When an anonymous phone call puts the blame on wealthy industrialist Marcus Forrester, Jenny doesn't hesitate to act. Armed with absolution and a tenacious drive for justice, she will stop at nothing to bring him down. She didn't count on falling for the key to her plan ? Forrester's mistress. On the surface, Kathryn Hammond has it all: a successful nightclub singing career, elegant grace, and stunning good looks that draw all eyes to her when she enters a room. No one can see her tragic past, or the demons she battles daily as she toils stateside, carrying out what she considers dead-end missions for the OSS while the real war rages in Europe. She knows nothing short of her death in service to the greater good will redeem her for the lives lost on a mission gone bad. All that changes when Jenny Ryan becomes her latest dead-end mission and awakens long dormant concepts like hope, redemption, and the worst thing that could happen to an agent toward their subject: desire. These two women, on very disparate paths, are caught in a reluctant, slow burn that will save them, but at what cost, and are they willing to pay the price?

The Revelation of St. John the Divine - Volume 2
Author: Herb Fitch
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1467076244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This is the second book of two volumes which completes Herb Fitch's interpretation on The Revelation of St. John the Divine. It was transcribed word for word from the tapes of classes 14 through 25 of the Revelation Seminar he gave in 1970. Over the centuries, John's Revelation was in plain sight, yet, not understood, and the reason is because only the Christ Mind in man can reveal the Truth of Being. Not until the year 1970, did a man (who also experienced the Mind which was in Christ Jesus), sit still in meditation over many months, until, at last, the entire message of the Revelation was revealed once again. That man was Herb Fitch. For those of you who have learned to make that contact with Spirit within, this book will now take you further on the Spiritual path. This book will show you how to let that Spirit take over your life. In other words, it will help you to die out of humanhood and be a transparency for Christ; bringing to you an actual awareness of your own Christhood. It is suggested that you find a quiet place and read only one chapter at a time, until Something calls to you from these pages. Then, put these writings down, and walk away, find a place and sit down to meditate on what has stirred you within. I can tell you with a certainty born of experience that you can walk in another Dimension, right here, and right now, a Kingdom, an inner Temple, not made with hands, incomprehensible to the human mind. It is the Dimension in which your Eternal Self walks. It is the Kingdom in which your Spiritual identity resides. It is an inner Presence, the Spirit, closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet, and it must take over your entire living experience, both within and without. Only then will you be obeying the message, You must be born of the Spirit.

On Race
Author: George Yancy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190498560
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
With the recent barrage of racially motivated killings, violent encounters between blacks and whites, and hate crimes in the wake of the 2016 election that foreground historic problems posed by systemic racism, including disenfranchisement and mass incarceration, it would be easy to despair that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream has turned into a nightmare. Many Americans struggle for equal treatment, facing hate speech, brutality, and a national spirit of hopelessness; their reality is hardly "post-racial". The need for clarity surrounding the significance of race and racism in the United States is more pressing than ever. This collection of interviews on race, some originally conducted for The New York Times philosophy blog, The Stone, provides rich context and insight into the nature, challenges, and deepest questions surrounding this fraught and thorny topic. In interviews with such major thinkers as bell hooks, Judith Butler, Cornel West, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Peter Singer, and Noam Chomsky, Yancy probes the historical origins, social constructions, and lived reality of race along political and economic lines. He interrogates fully race's insidious expressions, its transcendence of Black/white binaries, and its link to neo-liberalism, its epistemological and ethical implications, and, ultimately, its future.
