Pages : 386
Book Description
Mother, the queen of darkness, has relentlessly shrouded the world in shadow and chaos. Her plague destines all of the living to die, leaving a chosen few to do her bidding-her undead children, Awoken by a forbidden spell and imbued with the very magic able to kill Mother. Only an Awoken has the power to defeat her and free the living, but all the awoken have succumbed to the queen's call and embraced insanity . . . Except one. The last child needed to complete Mother's family and destroy the living world. The last sane Awoken. The race to find the last sane Awoken had begun. The weight of the world rests on Master Necromancer Dmitry’s success in locating the fated awoken and preparing them to fight. With time running out, Dmitry would do anything to stop mother, even if it meant entering Amaral manor and facing the tyrant dragon lord himself. Together, Dmitry and his team make their way into the dragon's lair before all they know and love perishes in the darkness.

Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
The Wraithwood's Whisper: A Tale of Forgotten Souls and Unseen Shadows In the heart of the Wraithwood, where reality merged with magic and the unexplained, an eclipse cast an ominous darkness. Adam Smith and his companions, standing amidst the ancient trees, felt the triumph of lifting the curse sour into a choking fog of dread. Something had stirred with the alignment of the stars, something that whispered its disdain through the shivering leaves. Their hard-won peace shuddered beneath the weight of an anticipated peril. Marion, her voice the thread connecting worlds, intuited a harrowing truth -- the forest's release from one torment may have awakened another. The woods, abuzz with new apprehension, demanded of its protectors a readiness for the unknown trials that lurked in twilight's embrace. The eclipse was no mere celestial whim; it was a forewarning. A darkness retreated, yet as the eclipse's shadow passed, a silence bore down. It clawed at the victory, suggesting their quest was not complete. What of those vanished, swallowed by enigmas, surrendering their echoes to an eternity among the Wraithwood's murmurs? The group, bound by a collective resolve, faced an unaddressed mystery: the fate of the long-lost souls they had not yet returned to the light. Their journey had cleansed the land, but could they restore its heart fully if whispers of the vanished remained unanswered? As the celebratory songs of mythical creatures succumbed to the woodland's troubling hush, Dr. Rivera proposed a séance. Together, amid the forest's central sanctum, surrounded by the remnants of supernatural struggle, they lit candles that flickered like the feeble hope of the forgotten. Holding hands, they embarked on a spectral summoning, casting their call deep into the shroud between realms. The spirits, liberated from the inescapable in-between, embraced the light cast by their living counterparts, dissipating into tranquillity. Clara, the woman whose legacy had steered them through shadows, offered a glance that bridled a thousand unspoken gratitudes before stepping through the luminescent threshold. In releasing the ghastly remnants, the Wraithwood exhaled. The land was not only purified of curses; its ethereal inhabitants had found solace, passing through the lanterns' beacon into the dawn beyond. Yet the shadow's omen lingered, an insidious whisper probing the fringes of their consciousness; they were acutely aware that this respite could be temporary. They conferred amongst themselves; their respite might be fleeting. A vigil had to be established -- guarding against the return of darkness, prepared for the eventualities of an inscrutable future. In the newfound silence spoke a tacit pact: they would remain the sentinels of the Wraithwood, the human bulwark against an unassailable dusk. Their departure from the séance's solemnity was a silent testament to their unwavering guardianship. Shadows behind them not omens of threats, but proof of light prevailing and unity strengthened. For in the heart of Wraithwood, amid the echoes of those who had vanished, lay the unshakable truth that light endures, that forgotten whispers find voice, and that even in the darkest of woods, there will always be those who stand firm for the dawn.

Time-Travel Television
Author: Sherry Ginn
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442255773
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Stories of time travel have been part of science fiction since H. G. Wells sent his nameless hero hurtling into Earth’s distant future in The Time Machine. Time travel enables the storyteller to depict alternate realities, bring fictional characters face to face with historical figures, and depict moral and ethical dilemmas in which millions of lives (or the world as we know it) are at stake. From Doctor Who and Quantum Leap to the multiple incarnations of Star Trek, time travel has been a staple of science fiction television for more than fifty years. Time-Travel Television: The Past from the Present, the Future from the Pastsurveys the whole range of time travel stories on the small screen. The essays in this collection explore time travel series both familiar (Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1) and forgotten (The Time Tunnel, Voyagers!), as well as time-travel themed episodes and arcs in series where it is not central, such as Red Dwarf, Lost, and Heroes. Contributors to this volume consider some of the classic themes of time-travel stories: the promise (and peril) of “fixing” the past, the chance to experience (and choose) possible futures, and the potential for small changes to have great effects. Exploring time travel as a teaching tool, as a vehicle for moral lessons, and as a background for high adventure, this book offers new perspectives on many familiar programs and the first serious study of several unjustly neglected ones. Time-Travel Television is essential reading for science fiction scholars and fans, and for anyone interested in the many ways that television brings the fantastic into viewers’ living rooms.

Astral Sciences in Early Imperial China
Author: Daniel Patrick Morgan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110850941X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Challenging monolithic modern narratives about 'Chinese science', Daniel Patrick Morgan examines the astral sciences in China c.221 BCE–750 CE as a study in the disunities of scientific cultures and the narratives by which ancients and moderns alike have fought to instil them with a sense of unity. The book focuses on four unifying 'legends' recounted by contemporary subjects: the first two, redolent of antiquity, are the 'observing of signs' and 'granting of seasons' by ancient sage kings; and the other two, redolent of modernity, involve the pursuit of 'accuracy' and historical 'accumulation' to this end. Juxtaposing legend with the messy realities of practice, Morgan reveals how such narratives were told, imagined, and re-imagined in response to evolving tensions. He argues that, whether or not 'empiricism' and 'progress' are real, we must consider the real effects of such narratives as believed in and acted upon in the history of astronomy in China.
