As we journey to the Moxcedean Galaxy, over one hundred thousand years ago, to the planet Zacterron. Our tail begins in the fishing town, Omakohak.

Pages : 383
Book Description
Lucius Shepard is a grand master of dark fantasy, famed for his baroque yet utterly contemporary visions of existential subversion and hallucinatory collapse. In Dagger Key, his fifth major story collection, Shepard confronts hard-bitten loners and self-deceiving operators with the shadowy emptiness within themselves and the insinuating darkness without, to ends sardonic and terrifying. The stories in this book, including six novellas, are: "Stars Seen Through Stone" - in a small Pennsylvania town, mediocrity suddenly blossoms into genius; but at what terrible cost? "Emerald Street Expansions" - in near-future Seattle, echoes of the life of a medieval French poet hint at either reincarnation or a dire conspiracy. "Limbo" - a retired criminal on the run from the Mafia encounters ghosts, and much worse, on the shores of a haunted lake. "Liar's House" - in the grip of the legendary dragon Griaule, destiny is a treacherous and transformative thing. "Dead Monty" - a small-time New Orleans criminal ventures outside his proper territory, and poker and voudoun conspire to bring him down. "Dinner at Baldassaro's" - a gang of immortals debates the future in an Italian resort, only for events to outrun any of their expectations. "Abimagique" - a glib college loser falls in love with a witch, becoming an involuntary part of a world-saving - or world-destroying - magical ritual. "The Lepidopertrist" - a small boy on a Caribbean island witnesses the creation of preternatural beings by a Yankee wizard... "Dagger Key" - off the coast of Belize, the ghost of a famous pirate seems to control a spiral of murder and intrigue; or is someone else responsible?

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
The original Quest of the Seven Keys, book 1 and 2 of the Cole Twins Saga, was the first translated work commissioned by the Lemurian Masters of the University. For readers who enjoy a longer read, the original full version is made available. An orphaned girl on a quest for seven mystical keys, each representing one of the great powers of true magic. As she journeys through a world rich with mystery, beauty, horror, and legend, a world on the verge of destruction, her mind, body, and spirit are tested. Helped and hindered along her journey by enchanted beings and demons, Aunan faces obstacles at every turn in her quest for the magical keys. Pursued by Akvan trackers, demons of Persian mythology, it is the determination and virtue of Aunan, as she enters into realms of illusion, reincarnation, and spirituality, which brings hope to the peoples of Azmerith that the magical keys will be found, united, and their magic renewed. Yet finding the keys and saving Lemuria from the dreaded High Lord isn’t the only destiny of Aunan. Within her soul lies a mission from her previous incarnation, that of Karolyn Cole, thirteen-year-old Catholic school brainy girl who drew spooky gothic drawings of dragons and mystical landscapes. As Aunan travels, her awareness grows as she gradually discovers her true destiny, and the history of her soul becomes clear. It is through the merging of the life of Aunan with her past life as Karolyn Cole of Earth that the quest is fulfilled, and her true mission is reborn.

The Robber Girl
Author: Franny Billingsley
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536206938
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Part literary mystery, part magical tour de force—an incantatory novel of fierce beauty, lyricism, and originality from a National Book Award Finalist A brilliant puzzle of a book from the author of Chime and The Folk Keeper plunges us into the vulnerable psyche of one of the most memorable unreliable narrators to grace the page in decades. The Robber Girl has a good dagger. Its voice in her head is as sharp as its two edges that taper down to a point. Today, the Robber Girl and her dagger will ride with Gentleman Jack into the Indigo Heart to claim the gold that’s rightfully his. But instead of gold, the Robber Girl finds a dollhouse cottage with doorknobs the size of apple seeds. She finds two dolls who give her three tasks, even though she knows that three is too many tasks. The right number of tasks is two, like Grandmother gave to Gentleman Jack: Fetch unto me the mountain’s gold, to build our city fair. Fetch unto me the wingless bird, and I shall make you my heir. The Robber Girl finds what might be a home, but to fight is easier than to trust when you’re a mystery even to yourself and you’re torn between loyalty and love. The Robber Girl is at once achingly real—wise to the nuances of trauma—and loaded with magic, action, and intrigue. Every sentence shines, sharp as a blade, in a beautifully crafted novel about memory, identity, and the power of language to heal and reconstruct our lives.
