Book Description
Can a powerless witch find happiness with an arrogant, impatient dragon? If the dragon has his way, she sure as hell will. Book 2 in the award-winning Dragon Kin series! Talaith's life has never been easy. A goddess has forced her into servitude. Her husband despises her. And all those in her tiny village fear her. But just when she doesn't think her life can get any worse, she's pulled from her bed one morning to be burned at the stake for being a witch. What she never counted on was a terrifying silver dragon deciding to rescue her. Briec the Mighty didn't really know what to do with a human female. Especially this one. Chatty and a bit of a complainer, he doesn't understand why she can't simply admit to herself that she wants him. Who wouldn't? He was Briec the Mighty after all. Females fought to spend the night in his arms. But this one tiny woman with her many secrets and her annoying habit of referring to him as "arrogant" has turned his simple dragon life upside down. WARNING: This story contains explicit monogamous sex and graphic violence!

Pages : 255
Book Description
Star Wars begins with its famous title sequence, setting the story in the ancient past of a remote galaxy. Yet the phenomenal success of the film, the franchise, and its "expanded universe" is based upon its reflection of historical and cultural milieus here on modern-day Earth. This collection of new essays examine various ways in which George Lucas's saga touches upon contemporary social and political issues. Topics include the impact of the film's score on musical genres, feminism and NASA, the epic mimicry of Western-African and Bedouin cultural motifs, gender identity construction, Cold War narratives in radio and national mythology, and fan interpretations of authorship and authenticity.

About a Dragon
Author: G.A. Aiken
Publisher: Zebra Books
ISBN: 1420144804
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author delivers “a welcome high fantasy . . . should definitely please fans of sexy shape-shifters and epic sagas” (Booklist). For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by—wait for it—a silver-maned dragon. Existence as a hated outcast is nothing new for a woman with such powerful secrets. The dragon, though? A tad unusual. This one has a human form to die for—and knows it. According to dragon law, Talaith is now his property, for pleasure . . . or otherwise. But if Lord Arrogance thinks she’s the kind of damsel to acquiesce without a word, he’s in for a surprise . . . Is the woman never silent? Briec the Mighty knew the moment he laid eyes on Talaith that she would be his, but he’d counted on tongue-lashings of an altogether different sort. It’s embarrassing, really, that it isn’t this outspoken female’s magicks that have the realm’s greatest dragon in her thrall. No, Briec has been spellbound by something altogether different—and if he doesn’t tread carefully, what he doesn't know about human women could well be the undoing of his entire race . . . Praise for the Dragon Kin Series “Aiken’s patented mix of bloodthirsty action, crazy scenarios and hilarious dialogue have made this series a truly unique pleasure.”—RT Book Reviews (4½ Stars) “A chest thumping, mead-hall rocking, enemy slaying brawl of a good book.”—All Things Urban Fantasy “Laugh-out-loud funny—I loved it!”—Thea Harrison, New York Times bestselling author

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
A charming gangster, a rebellious soul, and a world full of secrets. Mira wasn’t supposed to die at thirty-three. She wasn’t supposed to get thrown into another world, either – one where her earthly memories are judged to decide if she’s worthy of returning to her old life – but she has a plan. There are rules. No magic, and no fraternizing with the handsome gangster who took particular interest in her. No politics. Better yet, no friends, in case things go wrong and someone gets sent to the island swarming with dragons. It’s not long before Mira discovers she’s not the only one torn between worlds. Reunited with her best friend and running from a relentless enemy, Mira decides the rules aren't going to work. A delightful, magical page-turner from start to finish, The Magnificent Death of Mira Meadows is a remarkable story about the magic that can happen when life – and death – don’t go as planned.
