Book Description
Ripped from his quiet life as a literary editor in London in 1947, Brian Renwick wakes up in a mysterious subterranean labyrinth made of iron. There, he finds himself forced into servitude by his captor, a powerful and enigmatic man who calls himself Uncle. Along with 111 other abductees, Brian now faces an unending regimen of grueling labor, physical training, and intense psychological audiences with his new self-proclaimed king.At first the desolation and brutality of the Iron Kingdom drive Brian to seek his freedom at any cost. He is used to solving problems, after all, and there's no reason this situation can't be analyzed and solved, just like the plots and predicaments of a novel. If there's a way in, there must be a way out. But, slowly, he discovers the only way to escape is to go deeper.

Book Description
Lewis Bokurtz is not saving the world. This isn’t that kind of story. His parents don’t keep him in a cupboard under the stairs. His teacher doesn’t lock him in a closet filled with broken glass. His friends have never treated him with disdain due to his expression of any unique supernatural powers. He desperately wishes they would. A thoughtful young boy yearns for adventure, like so many he has lived between the covers of his favorite books. When the discovery of a rusted iron coin hidden in the depths of a pond leads him to the towering black gates of the Iron Circus, he finds everything he ever wanted waiting just for him beneath the monolithic reaches of its imposing iron Big Top. But everything at the Iron Circus is not as it seems: the performers are all busy preparing for their spectacular upcoming show, almost too keen for Lewis’s help. Meanwhile, the sinister Ringmaster lurks in the shadows, his hollow smile a mask for sabotage and subterfuge. Can Lewis triumph over every challenge, ensure the show goes on, and live the adventure he’s always dreamed of? Or is this just not that kind of story?

Book Description
The present volume insists on the policies derived from the social ideas generated by myths, the updating of myths as an arsenal of social pedagogy, on the ethnic condition of the relevance of myths, but also on the resumption by mass media of the pejorative sense of the myth. This volume is part of the scientific series “Mythology and Folklore”.

Book Description
Tattoos with hearts, minds, and dreams. Created to be the armor that protects my body, these obsidian shadows come alive at night—demons made flesh. After the Aetar nearly kill Maxine’s unborn child, and a betrayal within her own ranks leaves Maxine’s husband, Grant, poisoned and dying, Maxine is forced to attack a race of beings that possesses almost unlimited power. Doing so will require she make a deal with the devil—the devil that lives inside her—risking both her sanity and her soul as she slowly transforms into something more than human. But even that might not be enough to save Grant, because the very thing that Maxine is becoming is destined to destroy the world.
