Book Description
"A few months ago I couldn't pay my electric bill. They cut my power. Anyway, it was cold, and I had a box of Pop-Tarts in the cabinet. It was the only food I had, and I figured I could use the sword to power my toaster. I hooked my jumper cables up to the sword and toaster, and then I put a little will into the sword. My toaster spat white fire, my Pop-Tarts were vaporized, and I learned that science and religion don't mix." "You used a holy relic, a conduit of mystical power, to run a toaster?" Eden asked. "I really wanted Pop-Tarts," I said. "God can't be real. At least not your god. What god would put that kind of power into the hands of an idiot!" In Baltimore, young people attending illegal raves are being killed by the dozens. The police are baffled by the dismembered bodies, barrels of human blood, and missing persons reports that are piling up. Magical beings are walking the streets, and there is a sorcerer plotting to unleash hell on earth. With Baltimore about to become a playground for demons, the mundane and magical communities turn to the one man in the city sworn to defend them. Michael White isn't the hero you deserve, need, or want, but he is the one willing to work on holidays and weekends. Armed with a magical sword that works when it feels like it, a desert eagle-because he can't hit a target-and a network of friends better suited for the job, can Michael Franklin White prevent an evil wizard from opening a portal to Hell in his city?

Pages : 383
Book Description
For countless centuries, I've been the assassin for the infamous Merlin, even though the woman who birthed me sits at the right hand of our enemy, Morgen le Fey. Now both my mother and Morgen have decided that it's time I take my place on their side of this conflict. Normally, telling them no wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that the good guys I protect think that I'm an even worse demon than the ones we fight. Hmm, maybe they're right. I have to say that I do enjoy maiming anyone who gets in my way. At least until my mother gives me a simple choice: join Morgen's Circle of the Damned or see an innocent woman die. I'm all for saving the innocent, but Merewyn isn't as innocent as she seems. And she's none too fond of the fact that her fate is in my dubious hands. Personally I'm all for taking the easy way out, but leaving her to Morgen is rough, even for me. Now the only way to save both our lives is to face the evilest forces ever known—my mother and Morgen. And two people who know nothing of trust must learn to rely on each other or die: provided we don't kill each other first.

Office of Innocence
Author: Thomas Keneally
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1400079063
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Marshalling the vast powers of narrative and historical re-creation that he brought to his international bestseller Schindler’s List, Thomas Keneally has created a moving and provocative novel about a headstrong young Catholic priest in World War II Australia. As Sydney braces itself for a Japanese invasion, Father Frank Darragh finds his pastoral duties becoming increasingly challenging. How should he counsel an AWOL black American soldier who may face death for his involvement with a white woman? And what should he say to another woman—the distressingly beguiling Kate Heggarty—who impresses him with her virtue even as she edges toward sin? When Kate is found murdered, Darragh falls under suspicion. And even if the police clear him, his superiors—and his own conscience—may not. Office of Innocence is a book that’s impossible to put down, dense with moral complexity and alive with period detail.

Book Description
To open up a novel by Bertrice Small is to surrender to the deepest longings of the heart. In her sensational bestsellers, she sweeps us to the far corners of the globe and into the most sensual places of desire. In The Innocent, she takes us to the wild Welsh borderlands of England, where a young beauty ready to embrace her religious vows becomes the pawn of desperate men. . . . Deceptively fragile-looking, Eleanore of Ashlin had promised her life to God . . . until fate intervened. With her brother's untimely death, Eleanore—known as Elf to those who love her—becomes the heiress of an estate vital to England's defenses. She is ordered by royal command to wed one of the king's knights rather than take her final vows. With resistant heart, but ever obedient to King Stephen's will, she complies. Ranulf de Glandeville is all too aware that his innocent bride wants no man; yet his patience, gentle hand, and growing love for his spirited young wife soon awaken Eleanore to passions she never knew, or desired . . . until now. But their love is not secure from the wicked schemes of an evil woman who hates Eleanore with all her black heart—and she will seek to destroy the innocent in a depraved plot that will put Eleanore's life in jeopardy and her faith in love to its greatest test. . . .
