Book Description
Beset by invasion from the east, the empire of Lautun must try to settle its own religious differences, whilst also throwing back the barbarian hordes before they reach the strategic city of Arrandin. The mage councillor Rhysana and her allies are fighting a battle for the elder gods, the Aeshta, against the Emperor Rhydden and the servants of the new deities, the Vashtar. The fanatics who oppose her can see only one goal - complete victory for their immortal masters. And so the war becomes a deadly dance of death throughout the empire, as the southern warlords smell out rich pickings and the eastern wizards test the Lautun magi's powers. Marcus Herniman has written a debut novel in which the world feels, smells, and looks as tangible as our own. His characters leap off the page, and has immediately become a name to search out on the world's bookshelves.

Book Description
"The turn of the third century CE—known as the Jian’an era or Three Kingdoms period—holds double significance for the Chinese cultural tradition. Its writings laid the foundation of classical poetry and literary criticism. Its historical personages and events have also inspired works of poetry, fiction, drama, film, and art throughout Chinese history, including Internet fantasy literature today. There is a vast body of secondary literature on these two subjects individually, but very little on their interface.The image of the Jian’an era, with its feasting, drinking, heroism, and literary panache, as well as intense male friendship, was to return time and again in the romanticized narrative of the Three Kingdoms. How did Jian’an bifurcate into two distinct nostalgias, one of which was the first paradigmatic embodiment of wen (literary graces, cultural patterning), and the other of wu (heroic martial virtue)? How did these largely segregated nostalgias negotiate with one another? And how is the predominantly male world of the Three Kingdoms appropriated by young women in contemporary China? The Halberd at Red Cliff investigates how these associations were closely related in their complex origins and then came to be divergent in their later metamorphoses."

With the fast growth of Chinese economy, the number of people learning Chinese language is increasing rapidly throughout the world. A Handbook for Analyzing Chinese Characters is intended to help those studying Chinese as a second language. It includes 5073 most frequently used Chinese characters in reading and writing. To help learners identify the most important to the least important characters, the 5073 characters are grouped into five different usage levels. Besides, they are formed with pictographic characters, self-indicative characters, compound ideographic characters and radical phonetic characters according to their structures. Each character is described with the property of the character and clarified by an illustrative sentence.Zhifang Ren is a professor of English at China Medical University. He has previously written a book titled A Handbook of Analyzing English Vocabulary published in China. This is his second literary endeavor involving ten years of painstaking research and compilation.
