Book Description
"You are not a hero. You are a soldier. What you do...it's not noble. It's your duty." These were the words that Commander Kyle Griffin lived by. For 25 years, he played the part. He was a good soldier. He was the ultimate soldier. A mutant, born of royal blood, gifted with the cosmic power of the Celestial Spark, he was everything the Dominion Army had hoped for. He brought them countless victories, leading legions of their ferocious army against the meager rebellion known as the Splinter. He and his team of elite Infinity Force operatives had the war all but won. Until he finally met an adversary that he couldn't defeat: the truth. Stripped of his rank and title and cast out of the only life he's ever known, he'll travel across the galaxy to find new allies to support his obsession with winning the war...and provide him with a singular opportunity for the revenge that his rage demands. Will he be strong enough to win the fight of his life? He'll soon find out.

Book Description
As ancient immortals are left reeling, a modern Athena and Hermes search the world for answers in Mortal Gods, the second Goddess War novel by Kendare Blake, acclaimed author of Anna Dressed in Blood. Ares, god of war, is leading the other dying gods into battle. Which is just fine with Athena. She's ready to wage a war of her own, and she's never liked him anyway. If Athena is lucky, the winning gods will have their immortality restored. If not, at least she'll have killed the bloody lot of them, and she and Hermes can die in peace. Cassandra Weaver is a weapon of fate. The girl who kills gods. But all she wants is for the god she loved and lost to return to life. If she can't have that, then the other gods will burn, starting with his murderer, Aphrodite. The alliance between Cassandra and Athena is fragile. Cassandra suspects Athena lacks the will to truly kill her own family. And Athena fears that Cassandra's hate will get them all killed. The war takes them across the globe, searching for lost gods, old enemies, and Achilles, the greatest warrior the world has ever seen. As the struggle escalates, Athena and Cassandra must find a way to work together. Because if they can't, fates far worse than death await.

ISBN: 1316996387

Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
The Mortal God is a study in intellectual history which uncovers how actors in colonial India imagined various figures of human, divine, and messianic rulers to battle over the nature and locus of sovereignty. It studies British and Indian political-intellectual elites as well as South Asian peasant activists, giving particular attention to Bengal, including the associated princely states of Cooch Behar and Tripura. Global intellectual history approaches are deployed to place India within wider trajectories of royal nationhood that unfolded across contemporaneous Europe and Asia. The book intervenes within theoretical debates about sovereignty and political theology, and offers novel arguments about decolonizing and subalternizing sovereignty.

Book Description
'The Mortal God' Heart of History. Series Book I. The Heart of History Series is a collection of books focusing on TRUE history. The series is intended to share the power and wanes of those who once lived. They say it is the conquerors who write history, yet thankfully there is information to combat it. A thorough investigation is the key to the series, and its findings, whether pleasant or not, are as honest and as true as possible. Why romanticize the past when real history is more interesting. The nature of the series is simple, getting to the heart of the stories; and finding every slight of information and documentation to deliver it within a vision that is understandable and educational. Book I, 'The Mortal God, ' is about a most significant man to history. Some would call him a tyrant, some a savior. Many people have written about him, yet rarely any have got it right. This NEW book shows who he really was. He was vulnerable, courageous, loving, and quick tempered, and passionate with everything he did with people or his enemies. He would always show his true educated self in a way that was quite extraordinary and unique.. He was a visionary, artist, and also very brutal. His tenacity was unmatched even by some of the greatest people in history. This book shows not only his personal life but those who he influenced too. He conquered the known world within a very short time, quite a feat within any time frame. He lived to excess and died by it. He was Alexander the Great.

Antigoddess

Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The Goddess War begins in Antigoddess, the first installment of the new series by acclaimed author of Anna Dressed in Blood, Kendare Blake. Old Gods never die... Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health. Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god. These days, Cassandra doesn't involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn't even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning. Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don't just flicker out. Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath. The Goddess War is about to begin. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
