Book Description
Elijah's lips touched the sensitive skin of Artemis' neck. Artemis was supposed to be afraid of this man. As she had been afraid of her since she saw him for the first time in that cemetery. But for some reason, he didn't terrify her at that moment. "Say it out loud! I want to hear you say that. Say it, babygirl. That you are mine." Elijah demanded. Artemis flinched but not because of his demanding tone. She flinched in pleasure as one of Elijah's hands rubbed against Artemis' inner thigh. "I am yours, my Alpha!" Artemis moaned loudly as she threw her head back in pleasure. With a satisfied smirk on his face, Elijah pecked her cheek as a reward. --------------------------------------------------------- Artemis was a human, living her life at the fullest. She was unaware of the world that awakens at night. Until one night, she found herself staring in the red glowing eyes of a big black wolf who was ready to tear her apart. Alpha Elijah, the werewolf Alpha who strictly followed the rules he had made. A ruthless and merciless alpha who never once thought about having a woman beside him. Until he set his eyes on a pure beauty that took his breath away. Two people, totally different from each other. Will they ever be able to accept each other? * This is Book 1 of the howler werewolf series

Confronted with her own demise, Martha Rutledge (Avia) must reveal to her granddaughter how small and interconnected the world is, and what their responsibility is in preserving it. Avia spirits Tallis to the site of Azilum-colonial America's refuge for French Royalists. There, she tells the story of the second son of Marie Antoinette, Louis-Charles XVII. Smuggled from Temple Prison in Paris to the asylum along the Susquehanna River, he is raised by Jesuits along "The Great Warrior Path" to the Carolina Lowcountry. Grown, Charlie becomes an esteemed associate of the elite in Philadelphia when it is the site of America's capitol. Wynds Over Wylusing is Charlie's story. In 2001, scientific advances enable mtDNA testing to prove the remains in the Bourbon burial chapel to be those of Marie Antoinette's son. However, only the Rutledges have the final key to the puzzle and know the truth of the American connection to Louis-Charles XVII, which they are challenged to protect. The rest of the world continues to misrepresent Charlie's life based on a myriad of legends and false claims about the Bourbon heir. The delightful personalities in Wynds Over Wylusing will jump to life for readers amid panoramic scenery and revolutionary historical connections of early eastern United States and France from 1795 until the present and stay with them long after they have put the book down.

Pages : 12917
Book Description
The 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection: 170+ Space Adventures, Dystopian Novels & Lost World Classics' stands as a testament to the vast and varied universe of science fiction, encapsulating the ingenuity and diversity of thought from the 19th to the early 20th centuries.

Wells and George Orwell offering a broad view of the thematic concerns and stylistic evolutions within the genre. Notably, it includes landmark pieces that have defined and expanded the boundaries of speculative fiction, exploring themes of dystopia, utopia, cosmic horror, and science as both salvation and doom, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the genre's development and its reflection of societal anxieties and aspirations. The contributing authors and editors, each distinguished by their own unique contributions to literature and thought, bring a rich tapestry of background, perspective, and cultural context to the anthology. From the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley, whose 'Frankenstein' laid the groundwork for scientific fiction as a critical mirror to society, to the sophisticated social critiques embedded in the works of Aldous Huxley and Sinclair Lewis, the collection is a convergence of voices that have not only defined but also challenged their contemporary sociopolitical paradigms. By aligning with various historical, cultural, and literary movements, these authors collectively amplify the anthology's exploration of human nature, progress, and the infinitely expanding boundaries of the unknown. 'Readers seeking not just entertainment but also a deep cultural and philosophical engagement with science fiction as a genre will find the 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection' an invaluable resource.
