Traitor's Blade
Author: Sebastien de Castell
Publisher: Jo Fletcher Books
ISBN: 1623658101
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
With swashbuckling action that recalls Dumas's Three Musketeers, Sebastien de Castell has created a dynamic new fantasy series. In Traitor's Blade, a disgraced swordsman struggles to redeem himself by protecting a young girl caught in the web of a royal conspiracy. The King is dead, the Greatcoats have been disbanded, and Falcio Val Mond and his fellow magistrates Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as bodyguards for a nobleman who refuses to pay them. Things could be worse, of course. Their employer could be lying dead on the floor while they are forced to watch the killer plant evidence framing them for the murder. Oh wait, that's exactly what's happening. Now a royal conspiracy is about to unfold in the most corrupt city in the world. A carefully orchestrated series of murders that began with the overthrow of an idealistic young king will end with the death of an orphaned girl and the ruin of everything that Falcio, Kest, and Brasti have fought for. But if the trio want to foil the conspiracy, save the girl, and reunite the Greatcoats, they'll have to do it with nothing but the tattered coats on their backs and the swords in their hands, because these days every noble is a tyrant, every knight is a thug, and the only thing you can really trust is a traitor's blade.

Visions of Alterity
Author: Elke D'hoker
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004489614
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Visions of Alterity: Representation in the Works of John Banville offers detailed and original readings of the work of the Irish author John Banville, one of the foremost figures in contemporary European literature. It investigates one of the fundamental concerns of Banville’s novels: mediating the gap between subject and object or self and world in representation. By drawing on the rich history of the problem of representation in literature, philosophy and literary theory, this study provides a thorough insight into the rich philosophical and intertextual dimension of Banville’s fiction. In close textual analyses of Banville’s most important novels, it maps out a thematic development that moves from an interest in the epistemological and aesthetic representation of the world in scientific theories, over a concern with the ethical dimension of representations, to an exploration of self-representation and identity. What remains constant throughout these different perspectives is the disruption of representations by brief but haunting glimpses of otherness. In tracing these different visions of alterity in Banville’s solipsistic literary world, this study offers a better understanding of his insistent and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human.

Pages : 801
Book Description
Oron didn’t want to rule Sehaann. But now he’s leading his nation to war for its very existence. He fights for his people’s safety, for a peaceful future, for freedom from the tyranny trying to eliminate him. Heritage has plagued his life and now that legacy hangs on the edge of oblivion. No matter how he got here, he can’t let it fall. Because failure means the end of everything he loves. Caught between obligation and duty, treachery and redemption, Sanjay is powerless to stop the machinations dragging him into war on the wrong side of the battlefield. He can’t fathom opposing his knightly brethren, but when he’s forced to face Oron from the enemy lines, all of his worst nightmares suddenly become reality. Destroy Oron and the knights of Sehaann, or sacrifice all he holds dear. Either choice means Sanjay loses. The persistent rage simmering in Kyren’s soul is now a demon threatening to consume him. Everywhere he turns, the consequences of his failure torment and remind him of how unworthy he is of his elite status. He’s a liability to those he’s sworn to protect and jeopardizes Oron’s battle plans at the worst possible moment. If he can’t control his seething vengeance, he’ll lose much more than his position. He’ll take the world down with him. All William wants is to protect his family. The ones he loves are worth everything to him so he extends his power beyond known limits to help Oron and his army succeed. What he achieves is beyond anyone’s expectation, but it’s more than even an immortal winged warrior can withstand. With godlike energy at his fingertips, he can alter reality to his whim. If he doesn’t obliterate it first. Overwhelmed and under siege, Taj can barely provide for his own community when refugees start arriving from around the country. As casualties mount, his leadership and therapeutic skills are stretched to the brink. But nothing prepares him for the horror of battle, where seconds mean the difference between life and death. Not even a gifted healer can save everyone. And sometimes, seconds are a luxury that no one can afford. In the ultimate battle for Sehaann’s survival, honor will be tested, loyalty will be shattered, sacrifices will be made, and no one will emerge unscathed. Everyone’s spent a lifetime giving all they have to fight for what they believe in. Now is when they find out if it’s enough. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.
