Book Description
For so many mortals, life is but a mundane existence. They glide through it like zombies, wishing the world was full of magic and mystery but believing in their hearts that it is not. If only they knew how their senses deceive. For all around them, celestial forces battle one another. The sons of light and the sons of darkness engage in an endless struggle over their everlasting souls, and more nefarious creations lie in wait to devour all that is good in the world. Children of Fire is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) that lets you explore this ethereal world. In it, the players create angels who battle over the souls of the living. You'll pit yourself against demons, sorcerers, and other unholy emanations. But saving mankind is not always about direct conflict. Often these games center around difficult moral dilemmas, and the characters are often forced to confront their own frailties and imperfections. Children of Fire is a story-focused, combat-light game where players are angels battling for human souls, straining the shackles of predetermination, and struggling with their own immortality. Originally published over a decade ago as a popular web site, and later crowd-funded via Kickstarter.com, this all new edition features revised rules and 112 pages of stunning, full-color art. The book includes both the Children of Fire core game and the Children of Clay expansion, which provides rules for creating and playing mortal PCs.

The Ice Dragon
Author: George R. R. Martin
Publisher: Tor Teen
ISBN: 1466885785
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The Ice Dragon is an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice for young readers and adults by the wildly popular author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Song of Ice and Fire series, George R.R. Martin. Lavish illustrations by acclaimed artist Luis Royo enrich this captivating and heartwarming story of a young girl and her dragon. In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember. Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction. This new edition of The Ice Dragon is sure to become a collector's item for fans of HBO's megahit Game of Thrones. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A “searing debut” about three young women coming of age, experiencing “the absurdities of life and love on the precipice of violence” (Vogue) Yael, Avishag, and Lea grow up together in a tiny, dusty Israeli village, attending a high school made up of caravan classrooms, passing notes to each other to alleviate the universal boredom of teenage life. When they are conscripted into the army, their lives change in unpredictable ways, influencing the women they become and the friendship that they struggle to sustain. Yael trains marksmen and flirts with boys. Avishag stands guard, watching refugees throw themselves at barbed-wire fences. Lea, posted at a checkpoint, imagines the stories behind the familiar faces that pass by her day after day. They gossip about boys and whisper of an ever more violent world just beyond view. They drill, constantly, for a moment that may never come. They live inside that single, intense second just before danger erupts. In a relentlessly energetic and arresting voice marked by humor and fierce intelligence, Shani Boianjiu, winner of the National Book Foundation’s “5 Under 35,” creates an unforgettably intense world, capturing that unique time in a young woman's life when a single moment can change everything.
