Spectres, smugglers…and the heist of a lifetime in colonial Hong Kong! Thief she may be, but Molly Dark has rules: she only ever steals to benefit others—never herself.

Book Description
The empire made him a slave. They should have killed him. Saul, a former prince, has been holding onto something lost to many of his fellow slaves: hope and a desire for justice. A fire burns within him, growing brighter each day since the Emperor slaughtered his family, and he knows the time to escape his shackles - and to free his people - is now. He begins his quest to rebuild a world that would allow the Kingdom of Ubrain to rise from the ashes. Saul and his allies plot to steal the crown of Ubrain from the emperor's vault. But their road is not a straight one, and they soon find themselves facing the inquisition, and are caught in the middle of an unseen war as older powers work to twist the world to their own design. Saul has never been one to set easy tasks for himself, but he is determined to break the empire's grip on his people no matter how much blood must be spilled along the way. They should have killed him when they had the chance, for he will not be so lenient.

Pages : 193
Book Description
History has repeated itself and the Dark Ages of man are upon us once again. Several hundred years after the end of the world's second ice-age and the near extinction of the human race, mankind is in a state of rebuilding. The technology that we once took for granted, and believed would usher us into the future, has become nothing more than a myth to a species that is once again on the brink of destruction. War looms on the horizon, a war that has been going on since the dawn of creation. Now it would seem that the final pieces of a dark, menacing plan have been put into play, and mankind's darkest hour is at hand. But all this is irrelevant to one woman. Luna Ayala-Kin, Infantry General of the once prominent Tereye army, has embarked on a murderous quest for revenge after having everything that she once cherished violently stripped away. The loss of her young child has driven her to the point of utter madness, and she has vowed to stop at nothing until her blade is coated in the blood of the one that took her daughter's life. Her three year journey has left nothing but devastation in her wake, and still she has not found the answers that she seeks, answers that could lead her to the kingdom of Golgotha, and her quest's end. With hope and sanity rapidly dwindling, at her most vulnerable state, a dark and magical being from her past has offered her the key to her success, at a price that may be too steep. The temptation will change everything. Will Luna be prepared to sell her soul for revenge, or will she continue on her bloodthirsty path of destruction alone, blind, and in the dark.

Dark Days for White Knights
Author: Dick Jackson
Publisher: Badgley Publishing Company
ISBN: 0615811981
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Dark Days for White Knights is the story of one Veteran's loss of innocence and his sojourn down a lonely corridor...a chronicle of his quest to recover something of what he lost in Vietnam. Combat veterans of every war and from every nation have been scarred by the atrocities of war. However, because of the rotation system implemented during the Vietnam War, the veterans of Vietnam straggled home, one by one, to be scattered across an increasingly hostile America. America seemed as foreign as Vietnam had once been, but these were no longer the boys who had dreamed of serving America. The dreams of many had died in the soul-sucking mud of fetid rice paddies. There are many novels about Vietnam, most of which highlight heroic actions in combat. Heroes are a part of all wars and their stories are exciting and important. Vietnam was no exception. The devotion the warriors shared for one another spawned many heroic actions...but perhaps the important lessons from Vietnam were about personal responsibility, misplaced trust and the ultimate cost of survival. In that light...Dark Days for White Knights is a unique perspective on a still controversial time in American history.

Carter has been kidnapped. Enslaved. But he's determined to fight to the end. Jacob is a pacifist. His family destroyed. He's about to choose the path of violence to reclaim his son. Their world has changed for ever. Between them, they're going to avenge it. Jacob Carnehan has settled down. He's living a comfortable, quiet life, obeying the law and minding his own business while raising his son Carter ... on those occasions when he isn't having to bail him out of one scrape or another. His days of adventure are - thankfully - long behind him. Carter Carnehan is going out of his mind with boredom. He's bored by his humdrum life, frustrated that his father won't live a little, and longs for the bright lights and excitement of anywhere-but-here. He's longing for an opportunity to escape, and test himself against whatever the world has to offer. Carter is going to get his opportunity. He's caught up in a village fight, kidnapped by slavers and, before he knows it, is swept to another land. A lowly slave, surrounded by technology he doesn't understand, his wish has come true: it's him vs. the world. He can try to escape, he can try to lead his fellow slaves, or he can accept the inevitable and try to make the most of the short, brutal existence remaining to him. ... unless Jacob gets to him first and, no matter the odds, he intends to. No one kidnaps his son and gets away with it - and if it come to it, he'll force Kings to help him on his way, he'll fight, steal, blackmail and betray his friends in the name of bringing Carter home. Wars will be started. Empires will fall. And the Carnehan family will be reunited, one way or another ...
