Book Description
The breathtaking Dark-Hunters saga continues with Dragonsworn—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon There is nothing in the universe the cursed dragon, Falcyn, hates more than humanity . . . except Greek humans. In a war he wanted no part of, they systematically destroyed everything he’d ever cared for. Now he waits for the day when evolution will finally rid him of the human vermin. Medea was born the granddaughter of the Greek god Apollo, and among the first of his people that he cursed to die. But she will not let anyone rule her life. Not even her notorious grandfather. And when Apollo sends a new plague to destroy what remains of her people, she refuses to stand by and watch him take everything she loves from her again. This time, she knows of a secret weapon that can stop the ancient god and his army of demons. Once and for all. However, said device is in the hands of a dragon who wants nothing to do with politics, the gods, humanity, demons or Apollites. And especially not her. He is the immovable object. She is the unstoppable force . . . When Apollo makes a strategic move that backfires, he forces Falcyn back into play. Now Medea either has the weapon she needs to save her people, or she’s unleashed total Armageddon. If she can’t find some way to control the dragon before it’s too late, Falcyn will be an even worse plague on the world than the one Apollo has set loose. But how can anyone control a demonic dragon whose sole birthright is world annihilation?

Guitar Talk
Author: Joel Harrison
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 1949597148
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Secrets of master guitarists, revealed in conversation. Guitar Talk offers interviews with many of the most creative guitarists of our time. This new book presents these conversations, between Joel Harrison and Nels Cline, Pat Metheny, Fred Frith, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gregory Jackson, Ben Monder, Anthony Pirog, Henry Kaiser, Mike and Leni Stern, Vernon Reid, Mary Halvorson, Nguyên Le, Rez Abbasi, Ava Mendoza, Liberty Ellman, Brandon Ross, Wayne Krantz, Dave Fiuczynski, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Miles Okazaki, Sheryl Bailey, Rafiq Bhatia, and Ralph Towner—twenty-seven great guitarists in all. An enormous range of approaches and sounds exist in the modern guitar. The instrument can howl, scrape, scratch, scream, sing, pluck, and soothe. What stands out in this book is not so much the instrument itself, rather the wonderful and idiosyncratic personalities of these bold souls, their sometimes wild, often zigzagging, and ultimately profound journeys toward beauty, meaning, and excellence in their work. We find out that jazz icon Bill Frisell won a high school band contest playing R&B tunes, beating out future members of Earth Wind and Fire. We learn which of Nels Cline's compositions he wishes to have played at his funeral. Michael Gregory Jackson recounts painful episodes of racism as he stretched between the chasm of avant jazz, rock, and blues in the 1980s. Many more revelations, amusements, and philosophies abound.

Book Description
Angel’s aren’t supposed to wield emotion … … and they’re definitely not supposed to fall in love. As commander of Heaven’s elite forces, Archangel Zandraziel learned to keep his emotions hidden. But he couldn’t help questioning some of the Council’s actions, thus earning himself the task of patrolling the fallen in the fifty-two realms. His job? Eliminate any who join Satan and Lucifer in darkness. It wouldn’t be easy, but Zandraziel was a warrior, so how hard could it be? To live surrounded by emotional beings was much harder than he expected, and eventually he became Zander, a male with a mate and family. Then tragedy struck, leaving him devastated and vowing to protect those he has left—his children. Zander’s goal for the next fourteen years is to shield them from their enemy. Until he meets his sexy neighbor. Zander resists the instant attraction. Chloe’s human and his world is dangerous—a new foe has arisen. But as he prepares for this latest threat, it soon becomes clear that there may be more to Chloe than he first believed. Yet if he accepts what's between them, he could lose her, and if he doesn’t, he could lose everything he holds dear. Dare he take the leap? Get it now and join Zander and his quirky family in this dark, magical romance full of twists and turns that'll leave you craving more. *Can be read as a standalone. If you like dark, paranormal fantasy romance filled with Angels, Fallen, dragons, wolves, vampires, and crazy deranged villains, with deep complex worlds similar to those of Larissa Ione's Demonica & Lords of Deliverance, J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Faith Hunter, and Patricia Briggs then you'll love the Dracones. "...all the drama of Heaven and Hell and the sweet second chances. This series keeps getting better and better. If you like epic story-telling, this series is for you. The author writes such compelling stories you get involved in the characters and their lives....This book is exceptional." "I LOVE this series. Dragons, Archangels, good guys, bad guys and the ones they love... all play a role in making this series a spectacular read. The world building is addictively familiar, but not. The characters are well thought out, developed and show an amazing propensity to evolve. Ms. Marean is extremely skilled at weaving an emotional rollercoaster ride of a story. I laughed (a lot!), cried (get a box of tissues ready!), cheered, hissed, wanted to reach in an shake a couple of characters and fell in love over and over. This book contains enough backstory and focused resolution to be read as stand alone, but why!?! You're going to want to read this series from start to finish. I devoured this book and wanted more. There is a sign of a great book... you get to the last page and scream "Noooooooooooo! I want more!" If you love reading JR Ward, Patricia Briggs, Gena Showalter or Deborah Cooke, you need to add Sheri-Lynn Marean to your "Next to be loved list."
