Pages : 71
Book Description
I'm Amara, and let me be clear: I never wanted to be Queen. I was just a baker's daughter, living a quiet life, when everything was turned upside down. The previous King's blunders and some absurd prophecy shoved me into a role I never asked for. I didn't fight for the throne—I was thrown into it because of other people's mistakes. Imagine being pulled from a simple life, having to leave your family behind, and suddenly being thrust into a kingdom's chaos. That was my reality. I had to wrestle for my place among nobles who saw me as nothing more than a commoner. Every step I took was a struggle to be acknowledged, not as a hero, but as someone who had no choice but to take on a role that should never have been mine. So here I am, trying to navigate a kingdom that doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for me. If you're looking for a tale of royal glory and epic heroics, you won't find that here. What you'll find is the story of a girl who was thrown to the wolves and had to figure out how to survive in a world that had no place for her.

Languages : en
Pages : 658
Book Description
In a realm woven with enchantment, where mystical beings and ethereal creatures reside, a tale of love unfolds, defying the boundaries of fate. It is a story of forbidden passion, where the hearts of Elves and Huldras intertwine against all odds. Within this magical tapestry, a human named Bjorn finds himself drawn into a quest of paramount importance. The very essence of the first Huldra queen's healing blood has become coveted, and Bjorn's courage sets him on a path fraught with danger and discovery. Amidst jubilant celebrations and simmering conflicts, an undeniable bond forms between Prince Brandor, the sovereign of the Elven realm, and Eowena, a captivating figure whose existence is forbidden to him. Their love is a delicate flame, yearning to blaze freely, yet threatened by the constraints of their disparate worlds. As kingdoms clash and the tides of war surge, unexpected alliances are forged, transcending ancient animosities. Through the trials of battle, a wounded princess unravels a shocking revelation that will forever alter the course of destiny. In this captivating saga, forbidden love unfurls its petals, revealing the raw power of emotions that defy all reason. As the secrets of the past unravel and the truths of the present come to light, readers are drawn into a fantastical world that resonates with their deepest desires. Within these pages, love is tested, sacrifices are made, and the indomitable power of bloodlines echoes through every enchanting chapter. It is a tale that will enrapture the hearts of readers, leaving an indelible mark, and reminding us of the profound magic that lies within our own souls. This is the continuance of my film called "Huldra and Photographer" Which I made back in 2019. Currently, I have a feature film in pre-production called "Elf and Huldra" inspired by this story.

Neo-Gothic Narratives
Author: Sarah E. Maier
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1785272195
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Neo-Gothic Narratives defines and theorises what, exactly, qualifies as such a text, what mobilises the employment of the Gothic to speak to our own times, whether nostalgia plays a role and whether there is room for humour besides the sobriety and horror in these narratives across various media. What attracts us to the Gothic that makes us want to resurrect, reinvent, echo it? Why do we let the Gothic redefine us? Why do we let it haunt us? Does it speak to us through intertexuality, self-reflectivity, metafiction, immersion, affect? Are we reclaiming the history of women and other subalterns in the Gothic that had been denied in other forms of history? Are we revisiting the trauma of English colonisation and seeking national identity? Or are we simply tourists who enjoy cruising through the otherworld? The essays in this volume investigate both the readerly experience of Neo-Gothic narratives as well as their writerly pastiche.

The City and the Wilderness
Author: Arash Khazeni

ISBN: 0520964268
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The City and the Wilderness recounts the journeys and microhistories of Indo-Persian travelers across the Indian Ocean and their encounters with the Burmese Kingdom and its littoral at the turn of the nineteenth century. As Mughal sovereignty waned under British colonial rule, Indo-Persian travelers and intermediaries linked to the East India Company explored and surveyed the Burmese Empire, inscribing it as a forest landscape and Buddhist kingdom at the crossroads of South and Southeast Asia. Based on colonial Persian travel books and narratives in which Indo-Persian knowledge and perceptions of the wondrous edges of the Indian Ocean merged with Orientalist pursuits, The City and the Wilderness uncovers fading histories of inter-Asian crossings and exchanges at the ends of the Mughal world.

Unplugging Popular Culture
Author: K. Shannon Howard
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429960522
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Unplugging Popular Culture showcases youth and young adult characters from film and television who defy the stereotype of the "digital native" who acts as an unquestioning devotee to screened technologies like the smartphone. In this study, unplugged tools, or non-digital tools, do not necessitate a ban on technology or a refusal to acknowledge its affordances but work instead to highlight the ability of fictional characters to move from high tech settings to low tech ones. By repurposing everyday materials, characters model the process of reusing and upcycling existing materials in innovative ways. In studying examples such as Pitch Perfect, Supernatural, Stranger Things, and Get Out, the book aims to make theories surrounding materiality apparent within popular culture and to help today’s readers reconsider stereotypes of the young people they encounter on a daily basis.
