The Immortal Class
Author: Travis Hugh Culley
Publisher: Villard
ISBN: 0375506659
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Travis Hugh Culley came to Chicago to work and live as an artist. He knew he'd have to struggle, but he found that his struggle meant more than hard work and a taste for poverty. In becoming a bike messenger, he found a sense of community and fulfillment and a brotherhood of like-minded individualists. He rode like a postmodern cowboy across the city's landscape; he passed like a shadow through its soaring office towers; he soared like a falcon through the roaring chaos of the multilayered streets of Chicago. He became an invisible man in society, yet at the same time its most intimate observer. In one of the most dangerous jobs on dry land, he found freedom. In The Immortal Class, Culley takes us in-side the heart and soul of an urban icon the bicycle messenger. In describing his own history and those of his peers, he evokes a classic American maverick, deeply woven into the fabric of society from the pits of squalor to the highest reaches of power and privilege yet always resolutely, exuberantly outside. And he celebrates a culture that eschews the motorized vehicle: the cult of human power. The Immortal Class, Culley's vivid evocation of a bicycle messenger's experience and philosophy, sheds a compelling light on the way human beings relate to one another and to the cities we inhabit. Travis Hugh Culley's voice is at once earthy and soaringly poetic a Gen-X Tom Joad at hyperspeed. The Immortal Class is a unique personal and political narrative of a cyclist's life on the street.

To live, to love, they seek the dark side of the sun... 2 - The Circle Unbroken A prince, a king, an oath to bind and an oath to break. Can something begun in darkness survive the light? Or does the shape of that oath define love...and the circle unbroken? 3 - The Burning Season Winter's love is blood and chaos...but fire isn't all that smolders at Summer's heart. 4 - The Shadow Road Spring is dead. Summer is divided. Autumn has its darkness...and Winter waits. 5 - A Harvest of Dreams and EmbersWhat the fire has learned, the ashes will remember...forever. Strange alliances are forged among the fae as Macsen Cadoc and his fae allies attempt to defeat the Milesians, Irish huntresses who bear a grudge against the sidhe. Failure will bring Macsen to his knees; success may do the same, unless he and Bran Fionnan, once a captive of the huntresses, can succeed in sowing seeds of peace. Yet even while some attempt to find a middle ground and forge a place where tolerance can flower, a new power rises, a threat to them all. The Church of Rome aims to win the earth from its immortal rivals, even if doing so comes at the price of magic itself. It will be up to Macsen to make a choice that might save the fae and all that sustains them...but only Bran has the power to convince him to do what is right. Can mortal and immortal overcome the conflicts that divide them when some must hunt others to survive? Is love stronger than anything—even a Fae King's pride?

ISBN: 1784305774
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
The first step on the road to addiction is desire... Tighe is Summer's prince, the second son of the Summer Queen. The blindness of his mortal father cursed him with eyes that see too much, and now he wanders the woods of immortal Summer alone. He is an outsider in his own country or at best a curiosity—never someone anyone truly wants. Faelan is gancanagh, one of dark Summer's most treacherous beings. Beguiling as he is beautiful, he, like all of his kind, was made to incite lust and longing, even as he seeks true love. For anything mortal, anything unprepared, even to be in his presence is dangerous. When the two meet by chance, Faelan can't help but be curious about this half-mortal prince—and the prince is more interested in a companion than questioning what kind. Tighe has never seen anything but the lie behind love. Faelan is love's lie and knows it. Is the beginning and end of everything between them inevitable? Which is stronger, need—or nature?
