Publisher: Tor Books
ISBN: 1429913037
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
When Darkness Falls, the third book in The Obsidian Trilogy from Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory Despite a great working of Wild Magic and High Magic that struck at the heart of the Demon Queen's evil plots, Knight-Mage Kellen and his Elven allies are still seen as enemies by the human Mage Council. The Elves and their allies must find a way to shatter the Demons' hold on the human Mages, for without their High Magic, the forces of Light will be destroyed by the forces of Darkness. The Commander of the Armies of Light decides to turn an Elven mine into a refuge for those driven from their homes by the war. Kellen is put in command of the force of engineers and warriors who will fortify the mine and does not learn until it is nearly too late that the caverns are full of Shadowed Elves. Vestakia, the half-human, half-Demon healer, finds that she has begun to be able to read the mind of her Demon father, Crown Prince Zyperis. The Demon Queen, Savilla, is preparing a great sacrifice that will summon He Who Is back to the world and make her the ultimate ruler forever. When Wild Mage Idalia learns of Savilla's plans, she knows there is only one way to prevent the coming of He Who Is. A very different sort of sacrifice must be made.

The Summoning God
Author: Kathleen O'Neal Gear
Publisher: Forge Books
ISBN: 1466823569
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Book II of the Anasazi Mysteries from New York Times bestselling authors Kathleen O'Neal Gear and Michael W. Gear, The Summoning God is more than a superb murder mystery, it is a psychological thriller with blockbuster action, romance and suspense, and best of all a dynamic plot that will have you holding your breath waiting for the nest step down the dark labyrinth of their serial murderer's mind. When world-renowned Canadian Physical Anthropologist, Dr. Maureen Cole, is called to the United States to analyze burials found in an ancient subterranean ceremonial chamber, she is stunned to discover the burned bodies of thirty-three children and two adults. The children were burned in the flesh, meaning they were alive when the fire started, but was the fire an accident or deliberately set? The scattered, mutilated remains of the adults give Maureen her first clue. In order to solve the mystery she must work with American archaeologist William Dusty Stewart. They've worked on two archaeological projects in the past and get along like a mongoose and a cobra. Now they must work together to discover the dark and terrible secret of an ancient people. The Gears seamlessly weave together modern archaeology and ancient history. Like all of their books, The Summoning God is based on real archaeological sites that tell a terrifying story of North America eight hundred years ago. Breathtaking descriptions evoke the harsh beauty of the desert, while the lucid, erudite historical perspectives are informed by the authors' own extensive archeological experience.

Pages : 550
Book Description
In the wake of the cataclysmic loss of the heaven of the First Time, the kingdoms of this world descended into an unrelenting dark age. Driven to return to the paradise that once was, human civilizations rose and fell, their sovereignty always short lived, and forever challenged by conflicting visions of how to restore heaven on earth. In the time of the great transgression, a path for man to return to the way of life was established in the Na Akhu-El sages, the shining ones of the First Time. In these the seed of light of the Golden Age was sown, to teach the way of the Four Forces, of the cycles of creation, and how to harmonize in them. And though the way was offered, and there were those who awakened to divine identity in the new heaven of this world, always the spirits of fear, greed, and shame overwhelmed the revelation, obscured the way, and wrought destruction. At the Great Pyramid, an epiphany in the Kings Chamber compels Hugues Caron to seek out and learn of the Na Akhu-el sages, the way of divine identity and mastery of the lost Hallows. In his quest to understand the mystery of the stone of sovereignty, Caron learns that a third and final opportunity for the spiritual regeneration of the human race, and return to the Golden Age, is in the offing. Again, it is for the Na Akhu-El sages to prepare the way, but even as this millennial old contest comes to climax, subversive forces of another ancient order are at work. Should these prevail an end will be made to the fallen state, not in restoration to a Golden Age, but in the final destruction of the human race.

Archaeologies of Cosmoscapes in the Americas
Author: J. Grant Stauffer
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1789258456
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
This volume examines how pre-Columbian societies in the Americas envisioned their cosmos and iteratively modeled it through the creation of particular objects and places. It emphasizes that American societies did this to materialize overarching models and templates for the shape and scope of the cosmos, the working definition of cosmoscape. Noting a tendency to gloss over the ways in which ancestral Americans envisioned the cosmos as intertwined and animated, the authors examine how cosmoscapes are manifested archaeologically, in the forms of objects and physically altered landscapes. This book’s chapters, therefore, offer case studies of cosmoscapes that present themselves as forms of architecture, portable artifacts, and transformed aspects of the natural world. In doing so, it emphasizes that the creation of cosmoscapes offered a means of reconciling peoples experiences of the world with their understandings of them.
