Book Description
This story was added by Lord Brutus to his chronicles because it had an impact on his early life. Earth, just ten years after the battle of the Sorcerers. Only Bundwold, Megalin and Krossos had survived the war and these three were the sole surviving members of the Council of Magicians, and all were white sorcerers, much to the dismay of Lord Baal. Baal set a trap using minions that worshipped him called THE RISING MOON CULT. He knew that Bundwold missed his pet that he called The Yetson. It was a cross between a rat and a bird with an ugly beak full of sharp teeth and it had leathery skin rather than feathers. As Bundwold bent to collect his pet, his clutching fingers touched its skin and a spell was tripped. The Yetson suddenly grew to eight feet tall, killing Bundwold and only allowing him time to transfer his soul to the nether regions of Earth and the Underworld. A plot is hatched to use The Yetson to snare one of the last two Sorcerers to his cause.

Pages : 256
Book Description
Lord Brutus, the new King of Caderia, was soon to learn that being king like his father before him carried a greater burden than he ever thought possible. With the invasion of his own realm by the Master of Chaos (Krossos) almost nigh, he is forced to seek out and free the white wizard Megalin from a trap set by the black wizard Krossos. Only with Megalin's help can the invasion be stopped and defeated. Megalin sends Lord Brutus help from an unlikely source, the Channi, warriors created by magic that started life as six-inch lizards from the swamps around the fabled City of Magicians. The leader of these creatures is Grogan, who brings a charm that had been worn by Brutus's late father; this would protect him from dark spells and creatures from the Underworld. So begins his quest to free Megalin and take on the role of protector of Earth and humanity; and the start of his fabled chronicles. A new hero is born?

The Magitians Discovered, Volume 1
Author: John S. Madziarczyk
Publisher: Topaz House Publications
ISBN: 099066824X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In 1665 an anonymous treatise was added to a book skeptical of witchcraft. That book, "The Discoverie of Witchcraft", compiled by Reginald Scot and published in 1584, defended those accused of witchcraft. It also included so many examples of rituals and charms that it became popular with magical practitioners themselves. Although the"Discoverie" has since been reprinted several times, the anonymous material has not been available for over a hundred years. This material features a combination of ceremonial magic, Paracelsian thought, pagan folk rituals, and spirits from John Dee's "A True & Faithful Relation", all mixed into a synthetic whole. "The Magitians Discovered" Volume I is an analysis of who the authors of the anonymous material were, what their worldview was, and what their motivations may have been in assembling and inserting the anonymous material.

The Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500-1640
Author: Andrew Hadfield
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191655074
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 2551
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500-1640 is the only current overview of early modern English prose writing. The aim of the volume is to make prose more visible as a subject and as a mode of writing. It covers a vast range of material vital for the understanding of the period: from jestbooks, newsbooks, and popular romance to the translation of the classics and the pioneering collections of scientific writing and travel writing; from diaries, tracts on witchcraft, and domestic conduct books to rhetorical treatises designed for a courtly audience; from little known works such as William Baldwin's Beware the Cat, probably the first novel in English, to The Bible, The Book of Common Prayer and Richard Hooker's eloquent statement of Anglican belief, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. The work not only deals with the range and variety of the substance and types of English prose, but also analyses the forms and styles of writing adopted in the early modern period, ranging from the Euphuistic nature of prose fiction inaugurated by John Lyly's mannered novel, to the aggressive polemic of the Marprelate controversy; from the scatological humour of comic writing to the careful modulations of the most significant sermons of the age; and from the pithy and concise English essays of Francis Bacon to the ornate and meandering style of John Florio's translation of Montaigne's famous collection. Each essay provides an overview as well as comment on key passages, and a select guide to further reading.
