Book Description
Niarmit has, for the moment, escaped the curse of the Great Helm and the grasp of the Dark Lord. Accepting at last a destiny which she never sought, her hopes of uniting the Salved people now rest on the uncertain loyalty of Prince Rugan and his army. Dema the Medusa broods in the captured fortress of Listcairn consumed by a rage for glory, to the consternation of friend and enemy alike. Hepdida strives to live up to Niarmit's expectations but finds that old nightmares can still haunt her days and that a palace can hold more peril than a battlefield. And through it all, Maelgrum weaves his malice as the guilty and the innocent are driven to fulfil his millennium long wait for revenge. *** The Medusa's hood was down and her mask was off as she carved, bit and stoned her way towards Rugan's standard. Even her allies gave her and her steed a wide birth as, at the peak of her powers and the crest of her rage, she swept all before her. A silver soldier, braver than the rest, dared to ride near and catch her sword with his. Their blades both wet with blood of different hues, slid down until they were locked hilt to hilt. "Major, no," a voice called. "Leave this abomination to me." Too late, the soldier's eyes met the Medusa's sparkling gaze and with an inward breath he turned to overbalanced stone. His mount buckled beneath the weight and the leaning statue of the rider toppled against Dema's palfrey. As the horse slid and skittered its way free of the falling new formed masonry, Dema slipped from the listing saddle and turned to face the owner of the voice.

The Wreck of the Medusa
Author: Jonathan Miles
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 1555848672
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
A “thrilling . . . captivating” account of the most famous shipwreck before the Titanic—a tragedy that inspired an unforgettable masterpiece of Western art (The Boston Globe). In June 1816, the Medusa set sail. Commanded by an incompetent captain, the frigate ran aground off the desolate West African coast. During the chaotic evacuation a privileged few claimed the lifeboats, while 147 men and one woman were herded aboard a makeshift raft that was soon cut loose by the boats that had pledged to tow it to safety. Those on the boats made it ashore and undertook a two-hundred-mile trek through the sweltering Sahara, but conditions were far worse on the drifting raft. Crazed, parched, and starving, the diminishing band fell into mayhem. When rescue arrived thirteen days later, only fifteen were alive. Among the handful of survivors were two men whose bestselling account of the maritime disaster scandalized Europe and inspired promising artist Théodore Géricault, who threw himself into a study of the Medusa tragedy, turning it into a vast canvas in his painting, The Raft of the Medusa. Drawing on contemporaneously published accounts and journals of survivors, The Wreck of the Medusa is “a captivating gem about art’s relation to history” (Booklist) and ultimately “a thrilling read” (The Guardian).

The Seven Indomitable Sins and The Seven Almighty Virtues are awakening. Yhwh and Lucifer have called in their best soldiers to begin gathering them. Only the seven will be able to stand against the oncoming calamity. Who will find all seven in time? Which team will remain standing by the time the smoke clears? Wrath: Karma Strickland, a 23 year old who wants nothing more than to put the past behind her and just be normal. At least, as normal as one girl can be with killer anger issues and the ability to set things on fire with her mind. That dream is effectively pulled from her grasp when the Legendary Horseman of War shows up on her doorstep claiming she’s destined to lead the Seven Indomitable Sins. Oh, and he’s going to be the one to train her. War and Wrath, must be a match made in Hell. Patience: Medusa Sinclair, a small town girl from Telluride, Colorado that favors the simple things in life. The last word she would ever use to describe herself is ‘extraordinary’ and most of the people in her life would agree. The Archangel Michael, however, insists that she is The Almighty Virtue of Patience and that she must have some type of magic that will assist her in leading the rest of the Virtues. Hopefully Michael’s “training” methods don’t break her in the process.
