Call me Dragon. It's the last thing you'll ever do. Blitz the Devastator has never done a decent day's devastating in his life. Fireless, artistic and shunned by his Dragon Clan, he struggles to pillage even the meanest village. A future full of misery and failure beckons. This much is true until the day the burly brown Dragon successfully - imagine that - kidnaps the Princess Azania. As a black Princess of T'nagru, this spirited beauty is by definition the most unforgettable woman in the seventeen realms.

To Blitz's consternation, the royal nuisance refuses to behave herself and be a typical pampered Princess. With humour, unconventional flair and the odd stomp of her diminutive slipper, she sets out to reform her Dragon. One question remains. Who will save the Dragon from the Princess?

Dragon Seed
Author: Pearl S. Buck
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1453263519
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
A New York Times–bestselling historical novel about the Japanese invasion of Nanking from the author of The Good Earth. Farmer Liang Tan knows only a quiet, traditional life in his remote Chinese farming community. When news filters in that Japanese forces are invading the country, he and his fellow villagers believe that if they behave decently to the Japanese soldiers, the civilians might remain undisturbed. They’re in for a shock, as the attackers lay waste to the country and install a puppet government designed to systematically carry out Japanese interests. In response, the Chinese farmers and their families form a resistance—which not only carries grave risk, but also breaks their vow of nonviolence, leading them to wonder if they’re any different than their enemy. Later adapted into a film featuring Katharine Hepburn, Dragon Seed is a brilliant and unflinching look at the horrors of war. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

Touching the Dragon
Author: James Hatch
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0451494695
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
“Jimmy Hatch is a personal hero of mine.” —Anderson Cooper “Irresistible. . . . A wounded SEAL’s shame becomes a salvation.” —J. Ford Huffman, Military Times James Hatch is a former special ops Navy SEAL senior chief, master naval parachutist, and expert military dog trainer and handler. On his fateful final mission in Afghanistan, his SEAL team was sent to recover Bowe Bergdahl—the soldier who deserted his post and fell into the hands of Al-Qaida and the Taliban. The mission went south, and Hatch was left with a shattered femur from an AK-47 round and the SEAL dog who fought alongside him was dead. As a result of his horrific leg wound, his twenty-four-year military career came to an end—and with it the only life he’d ever known. In Touching the Dragon, we witness his long road to recovery. Getting well physically required eighteen surgeries, twelve months of recovery, and learning to walk again. But getting well mentally would prove to be much tougher, as he fought through the depths of despair, alcoholism, and the pull to end his own life. What emerges is a different kind of hero’s journey, one in which Hatch shows the courage it takes to confess, confront, and overcome his own brokenness. Through the love of family, friends, and his military dogs, Hatch learned remarkable tools and found his purpose, and now he wants to share this wisdom with the rest of us because we all have wounds.

Book Description
It's always a bad idea to fall for a hot mysterious billionaire with a spooky castle. Especially when you find out he's a dragon. Night nurse Andi was desperate for money to bail out her idiot brother from jail. A one-time nursing gig seemed like the perfect deal: lots of cash, no questions asked. But when her employer, who turns out to be the notorious billionaire Damian Blackwood, saves her from a monster, there's no forgetting what she saw - not his insanely superhero physique, not the hungry way he looks at her, like she's some priceless treasure to be possessed, and definitely not the fact that he's got another hidden self; he's an honest-to-god dragon. Andi knows the dragon shifter's secret and he's definitely far from pleased. After a night of monsters and madness, he takes her home in his fancy sports car and asks her for a date. The expensive well-tailored suit can't disguise the carnal promise in his eyes and wildness in his savage smile. The gorgeous alpha dragon wants to claim her, ravish her harder and more fiercely than any human ever could. And a part of Andi wants him to. What if she says yes?

No More Dragons

Pages : 249
Book Description
Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process. You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren't who you used to be. You aren't who you want to be. You're not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you're a dragon. When Jim Burgen was nineteen years old, he realized how easy it had been to become a dragon. He knew he didn't want to be one anymore . . . but how? No More Dragons is the story of our common, hopeful journey from dragonhood back to personhood. As Pastor Burgen narrates the remarkable process of reclaiming himself from himself, he implores modern church goers to shake off the trivialities of churchiness in favor of the substantive questions that make a spiritual transformation: “Is Jesus the only one who can undragon people?” “Why don't I like most churches?” “Where is God in difficult times?” “How do you shed decades of gnarly scales?” Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.
