Broken Wishes

Pages : 232
Book Description
In the riveting sequel to Cursed Wishes, award-winning author Marcy Kennedy returns to the isles of medieval Scotland in a fast-paced fantasy where evil creatures roam the earth and danger is hidden in every lie you tell yourself. NOTHING WITH THE FAE IS EVER FREE, ESPECIALLY NOT VICTORY… Ceana Campbell wakes up in Duntulm Castle after surviving the battle with the nuckalevee, believing that it’s only a matter of days until her curse is lifted. Gavran will return for her as soon as he heals from the wound the nuckalevee gave him, and Lady MacDonald will take them to her fae contact. At least, that’s how it was supposed to go, but magical wounds aren’t like natural ones. The nuckalevee infected Gavran with a poisonous venom when it struck him down. Within a fortnight, he’ll die a painful death unless they can find an equally magical cure. THE MOST DANGEROUS MONSTER IS SOMETIMES THE ONE WITHIN… Gavran Anderson’s mind is no longer his own. Whatever the nuckalevee venom has done to him, the physical effects are the least of his worries. He’s not even as terrified as he should be that the only way to cure him involves facing another fae who’d rather see them suffer. What scares him the most are the voices in his head. The ones telling him that the people he thought were his friends want him dead. That he’ll feel better if they’re gone. Can Ceana find a way to outwit an opponent more cruel and cunning than she ever imagined possible before time runs out? Or before Gavran kills her first?

Cursed Are You!
Author: Anne Marie Kitz
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 1575068745
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.
