A loyal soldier irrevocably bound to a cruel master, Caspian lives by one creed: obey, hunt, kill. Until her. Innocent and naively hopeful, Niamh is the perfect pawn – and the ideal subject in his most twisted game yet. She is also a willing victim – for if it means achieving her most cherished dream of seeing the world, she is willing to do just about anything… Even sacrifice herself to a monster. As their mutual interest in each other becomes a burning obsession, Caspian and Niamh are forced to grapple with who the monster in this terrifying game truly is… And whether he’ll ever be willing to let her go.

Linguistic Taboo Revisited
Author: Andrea Pizarro Pedraza
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110582759
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Linguistic taboo has been relegated for a long time to a peripheral position within Linguistics, due to its social stigmatization and inherent linguistic complexity. Recently, though, there has been a renewed interest in revisiting the phenomenon, especially from cognitive frameworks. This volume is the first collection of papers dealing with linguistic taboo from that perspective. The volume gathers 15 chapters, which provide novel insights into a broad range of taboo phenomena (euphemism, dysphemism, swearing, political correctness, coprolalia, etc.) from the fields of sexuality, diseases, death, war, ageing or religion. With a special focus on lexical semantics, the authors in the volume work within Cognitive Linguistics frameworks such as conceptual metaphor and metonymy, cultural conceptualization or cognitive sociolinguistics, but also at the interface of pragmatics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, cognitive science or psychiatry. This volume provides theoretical reflections and case studies based on new methods and data from varied languages (English, Spanish, Polish, Dutch, Persian, Gikũyũ and Egyptian Arabic). As such, it moves towards a new generation of linguistic taboo studies.

The Wild
Author: K. Webster
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781974092802
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
I brought them to the wilderness because we couldn't cope with our reality. The plan was to make a new life that didn't include heartache. No people. No technology. No interference. Just us. A chance to piece together what was broken. But the wilderness is untamed and harsh. Brutal and unforgiving. It doesn't give a damn about your feelings. Tragedy lives there too. No escaping the truths that won't let you go. All you can do is survive where love, no matter how beastly, is the only thing you can truly count on. Confusing. Wrong. Twisted. Beautiful. Sick. Love is wild. And we're going to set it free. WARNING: The Wild is an extremely taboo story. Most will find that the themes in this book will make you incredibly uncomfortable or maybe even offend you. This book is only for the brave, the open-minded, and the ones who crave love in even the most dismal of situations. Extreme sexual themes and violence in certain scenes, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to heavy taboo themes, then this story is not for you. Seriously, you've been warned. Don't say I didn't try. You're probably going to cringe many, many, many times. Even if you're on the fence, it's probably not a good idea to proceed. However, if you're intrigued and fearless and kind of sort of trust me, then carry on. This book is for you.
