Book Description
It's not easy being popular... In the wake of the destruction caused by the Roses of Tartarus, reconstruction begins on Itogami Island. The people laud Asagi Aiba as their savior, and she's even become something of a local idol.

Book Description
"Here there be dragons"--this notation was often made on ancient maps to indicate the edges of the known world and what lay beyond. Heroes who ventured there were only as great as the beasts they encountered. This encyclopedia contains more than 2,200 monsters of myth and folklore, who both made life difficult for humans and fought by their side. Entries describe the appearance, behavior, and cultural origin of mythic creatures well-known and obscure, collected from traditions around the world.

Book Description
On September 20, 1587, Walpurga Hausmännin of Dillingen in southern Germany was burned at the stake as a witch. Although she had confessed to committing a long list of maleficia (deeds of harmful magic), including killing forty—one infants and two mothers in labor, her evil career allegedly began with just one heinous act—sex with a demon. Fornication with demons was a major theme of her trial record, which detailed an almost continuous orgy of sexual excess with her diabolical paramour Federlin "in many divers places, . . . even in the street by night." As Walter Stephens demonstrates in Demon Lovers, it was not Hausmännin or other so-called witches who were obsessive about sex with demons—instead, a number of devout Christians, including trained theologians, displayed an uncanny preoccupation with the topic during the centuries of the "witch craze." Why? To find out, Stephens conducts a detailed investigation of the first and most influential treatises on witchcraft (written between 1430 and 1530), including the infamous Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches). Far from being credulous fools or mindless misogynists, early writers on witchcraft emerge in Stephens's account as rational but reluctant skeptics, trying desperately to resolve contradictions in Christian thought on God, spirits, and sacraments that had bedeviled theologians for centuries. Proof of the physical existence of demons—for instance, through evidence of their intercourse with mortal witches—would provide strong evidence for the reality of the supernatural, the truth of the Bible, and the existence of God. Early modern witchcraft theory reflected a crisis of belief—a crisis that continues to be expressed today in popular debates over angels, Satanic ritual child abuse, and alien abduction.

Book Description
Reader Feedback: “Eye and Rowland are absolute masters at world creation, as demonstrated in this first novel of what should become a classic fantasy trilogy.” “Though very developed characters and distinct worlds it was easy to read and follow. The Book of Celesta is a beautiful gift in the story development. Unexpected twists kept me intrigued.” “The story is captivating and follows theatrical structures both familiar and fantastical leading to an ending that is exciting, mysterious, and unexpected.” ***** A true tale of high fantasy, On Wings of Air maintains many romantic elements, exploring real-world problems in a fantasy setting which appeals to a wide audience. The prince of the Skychildren is exiled from the sky and enslaved by his enemies on the ground. In such circumstances, how is he to save his kingdom from a madman and the entire world from destruction by a powerful creature created by a goddess? And how could love for the princess of the Groundbreathers possibly enter into the picture? If you are a fan of Fantasy, On Wings of Air is for you! ***** “Tierra, I don’t think you quite understand. If I found the Fenik, there would be nothing you—or anyone else here—could do to stop me from leaving. You said that Fenik was ‘a weapon of sorts.’ In fact, the Fenik is the ultimate weapon.” “I should not need to remind you, but it appears that I must. We are Skychildren. We are not barbarians. We do not keep slaves, and we do not attack defenseless women in the streets. We are ruled by honor, not by our emotions. It is true that we have an eons-long dispute with Princess Tierra’s people. But we have no quarrel with her personally. In every way that matters, she is the same as we are.” “Come now, what are you waiting for? Finish me off now, and you shall have your victory. Immolate both of us in your fire, and you shall be free to do as you wish!”
