Pages : 398
Book Description
When the human and mer worlds collide in the maelstrom of the unforgiving ocean, destinies are intertwined. Tristan and Maki aren’t meant to know the other exists, but neither can resist the siren call of fate. The sea is a cruel mistress, though, merciless with the defiant. Desperate to escape obscurity, two dreamers hope for a better life. Instead, they may be doomed to drown in disaster. Alone in a life he didn’t choose, Tristan lives every day in obligation to a seaside town that’s never felt like home. Overseeing the lighthouse was supposed to be his father’s duty, not his. All Tristan wants to do is paint and go back to the excitement of the mainland where he’d always intended to make a name for himself. There’s nothing for him in Vollendale and being forced to obey the whims of the ocean only reminds him of what he’s lost. He has no objection to living quietly but he wants to set his own terms and right now, he feels like he’s stuck in someone else’s life. Haunted by the past with a hopeless future ahead of him, Tristan trudges through a tedious present with little to look forward to. He just wants something to break him out of the drudgery. Maki has nothing to complain about in his charmed life beneath the waves of Wyntos Key. He has good friends, a job he loves, and endless opportunities to pursue his passion. Unfortunately, his passion lies in exploring the surface world, which is all but forbidden to his kind. Tritons are a myth to humans, and the merfolk want it to stay that way. But Maki sees such potential in human innovation, dreaming up inventions to enhance the lives of his people as he experiences the wonders of life on land. The human world is fascinatingly rich in sensation and now that Maki’s had a taste, his appetite has only grown. Indulging his insatiable curiosity is addictive but also dangerous, and he’s unaware of the consequences his reckless impetuousness will bring. A triton oblivious to the dangers of the surface world. A human terrified of the ocean. There’s no reason for them to fit together as well as they do. But destiny works in mysterious ways and they just might find a place in the world to accommodate them both. The difficulty lies in what they have to sacrifice to get there. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content. For a more comprehensive list of content tags, please see this book’s information page at the author’s website.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Pages : 13819
Book Description
Beware The Silence stands as a testament to the enduring allure and inherent mystery of the unsaid, the unexplained, and the eerily quiet moments that precede a storm. Spanning an impressive range of literary styles, from the gothic to the speculative, the realist to the supernatural, this collection delves into the silence that speaks volumes, exploring themes of isolation, the unknown, and the uncanny. This anthology is notable not just for its breadth but also for its depth, featuring standout pieces that showcase the unique intersections of culture, time, and psychology, marking a significant contribution to the literary landscape. The authors and editors represented in Beware The Silence collectively bring a rich mosaic of backgrounds, from the well-trodden halls of classic literature by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to the shadowy corners explored by H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. These authors, hailing from varied eras and regions, contribute to a multifaceted exploration of the anthology's theme, each drawing from their unique personal, historical, and cultural contexts. Their works reflect the diverse literary movements they belonged to, from Romanticism to Victorian literature, from realism to the birth of modern horror and speculative fiction, enriching the reader's understanding of how silence can signify across different temporal and cultural landscapes. Beware The Silence invites readers into a rich tapestry of narratives that promise to captivate, haunt, and challenge. It stands as a unique opportunity to traverse a wide spectrum of human emotion and experience, offering insights into the often underexplored themes of silence and the unsaid. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of literature, this collection provides not only a voyage into the many facets of silence but also fosters a dialogue between the past and present, the said and the unsaid, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by the complexities that define the human condition.

Sex is ill-advised and euphory pills provide a great replacement, newborn babies, normally created by in vitro insemination, are taken immediately from the mother and raised in Argus nurseries by sociologists and psychiatrist, education is in standard schools following strict programs. The system is deeply established in the capital City but in the second largest city, Sodom there is some anarchistic system competing with the computer. In the semi-desert called the Delta (of the river Stiks) a community of cave-dwellers is surviving in very poor conditions, the area above the salt desert is supposed to be contaminated after the civil war by the use of mini neutron-bombs and chemical warfare. Now a blind street singer is hired in an Argus hunting team to find and kill a terrorist in the Delta…
