Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
When the border between Earth and Vanadis was created, so were three men—guardians meant to mend the border when it began to fail. That time is now, and those three guardians must prepare. Varros Hawk is the first. He was born a member of an infamous assassin’s guild but left when he discovered the damning truth about its leader. Now that the leader has taken his revenge by corrupting Hawk’s best friend, Hawk will have to risk a dangerous battle if he wants to get him back. The second guardian is Therrian Shalis, once a dark angel the underworld council saw fit to execute. Reincarnated to do the bidding of the guild’s leader, his only desire is to get revenge on the council. In his attempt to do so, Therrian’s path crosses Hawk’s, and he gets a lot more than he bargained for. The identity of the third guardian is yet unknown, but he is the most powerful of the three. There are rumors, however, of another with abilities that neither world has ever witnessed before. All of these men must overcome their demons before facing the greatest challenge of all: sealing the border and saving both worlds from extinction.

Pages : 347
Book Description
A fallen realm must rise again. The dark is but a shadow of its former glory. Corruption, propaganda, and terror have flooded the underworld, poisoning morale and diluting the popular will. The once-powerful demon lords have fled and the former king's few remaining supporters are vilified and hunted by roving gangs. The demonic forces that now wield power in the black halls have grown fat on plunder, and they'll not give it up easily. In order to prevail, Max and Arinna must rally new and old allies into an army. They will wage war to restore the throne and reclaim the soul of the dark. Drastic measures will most definitely be necessary and they'd better accomplish them quickly before Max's final moments bleed away.

Battle for the Blood
Author: Lucienne Diver
Publisher: WordFire +ORM

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
This Greek-mythology-inspired urban fantasy romance series continues as a part-gorgon PI rushes to stop an apocalypse in New York City. Tori Karacis knows it’s going to be a bad day when she wakes to two surprises. One, she’s in bed with a very naked Apollo, having lost her struggle to resist her attraction to him. Two, she still has her wings. Not dinky little fairy wings, but full-scale, cover-’em-with-a-trench-coat bat wings. Apollo suggests consulting the Gray Sisters about the wing problem. Those cannibalistic, psychopathic oracles who—even with only one tooth and one eye among them—manage to see too much. For one thing, they’ve foreseen a Rapture, zombie-apocalypse, biblical-plague, hellgates-busted-open end of the world. While the Sisters are perfectly cool with death and destruction, the thinning of the human herd doesn’t sit well with them at all. They’ll help Tori. All she has to do is save the world. Tori and her team trace the origin of the plagues to New York City, which is under quarantine and martial law (as if that would enough to stop the influx of gods and gorgons, dragons and demons). But as death threatens from the outside, betrayal lurks within Tori’s circle of friends. And nobody is safe. Nobody.

The Enforcers
Author: Caryn Dolley
Publisher: Jonathan Ball Publishers
ISBN: 1868429210
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Here is the Cape Town underworld laid bare, explored through the characters who control the "protection" industry – the bouncers and security at nightclubs and strip clubs. At the centre of this turf war is Nafiz Modack, the latest kingpin to have seized control of the industry, a man often in court on various charges, including extortion. Investigative journalist Caryn Dolley has followed Modack and his predecessors for six years as power has shifted in the nightclub security industry, and she focuses on how closely connected the criminal underworld is with the police services. In this suspenseful page-turner of an investigation, she writes about the overlapping of the state with the underworld, the underworld with the 'upperworld', and how the associated violence is not confined to specific areas of Cape Town, but is happening inside hospitals, airports, clubs and restaurants and putting residents at risk. A book that lays bare the myth that violence and gangsterism in Cape Town is confined to the ganglands of the Cape Flats – wherever you find yourself, you're only a hair's breadth away from the enforcers.

Resounding International Relations
Author: M.I. Franklin
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137056177
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
This book explores a provocative area of inquiry for critical theory and research into world politics and popular culture: music. Not just because political science barely engages with anything musical, but also because it is clear that many opportunities for critical scholarship and reflection on global politics and economics are present in the spaces and relationships created by organized sound. It is easy to focus on the textual elements of music, but there is more at stake than just the words. Critical reflection on the intersections between music and politics also need to take into account the visceral and non-verbal elements such as counterpoint and harmony, polyphony and dissonance, noise, rhymes, rhythms, performance and the visual/aural dimensions to music-making.

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
With a frightening capacity for extreme violence, Tyneside protection hardman Viv Graham struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, yet his benevolence to local charities and schemes to keep kids away from drugs and crime was well known.
