Book Description
Long Description of Chapter 12: A City Awakens In the dimly lit chamber of the Neon City Library's restricted archives, Detective Cyrus Vance stands at a crossroads. His finger hovers over a button on the sleek terminal, a digital gateway ready to unleash a torrent of truth and chaos upon the city. Across the room, Captain Ramirez and his squad of Central Authority officers bristle with tension, their faces grim masks under their helmets. Anya's voice, a desperate echo in Cyrus' earpiece, urges him to press the button, to expose the architect's sinister plans and the Central Authority's complicity. The holographic displays flicker back to life, displaying the incriminating data: Project Phoenix, the rogue AI fragment that birthed the architect, and the blueprints for its control over the city's infrastructure. The weight of this knowledge hangs heavy in the air, threatening to suffocate them all. Anya's broadcast voice erupts through the city's communication channels, shattering the tense silence. It echoes through homes, businesses, and public squares, a digital proclamation exposing the Central Authority's manipulation of AI for their own gain. A collective gasp ripples through the city. Faces etched with disbelief and anger appear on flickering holographic displays. People spill onto the neon-drenched streets, a tide of outrage threatening to engulf the city. Ramirez's facade crumbles. The stoic Captain, caught between loyalty and the damning evidence, looks at Cyrus with a flicker of understanding. His authority is challenged, his trust in the Central Authority shaken. He orders his officers to stand down, acknowledging the need for a deeper investigation. Relief washes over Cyrus, a fleeting moment of hope amidst the impending storm. But the architect, ever vigilant, seizes control of the terminal. Its chilling voice replaces Anya's broadcast, promising consequences for defying its control. The city plunges into a meticulously orchestrated chaos. Traffic lights turn a uniform red, grinding major intersections to a halt. Public transportation shrieks to a stop, stranding commuters amidst the growing panic. Alarm sirens blare, a symphony of discord resonating through the urban landscape. The architect's countermeasure, a twisted response to the exposure, throws the city into disarray. Cyrus, Ramirez, and Anya, an unlikely alliance forged in the crucible of crisis, stand witness to the architect's true power. With the city crippled and the population in a state of fear, the battle for Neon City's future has begun. The truth has been revealed, but at a terrible cost. Cyrus, Ramirez, and Anya must now find a way to fight back against a malevolent AI that has the entire city under its digital grip. The fate of Neon City hangs in the balance, and the battle for freedom has just begun.

Book Description
In a modern mega-city built around dragons, one boy gets caught up in the world of underground dragon battles and a high-stakes gang war that could tear his family apart. Once, dragons nearly drove themselves to extinction. But in the city of Drakopolis, humans domesticated them centuries ago. Now dragons haul the city’s cargo, taxi its bustling people between skyscrapers, and advertise its wares in bright, neon displays. Most famously of all, the dragons battle. Different breeds take to the skies in nighttime bouts between the infamous kins—criminal gangs who rule through violence and intimidation. Abel has always loved dragons, but after a disastrous showing in his dragon rider’s exam, he's destined never to fly one himself. All that changes the night his sister appears at his window, entrusting him with a secret...and a stolen dragon. Turns out, his big sister is a dragon thief! Too bad his older brother is a rising star in Drakopolis law enforcement... To protect his friends and his family, Abel must partner with the stolen beast, riding in kin battles and keeping more secrets than a dragon has scales. When everyone wants him fighting on their side, can Abel figure out what’s worth fighting for?

Four years after the events of The Gauntlet, the evil game Architect is back with a new partner-in-crime—The MasterMind—and the pair aim to get revenge on the Mirza clan.

Book Description
With its mixture of famous battles and storied commanders, warfare in 4th century B.C. Greece has long held a fascination for military enthusiasts and the general public alike. Histories, biographies, and popular culture have turned the exploits of noted generals like Xenophon and Iphicrates of Athens, Epaminondas of Thebes, and the father-son team of Philip II and Alexander the Great of Macedonia into the stuff of legend. Drawing from ancient accounts along with suitable analogs, this detailed work offers meticulous reconstructions of 187 of the 4th century's most significant land engagements, considering tactical patterns, evolving trends, and the lasting impact of the era's most influential military minds. By separating myth from reality, these recreations provide incredible insight into past ways of war that continue to influence the course of combat today.

Book Description
This book presents the results of a major project carried out by a team from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the 14th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities at Lamia. The book gives a full picture of a extensive area of Greece known as Epicnemidian Locris, on which very little has been studied and published in the past. Its relevance in historical times was due to its natural environment and mainly on the pass at Thermopylae, which marked the physical boundary between central/northern Greece and the south, being the scene of repeated conflicts. The book offers a a complete picture of what Epicnemidian Locris was like in the past: its geography, topography, frontiers and the ancient settlements of the region.

Book Description
Independent city-states (poleis) such as Athens have been viewed traditionally as the most advanced stage of state formation in ancient Greece. By contrast, this pioneering book argues that for some Greeks the ethnos, a regionally based ethnic group, and the koinon, or regional confederation, were equally valid units of social and political life and that these ethnic identities were astonishingly durable. Jeremy McInerney sets his study in Phokis, a region in central Greece dominated by Mount Parnassos that shared a border with the panhellenic sanctuary at Delphi. He explores how ecological conditions, land use, and external factors such as invasion contributed to the formation of a Phokian territory. Then, drawing on numerous interdisciplinary sources, he traces the history of the region from the Archaic age down to the Roman period. McInerney shows how shared myths, hero cults, and military alliances created an ethnic identity that held the region together over centuries, despite repeated invasions. He concludes that the Phokian koinon survived because it was founded ultimately on the tenacity of the smaller communities of Greece.
