An Emerald Tale by Christopher Corbell Pdf

Once upon a time, there was a castle with huge arches and tall golden towers that reached high above the cobble stone walkways toward the open blue sky. In this peaceful land lived the king’s best man Neil with a legend to tell of more than five hundred years. Followed by the brave and pushed forward by the arms of future peace for all in his kingdom, he carried the mighty torch of peace for all. Far to the edge of the Green Sea was the west end of the Mystic Mountains. This was believed to be a different land. There lived the one who commands the shadows of darkness, evil sorcery, and the never-ending quest for chaos. Once loved by many yet misled by the temptations of power and greed, he felt deep into the jaws of evil and the forces of pain, corruption, and decay. This dark sorcerer was not just a villain but a powerful warden of the wicked and the face of death to the pure. Argon was his name, and he was now the emperor of his own sinister world! There is a storm brewing, accompanied by thunder and lighting, as I narrate this tale. This is a tale of good versus evil and their amazing battle to come. Enjoy!

The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens Pdf

"A strong . . . trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."—Realms of Fantasy Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage. Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about. Until now. Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right. "A new Narnia for the tween set."—The New York Times "[A] fast-paced, fully imagined fantasy."—Publishers Weekly "Echoes of other popular fantasy series, from "Harry Potter" to the "Narnia" books, are easily found, but debut author Stephens has created a new and appealing read . . ."—School Library Journal, Starred Review

Tales of the Emerald Triangle by Kevin Stewart Pdf

Deliverance meets The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with a good buzz on! Green-bud and greenbacks, from San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to the lush but rugged Northern California back-country, Tales of the Emerald Triangle: Memoirs of a Marijuana Grower flies off the page, spinning a fictionalized account of America’s premier marijuana growing region. The book is an intimate look at the lifestyle of the men and women who labor in the fields of this burgeoning (thought illicit) industry. Fresh-faced, if slightly disenfranchised, Duncan Easley attempts to carve out an existence where pot plants grow as fast as Kansas corn. But the world of fast money, fast women, and burly 4x4s comes with a price; animosity and anxiety grow quickly as well. Success breeds resentment, rip-offs lurk in the shadows, and increasingly corrupt law enforcement officials rush in to grab what they can. A man’s business, his freedom, or his life can disappear as quickly as a puff of smoke. If you ever wondered how world-class marijuana gets to market, and why it costs upwards of $5,000 per pound when it arrives, then read this book.

Under the Emerald Sky by Juliane Weber Pdf

Among the stark contrasts that separate the rich few from the plentiful poor, Under the Emerald Sky is a tale of love and betrayal in a land teetering on the brink of disaster - the Great Famine that would forever change the course of Ireland's history.It's 1843 and the English nobleman Quinton Williams has come to Ireland to oversee the running of his father's ailing estate and escape his painful past. Here he meets the alluring Alannah O'Neill, whose Irish family is one of few to have retained ownership of their land, the rest having been supplanted by the English over the course of the country's bloody history. Finding herself drawn to the handsome Englishman, Alannah offers to help Quin communicate with the estate's Gaelic-speaking tenants, as much to assist him as to counter her own ennui. Aware of her controlling brother's hostility towards the English, she keeps her growing relationship with Quin a secret - a secret that cannot, however, be kept for long from those who dream of ridding Ireland of her English oppressors.
