And Night Descends (The Third Book of the Small Gods) by Bruce Blake Pdf

When days of peace approach their end… Without knowing the consequences, the royal siblings unwittingly put into motion an ancient plot destined to bring the return of the banished Small Gods. When Danya spoke the words on the long-forgotten scroll, the countdown began. And wounds inflicted are too deep to mend… A mysterious healer brought Teryk back from the brink of death, but at what cost? Could he still be the firstborn of the rightful king meant to prevent the fall of man? A Barren Mother… Rescued from a place she never imagined herself in, she still struggles to find her way without sight, without help. But worst of all, without faith. The Seed of Life… Hidden in a pouch at the princess’ hip, it speaks to her. But if she doesn’t understand what it says, how can she fulfill her part of destiny? Living statue… The ominous golem has found that for which it searched. The first ingredient for the return of Those Who Watch From the Sky is nearly complete and man’s time is drawing to its end. One must die to raise them all… The Evenstar’s patience grows thin, for soon the stars will fall, and then night will descend. Then he will rule again.

When Shadows Fall by Bruce Blake Pdf

An ancient prophecy threatens the return of the Small Gods to seek revenge on those who banished them a thousand years before. According to its words, only one person can stop them: the firstborn child of the rightful king. But King Erral usurped the throne decades past. For whom are the words intended? When the prince and princess discover the long-forgotten scroll, Teryk is convinced he is the savior of the kingdom and determines to fulfill his destiny. His sister is not so sure. If he is the chosen one, why is it only Danya can read the words inscribed on the parchment? And what of the other elements of the prophecy: the Barren Mother, the Living Statue, and the Man from Across the Sea? None of them can possibly exist. Teryk strikes out on his own to become the hero he is meant to be and prove his worth to his father once and for all. His desperate sister and the kingdom's one-armed champion give chase, but none of them realize the evil they've set in motion. The prince wants to save the kingdom. The princess wants to save her brother. But in a fight against the gods, who will save them all?

The Darkness Comes by Bruce Blake Pdf

When shadows fall, the darkness comes... A disgraced Goddess Mother wanders blind and alone, praying for her agony to end. When a helpful apostle finds her, could it truly by salvation, or does worse torment lie ahead? A sister struggles to understand a prophecy that may not be meant for her while her brother fights for his life. If the firstborn child of the rightful king dies, will it spell the end for everyone? Darkness and shadow creep across the land in the form of a fierce clay golem animated by its sculptor's blood. It seeks a mythical creature whose sacrifice portends the return of ancient evil banished from the world long ago. With its return will come the fall of man. As the game unfolds, the Small Gods watch from the sky, waiting for their time to come and their chance to rise again. They wait for the fall of shadows, the coming of the darkness. They wait for night to descend.

The Evenstar has ridden a ball of fire from the sky. Ine’vesi is the harbinger of the Small Gods’ return, and a reminder of the destruction inevitable in their wake. Who can yet save mankind? The man from across the sea, on whose ankle is locked a cuff with no key, can’t even remember his name. The seed of life is lost. The barren mother faithless. The living statue victorious. One thoughtless action is all it takes to set in motion the final pieces of the prophecy. One selfish decision to bring about the kingdom’s end. With the last of the prophecy’s protectors beaten, who will stand against the gods? Is this really the end of man?

Books of the Small Gods Vol. 1 by Bruce Blake Pdf

Teryk hated the boredom of being prince, sheltered and protected from the outside world. He yearned for action and adventure, like the heroes of yore, like his father, the king. When he stumbled on an ancient scroll inscribed with a prophecy, he got everything he craved, and so much more than he bargained for. The scroll speaks of non-sensical things--a barren mother, Small Gods, a Man From Across the Sea--all things that can't exist, or only do so in children's stories. All of it means nothing to the prince except one thing: the Firstborn Child of the Rightful King is prophesied to save them kingdom. He is King Errol's first born child. He sees this as his opportunity to show the king he is worthy to be his heir, to prove his worth to a father who never cared. Bolstered by the words written on the parchment, Teryk sets out to fulfil his destiny, never expecting his deeds are the catalyst to set the prophecy in motion. An ancient evil that has waited a thousand years for revenge awakens, summoning its followers to hasten its return. Only the unwitting prince stands between them and the end of the world.

The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Concise Volume B – Third Edition by Joseph Black et al. Pdf

The two-volume Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Concise Edition provides an attractive alternative to the full six-volume anthology. Though much more compact, the Concise Edition nevertheless provides substantial choice, offering both a strong selection of canonical authors and a sampling of lesser-known works. With an unparalleled selection of illustrations and of contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations, these volumes provide concise yet extraordinarily wide-ranging coverage for British Literature survey courses. New to this volume are Samuel Beckett’s Endgame and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; new authors include Dorothy Wordsworth, John Clare, Tomson Highway, Derek Walcott, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The third edition now also offers substantially expanded representation of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh literatures, as well as contextual materials on Gothic literature, Modernism, and World War II. Material that no longer appears in the bound book may in most cases be found on the companion website; many larger works are also available in separate volumes that may at the instructor’s request be bundled together with the anthology at no extra cost to the student. Features New to the Third Edition — New longer texts including Dickens’s performance reading of “David Copperfield,” Gaskell’s The Manchester Marriage, Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Beckett’s Endgame — New short selections from longer works including Eliot’s Middlemarch, Shelley’s Frankenstein, Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh, and Tennyson’s In Memoriam A.H.H. — New bound-book author entries for Dorothy Wordsworth, John Clare, Emily Brontë, Thomas de Quincey, Walter Pater, Isaac Rosenberg, Tomson Highway, Derek Walcott, Jeanette Winterson, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — New selections representing “Literary Currents in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in the Long Nineteenth Century” — New “Contexts” section on “Gothic Literature” including materials by Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, and Jane Austen — “Literature, Politics, and Cultural Identity” section includes numerous new authors and pieces, including work by Sorely MacLean, James Kelman, Gillian Clarke, Kamau Brathwaite, Kim Moore, and Warsan Shire
