Will Sorch recover in time to save his allies from the plane of Pandemonium? Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity every time they cast a spell.

During his travels he encounters more horrible injury, more magical treasures, casual love, noisy roommates, wild elves, university midterms, a plot against all of Panos, and then of course he saves the world.

Will Sorch allow his son to follow in his dangerous footsteps to attempt a final, desperate gambit to save Panos? After destroying the possessed Voodoo Engine that threatened to enslave his tribe and start the next Great War, Sorch took some much needed time away from the peril of adventure. In the two years that followed, he finished his arcane education and learned to be a real father to his recently discovered son, Benno. But the world wasn't done with Sorch and his family just yet. Drought, flooding, and deadly creatures driven up from the depths of the earth itself threatened to destroy cities and towns all over the world. It would take the two smartest orcs on Panos, and all of their brave friends, to discover the forces that threatened to tear the planet apart. In a race against time, Sorch is forced to lead his family into unparalleled danger. During his travels he encounters even more horrible injury, even more magical treasures, yetis, the power of fatherhood, frightening schoolchildren, an ancient threat to all of Panos, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he?

Running with the Demon by Terry Brooks Pdf

In Running with the Demon, Terry Brooks does nothing less than revitalize fantasy fiction, inventing the complex and powerful new mythos of the Word and the Void, good versus evil still, but played out in the theater-in-the-round of the “real world” of our present. On the hottest Fourth of July weekend in decades, two men have come to Hopewell, Illinois, site of a lengthy, bitter steel strike. One is a demon, dark servant of the Void, who will use the anger and frustration of the community to attain a terrible secret goal. The other is John Ross, a Knight of the Word, a man who, while he sleeps, lives in the hell the world will become if he fails to change its course on waking. Ross has been given the ability to see the future. But does he have the power to change it? At stake is the soul of a fourteen-year-old girl mysteriously linked to both men. And the lives of the people of Hopewell. And the future of the country. This Fourth of July, while friends and families picnic in Sinnissippi Park and fireworks explode in celebration of freedom and independence, the fate of Humanity will be decided . . . A novel that weaves together family drama, fading innocence, cataclysm, and enlightenment, Running with the Demon will forever change the way you think about the fantasy novel. As believable as it is imaginative, as wondrous as it is frightening, it is a rich, exquisitely-written tale to be savored long after the last page is turned.

Devilish Deal by Jenna Wolfhart Pdf

Last month, I was living out of my car. Now, I'm couch-surfing in Brooklyn. It's about as glamorous as it sounds. All I've got are some bad memories, an empty bank account, and a pigeon I named Hendrix. So, when a mysterious, sinfully hot man offers me a deal, I have no choice but to accept. I'll pretend to be his live-in girlfriend for a month. In exchange, he'll give me a job at his exclusive club in Hell's Kitchen. Only problem is, there's way more to Asmodeus than meets the eye. He's a literal demon. Like, from the underworld. He's rude, dangerous, and probably a killer. But if I break my deal with him, I'll lose my soul. Fortunately, it's just a month. A month of heated stares and fake kisses that feel all too real. My soul-and my body-can totally survive this...right?
