Daughter of Rage and Beauty by Amy Pennza Pdf

The sagas claim you can't fight fate. I'm determined to prove them wrong. They say your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life. Clearly, they don't know what they're talking about. Because right now, my life is in shambles. As the daughter of one of the most powerful berserkers in the world, I should be taking my place among the noble guild of berserker assassins. By now, I should have mastered my emotions and conquered my rage-all the better to use it as a weapon when called upon to kill. But I'm not just Harald Berregaard's daughter. My mother was a nymph, which makes me a magical mutt. When I was born, my father thought I might possess the best traits from both races. He was wrong. Now he's shipping me off to the Berserker Academy, where the unofficial motto is "graduate or die." Nice, huh? With the stakes this high, I can't afford to get distracted. Too bad the academy's headmaster keeps showing up at the most inconvenient moments, reminding me how much I suck at magic. And fighting. And basic conversation. It doesn't matter that he does it with a smile. Or that his eyes fire silver when he's amused . . . or aroused. Hauk Sigridsson has his own problems. He's not going to be one of mine. On the other hand, he's offered me a way to accelerate my studies and make it out of the academy alive. I just have to help him steal a priceless rock and defeat one of the most powerful immortals to have ever lived. No big deal. I'm in way over my head, but I'm determined to survive. They say you can't fight fate. I'm going to show fate exactly what I'm made of.

Zürich 95: Open Questions in Analytical Psychology by Mary Ann Mattoon Pdf

The Zurich Congress marked a return to the origins of Analytical Psychology: here it was that C.G. Jung lived for the first six decades of this century and developed the school of psychology he came to be known for. Here, too, is where many of today's Jungian analysts from all over the world received their training, and their initiation into the profession. As this collection of the complete proceedings attests, the theme of open questions drew a bountiful array of intriguing responses, and this to the largest gathering of Jungian analysts ever: more than 800 in all.

Beauty's Daughter by Eustacia Tan Pdf

What happens when your ‘Happily Ever After’ is a lie? Queen Beauty and King Charming lived happily ever after. At least, until the birth of their daughter. Despite their invitations, none of the fairies show up to give the princess a name-blessing, something Beauty is determined her daughter should receive. Rashly, she decrees that her daughter will either have a name-blessing or no name at all. With that one decision, she unwittingly casts a dark shadow over the land. Growing up, the princess shared her mother's dream of getting a name-blessing, but that's the only thing that they have in common. For everything else, there's the Lady in the Mirror. The Lady listens to her, and unlike her father, isn't afraid to criticise her mother, Beauty. After many years of waiting, the fairies are finally coming, and the princess will do anything to get her name-blessing. Anything

Blow Your House Down by Gina Frangello Pdf

A Good Morning America Recommended Book • A BuzzFeed Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A Lit Hub Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A Rumpus Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A Bustle Most Anticipated Book of the Month "A pathbreaking feminist manifesto, impossible to put down or dismiss. Gina Frangello tells the morally complex story of her adulterous relationship with a lover and her shortcomings as a mother, and in doing so, highlights the forces that shaped, silenced, and shamed her: everyday misogyny, puritanical expectations regarding female sexuality and maternal sacrifice, and male oppression." —Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild Game Gina Frangello spent her early adulthood trying to outrun a youth marked by poverty and violence. Now a long-married wife and devoted mother, the better life she carefully built is emotionally upended by the death of her closest friend. Soon, awakened to fault lines in her troubled marriage, Frangello is caught up in a recklessly passionate affair, leading a double life while continuing to project the image of the perfect family. When her secrets are finally uncovered, both her home and her identity will implode, testing the limits of desire, responsibility, love, and forgiveness. Blow Your House Down is a powerful testimony about the ways our culture seeks to cage women in traditional narratives of self-sacrifice and erasure. Frangello uses her personal story to examine the place of women in contemporary society: the violence they experience, the rage they suppress, the ways their bodies often reveal what they cannot say aloud, and finally, what it means to transgress "being good" in order to reclaim your own life.

The Ballad of Samuel Hewitt by Nick Tooke Pdf

June 1934: the depths of the Great Depression. Reckless with anger and spoiling for a fight, seventeen-year-old Samuel Hewitt and his Shuswap friend Charleyboy conspire to steal a prize stallion and disappear into the blistered, unforgiving terrain of British Columbia’s Thompson River Valley. The boys are looking for a fresh start—and for somewhere to belong. But what they find is a hardscrabble existence enlivened by ruthless criminals and boxcar bums ... until they come upon the denizens of a once-majestic travelling circus struggling to survive in an era in which even marvels have lost their capacity to charm. In this surreal, ramshackle environment, Samuel develops an unexpected kinship with the failing ringmaster and his enigmatic daughter. But violence and treachery are prevalent in the shadows of the Big Top, and Samuel may well find himself on the run once more. In The Ballad of Samuel Hewitt, Nick Tooke presents an uncommon coming-of-age story as well as a thoughtful examination of the meaning of home and family.

An abomination came in the middle of the night.Death and destruction followed in his wake.The sun fell from the sky and has yet to return.I am now trapped in a world where the savage and corrupt rule, my life has been compromised.He stole my crown with bloodstained hands and claimed me as his queen.Reyes Straykova is seductively cruel.Volatile and ruthless, a vicious beast.His sinister game has just begun.Bow to the king and watch chaos reign.Beauty & Rage is a prequel for the Broken Crowns series. This is a twisted PNR series not meant for the faint of heart. Contains explicit steam and various dark themes.
