Forged in Darkness by Dr. Joanna LaPrade Pdf

"Provides an archetypal frame for approaching the descent that sooner or later we all experience during dark times." – James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and bestselling author Written by an experienced psychotherapist, Forged in Darkness encourages readers to work with archetypes in mythology to stop rejecting the darkness within and instead learn to embrace it. When we search within, we inevitably find the underworld – lost connections, failed enterprises, haunting memories, insecurities and buried secrets. This book unites self-discovery with mythology, returning the underworld to its rightful place – a dreaded realm that harbours profound transformation, richness and expansion. Using archetypes from mythology, psychotherapist Dr Joanna LaPrade teaches readers that experiences of darkness are natural and necessary markers along the path of growth and discovery. We all experience darkness, and this comprehensive and accessible guide will show readers of all ages how to embrace the shadowed parts of themselves. For millennia, cultures around the world have told myths about the underworld. It is a tragedy that the only image we have in the West is that of Hercules, requiring us to be strong and defeat the shadowed parts of our life. Forged in Darkness explores the archetype Hercules represents and turns toward other heroes and gods for models of journeying into darkness. When we question, learn to accept and make sacrifices, Odysseus is present. We acknowledge Dionysus when we reconnect with what is volcanic, unrestrained and feral. We may experience Persephone as we’re abducted from our comforts and connected to a mysterious authority within.

Forge of Darkness by Steven Erikson Pdf

Now is the time to tell the story of an ancient realm, a tragic tale that sets the stage for all the tales yet to come and all those already told... It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power... and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold... Steven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now he returns with the first novel in a trilogy that takes place millennia before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and introduces readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness. It is the epic story of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in shaping the world of the Malazan Empire.

In Thunder Forged by Ari Marmell Pdf

The first novel based upon the award-winning WARMACHINE® steam-powered fantasy wargame and the world of the Iron Kingdoms® Role Playing Game is an action-packed steam-tech fantasy that combines elements of epic wartime adventure with thrilling cloak-and-dagger espionage. The Iron Kingdoms are at war--a war fought with machine guns and magic, knights of valor, and earth shaking titans of steam and steel. And now that war may hinge entirely on nothing more than a sheaf of papers. An alchemical formula, stolen by an ally they thought they could trust, could cost the brave soldiers of Cygnar everything. Their only hope: a cunning spy, a knight out of her element, and a frighteningly small unit of the best that Cygnar has to offer. Arrayed against them is not only a single, devious enemy, but the combined intelligence apparatus--and possibly the full military might--of the most brutal martial power Cygnar has ever known. © 2001 - 2013 Privateer Press, Inc.

The Helm of Darkness by A. P. Mobley Pdf

The Greek gods are real, and they've come back with a vengeance. Andy and Zoey are two normal teenagers living in the year 2018—that is, until they're knocked unconscious in a freak storm sweeping the United States. When they wake up, the world they know has been tossed away. Their city is in ruins, strange creatures walk the earth, and worst of all, everyone is gone. They stumble across Diana and Spencer, two kids around their age who possess incredible magical abilities, and who claim to be the demigod children of Greek gods. Not only that, they also claim the year is 500 AS, five hundred years after the gods conjured a massive storm that destroyed most of humanity and helped them take the world as their own once again. Andy and Zoey are soon handed an impossible task: To save humanity. To lead a war on the gods. They'll have to battle monsters, death, and their own inner demons to survive and to protect the people they love. Gods. Monsters. Magic. War on the Gods is a completed series perfect for fans of Greek mythology and dark YA fantasy. Binge it today! Praise for The Helm of Darkness: "Fabulous reading! Incredible world-building! Characters that come to life! Tons of twists, lots of action!" - Dianne at Tome Tender, ★★★★★ "Even the smallest of characters has a backstory, invoking such a love and engagement in me that it was difficult to drag myself away. I loved all of our protagonists deeply, despite their flaws and behaviours." - JK at Book Odyssey, ★★★★★ "This is the kind of book where you wonder why everyone isn't raving about it because it's the best thing since sliced bread... Mobley did a great job writing believable characters that grew over the course of the book but never strayed from their original identity. The characters in this, even minor ones, were given so much detail and show how well-thought-out the story is." - Alexia at BookishEnds, ★★★★★ "I enjoyed seeing a darker side to the Gods. Mostly in books and in real life, we picture Gods as being heavenly light and pure with good intentions. I liked how the readers for once see the greedy, hateful, controlling side as well. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next book in the series, Poseidon's Trident!" - Julia at Pages for Thoughts, ★★★★★ "For fans of Greek mythology, this story is like a treasure trove of references that is bound to satisfy your appetite." - Alessandro Reale, award-winning author of Only One Samantha, ★★★★★ "This was a fast paced, dystopian adventure that I think fans of Percy Jackson would enjoy. There are some darker elements, some instances of gore, and some twists I never saw coming, so this may be better for those fans who age out of Percy." - C.E. Clayton, author of The Monster of Selkirk series, ★★★★★ "Mobley knows how to tell a story with good pacing and that picks up on timeless themes... a great YA book which would be a solid read for anyone who reads mythology-styled fantasy. Helm of Darkness has a feel like Rick Riordan meets Stargate (the movie), or maybe Road Warrior meets Clash of Titans." - Christopher D. Schmitz at Inside the Inkwell blog and author of the Dekker's Dozen series, ★★★★★ "Author A.P Mobley has written such a unique plot that I'm actually shocked that not a lot of people know about this story. If writing about Greek mythology wasn't enough for A.P Mobley, she also placed the story in the future after the Greek Gods had taken over Earth. Isn't that interesting enough or what? Like I said before but I'll say it again, WHY ISN'T THIS BOOK WELL KNOWN BY OTHER READERS???" - P. G. Guacamole at Goodreads, ★★★★★

Forged In Darkness by Justine Celeste Fox Pdf

Even within the depths of darkness, There is a light that is not godless, A shadow stands strong to protect, The light which we may reflect. Forged in blood and fire, a newly made blade is imbued with a soul. In the written history of Eden, there was little speculation and much brutality in the truth recorded by those immortals known as chroniclers. Yet, doubt remains, for the mind is delicate and prone to madness. The Progenitors had long since lost their sanity. They sealed themselves off from the rest of Eden, leaving their great work unfinished. Work that a goddess might complete, shaping an avatar to exercise her will. Her whispers find root in an aspiring young mageknight, Solomon Dragonstar. Soon the untold truth will be revealed, and Solomon will need to choose: will he embrace his destiny or be driven into it while those around him suffer and die?
