Hound of Hades Books 1-4 by Zoe Cannon,Z.J. Cannon Pdf

Meet Mal: Unemployed. Antisocial. A god’s living weapon. The old gods are fighting for control of the modern world. But to keep their wars secret from the mortals, they need the Marked: humans ripped from their ordinary lives, gifted with divine power, and trained to work from the shadows to ensure their gods’ victory… by any means necessary. Join reluctant assassin Mal Keyne on her first four adventures as she protects New York City from Hades’s rivals, struggles to reclaim her lost humanity, and rushes in where angels fear to tread. Death Trace: It’s been ten years since Mal died. Five years since the god Hades dragged her from the underworld and forged her, through blood and pain, into his living weapon. And in five minutes, the only other agent of Hades she trusts will die… Memory Game: With Hades’s temple in ruins, Mal has a new mission—keep humanity from discovering the truth behind the attack. And Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, is happy to help. All she wants in return is one human dead… a human who happens to have the power to level entire buildings with a thought. Ghost Town: A single moment of weakness stopped Mal from closing an underworld gate. Now the city is paying the price. Two spirits are haunting the streets of Manhattan, and one of them has a body count. Night Terrors: When a plague of waking nightmares sweeps through New York, Mal’s race to save Hades’s last scrap of territory will turn her against her oldest friends, unearth a secret the gods themselves have kept buried for thousands of years, and test the limits of an alliance she thought was unshakable.

Marked by Elisabeth Naughton Pdf

THERON – Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He’s the leader of the Eternal Guardians, an elite group of warriors that defend the mortal realm. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn’t exist in real life—silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron’s duty to bring her in. But even the leader of the Guardians wasn’t strong enough to resist the pull in her fathomless eyes, to tear himself away from the heat of her body. As war with the immortal realm nears, someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice. *** All books in the Eternal Guardians series can be read in order or as stand-alones: MARKED - Book 1 ENTWINED - Book 2 TEMPTED - Book 3 ENRAPTURED - Book 4 ENSLAVED - Book 5 BOUND - Book 6 TWISTED - Book 7 RAVAGED - Novella, Book 7.5 AWAKENED - Book 8 UNCHAINED - Novella, Book 8.25 HUNTED - Novella, Book 8.5 ENSNARED - Novella, Book 8.75 and coming soon...

The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark by Dennis Ronald MacDonald,Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins Dennis R MacDonald Pdf

In this groundbreaking book, Dennis R. MacDonald offers an entirely new view of the New Testament gospel of Mark. The author of the earliest gospel was not writing history, nor was he merely recording tradition, MacDonald argues. Close reading and careful analysis show that Mark borrowed extensively from the Odyssey and the Iliad and that he wanted his readers to recognise the Homeric antecedents in Mark's story of Jesus. Mark was composing a prose anti-epic, MacDonald says, presenting Jesus as a suffering hero modeled after but far superior to traditional Greek heroes. Much like Odysseus, Mark's Jesus sails the seas with uncomprehending companions, encounters preternatural opponents, and suffers many things before confronting rivals who have made his house a den of thieves. In his death and burial, Jesus emulates Hector, although unlike Hector Jesus leaves his tomb empty. Mark's minor characters, too, recall Homeric predecessors: Bartimaeus emulates Tiresias; Joseph of Arimathea, Priam; and the women at the tomb, Helen, Hecuba, and Andromache. And, entire episodes in Mark mirror Homeric episodes, including stilling the sea, walking on water, feeding the multitudes, the Triumphal E
