The Night Birds by Thomas Maltman Pdf

A “luminously written and harrowing” historical saga of three generations of German immigrants to the Midwest (Minneapolis Star Tribune). “Set in the 1860s and ’70s, Maltman’s superb debut evokes a Midwest lacerated by clashes between European and Native American, slaveowner and abolitionist, killer and healer, nature and culture. Asa Senger, a lonely 14-year-old boy, is at first wary when his father’s sister, Hazel, arrives at his parents’ Minnesota home after a long stay in a faraway asylum, but he comes to cherish the mysterious Hazel’s warmth and company. Through her stories, Asa learns of his family’s bitter past: the lore and dreams of their German forebears, their place in the bitter divide over slavery and, most complex of all, the bond between Hazel and the Dakotan warrior Wanikiya that deepens despite the violence between their peoples. Maltman excels at giving even his most harrowing scenes an understated realism and at painting characters who are richly, sometimes disturbingly, human. The novel sustains its tension right to the moment it ends.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “We all set our sights on the Great American Novel . . . [Thomas Maltman] comes impressively close to laying his hands on the grail.” —The Boston Globe

Nightbirds by Kate J. Armstrong Pdf

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • In a dazzling new fantasy world full of whispered secrets and political intrigue, the magic of women is outlawed but four girls with unusual powers have the chance to change it all. Magic is illegal in Simta, but for the right price, the wealthy can always partake. They need only procure a visit with a Nightbird, girls who can gift their rare powers with a kiss. Usually a tight-knit group, this Season’s Nightbirds couldn’t be more different. Matilde, the group’s veteran, relishes the feeling of power and freedom she thinks her Nightbird status affords, but rebels against her family’s growing expectation that she finally choose a suitor and pass her magic on to the next generation; fiery orphan Sayer, resigned to this life as a means to support herself, resents each transaction and the world Matilde so reveres; and novice Æsa, fears her own magic and thinks her very existence is a sin. But when the Nightbirds find themselves at the heart of a deadly political scheme that shakes the world as they know it, they must put their differences aside and band together to fend off those who would exploit them. In doing so, they discover their magic is more powerful than they could have ever imagined, and they see the Nightbirds system for what it is: a gilded cage. United, they are a potent force that could upend the patriarchal system that would hunt them as witches. But wielding their power could cost them more than they are prepared to lose. They must make a choice: to remain kept birds or take control, remaking the city that dared to clip their wings. Fiercely feminist and set in a thrilling, intoxicating world evoking the Jazz Age—full of speakeasies with magic cocktails, sharp-edged, duplicitous glamour, and handsome rogue alchemists—Nightbirds is an exciting debut fantasy that dazzles as powerful girls emerge from the shadows to determine their own fates.

Nightbirds by Lawrence M. James Pdf

Nightbirds is the graphic and violent story of a serial killer and two FBI agents who are trying to stop him before he becomes the most prolific serial killer in United States history. Driven by events that occurred many years before and a perspective that requires his own form of brutal redemption, the killer quickly targets and murders each victim, leaving behind a body and a signature in the trophy he takes from each of them. The principal characters include Lou Mark (a relatively young FBI agent with a unique gift), Tom Anglen (an experienced FBI agent who has worked in the Serial Killer Division for twenty years), their families, the victims, and the killer. Mark and Anglen track the serial killer from one city to another through the women he chooses, all of whom are strikingly similar in age and appearance. At each crime scene, as Mark and Anglen see what appears to have been consensual sex, followed almost immediately by a savage murder, they realize that they have to understand the legend of the nightbirds to catch the killer. The author is working on a sequel to Nightbirds, which should be available later this year.

Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? by Anita Rau Badami Pdf

Longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award Anita Rau Badami's acclaimed novel Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? chronicles the stories of three women, linked in love and tragedy, over a span of fifty years, sweeping from the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 to the explosion of Air India flight 182 off the coast of Ireland in 1985. Alive with Badami's warmth and humanity, and brimming with the daily sights and sounds of both Canada and India, this novel brilliantly conveys the tumultuous effects of the past on new immigrants, and the ways in which memory and myth, the personal and the political, become heartrendingly connected.

Nightbird by Paul J. Sweeney Pdf

The Amar discovered Earth in 2644 BC, arrogantly taking specimens, human and animal, back to their home world. They also took their doommeasleswhich claimed 89 percent of their population. Cities died; continents died. A single planetary culture arises as the Amar recreate their society. The humans, the sole occupants of a dead continent, survive, reproduce, and create their own society. When discovered, the humans are too numerous to repatriate to Earth. The Amar adopt them into their society. When the Amar can again space-travel, the humans are denied repatriation as, now technologically advanced, they would disrupt the independent development of Earth.

Co-opting Amars humans, he promises to unleash viral destruction on Earth. With Earths population decimated and the planets ecology saved, the humans of Amar could return. Kargon and a coconspirator escape, only to crash in outback Australia. Here they are still able to concoct a scenario that will bring about their goal. An Amar recovery team sent to apprehend the renegades meets problems of their own. Aided by Chris and Mark, they arrange their rescue. The encounter terrifies Chris, though Mark burns to visit Amar, using his aid as a bargaining chip to be invited. Mark departs for Amar. Once there, he must negotiate the political machinations and cultural differences while unraveling Kargons plan.

Unhonored by Tracy Hickman,Laura Hickman Pdf

Unhonored is the second book in the intriguing gothic novel in the Nightbirds series from the partnerships of New York Times best selling author Tracy Hickman and Laura Hickman. This gothic fantasy series begins with Unwept. Ellis Harkington is trapped in limbo between life and death, struggling to escape the domination of an evil force masquerading as her friend, Merrick. Only Ellis has ever escaped him, and now that she has discovered the truth, he wants to make sure she can never escape again. Merrick's dark power has turned the seaside town of Gamin, Maine, into a place of nightmares. The town is transformed into a decaying succession of infinite rooms, bottomless stairwells, and boundless corridors filled with never-ending masquerades, balls, and banquets. Each pageant is about the life Ellis lived before her return—each revelation more terrifying than the last. Ellis is desperate to find her missing cousin and leave, but there is no exit from the House of Dreams except, perhaps, through a séance to contact the living.

Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon Pdf

Murder sparks witchcraft hysteria in this “thoughtful” and “entertaining” seventeenth-century historical mystery from a New York Times–bestselling author (Stephen King). It’s 1699 in the coastal settlement of Fount Royal in the Carolinas when Rachel Howarth is sentenced to be hanged as a witch. She’s been accused of murder, deviltry, and blasphemous sexual congress, and the beleaguered, God-fearing colonial village wants her dead. But Matthew Corbett, young clerk to the traveling magistrate summoned to Fount Royal to weigh the accusations, soon finds himself persuaded in favor of the beguiling young widow. Struck first by her beauty, Matthew believes Rachel to be too dignified, courageous, and intelligent for such obscene charges. The testimony against her is fanatical and unreliable. Clues to the crimes seem too convenient and contrived. A number of her accusers appear to gain by her execution. And, if Rachel is a witch, why hasn’t she used her powers to fly away from the gaol on the wings of a nightbird? God and Satan are indeed at war. Something really is happening in the newly established settlement—of that Corbett is certain. As his investigation draws him into the darkness of a town gone mad, and deeper into its many secrets, Corbett realizes that time is running out for him, for Rachel, and for the hope that good could possibly win out over evil in Fount Royal. From the award-winning author of Boy’s Life and Gone South, Speaks the Nightbird is an “absorbing historical mystery” (Publishers Weekly).
