Return from Legend by William N. Kyle Pdf

Enden has been peaceful for many years except for the few border raids by the Races of Chaos, mostly by the Saurians. In the background are the Elden, a race of warriors who opposed Chaos on rare occasions. So rare that the Elden have been considered just a legend. The Elden Warlord, Cahan MacHaimheirgin, is given information about the new Saurian Outposts that are being built. Although the Saurians give the appearance of just fortifying their border there are strong indications the outposts are much more than they appear. At a meeting of the leaders of the Races of Order, the Elden are requested to reoccupy their old Holds, vacant for five hundred years, and reestablish a presence that could deter a Saurian invasion that would plunge Enden into war. The Bursh, a race of sorcerers, allied with the Races of Chaos, are concerned about a Saurian invasion as well for it could endanger the future Master Plan of World Conquest, a plan that is sponsored by the Race of Demons, leaders of Chaos. The plan could fail if the Elden reestablish a presence. The Bursh need to find the Holds and a way to neutralize them and the Elden.

Rebel by Marie Lu Pdf

Respect the Legend. Idolize the Prodigy. Celebrate the Champion. But never underestimate the Rebel. With unmatched suspense and her signature cinematic storytelling, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Marie Lu plunges readers back into the unforgettable world of Legend for a truly grand finale. Eden Wing has been living in his brother’s shadow for years. Even though he’s a top student at his academy in Ross City, Antarctica, and a brilliant inventor, most people know him only as Daniel Wing’s little brother. A decade ago, Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. But Day is no longer the same young man who was once a national hero. These days he’d rather hide out from the world and leave his past behind. All that matters to him now is keeping Eden safe—even if that also means giving up June, the great love of Daniel’s life. As the two brothers struggle to accept who they’ve each become since their time in the Republic, a new danger creeps into the distance that’s grown between them. Eden soon finds himself drawn so far into Ross City’s dark side, even his legendary brother can’t save him. At least not on his own . . .

King Arthur's Modern Return by Debra N. Mancoff Pdf

The Arthurian legend closes with a promise: On a distant day, when his country calls, the king will return. His lost realm will be regained, and his shattered dream of an ideal world will, at last, be realized. This collection of original essays explores the issue of return in the modern Arthurian legend. With an Introduction by noted scholar Raymond H. Thompson and 13 essays by authors from the fields of literature, art history, film history, and folklore, this collection reveals the flexibility of the legend. Just as the modern legend takes the form current to its generation, the myth of return generates a new legend with each telling. As these authors show, return can come in the form of a noble king or a Caribbean immigrant, with the mystery of an art theft or a dying boy's dream.

The Cambridge Companion to the Arthurian Legend by Elizabeth Archibald,Ad Putter Pdf

For more than a thousand years, the adventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have been retold across Europe. They have inspired some of the most important works of European literature, particularly in the medieval period: the romances of Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. In the nineteenth century, interest in the Arthurian legend revived with Tennyson, Wagner and Twain. This Companion outlines the evolution of the legend from the earliest documentary sources to Spamalot, and analyses how some of the major motifs of the legend have been passed down in both medieval and modern texts. With a map of Arthur's Britain, a chronology of key texts and a guide to further reading, this volume itself will contribute to the continuing fascination with the King and his many legends.
