Rise of the Winged Assassin by Dodie Huber Pdf

Born into a winged warrior race, Lorelei knows how to wield a sword. Now that she is seventeen, her swordsmanship is tested, and when she passes, she’s removed from her family for further training to prepare for war. But deep underneath the surface, she faces a greater threat, more formidable than their enemy, the Toraveru. Exposure to battle has awakened a deep-seated psychological disease that will prey upon her emotions, challenge her loyalties, twist her morals, and breed an unquenchable thirst for violence. The elders call it the Renai, and they believe there’s only one cure for the infected: death by execution. As she struggles to fight against the disease, Lorelei’s strength and resolve begin to wane, but she finds hope when she’s sought out by Airik, a dangerously infected, exiled mercenary who tells her the urges she’s struggling to restrain can be forged into powerful abilities that have been suppressed by centuries of executions. Shaken by the truth, Lorelei begins to question what she’s been told about the disease, about the cure, and about the motivations of her honor-bound race. In order to survive, she must place her life and trust in the hands of dangerous allies and learn to wield the power of the Renai before it’s too late.

Rebel Lions by Michael McClure Pdf

Rebel Lions, Michael McClure's first book of poetry since the retrospective Selected Poems (1985), spans a decade of profound personal change and poetic evolution for the author. In an introductory note, he provides a backdrop for the collection, which moves from old life to new. McClure's work bursts forth from the matrix of the physical and spiritual. "Poetry is one of the edges of consciousness," he asserts. "And consciousness is a real thing like the hoof of a deer or the smell of a bush of blackberries at the roadside in the sun." In the first section of Rebel Lions, "Old Flames," the poems range from the realistic ("Awakening and Recalling a Summer Hike") to the metaphorical ("The Silken Stitching"), as the poet addresses a life on the verge of transformation. The second section, "Rose Rain," exults in a life transformed through love's alchemy. Rebel Lions closes with "New Brain," poems affirming the freedom of all humankind and matter in the eternal now.

ARCHON RISING Trilogy Box Set (Books 1 - 3) by Risa Fey Pdf

BOOK ONE: ROGUE DEMON They say it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven... But Enzo’s not so sure anymore. Haunted by the horrors of his fall, Enzo, a demon agent of the Fel, smothers the angst of his impending damnation by indulging in vice with no regard to who it wrecks. But the dreadlord has given him a new assignment: infiltrate the enemy sect of demons known as the Unfallen and recover their captured ally, Lorcan, the alpha of Atro City’s pack. The mission goes according to plan, until he falls in love with someone he should hate. Or at the very least use and destroy. Blindsided by emotions he never thought were possible to feel, Enzo must blend in with his enemies and decide which side of the holy war he’s really on—even though he’s damned no matter what he chooses. With angelic lore inspired by Milton’s Paradise Lost and The Book of Enoch… This magical & macabre urban fantasy features a brooding, BMX-riding antihero who wants nothing to do with the forces of good unless it suits him. ~ BOOK TWO: SELFISH ANGEL Ex-skinhead and drug dealer Hewey Steps puts his sordid past behind him to begin his new life as a magic-wielding agent of the Unfallen. But Lorcan’s Pack wants revenge on his demon partner, Enzo, who still refuses to accept his rulership as archon—since waking the fallen angel’s dormant power could spell disaster for anyone who gets in his way, especially those who dare to threaten the woman he loves. Hewey and Enzo grapple with the vile sins of their past, as an insidious threat lurks in the bustling hallways at Stillwater, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike… And it’s an enemy that cannot be touched. Old habits and prejudices die hard in this heart-stopping addition to the Archon Rising trilogy. Featuring a dynamic cast of morally gray characters, thrilling action, tortured romance, and diabolic scenes reminiscent of the gritty cult-classic American History X… Delve into this horror-fantasy world today! ~ BOOK THREE: BROKEN ARCHON The enemy archon has awakened, and Enzo must take up his crown to put a stop to the looming threat infesting Atro City. But his fiercely loyal partner, Hewey, is preoccupied with his own problems after being reconnected with his troubled high-school sweetheart, as well as the racist Skeads he once fought for. And with Enzo’s wife bucking against the corruptive influence of misused fellcraft and an unlikely paramour, the morally conflicted demon is angrier than ever and more susceptible to the relentless mania induced by the use of his archon magic. Emotionally compelling, with intense gritty action and gorgeously macabre departures into Lovecraftian horror. Complete your journey into this brutal urban fantasy series today!

Culture, Innovation, and Growth Dynamics by Elias G. Carayannis,Ali Pirzadeh Pdf

This book argues that ideas in the social realm are the context-bound products of distinct histories and cultures and thus cannot be co-opted across place and time. When ideas are used out of context, they become mere empty words that are depicted as absolute ideals, independent of the specific historical circumstances in which they were conceived. Therefore, highly ideologically guidelines based on one-size-fits-all principles are doomed to fail. The book emphasizes that the dominant Western intellectual paradigm has not improved human society in either Western or non-Western parts of the world. Some of the book's objectives are to rethink the dominant paradigm and invent a new world. We face an existential crisis that requires a new vision of the world and its well-being: one that is more inclusive and attentive to the diversity of people, histories, and cultures. We must remember that diversity in beliefs and values is the very essence of our humanity. This seminal work is essential reading for researchers of economic growth and development, political science, and innovation.

Wings of Shadow by Nicki Pau Preto Pdf

In the heart-stopping finale to the Crown of Feathers trilogy, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake calls “absolutely unforgettable,” Veronyka must face her most devastating enemy yet: her own sister. I had a sister, once… ​Veronyka is no longer an orphaned stable boy or a nameless Phoenix Rider apprentice: she is the daughter of Pheronia Ashfire, the last queen of the Golden Empire…and the niece of Avalkyra Ashfire, the resurrected rebel queen who tore the empire apart. We shone brightly, burned fiercely. Now that the secret is out, everyone at the Eyrie treats Veronyka differently, and with Tristan still a hostage of the scheming Lord Rolan—and Sev with him as a spy—Veronyka feels very much alone. Except for her beloved phoenix, Xephyra, of course, and her new friend, Kade, who has his own reasons for wanting to save Tristan. Was it always going to come down to this? Sister against sister? Darkness against light? Veronyka is determined to do whatever it takes to get Tristan back, even if that means revealing her identity to the world and inheriting a throne she’s not sure she wants. But when she discovers that Avalkyra has bonded with a strix—a legendary creature of darkness that feeds off the life force of others—Veronyka realizes she has more to deal with than an encroaching war with the empire. Val is willing to destroy everything to get her revenge on a world that rejected her, and if Veronyka wants to bring peace to the empire and Pyra alike, she must face down her sister once and for all. The world began with Ashfire queens…perhaps they will also be its destruction.
