Sword of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor Pdf

The new king of Camelot wears no shining armor: Arthur and his knights have fallen and a new king rules. In the darkest forest... A scared, forsaken youth has become the most powerful—and feared—man in the world. Ruthless and unrestrained, Kerrigan has long ceased to be human. In the heart of London... A spirited peasant mired in drudgery, Seren dreams of becoming her own woman, but never expects that by fleeing her fate, she will meet her destiny. Their worlds are forever changed... Kerrigan's goal is simple: barter or kill Seren to claim Arthur's Round Table. Yet she is the one person who holds no fear of him. More than that, her nobility sparks something foreign inside him. In his nether realm, kindness is weakness and a king who harbors any sort of compassion loses his throne. For countless centuries, Kerrigan has lived alone in the shadows. Now Seren's courage has forced him into the light that will bring either salvation to both of them...or death.

A Sword Into Darkness by Thomas a. Mays Pdf

"Solid adventure, intrigue and speculative space-tech, from a rising star in military science fiction."- DAVID BRIN, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of 'EXISTENCE, ' 'THE POSTMAN, ' and 'STARTIDE RISING' HUMANITY IS NO LONGER ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE. AN UNKNOWABLE THREAT APPROACHES EARTH . . . AND WE ARE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED TO FACE WHAT'S COMING. Aerospace tycoon Gordon Elliot Lee cannot stand idly by while a mysterious alien presence from Delta Pavonis bears down upon mankind's only home. Shut out from NASA and military support, Gordon is forced to go it alone, to sow the seeds for an entirely new sort of planetary defense: a space-based naval force. Joined by Nathan Kelley -- a bloodied naval warrior, scarred by his own actions in the waters off North Korea -- and Kris Munoz -- an avant garde scientific genius with more ideas than sense -- these three will scour the very edges of fringe science and engineering to attempt development of Earth's first space navy in time to oppose the Deltan invasion. Beset by ridicule, government obstruction, industrial espionage, and their own personal demons, it will take a miracle just to get off the ground. But the challenges on Earth are nothing compared to what awaits them in space. Against an unknown alien enemy with vastly superior technology, a handful of human scientists and warriors must become the sword that holds the darkness at bay. MISSILES WILL FLASH, RAILGUNS WILL RUMBLE, LASERS WILL BURN, AND DEFENDERS WILL DIE. IF THEY FAIL, OUR END IS AT HAND. "There are brilliant first contact stories, great space combat stories, and amazing stories of technological discovery. Rarely do you find all three in the same novel. Remember the name Thomas A. Mays. You're going to be seeing it on the bestseller list."- JEFF EDWARDS, Award-winning author of 'SEA OF SHADOWS, ' and 'THE SEVENTH ANGEL' "Sharply written, suspenseful and tightly plotted, A SWORD INTO DARKNESS reads like the best Tom Clancy novels, with a science fiction heart provided by Arthur C. Clark. Can't wait to read more from Thomas Mays "- GRAHAM BROWN, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of 'ZERO HOUR, ' 'BLACK RAIN, ' and 'THE EDEN PROPHECY'

The Swords of Darkness by Swarnim Pdf

A cadre of four siblings, three boys and one girl, the eldest being Ichiro, a boy of 13, live without their parents in Serran, the capital of The Spirit Island as their parents are sailors and hardly ever meet them. Everything goes well. But of course, only as long as god wants it to. On his thirteenth birthday Ichiro receives a letter and a gift apparently from their parents. The letter claims their parents to be dead and the gift being the fabled spirit fruits. There are instead four metallic spheres in the box. Definitely not something a human can digest. None of them believes the letter, but when Ayami, the youngest of the four, takes a bite from one of those four supposed-to-be-fruits, and Ichiro follows, they are gifted with supernatural powers. Following the instructions of the letter, they then start training with the newly-gifted powers and on Ichiros fourteenth birthday, set off on a journey to revive their parents by defeating the evil soul, the one that has managed to keep the Spirit God a captive. To become worthy opponents of the evil soul, they have to go through twelve forts at each of which they have to defeat a guardian, most of who arent even humans, and thus obtain more spirit fruits, each one making them stronger. The guardian of the very first fort is an immortal genius and renders the siblings powerless, literally, though a machine called the disc of power. Will they fight through it all? Alone? Definitely not. With some help? Who knows.

Sword of the Dark Ones by Kotobuki Tsukasa,Yasui Kentaro Pdf

In a late-medieval world, between the mountains and sea, the peaceful lifestyle of the people has been shattered by fear. Monsters known as the Dark Ones, roam the land, killing indiscriminately. The townsfolk fear to venture out from their homes, and travel from town to town has become a risk to life and limb. To protect the people from this terror, several guilds have sprung up, including the Guild of Assasins and the Guild of Mercenaries. To go out into the world or travel across the wilderness, hired mercenaries are essential. One man has built a reputation as an especially fierce monster-killer -- a man known as Leroy Schvartzer. A former high-ranking member of the Guild of Mercenaries, Leroy has struck out on his own. Many try to hire him for his superior skills, but Leroy has his own agenda. He has a mission to accomplish, a vow to fulfill. This vow is known only to himself and his one companion: his sentient long-sword Ragnarok.

Sword in the Darkness by Paolo Bicchieri Pdf

Sword in the Darkness is a West Coast misadventure. Three teens find themselves thrust into a mythological power struggle spanning countries and cultures. Through no mere coincidence, all three are drawn to Brewer's Yawn, a recently and bizarrely formed cave in the Deschutes Forest of Central Oregon. There they meet Archibald and Shanna, owners and operators of "The Ore-gone-ian" cafe, who guide them along the way. They discover a sword hidden in the cave that is powerful enough to shape reality. But other forces want the magical artifact, too. The travelers will have to realize their power to stop the malevolent King Karrabad and escape his lair, with the help of some Klamath Native legends. Along the way, they see that they may have had the power to shape their worlds before they ever stumbled into Brewer's Yawn. Fans of The Vicious Deep, The Lightning Thief, Brooklyn Brujas, Godless, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian will enjoy.

Knight of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor Pdf

For countless centuries, I've been the assassin for the infamous Merlin, even though the woman who birthed me sits at the right hand of our enemy, Morgen le Fey. Now both my mother and Morgen have decided that it's time I take my place on their side of this conflict. Normally, telling them no wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that the good guys I protect think that I'm an even worse demon than the ones we fight. Hmm, maybe they're right. I have to say that I do enjoy maiming anyone who gets in my way. At least until my mother gives me a simple choice: join Morgen's Circle of the Damned or see an innocent woman die. I'm all for saving the innocent, but Merewyn isn't as innocent as she seems. And she's none too fond of the fact that her fate is in my dubious hands. Personally I'm all for taking the easy way out, but leaving her to Morgen is rough, even for me. Now the only way to save both our lives is to face the evilest forces ever known—my mother and Morgen. And two people who know nothing of trust must learn to rely on each other or die: provided we don't kill each other first.
