The Gauntlet and the Fist Beneath by Ian Green Pdf

For 312 years the rotstorm has blighted the ruins of the Ferron Empire. Born of an unholy war between gods themselves, it scours the land with acid mists and deadly lightning, spawning twisted monstrosities from its nightmarish depths. On the Stormwall, the men and women of the Stormguard maintain their vigil - eyes sharp, blade sharper - defending the Undal Protectorate from the worst of the rotstorm's corruption. But behind the stormfront, something is stirring, kindling the embers of an ancient conflict and a plan to kill a god. Will Stormguard steel be enough to meet the coming tempest? *** Sergeant Floré Artollen patrols the wind-gnarled pines of Hookstone Forest for the Watch. But it wasn't always so. She spent years on the wall with the Stormguard, face to face with the bloodshed and horror of the rotstorm. With the storm now far beyond her western horizon, here she has a new life, a home, a husband and a daughter. But when roving lights descend from night skies, bright orbs of silver fire in the night, Floré's village is devastated, her husband mortally wounded and her daughter abducted. To get her back, Floré will have to take up her longsword and silvered dagger, don the guard's heavy metal plate gauntlets and step back into the storm.

Zekel by L. P. Cowling Pdf

Zekel is the new action-packed YA monster-slaying fantasy from LP Cowling, that follows a high-ranking guildmember and renowned rogue, as he buys his way through life slaying one beastie after another. Brought to infamy following the defeat of a guildmember gone rogue that attempted to bring to life a god of destruction, Zekel now finds himself in the middle of civil unrest that threatens to tear his livelihood apart. But in the meantime, the troubles of the world go on, and Zekel tries to make as much money as possible before the institution he serves, is torn apart at the seams. One week the public mood is threatening to destroy the guild, for the fear of their magical members upsetting their peaceful lives. The next week the public mood is that magic is of such a necessity for quality of life, that even the mention of outlawing magic would be madness and chaos. Both weeks Zekel took jobs, and both weeks Zekel got paid.

Paris 1961 by Jim House,Neil MacMaster Pdf

The massacre of Algerian demonstrators by the Paris police on the night of 17 October 1961 is one of the most contested events in contemporary French history. This book provides a multi-layered investigation of the repression through a critical examination of newly opened archives, oral sources, the press and contemporary political movements and debates. The roots of violence are traced back to counter-insurgency techniques developed by the French military in North Africa and introduced into Paris to crush the independence movement among Algerian migrant workers. The study shows how and why this event was rapidly expunged from public visibility in France, but was kept alive by immigrant and militant minorities, to resurface in a dramatic form after the 1980s. Through this case-study the authors explore both the dynamics of state terror as well as the complex memorial processes by which these events continue to inform and shape post-colonial society.
