The Queen Maker by Kristen Gupton Pdf

Raised the daughter of an indentured servant, Thana Leoram has brought King Keiran Sipesh to his knees. The vampire is willing to break the law to pursue their forbidden love, and she is ready to give in to her desires. Before they get the chance, though, word of an invasion by the Sador Empire arrives. The young and untested king marches off to war, leaving Thana behind. However, Thana’s mother will do anything to stop her daughter’s relationship with the vampire, and with him gone, a plan is put into motion that will force Thana from the castle in fear for her life. Not knowing who else to trust, Thana flees to find Keiran, following him into the fray. Though she only sought sanctuary, she becomes the central prize of the war itself. A Sadori general realizes Thana is far more precious than Tordania’s coal. She will offer him a route to glory, and the painful truth of her very existence will be laid bare. She will have to choose between a life of luxury in the hands of her Sadori captors or risk her life in an escape to return to the vampire she loves.

Queenmaker by India Edghill Pdf

The only woman in the Bible who is noted to have loved a man, Queen Michal was King David's childhood sweetheart, his first wife, and daughter of his great friend and greater enemy, King Saul. Married to and then abandoned by David at age 14, Michal is forced to marry him again and become his first queen ten years later. Thrown into transition and turmoil, Queen Michal resists the ambition and greed that have become integral to David's personality and kingship. Acting nobly as his queen, but refusing to compromise her soul, Michal is drawn in friendship to the women in the king's court. Among his concubines and mistresses is Bathsheba, who becomes the mother of David's son, Solomon. In Queenmaker, Michal emerges as a wise and loving woman whose female family sustains her and establishes the spiritual foundation of the entire kingdom. Queenmaker depicts in unforgettable detail the characters of one of the greatest periods in Biblical history-their public deed and private thoughts-and gives readers the court of the kings as only a woman could see it.

The Queen Maker by Kristen Gupton Pdf

Mere weeks after being crowned, King Keiran Sipesh receives word of a brutal invasion by the Sadori Empire into Tordania. Already struggling to deal with unrest in his personal life and still learning to cope with being a vampire, the young king is forced to make his first serious decisions as the leader of his country. The quiet servant, Thana Leoram, is pulled into the conflict. Though her relationship with Keiran is forbidden by law, she is determined to hold on. However, there are multiple forces seeking to tear them apart, and the young woman's life is put in jeopardy. While leading the invasion, General Ahman Danier comes to realize there is a treasure far greater than Tordania's coal mines for him to steal away from King Keiran Sipesh.

The Strange - Myth of the Maker by Bruce R. Cordell Pdf

Carter Morrison didn't want to kill his friends, or himself, but he had a good reason. It was them, or the end of all life on the planet. Their sacrifice saved the world. Not that anyone knew it. Until Katherine Manners stumbled over a melting man in a computer room clutching a message of doom from another world. Follow Carter Morrison, Catherine Manners, Elandine the Queen of Hazurrium, and Jason Cole - also known as the Betrayer - as they try to understand, survive, save, and in Jason's case, break free of the fictional worlds that insulate Earth from the dangers of the Strange, where world-eating monstrosities called planetovores lurk.

Shaping Femininity by Sarah Bendall Pdf

Highly Commended, Society for Renaissance Studies Biennial Book Prize 2022 In sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, the female silhouette underwent a dramatic change. This very structured form, created using garments called bodies and farthingales, existed in various extremes in Western Europe and beyond, in the form of stays, corsets, hoop petticoats and crinolines, right up until the twentieth century. With a nuanced approach that incorporates a stunning array of visual and written sources and drawing on transdisciplinary methodologies, Shaping Femininity explores the relationship between material culture and femininity by examining the lives of a wide range of women, from queens to courtiers, farmer's wives and servants, uncovering their lost voices and experiences. It reorients discussions about female foundation garments in English and wider European history, arguing that these objects of material culture began to shape and define changing notions of the feminine bodily ideal, social status, sexuality and modesty in the early modern period, influencing enduring Western notions of femininity. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, Shaping Femininity is the first large-scale exploration of the materiality, production, consumption and meanings of women's foundation garments in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England. It offers a fascinating insight into dress and fashion in the early modern period, and offers much of value to all those interested in the history of early modern women and gender, material culture and consumption, and the history of the body, as well as curators and reconstructors.

Nation Maker by Richard J. Gwyn Pdf

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER John A. Macdonald, Canada's first and most important prime minister, is the man who made Confederation happen, who built this country over the next quarter century, and who shaped what it is today. From Confederation Day in 1867, where this volume picks up, Macdonald finessed a reluctant union of four provinces in central and eastern Canada into a strong nation, despite indifference from Britain and annexationist sentiment in the United States. But it wasn't easy. Gwyn paints a superb portrait of Canada and its leaders through these formative years and also delves deep to show us Macdonald the man, as he marries for the second time, deals with the birth of a disabled child, and the assassination of his close friend Darcy McGee, and wrestles with whether Riel should hang. Indelibly, Gwyn shows us Macdonald's love of this country and his ability to joust with forces who would have been just as happy to see the end of Canada before it had really begun, creating a must-read for all Canadians.

The Dream-Maker's Magic by Sharon Shinn Pdf

Kellen’s mother has always insisted that her only child was born male, not female—so Kellen has been raised as a boy. At school, she meets Gryffin, whose mind is as strong as his legs are damaged, and the two become friends and allies. A few years later, the two get jobs working at an inn nearby. When it is discovered that Gryffin is the kingdom’s new Dream-Maker—someone whose mere presence can help dreams come true—he is whisked away to the castle, leaving Kellen behind. By now, their friendship is shading into something more. Will it endure?
