Blood of the Moon by S D Simper Pdf
"Warm her heart. Cherish it. Kiss her as you slit her pretty throat." Successful in her quest, Flowridia returns to Staelash for a joyous affair-the long awaited wedding of Marielle and Zorlaeus, an event promising to seal her kingdom and Nox'Kartha as allies. But the price of Ayla's return, and the sacrifice it demands, weighs heavily on her heart. To do nothing means to live a life of loneliness, but to act would condemn her eternal soul. Meanwhile, Etolié wades through the cesspool of politics, yet drowns in a loneliness she cannot voice in words. The news of Khastra's new position in Nox'Kartha forces her to confront a few harsh truths of her past, as well as her place in her dearest friend's life, if she has a place at all. For Flowridia's mission to be complete, she must make allies of enemies-including enemies thought dead. And Etolié finds herself at the center of a murderous conspiracy, yet to speak the truth would condemn the one she loves the most. Kingdoms clash, betrayal is nigh, and the bounds of love are tested in the third installment of Fallen Gods. Includes the bonus short story "Etolié and the Horrible, Awful, Messed-Up, Worst Kind of Day."

The Bitter Taste of Victory by Lara Feigel Pdf
As the Second World War neared its conclusion, Germany was a nation reduced to rubble: 3.6 million German homes had been destroyed leaving 7.5 million people homeless; an apocalyptic landscape of flattened cities and desolate wastelands. In May 1945 Germany surrendered, and Britain, America, Soviet Russia and France set about rebuilding their zones of occupation. Most urgent for the Allies in this divided, defeated country were food, water and sanitation, but from the start they were anxious to provide for the minds as well as the physical needs of the German people. Reconstruction was to be cultural as well as practical: denazification and re-education would be key to future peace and the arts crucial in modelling alternative, less militaristic, ways of life. Germany was to be reborn; its citizens as well as its cities were to be reconstructed; the mindset of the Third Reich was to be obliterated. When, later that year, twenty-two senior Nazis were put in the dock at Nuremberg, writers and artists including Rebecca West, Evelyn Waugh, John Dos Passos and Laura Knight were there to tell the world about a trial intended to ensure that tyrannous dictators could never again enslave the people of Europe. And over the next four years, many of the foremost writers and filmmakers of their generation were dispatched by Britain and America to help rebuild the country their governments had spent years bombing. Among them, Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Marlene Dietrich, George Orwell, Lee Miller, W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Billy Wilder and Humphrey Jennings. The Bitter Taste of Victory traces the experiences of these figures and through their individual stories offers an entirely fresh view of post-war Europe. Never before told, this is a brilliant, important and utterly mesmerising history of cultural transformation.

Death Is Swallowed Up in Victory by Brandon W. Price Pdf
As Christians, we are seeing events that point to the fulfillment of prophecies concerning the end of the age and the return of Jesus Christ.. On April 8th 2007, I witnessed one of these events and it was supernatural in nature. As I set out to understand the events of that day the Lord led me to the Word of God, that it should answer all I had prayed and asked. The information in, "Death is swallowed up in Victory" is the beginning of the answers I was led to. I do not believe the full meaning of the events were intended for my private interpretation. As believers, we are the Body of Christ and in that fullness our understanding comes when we share our findings concerning this forgotten biblical information.

Sting-Ray Afternoons by Steve Rushin Pdf
This is a story of the 1970s. Of a road trip in a wood-paneled station wagon, with the kids in the way-back, singing along to the Steve Miller Band. Of brothers waking up early on Saturday mornings for five consecutive hours of cartoons. Of growing up in a magical era populated by Bic pens, Mr. Clean and Scrubbing Bubbles, lightsabers and those oh-so-coveted Schwinn Sting-Ray bikes. And of a father -- one of 3M's greatest and last eight-track salesmen -- traveling across the country on the brand-new Boeing 747, providing for his family but wanting nothing more than to get home. In Sting-Ray Afternoons, Steve Rushin paints an utterly nostalgic, psychedelically vibrant portrait of a decade overflowing with technological evolution, cultural revolution, as well as brotherly, sisterly, and parental love. "Funny, elegiac... a remarkably sunny coming-of-age story about growing up in a Midwest world." -- NPR

Long ago, before history broke in half, elder gods exiled the vengeful deity Erynis to a far corner of Earth. When Ryn is found weakened after saving the life of an innocent villager, the U.S. military mistakes the battered immortal for a feral teenager and places her in New Petersburg, a decaying city full of monsters.In her clash with the city's demons, Ryn is confused by her intense emotional connection with Naomi Bradford, a senator's daughter she has sworn to protect. But while her claws can kill anything that dies (and a few things that cannot), she must also contend with the human race. They lie, they speak in riddles, and to protect her friend, the immortal must navigate the senseless rules of their flawed civilization. Worse, they are fragile-and giving her heart to one makes Ryn afraid for the first time in her eternal life.
