Humans believe vampires are a myth, but unbeknown to them there are vampires masquerading as humans. For two hundred years, the last clan of vampires have lived in Scandinavia protecting the only thing which shields them from the sun, an ancient Egyptian relic called the ankh.

Francisco Angulo's spellbinding novel Escaping from Hell whisks readers away to 1930s Spain on the brink of civil war. Weaving together history and myth, this epic tale has earned praise as "an enthralling adventure" (The Times) with "breathtaking prose" (The Guardian).Centered around Andrea, a courageous young archivist, and the mysterious Englishman Lord Edwards, Escaping from Hell seamlessly blends thrilling action with poignant romance. Andrea becomes swept up in a nationwide hunt for an ancient text believed to hold magical powers. With Nazi forces also seeking the book, she and Edwards race against time to find it first in this "heart-pounding page-turner" (Booklist).Angulo's vivid descriptions transport you directly into the chaos of pre-war Spain. The perilous road trips, evocative Spanish landscapes, and life-or-death showdowns will leave your pulse racing up to the satisfying conclusion. Critics call Escaping from Hell "an intoxicating escape" (Kirkus) filled with "palpable romantic chemistry" between the two compelling protagonists (Publishers Weekly).Building upon obscure legends and religious myths, Angulo has forged an entirely original story that stands out for its "incredible imagination" (Library Journal). This "unputdownable tale" (BookPage) will linger in your mind long after the final page. With its cinematic action, timeless themes, and poetic turns of phrase, Escaping from Hell establishes Angulo as a shining new talent in historical fiction. Fish in an aquarium, ants in a terrarium or lab mice running through a maze. Our lives may be nothing more than that, a test to see if we find the cheese.Doing nothing, the easiest solution, but in the end time pushes us to commit unjustifiable acts. Selfishness, fear, lack of empathy and the weight of the passing years. Ending up desiring the young wife of the neighbor, stealing the inheritance from siblings, falling into addiction to any drug that clouds our judgment.Justifying the unjustifiable and moving forward on our knees, crawling or dragging ourselves like worms. You can't prepare for the race, pace your strength, when you don't know the distance; when you don't know where the finish line is.

આદિયોગી - દિવ્ય પ્રેમગાથા એક ગાંધર્વ અભીરથ અને ઋષિ કન્યા અવંતિકાની પ્રેમગાથા છે. જેના કરતાં ધરતાં સ્વયં મહાદેવ અને માતા પાર્વતી છે. અભીરથ અવંતિકા માટે મહાદેવનો સંદેશ લઈને પૃથ્વીલોક પર આવે છે ને ત્યાં આવીને ત્યાં સ્થિત મઢીમાં વશે છે. ત્યાં આવ્યા બાદ અવંતિકા સાથે મળીને દરેક સમસ્યાઓની સામનો કરે છે ને તે બંનેને એકબીજાથી પ્રેમ થઈ જાય છે. ત્યારબાદ તેમની દિવ્ય પ્રેમગાથા તેના અંજામ સુધી પહોંચે છે ને તેના સાક્ષી સ્વયં મહાદેવ અને માતા પાર્વતી બને છે.

A young naval officer comes to grips with his feelings about racism, and struggles to resolve the conflict between the needs of his family, and his career. Based upon real events, it is clear that race problems in the US Navy were unresolved in the mid-1970's.Lieutenant (junior grade) Mitch Payne reports to the USS Scarslund, a Navy destroyer long past its prime, ready to work hard and restart his stalled career. He has to navigate treacherous wardroom politics, even as building racial tensions on the ship deteriorate.Everything comes to a head when all of the black sailors stage a massed disobedience of orders which hazards the ship. Payne, as the ship's legal officer, is then drawn into the Navy's prosecution of the ringleaders. The Navy's ham-fisted efforts to expunge traces of its discriminatory past, very similar to the discredited critical race theory of today, are also described in acid detail.

Na minha busca por compreender o amor, percebo que, às vezes, o excesso de adornos pode obscurecer o sentimento genuíno. Por isso, peço ao tempo que me permita retornar aos dias passados, onde a beleza lírica era suficiente, sem alterar o curso da minha história.Evoco os deuses antigos para reviver os outonos em Grammaria, momentos em que lutei, amei e sofri. Foram dias de batalhas e noites de glórias, marcados pela cruel mão do destino, um tempo impiedoso que avança sem clemência.Esse tempo, implacável e indiferente, desafia nossas esperanças e anseios, sem reconhecer os próprios adornos de sua caprichosa existência. Ele não para, não muda e não sente.Embora tudo se dissipe como a névoa da primavera, desejei manter meu coração jovem ao frio, contido, como uma fera ferida a ser domada. No entanto, rapidamente aprendi que ele era indomável, um corcel galopando em busca de novos horizontes, além das convenções.Meu coração sempre foi livre, habitando as margens do meu ser e desafiando a sorte. Sob o olhar crítico do tempo, expus-me ao palco da vida, enfrentando as normas e a visão antiquada de um amor imposto.Mantive-me firme como um menestrel, martelando as incertezas em um mundo indiferente, enquanto tudo à minha volta definhava.A vida, no entanto, me conduziu por caminhos inesperados, e agora busco entender como navegar pelos decretos do amor que antes me eram estranhos. Como narrar essa história intrincada, se nem eu mesma consigo compreendê-la?Abandonei meu conforto e mergulhei numa paixão tempestuosa, que ardia no peito como o sopro de um dragão, intenso e avassalador. Nesse turbilhão, encontrei alguém que transformou minha vida.Esse alguém era um enigma, capaz de despertar em mim tanto prazer quanto dor. Nosso amor, tão profundo, abalava o chão sob nossos pés. Por um tempo, pensei que havíamos encontrado uma forma de escapar das regras que nos aprisionavam, acreditando que poderíamos permanecer juntos para sempre. Mas a realidade se impôs: famílias e tradições se ergueram contra nós, separando-nos.Foi como se o mundo tivesse sido virado de cabeça para baixo. Ele desapareceu sem despedidas, e eu fiquei, tentando juntar os pedaços do que restou.Temo que essa história possa se repetir, mas reconheço que o que vivemos me fortaleceu para enfrentar o futuro. Agora, sigo meu caminho, carregando a sensação de que ele observa de longe, entendendo que preciso trilhar essa jornada sozinha para descobrir quem sou de fato.Nossa história, repleta de altos e baixos, é tão genuína quanto a vida sem adornos. Tivemos momentos gloriosos e outros desafiadores, mas o amor sempre persiste como Sol no dia de chuva.Apesar de tudo, de algum modo, permanecemos conectados, como se o que vivemos transcendesse o tempo e o espaço. Assim, nossa história de amor ensinou-me lições valiosas sobre a vida. Após todas as provações, aprendi a amar verdadeiramente, e isso, por si só, fez tudo valer a pena.

Try a small taste of three paranormal series featuring different creatures of the night. Ghost hunters, vampires, and gargoyles, all with their stories to tell. Each of them hoping to somehow find their other half in the strange world they live in.Ghost Hunted: Proving ghosts are real is something Jason Thomas had always dreamed of. Visiting the haunted places, he'd been obsessed with since he was a kid, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade, is a passion that's only grown. As the years passed, Jason's fascination with ghosts was too big to contain, and he'd drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.Wade Rivers has always loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he'd have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Before he knew it, Wade's feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when strange things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn't the scariest thing Wade will encounter.A friends to lovers, paranormal romantic thriller. Burning Addiction: His days are spent doing odd jobs for cash to pay for his habit. One night, he overdoses and nearly dies. Doctor Lucas Martel works nightshift in the emergency room at Eureka Hospital. He's reclusive and brilliant at his job, and he's all too aware that not everything in Eureka is as it seems. He's also a vampire, one who chooses to blend in with humans rather than feed on them. Something strange is happening to the homeless and addicts on the streets of Eureka; many have gone missing or ended up dead, and others have overdosed on drugs so strong, no human cure can counteract them. Not normally concerned with human tragedies, the vampires can't stand back and let this play out, or they risk exposing their world to the humans. Brennan must face his demons, and Lucas will discover many things about himself, and what he believes to be true: a seedy underground of rogue vampires and drugs that must be stopped, at any cost. *Warning: contains references to drug use and abuse. Stone Under Skin: Ankit has lived many lifetimes. Once, long ago, he was made of stone, and marked with symbols and sigils meant to safeguard him and allow him to protect and serve others.

Ankit stumbles upon him, and instantly recognizes him as the man he's fated to. He helps him back to his apartment, and after tending his injuries, watches over him.Fate has woven their lives together for centuries, but in every lifetime, they could never live freely, or love each other as Ankit has often dreamed of. To change their destiny, they'll fight together with other gargoyles, and a young watcher, who is unaware of the tremendous power she possesses. This will be the last battle against their creator, and they'll either die fighting for their freedom, or survive to live the life they've always yearned for.
