Lost One's Vengeance


Book Description

This is a sequel to the book "What should I Call You Mate?" ------------------------------------------------ Everything that once started with a prophecy a long time ago, will now end with the same. But like always, prices have to pay. Fate will be defeated indeed, but in what cost, no one knows yet. The lost one will surely fight for the long-desired vengeance. But then again, will it be enough to bring the two souls together, just like they were before? ------------------------------------------------- "Momma..." Those innocent eyes of my one-year-old daughter welled up right after she fell on the ground, as she was trying to walk on her own, attempting to come to me. I had to leave her alone to play by herself, cause I needed to work for the sake of living, as there was no one to look after both of us. I was about to go to her to lift her up from the floor to give a warm hug, so that she becomes happy once again, but it seemed I could not. Cause even before I could hold her, two muscular hands lifted my daughter up only to hold her tight close to his chest, carefully. She was looking so tiny in his arms, but the most important question was that who is he? He seemed familiar somehow, but I am sure that I have never seen him before. "Momma...Dadda?" Eva, my little daughter babbled, all of a sudden. "No. No. He is not. Come here." I stretched my hands to take Eva back, but the man did not let me. Instead, he chose to say something strange, "I thought I have lost you, Emm. Both of you." "I am sorry, but you might have mistaken, I am not Emm. I am Ange."




The Lost Ones


Book Description

Bestselling author Christopher Golden brings his epic, innovative trilogy, the Veil, to an astonishing conclusion as the mythic realm of heroes and monsters becomes the site of humanity’s last—and greatest—showdown. In the world of the legendary, every myth and folktale is real. That is what Oliver Bascombe learned on the other side of the Veil, where humanity's legends have hidden away for centuries. But even legends have legends, and Oliver has learned of a prophecy that many believe he and his sister, Collette, have come to the Two Kingdoms to fulfill. Before they can discover the truth, the Bascombe siblings must help to stop an apocalyptic war that threatens to destroy the Two Kingdoms, unravel a conspiracy, and prevent a powerful sorcerer from severing the world of humans from the realm of the legendary forever. But first Oliver will have to plot an escape from an impregnable palace dungeon where he and his allies have been imprisoned . . . for regicide. As old heroes and friends ally themselves for one last battle, even older enemies stand arrayed against them. Is humanity ready to face its legends head-on? For Oliver Bascombe, the price may be dearer than even he could ever imagine. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Revenge of Joe Wild


Book Description

The Revenge of Joe Wild is a young adult novel about a semi-literate 12-year-old boy growing up in mid-19th century Southern Illinois, an outsider who can’t fit in with the norms of society. When Joe is accused of murdering his friend Ervan Foster, he flees the authorities and goes on the run, vowing to one day return as an adult, find out who the real killer is, clear his name, and avenge Ervan’s death. While on the run, Joe has many funny, dangerous, and eye-opening adventures which include joining the Union army and fighting in the American Civil War. When the war ends, Joe returns to his hometown, an armed and battle-tested sixteen-year-old. He confronts his accusers, but when Joe finds out the truth behind Ervan's murder, he makes peace with the man who falsely accused him, as well as with himself. In the great tradition of such 19th-century American authors Mark Twain, James Fennimore Cooper, and Stephen Crane, The Revenge of Joe Wild is a humorous, tense, action-filled novel set against the dramatic backdrop of the Civil War, with themes involving racism, sexuality, and misinformation that are just as relevant in the 21st century as they were during the time of Joe Wild.




Isard's Revenge: Star Wars Legends (X-Wing)


Book Description

Sleek, swift and deadly, the famed X-Wing fighters have earned their reputation as the Rebel Alliance's ultimate strike force the hard way--first in battle, the last line of defense. Now they must make a deal with the devil herself--an enemy whose ultimate goal is their total annihilation. It's the kind of mission only Wedge Antilles and the Rogue Squadron would dare to undertake. Against impossible odds they will stage a daring raid into an enemy stronghold--only to be rescued from certain destruction by an unexpected ally. Ysanne Isard, the ruthless Imperial commander, has appeared on the scene seemingly from out of nowhere. Now she proposes a most unusual alliance, offering to help Wedge rescue his captured comrades from Imperial Warlord Admiral Krennel's sadistic prison camp. But her offer is not without a price. Wedge must lead Rogue Squadron in Isard's deadly struggle against an enemy made in her own image. It's an offer Wedge would love to refuse, for Isard is certain to betray them. But how can they leave their comrades at Krennel's mercy? The answer is: they can't--even if it means being caught between Krennel's ruthlessness and Isard's treachery.
