Nora Roberts' The Sign of Seven Trilogy


Book Description

In the town of Hawkins Hollow, every seven years, on the seventh day of the seventh month, strange things happen. It began when three young boys—Caleb, Fox, and Gage—went on a camping trip to The Pagan Stone... BLOOD BROTHERS Though he can never forget the beginning of the terror in the woods twenty-one years ago, Caleb Hawkins knows the signs have never been this strong before. To stop the coming evil, he must turn to an unexpected ally, beautiful reporter Quinn Black. THE HOLLOW Since that day at The Pagan Stone, Fox O'Dell has been able to see into others’ minds. Now, he must convince Layla that their shared abilities are worth beliving in, because their link will help fight the darkness that threatens to engulf the town. THE PAGAN STONE Gage Turner knows that a woman like strong, beautiful Cybil can only bring him luck. Good or bad has yet to be determined—and could mean the difference between absolute destruction or an end to Hawkins Hollow's nightmare.




The Intelligible Metropolis


Book Description

Writings on the metropolis generally foreground illimitability, stressing thereby that the urban ultimately remains both illegible and unintelligible. Instead, the purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to demonstrate that mentality as a tool offers orientation in the urban realm. Nora Pleßke develops a model of urban mentality to be employed for cities worldwide. Against the background of the Spatial Turn, she identifies dominant urban-specific structures of London mentality in contemporary London novels, such as Monica Ali's »Brick Lane«, J.G. Ballard's »Millennium People«, Nick Hornby's »A Long Way Down«, and Ian McEwan's »Saturday«.




The Growling Viscount


Book Description

Enjoy this historical fantasy romance by USA Today bestselling author Nicole Zoltack about werewolf brothers in the Regency era. While his brothers seem rather content and happily married, Maxwell Buckingham is uninterested in the ton. Not even an enchanting lady can turn his head. Not until she reveals that she knows his secret. Somehow, though, truth does not make her flee. If anything, she seems all the more interested in pursuing him. But all of the Buckinghams and their wives and children face a grave problem. The growing conflict between wolves has been resolved as the two packs agree on one matter. They seek to reveal themselves to the world. That cannot happen for it will mean war all over again. War between werewolves and humans. And if the werewolves should lose that war, doubtless all of the Buckinghams, whether werewolf or human, will all be hunted down and slain. THE GROWLING VISCOUNT is a part of the Mayhem of Magic universe.
