Ophiro


Book Description

Ophiro Donbrenin and Orion Donbrenin are twins they are born into the most powerful family in the City state of Surishire and children to the governor mayor of Surishire Reyon Donbrenin. Surishire is a special place on earth it is the home to mythical creatures and werewolves. Surishire however was not founded as a sanctuary for werewolves in the beginning it was founded as a settlement close to a portal; a portal to another universal dimension called the Demiverse. The werewolves settled here to guard the Earth from creatures that passes through the portal. “Demons it” what the creatures from the other dimension/universe are known as in this world. Centuries now have passed, however and the portal haven’t seen much activity, the demons have instead end up coming from outside the Surishire border, attacking the city to gain access to the major portal. It has been at least more than 40 years though and nothing has happened in Surishire. The calm was going to give in for a storm when the head of the Trinity’s army is found dead. The twins are turning 18 soon, despite being twins the two boys looked nothing alike. Ophiro the eldest by a few minutes was a smaller person, with delicate features while Orion was the big man, tall and muscular. The twins haven’t had a great history together growing up, Orion was jealous and resented how Ophiro got most of the attention from their dad because he was sick almost all the time. The doctors had thought Ophiro would not survive to even see his 10 birthday but they were wrong. Ophiro was small and even though just an omega in the werewolf hierarchic he was very special. Omegas are usually born with gifts but Ophiro was born with something more powerful, he inherited his mother’s magic. Growing up Orion was not only jealous of Ophiro but he hated the weak child, he couldn’t stomach the fact that Ophiro was his brother. He just couldn’t imagine it. As they grew older however Ophiro time and time again had proven that he was far more powerful than he looked, Orion couldn’t help but notice that truth and the fact that a peace of Ophiro’s soul live within his own draws him closer to Ophiro, perhaps a little too close. Ophiro and Orion will face various challenges in their lives and at best together but they have to find a way to make peace with themselves and deal with their issues clearly and together as the world around them falls apart.







The Game of Our Lives


Book Description

WINNER of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2015 In the last two decades football in Britain has made the transition from a peripheral dying sport to the very centre of our popular culture, from an economic basket-case to a booming entertainment industry. What does it mean when football becomes so central to our private and political lives? Has it enriched us or impoverished us? In this sparkling book David Goldblatt argues that no social phenomenon tracks the momentous economic, social and political changes of the post-Thatcherite era in a more illuminating manner than football, and no cultural practice sheds more light on the aspirations and attitudes of our long boom and now calamitous bust. A must-read for the thinking football fan, The Game of Our Lives will appeal to readers of Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby and Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson. It will also be relished by readers of British social history such as Austerity Britain by David Kynaston. 'Brilliantly incisive. Goldblatt is not merely the best football historian writing today, he is possibly the best there has ever been. Goldblatt's book could hardly be more impressive' Sunday Times
