Book excerpt: 'The Ember Blade is hands down the best fantasy novel I've ever read' Grimdark Magazine Empires rise, civilisations fall and one culture comes to subsume another. It's the way of the world . . . sometimes ways of life are improved, sometimes they are not. But the progression of change is huge and - usually - unstoppable. In this story, the Ossian way of life is fading and the Dachen way is taking its place and Aren is comfortable with that.

By the time they've escaped, they're unavoidably linked to Garric - their unwelcome saviour - and his quest to overturn to Dachen way of life. If they leave Garric now, they'll be arrested or killed by their pursuers. If they turn him in, Garric will kill them. If they stay with him, they'll be abetting a murderous quest they don't believe in. There are no good options - but Aren will still have to choose a path . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The court of the gryphon king has ever been a dangerous and seductive place where Ishtar’s blessing is both the hot breath of passion and the cold kiss of steel. Yet as the childhood companion of King Ditanu, Iltani never doubted her place in either his kingdom or his heart. Then duty called her away to complete her training. Now, a woman grown and a sword-maiden to the goddess Ishtar, Iltani returns and takes up her sacred destiny to protect the royal line. But so much has changed. Ditanu most of all. The youth she knew is gone. A stoic, untouchable king now sits the throne. Does anything of their once deep bond survive? Iltani must swiftly find her place in a court where cunning governors plot treason, trusted advisors orchestrate deceptions, and noblewomen seek to beguile King Ditanu using methods both fair and foul. But the greatest threat of all is no mortal adversary. Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld, desires to make Ditanu her consort and seize his kingdom for her own. Ishtar's Blade is a fantasy romance loosely based on ancient Sumerian and Akkadian mythology. It's book 1 of the Ishtar's Legacy series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its release in 1982, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, has remained a cult classic through its depiction of a futuristic Los Angeles; its complex, enigmatic plot; and its underlying questions about the nature of human identity. The Blade Runner Experience: The Legacy of a Science Fiction Classic examines the film in a broad context, examining its relationship to the original novel, the PC game, the series of sequels, and the many films influenced by its style and themes. It investigates Blade Runner online fandom and asks how the film's future city compares to the present-day Los Angeles, and it revisits the film to pose surprising new questions about its characters and their world.

With the Heavenly Host's fall, Angel Swords rained from the heavens, littering the world in what was. Only the most honorable and purest of heart are able to take up the Angel Swords and wield them against the throngs of Chaos. These mighty Empyrean Knights are all that stands between Uërth and annihilation. Soul Stealer Saedeus is neither pure of heart nor honorable. Nor does he wish to wield an Angel Sword. He just wants to be left alone with his mushrooms. And his pet rock. But he might not have a choice. When he inadvertently takes the soul of a dying Empyrean Knight into himself, his world, and his obligations, grow forever larger. With the help of his pet rock, the spirit of a heavenly knight, and the sword of a fallen angel, he might be able to make all the difference. If he doesn't die first. Wild Mage Maeraeth is neither a hero nor a great warrior. Nor does he wish to become an Empyrean Knight. He just wants to be left alone with his studies. And not be killed by demons. But, with the destruction of the Chaos Gate, Uërth may have a chance at redemption. If the hordes of Chaos can be contained and if no more portals to the Abyss are created. Maeraeth's teacher, Master Nomba, has other plans for him. Plans that involve both containing demons and preventing their arrival. So much for his studies. And not being killed by demons. Stone Singer Born in a secret enclave safe from demonic depredations, Ilya has Chosen. She has Chosen to leave her life of security for one on Uërth, despite all its risks. Armed only with her Voice, a runic staff, and her training as a Singer, she must venture out into the desolation after the Fall. Now she just has to survive long enough to make that Choice worthwhile. And make a difference wherever she is able. In spite of finding herself in a world overrun by demons.

Book excerpt: On the day of the Spring Choosing, when the king's army selects its new recruits, Zaide stood ready to answer the call to arms. Instead, he was pulled from the ranks to become a mage's apprentice, despite bearing no magic in his blood. One year later, with Zaide past the age of selection, the scholar's life he never wanted is shattered when his village is razed by the monsters magic should have held at bay. As the Elder's apprentice, his task is clear. He must seek an artifact in the forest's temple and restore the power that protects his home-a power he can never touch alone. But the temple is not what it seems, and his mission is complicated when he encounters a mysterious girl in the forest who bears a quest of her own: claim the same artifact, and destroy the dark forces that threaten her homeland once and for all.

This book was released on 2019-03-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the ninth large installment of the best-selling series launched in 2007. Unlike the previous parts of the series, which were action games, this production represents the RPG action genre. The title was created by Ubisoft's in-house studio in Montreal. Assassin's Creed Odyssey begins in 431 BC with the outbreak of the conflict between Sparta and Athens, known as the Peloponnese War. Before starting the game we choose one of the two characters - Alexios or Kassandra, grandchildren of the famous king of Sparta, Leonidas. However, they were cursed by the family and banished; we meet them when they earn a living as mercenaries as adults. The beginning of the title Odyssey, on the other hand, is the moment when the heroine or heroine takes on orders that will radically change his life, opening the way for him to become a Spartan heroine. Unlike earlier Assassin's Creed games, Odyssey's plot is to some extent non-linear. In the course of the struggle, we make decisions that influence the course and end of the script - although we cannot influence the fate of the world, the choices we make are translated into the life of the protagonist (the creators allow us, for example, to romance with selected people) and the characters around him. The story is conveyed both in film interviews and in conversations in which the developers, for the first time in the history of the series, gave players the opportunity to choose dialogue issues.Separate mention should be made of the fact that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey historical and mythical characters appear, headed by Socrates, documenting our actions by Herodotus, Hippocrates known as the father of modern medicine, or even Pericles, who fought to defend Athens' independence. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey we observe the action from a third party perspective (TPP). The game gives us a vast open world, which consists of several regions, varying in terms of landscape, season and population density. In addition to Attica, which is central to Athens and Lakonia, where Sparta is located, there are also militarized Achaia and Messinia, forest islands with a beautiful golden autumn, or even the glamorous city of Corinth.We can travel along this "sandbox" both on foot (which makes the parkour system, which is a showpiece of the series, allowing the heroes to overcome obstacles in a spectacular and instant way), and on the back of a mountain named Phobos. In addition, the game returns free sailing, a hallmark of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag released in 2013. Our ship, Adrestia, can be modified by changing its appearance and equipment. Of course, we do not swim alone on the sea - during the game we can recruit the crew (also from among stunned enemies), and each of its members has unique abilities, which influence our combat potential during battles with enemy units. It is worth noting that sailing is once again made more attractive by the shanties sung in Greek by our subordinates. Legacy of the First Blade is a downloadable content expansion pack for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey which was released on December 4, 2018. It is the first out of two expansion packs for the game, alongside The Fate of Atlantis.A three-part episodic story arc, it is comprised of the memory sequences Hunted, Shadow Heritage, and Bloodline, with each episode being released roughly every six weeks from December 4, onward.The expansion introduces players to the first person to ever use the Hidden Blade and will reveal more about the history that ultimately led to the formation of the Assassins.
