Описание: For two hundred years, the Terror has haunted the imagination of the West. The descent of the French Revolution from rapturous liberation into an orgy of apparently pointless bloodletting has been the focus of countless reflections on the often malignant nature of humanity and the folly of revolution. David Andress, a leading historian of the French Revolution, presents a radically different account of the Terror. In a remarkably vivid and page-turning work of history, he transports the reader from the pitched battles on the streets of Paris to the royal family's escape through secret passageways in the Tuileries palace, and across the landscape of the tragic last years of the Revolution. The violence, he shows, was a result of dogmatic and fundamentalist thinking: dreadful decisions were made by groups of people who believed they were still fighting for freedom but whose survival was threatened by famine, external war, and counter-revolutionaries within the fledging new state. Urgent questions emerge from Andress's trenchant reassessment: When is it right to arbitrarily detain those suspected of subversion? When does an earnest patriotism become the rationale for slaughter? Combining startling narrative power and bold insight, "The Terror" is written with verve and exceptional pace-it is a superb popular debut from an enormously talented historian.

Описание:
The planet earth is unique for its natural resources like water and greenery, besides its vast mineral resources. The animals of various categories and the humans are the inhabitants of this earth, and their survival is dependent upon these resources and also upon a healthy equation between both. While, broadly, the animals are physically mightier and have lesser mental development or a one-track mind; the humans are mentally superior with a greater intelligence than the animals.
During the initial evolutionary stage of the animals and the humans, they had a friendly coexistence, with both the races having a commonality of interests and activities; and they learnt from each other in a spirit of give and take. But, slowly, negative feelings like selfishness and arrogance began to creep in, and that changed the scenario. The bone of contention was - who should rule the earth? While the humans wished to share the power along with the animals, the latter wanted the entire sway for themselves on the presumption that might is right. And it resulted in a series of conflicts between both.
Though the animals were generally inferior to the humans in mental prowess, some of them were equally intelligent to the point of being cunning and outwitting the humans. A war raged where almost all the animal race, as well as a large contingent of humans was lost... This is the backdrop of this fantasy from where the theme of the present volume - The Mystery of the Eclipse Island, the first part of the multi-volume Merciless Dark, takes off.
The story with its vast canvas weaves through deliberations and decisions, plots and counterplots, espionage and magic, an incredibly mysterious island, skills in various fields of knowledge, war tactics & strategies... Finally, whatever happens at the end of the first volume, The Mystery of the Eclipse Island, is not going to be the actual end but only a break since the epic fantasy has multiple volumes in its womb.

Описание:
From USA Today bestselling author W Winters comes an emotionally captivating and thrilling, romantic suspense.
He holds a power over me like no one else ever could.
Maybe it's because my heart begs to beat in time with his. Maybe it's because my body bows to his and his alone. Maybe it's because he thought he loved me before he even laid eyes on me.
He thought wrong, it wasn't me he thought he loved, and nothing has made me suffer like that little secret has. He thought I belonged to him, but he was wrong. It was never supposed to be me.
Our memories are deceiving, but I know what I want now. What I need more than anything. I won't rest until he's as much mine as I am his. It's always been him.

Описание: Fans of The Gilded Ones and Children of Blood and Bone will love the second book in an epic fantasy series about a girl who is the key to saving the empire--or its greatest threat. It's been six months since Deka has freed the goddesses and discovered who she really is. There are now wars waging across the kingdom. Oterans now think jatu are traitors to the nation. Deka is called a monster. But the real battle has only just begun and Deka must lead the charge. Deka is tasked with freeing the rest of the goddesses. Only as she begins to free them, she begins to see a strange symbol everywhere in places of worship and worn on armor. There's something unnatural about that symbol; just looking at it makes Deka lose her senses. Even worse, it seems to repel her powers. She can't command or communicate with the new deathshrieks. In fact, she can't even understand them when they speak. Deka knows freeing the goddesses is just the beginning. She can tell whatever dark force out is powerful and there is something sinister out there threatening the kingdom connected to that symbol--something merciless--that her army will need to stop before humanity crumbles. But Deka's powers are only getting stronger...and her strongest weapon could be herself.

Her lips tasted like Cabernet and her touch was like fire. I was blinded by what she did to me. I so easily fell for something I thought I'd never have.
I was weak for her and should've known better. I should've known she could never love a man like me.
She brought out a side of me that I wish had stayed dead.
I won't make the same mistake twice.
I don't care how much she begs me.
I don't care that I crave her more than anything else...
