Synopsis

A Voyage to Arcturus, David Lindsay's groundbreaking 1920 novel, is a richly imaginative exploration of metaphysical themes, weaving a complex narrative that eschews traditional storytelling for a more philosophical approach. Set in the fantastical world of Tormance, the narrative follows the intrepid protagonist, Maskull, on his transformative journey to the distant star Arcturus. Through a series of allegorical encounters, Lindsay artfully examines the nature of existence, individuality, and the essence of reality itself. The novel's stylistic experimentation, coupled with its vivid descriptions and symbolic depth, situates it within the broader context of early 20th-century speculative literature, standing as a precursor to later works like those of Aldous Huxley and Philip K. Dick. David Lindsay, a Scottish writer and philosopher, was deeply influenced by his interests in mysticism, aesthetics, and the human condition. His experiences and personal beliefs lend a unique perspective to Arcturus, reflecting his engagement with existential questions and a desire to explore humanity's place in the cosmos. Lindsay's relatively obscure career and the sparse canon of his works amplify the significance of this novel, marking it as an essential piece of literature that examines the profound interplay between humanity and the universe. I highly recommend A Voyage to Arcturus to readers looking for a thought-provoking journey into the depths of philosophical inquiry. This novel challenges conventional narratives, inviting readers to ponder the interplay of dreams and reality. Its imaginative scope and existential musings offer a rewarding experience for anyone intrigued by the profound dimensions of life and the universe.

    A star quarterback with a legacy to uphold. A fiery activist with a past to avenge. The line between love and hate is about to snap.
     
    Caelen "Cael" Holt has spent his life a pawn in his family’s game, a golden boy with a secret. He's a star quarterback with a cold exterior, and the only thing he craves is to escape. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when a campus protest pits him against the one person who sees right through his carefully crafted mask: Rhys Thorne.
     
    Rhys Thorne is driven by a need for justice, fueled by a deep-seated anger at the company that ruined his family. He sees Cael as the physical embodiment of the corruption he despises. So when fate forces them into the same dorm room, their rivalry explodes into a war of words, turning their shared space into a tense battlefield.
     
    But in the quiet hours after the shouting, something else begins to simmer beneath the surface—a raw, undeniable attraction that defies logic. As their feud becomes a public spectacle, Rhys and Cael are forced to choose between the roles they’ve always played and a partnership that could change everything.
     
    Step into the visceral, high-stakes world of Brutal Desires, a story where genuine connection can break down the most deeply ingrained biases. Told in a dual first-person point of view, you'll feel the sting of their witty insults, the heat of their rising tension, and the raw, vulnerable power of their love. For fans of enemies-to-lovers romance who crave a story with a powerful political backdrop, this book is for you.
     
    Will their brutal pasts be their undoing, or will they finally find a future worth fighting for? Find out in Brutal Desires.

    “Please let me know when you would like to make the rejection official." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks and despite her acting like the words she just said were nothing important
     
     "Would you like to do it now?" While my head screams yes, my heart burns begging me to say no. How can I go from never wanting my little mate to feeling so torn up at the idea of her leaving? I always assumed that I would meet her and reject her without a care but now that the reality of the situation is staring me right in the face I know that it won't be easy, not one bit.
     
    Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
     
    Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
     
    When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his little mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Alpha Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart?
     
    Note: Book 3 in the tetralogy series of the full edition (Chapters 73–103).
