Beschreibung

In "Deerfoot on the Prairies," Edward Sylvester Ellis crafts a riveting adventure that merges the rich tapestry of Native American lore with the rugged landscapes of the American frontier. The narrative follows the titular hero, Deerfoot, a mixed-race youth, as he navigates the treacherous prairies, embodying themes of courage, identity, and friendship amid the backdrop of a rapidly changing America. Ellis employs a vivid and evocative literary style, characterized by dynamic descriptions and fluid action, which captures the reader's imagination while reflecting the era'Äôs fascination with westward expansion and the romanticism of the wilderness adventure genre. Edward Sylvester Ellis was a prolific American author, known for his captivating tales aimed at young readers during the late 19th century. His own experiences growing up in the Midwest, coupled with a profound interest in Native American cultures and the allure of the great outdoors, significantly influenced his writing. "Deerfoot on the Prairies" is one among many of his works that illustrate the complexities of frontier life and the challenges faced by individuals caught between two worlds, underscoring Ellis's passion for storytelling rooted in education and moral development. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging story woven with lessons of resilience and cultural understanding. Whether you're a young reader eager for adventure or a scholar of American literature examining the narratives of the frontier, Ellis's work offers a timeless portrayal of the virtues of bravery and kinship, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

But he's walking a razor's edge — between worship and warfare, between a touch of heaven and a taste of bloody hell. What does a near-death experience sound like?

    A reluctant bride desperate to save her family……but can she save the heart of this jaded Duke? 
    Kitty’s family is on the brink of financial ruin, and her hand in marriage is their most valuable asset. The spirited tomboy would rather care for her horses than tend to a husband—even if her betrothed is a dashing Duke. But to save her family, Kitty accepts the dull life of a Duchess, and the societal expectations that will surely crush her soul. Her handsome fiancé, with his extravagant stables and shared love of horses, takes her by surprise. And so does the attraction she feels with every whispered word and flammable touch. This once reluctant bride soon yearns for more than a marriage of convenience. 
    James Seymour, Duke of Somerset, is resigned to his fate… he will marry for duty, rather than love. Since the crushing blow of his parents’ deaths, guilt has driven James’s every decision. A quiet loveless marriage is all he deserves. But his fiancé is no simpering society Miss. With a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue, she has him bewitched and bewildered. Kitty’s joy for life pulls him out of the cold, dark shadows of regret, ready to embrace life again. But James’s stubborn streak turns Kitty’s passion to anger. And the engagement is broken—along with his heart. 
    James is determined to win back the only woman he’s ever loved… before it’s too late. Can Kitty forgive James and give him a second chance?

    John Griffith Chaney was born on January 12th, 1876 in San Francisco.   
    His father, William Chaney, was living with Flora Wellman when she became pregnant.  Chaney insisted she have an abortion.  Flora's response was to turn a gun on herself.  Although her wounds were not severe the trauma made her temporarily deranged. 
    In late 1876 his mother married John London and the young child was brought to live with them as they moved around the Bay area, eventually settling in Oakland where now, calling himself Jack, he completed grade school. 
    Jack worked hard at several jobs, sometimes 12-18 hours a day, but his dream was university.  He studied hard and borrowed the money to enrol in the summer of 1896 at the University of California in Berkeley. 
    In 1897, at 21, Jack searched out newspaper accounts of his mother's suicide attempt and for the name of his biological father. He wrote to Chaney, then living in Chicago, who claimed he could not be Jack’s father because he was impotent and casually asserted that London's mother had relations with other men.  Jack, devastated by the response, quit Berkeley and went to the Klondike. Other accounts suggest that his dire finances presented Jack with the excuse he needed to leave. 
    In the Klondike Jack began to gather material for his writing but also accumulated many health problems, including scurvy, which together with hip and leg problems he would carry for the rest of his life. 
    During the late 1890's Jack was regularly publishing short stories and by the turn of the century full blown novels. 
    By 1904 Jack had married, fathered two children and was now in the process of divorcing.  A stint as a reporter on the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 was equal amounts trouble and experience. But that experience was always put to good use in a continuing and remarkable output of work. 
    In 1905 he married Charmian Kittredge who at last was a soul and companion who brought him some semblance of peace despite his advancing alcoholism and his incurable wanderlust. 
    Twelve years later Jack had amassed both wealth and a literary reputation through such classics as ‘The Call of the Wild’, ‘White Fang’ and many others. He had a reputation as a social activist and was a tireless friend of the workers.   
    Jack London died suffering from dysentery, late-stage alcoholism and uremia, aged only 40, on November 22nd 1916 at his property in Glen Elen in California.

    A necromancer who escaped captivity. A vampire with a scarred soul. A bond forged on delicate trust. 
    Niall 
    It was hard to trust someone after the love of your life sells you to clear his debt. I'd never expected to be rescued, and now that I was free, I didn't know what to do with myself. All I knew was I'd never let anyone control me ever again. 
    Finding out my mate is a necromancer, able to control all undead beings, is a punch to the gut.  
    Could I bring myself to trust him, or did I actually have a reason to fear him? 
    Aeron 
    When I'd gotten mortally wounded escaping from my prison, I'd accepted the inevitability of my death. But then I woke up, safe and completely healed in a house that belonged to my mate.  
    Niall was beautiful, with tortured eyes and hesitance in his every move, unable to bear being touched and yet full of longing.  
    How do I keep our demons from pulling us apart? 
    Angel of Death is an MM paranormal romance featuring a snarky vampire, a sweet necromancer, a leopard gecko who knows just when to give his people some space and friends who always have their backs. 
    It's the third book in the Mages of Mistvale series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended to read them in order for the most enjoyment since characters will definitely pop into each other's books because they love meddling.
