  Amoretti: a Sonnet Sequence

  Edmund Spenser

  ""Amoretti" is a captivating sequence of 89 sonnets written by the renowned English poet Edmund Spenser. These sonnets follow the tradition of Petrarchan sonnets, a popular form during the Renaissance period. Let's explore more about this poetic work:  The Amoretti (meaning little love poems) is a sequence of 89 sonnets written in the tradition of the Petrarchan sonnets, a popular form for poets of the Renaissance period. Spenser's sequence has been largely neglected in modern times, while those of his contemporaries William Shakespeare and Sir Philip Sidney have been acclaimed. However, because of the artistic skill, along with the emotion and the humor exhibited, these poems deserve a broader hearing, even though they may be somewhat difficult for the present-day reader, partly through Spenser's love for words and expressions that were already archaic in his time."

  Blade

  The starship Dragon, accompanied by its fleet of outriders, is faring ever deeper into that region known as the Hallowed Vasties. Here, at the shattered heart of ancient human civilization, once-living worlds were ripped apart by the dimensional intrusions of a Blade. Yet despite the apocalyptic-scale destruction, the fleet's telescopes have picked out signs of life among the ruins and the ship's company is eager to go on—but should they? 
   
   
   
  From his post on Dragon's high bridge, Urban looks ahead to the smaller starship, Griffin, now far, far in front of the fleet. The mind that pilots that ship—a stern and colder version of his lover, Clemantine—has gone silent. The implication chills him. Like Dragon, Griffin was an alien warship, designed to destroy without mercy all living worlds, and it still has a mind of its own. The question that haunts Urban: Has that alien mind somehow reclaimed control of Griffin? 
   
   
   
  It's a question he must answer, and soon. Every wonder that lies ahead—and every ambition hidden within his heart—is at risk while Griffin's true nature remains unknown.

  Somebody thought it would be a great idea to send us to the Troll Court. 
  Because somebody imagined I might be the perfect person to help with a certain wild and crazy plan of Their Majesties' concoction. 
  They want to restore the lost city of Farringale. 
  I can only say that I heartily approve. 
  There is the tiny problem of how, of course; but who better to dig up the truth than the Society’s most colourful agents? 
  Off questing we go, armed with a long list of questions, two winning smiles (well, three, if you count the Baron’s — and who wouldn’t?) and a certain Dappledok pup. 
  Only, history has a way of being... slippery. 
  The only way to find out what really happened at Farringale is to go back there, poke it with a stick, and see what falls out. And try not to die in the process. 
  It'll be fine. With my enchanted pipes in tow, a unicorn at my side and three trusty allies at my back, what could possibly go wrong?
