  Roll the dice. Choose a challenge. Try not to die. 
   
   
   
  My shadow prince was wrested from my arms and dragged through a portal, and I don't know who took him or why. Damien showed me my power as a woman and as a mage, and he means everything to me. He built me back up after my ex tore me down. And now he's gone. 
   
   
   
  I'll stop at nothing to free him, but when I learn the vampire queen is responsible, things get complicated. The subterranean city of Night Haven isn't accessible by humans, and even the most powerful magical creatures in my life won't dare challenge the vicious and bloodthirsty Valeska. 
   
   
   
  Everyone tells me there's nothing I can do, that I'm not strong enough to free him. They tell me to give up. But I'd rather die than live a life without my mate. So there's only one thing I can do. To save my monster, I must become one too.

And maybe, if he’s lucky, he can win back the heart of the girl he never got over…

  The Adventure of the Cardboard...

  "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.
  Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime. He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience.

  The Invisible Man

  "I am all men—and I am no man. I am the Invisible Man."
  
  In the dead of winter, a mysterious stranger arrives at a quiet inn in the village of Iping, his face swathed in bandages and his eyes hidden behind dark goggles. This is Griffin, a brilliant scientist who has discovered the secret to making human tissue transparent. But his breakthrough is his undoing. Trapped in a state of invisibility and hunted by a world that fears what it cannot see, Griffin's initial dream of power curdles into a violent obsession. As he attempts to establish a "Reign of Terror," the story becomes a pulse-pounding race against a man who can strike from nowhere.
  
  The Anatomy of an Anti-Hero: Griffin is not your typical Victorian protagonist. He is irritable, brilliant, and increasingly sociopathic. Wells uses invisibility as a metaphor for the ultimate freedom from social accountability. Without a face to recognize or a body to imprison, Griffin believes he is above morality, leading to a chilling study of how absolute power (or the illusion of it) corrupts the soul.
  
  A Village Under Siege: The novel masterfully shifts from the "weird tale" atmosphere of the Iping countryside to a high-stakes manhunt across England. Through the characters of the bumbling tramp Thomas Marvel and the rational Dr. Kemp, Wells explores the societal reaction to the "invisible threat." The tension builds to a climactic confrontation that remains one of the most memorable endings in the history of science fiction.
  
  Witness the terror of the unseen. Purchase "The Invisible Man" today and confront the darkness of the human heart.

  Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
  SYNDICALISM OR CITIZENSHIP: "Is a railway porter a railway porter first and a man afterwards, or is he a man first and incidentally a railway porter?" That is the issue between this tawdrification of trade unionism which is called Syndicalism, and the ideals of that Great State, that great commonweal, towards which the constructive forces in our civilisation tend.
