Synopsis

In "The King of Elfland's Daughter," Lord Dunsany masterfully weaves a tapestry of fantasy that delves into the realms of myth and folklore. Set in the enchanting land of Elfland and its borders with the mundane world, the narrative explores the timeless conflict between magic and reality through lyrical prose and vivid imagery. Dunsany's use of rich, poetic language situates the novel within the burgeoning fantasy genre of the early 20th century, capturing the imagination of readers seeking to escape the industrial realities of the time and embrace the wonder of the supernatural. Lord Dunsany, a significant figure in the fantasy literary canon, was largely influenced by his extensive travels and profound appreciation for folklore. His interests in mythology and poetic expression invigorated his writing, allowing him to create worlds that transcend the ordinary and resonate with essential human truths. "The King of Elfland's Daughter," published in 1924, stands out as a pinnacle of his creative vision, blending his aristocratic background with a passion for storytelling that champions the otherworldly. This enchanting tale is not merely a story but an invitation to immerse oneself in a world where dreams and realities intertwine. Readers who seek poetic exploration and the allure of the fantastic will find solace in Dunsany's prose. This work is essential for anyone wishing to explore the depths of imagination and the eternal pull of the fantastical.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
