In the name of Time - A tragedy

Michael Field

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In 'In the Name of Time,' Michael Field artfully weaves a rich tapestry of poetic prose, blending lyrical beauty with a profound exploration of themes such as mortality, the passage of time, and existential reflection. Set against a backdrop that merges personal narrative with broader philosophical inquiries, Field's work deftly employs vivid imagery and innovative structural elements, challenging conventional notions of time. This novel invites the reader to traverse both temporal and spatial landscapes, engaging in a profound dialogue with the past while contemplating the future's inevitability. Michael Field, the pseudonym of the poet and playwright Mary St. Leger (née Mary Ellen) and her partner, Edith Emma, emerges from a Victorian milieu rich in artistic experimentation. Their unique collaboration was likely influenced by their extensive exposure to literary and artistic circles of their time, including relationships with prominent figures such as Oscar Wilde. Field's inclination toward themes of duality and identity is manifest in this work, which reflects their shared artistic vision and personal insights, making it a remarkable contribution to the literary canon. 'In the Name of Time' demands the attention of readers who seek more than mere narrative; it invites a contemplative experience, offering insights into the human condition that resonate across generations. This book will captivate anyone intrigued by the intricate interplay between time and existence, making it a must-read for those who appreciate deeply layered literature.

Secrets of the Eternal Flame -...

Heather G. Harris, Ella Stone

Magic is in my blood, but trouble is in my bones. 
I thought tracking down an Eternal Flame would be the hardest part of this trip. Turns out, I was wrong. Between a hidden magical village, a smug lake monster, and a high priestess who may or may not hold the key to fixing my mistakes, I’m starting to think I should have stayed in bed. 
But I don’t have that luxury. My magic is growing stronger by the day, but it’s volatile, and if I don’t get a grip, I won’t just lose control - I’ll lose everything. 
Kaz’s life hangs by a thread, the fire I was born to protect is fading, and now, to top it off, magical objects are vanishing from under our noses. A stolen grimoire, a missing goblet, and a determined old goblin convinced there’s a thief on the loose… and somehow, I’m the one tasked with solving the mystery. 
Then there’s Fraser, steadfast, infuriatingly level-headed, and always there when I need him. He’s been by my side through all of this, even when I’ve given him every reason to walk away. But with my past catching up to me and my future in the balance, I can’t afford any distractions - especially not the kind that makes my heart race. 
If I don’t prove myself worthy of the Flame, everything I’ve fought for - my family’s legacy, my magic, and possibly my own soul - could be lost forever. 
No pressure, right?
