  Beowulf - Hall Translation

  Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in Beowulf and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.

  Rydian Halt has defeated one of the immortal Alfur, the alien species that has ruled over humanity for generations. With newfound power burning in his veins, for a brief moment, anything seemed possible. Freedom for himself, for his people, for all of Talamh. 
   
   
   
  Until the Haze struck. 
   
   
   
  Now cast into the wildlands of Talamh, Rydian struggles for survival—and his very sanity. Each time he uses his new power, the Haze threatens, tearing at his mind. But without its aid, Rydian won't last a day against the beasts that stalk him. He needs an ally, one that can teach him about the Light that now burns within him. The Alfur have kept its secrets close, but there is one who might aid him, an Alfur who seems to loathe her own people almost as much as any human. 
   
   
   
  Rotin, gladiator of the Alfur.

  Z Thornbrook and her pixie cousins thought things would be more exciting since they were now Pixie MPs. Not so far. 
   
   
   
  They're stationed in a cramped little office in a military police station on post doing mundane, boring tasks. Answering phones, directing calls, and taking care of paperwork. 
   
   
   
  There's a method to the badness. They have to prove they can be responsible when they're not battling magical threats alongside Alpha Team. 
   
   
   
  Can they convince their captain they can roll with his command? 
   
   
   
  Let's find out. Their Captain just gave the tiny but fierce soldiers new orders for low-priority policing calls around the post. It's a start. 
   
   
   
  Our favorite pint-sized military with wings seizes the chance to hit the streets and enforce the law. 
   
   
   
  Will they stay on the straight and narrow, or will they risk their newfound trust to pursue their own secret mission? What if they have a good reason?

  As an accidental deity, Matty may be able to halt the progress to devastating bloodshed. Yet if it’s revealed that he isn’t who he seems to be, he may never leave the planet alive.
