Songs from the Stars
by Norman SpinradHe was Clear Blue Lou, perfect master of the Clear Blue Way, at one with the law of muscle, sun, wind and water governing Aquaria. She was Sunshine Sue, always in a hurry in a world that was too slow, Queen of Word of Mouth. Their meeting had been arranged - but by whom? and why? Beyond the beginning of where the world ended, beyond the highest peaks of its primeval majesty, lay a radio active hell and the lairs of the black sorcerers, the Spacers. The black scientists had not forgotten man's old dream of touching the stars: they wanted the Age of Space reborn. But they needed a little help.

Songs of Earth and Power: The Complete Series (Songs of Earth and Power #2)
by Greg BearMusic, myth, and magic mix—in this two-volume fantasy masterpiece by a New York Times–bestselling author that is a &“joy to read&” (Publishers Weekly). Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Greg Bear explores the power of music to open a portal between worlds in this pair of brilliantly imagined fantasy novels. The Infinity Concerto: Following the instructions of a virtuoso composer—whose controversial Concerto Opus 45 is actually a song of power—young poet Michael Perrin passes through a gateway between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic, and Michael&’s epic journey begins . . . The Serpent Mage: After five years trapped in the Realm of the Sidhedark, Michael has returned home to Los Angeles. But the song of power has weakened the veil between the human and fairie worlds, and the Sidhe have followed him to the other side . . .
Songs of Enchantment: A Novel (The Famished Road Trilogy #2)
by Ben OkriSet in an African village, this follow-up to the Man Booker Prize–winning novel is &“sometimes whimsical, sometimes bawdy . . . Fraught with wild visions&” (The Times). &“All is not well in the African village where Azaro lives. The child narrator of poet and novelist Okri&’s The Famished Road, who had outwitted death in the previous book, again relates the oppressive events that continue to plague his village and his family. While political factionalization shatters the community's cohesiveness, the prodigious bar owner Madame Koto, chief exponent of the &‘Party of the Rich,&’ alternately exudes portentous metaphysical malaise and miraculous erotic force. Little Azaro, himself touched and distracted by a series of animuses, follows the heels of &‘dad,&’ who is a resounding vessel, by turns, of cantankerous egotism and abased self-sacrifice. This Nigerian epic reveals a violent provincial world, opaque with magical spirits which place horrendous ethical demands on fragile and fickle humanity, as if to test each individual for a thread of virtuous constancy at the core. Events drench the essentially linear narrative with all the ruthless sensuousness of a tropical storm, and Okri&’s prose is lucid and deft.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Okri conjures up the fabulous with the same ease as he affectingly details the ways of the human spirit in a lovingly evoked African setting teeming with life—both real and mythic . . . Stunning.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Once again we&’re bedazzled and bedeviled by Okri&’s phantasmagoric prose and the strange and wondrous sensibility of Azaro, a spirit-child living in a poor African village.&” —Booklist &“Both a love story and an account of the political turmoil between the parties of Rich and Poor.&” —The Independent &“Passages of extraordinary beauty . . . Okri paints a convincing surrealist picture.&” —The Sunday Times

There are no exceptions, not even for one of their own.Novice Knight Gair can hear music no one else can, beautiful, terrible music: music with power. In the Holy City, that can mean only one thing: death by fire—until an unlikely intervention gives him a chance to flee the city and escape the flames.With the Church Knights and their witchfinder hot on his heels, Gair hasn't time to learn how to use the power growing inside him, but if he doesn't master it, that power will tear him apart. His only hope is the secretive Guardians of the Veil, though centuries of persecution have almost destroyed their Order, and the few Guardians left have troubles of their own.For the Veil between worlds is weakening, and behind it, the Hidden Kingdom, ever-hungry for dominion over the daylight realm, is stirring. Though he is far from ready, Gair will find himself fighting for his own life, for everyone within the Order of the Veil, and for the woman he has come to love.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Sonhos Dracônicos
by Dusty Lynn Holloway Débora C R de SouzaEm minha sombra você dorme, faminto por minha alma. Em meu coração você vive, alimentado e em paz. Em minha vida você pertence, sempre. O alvorecer rubro da guerra se choca com a maré. Cai o negror. Sombras ganham vida. Eu chamo por você. Vejo você do outro lado do campo de batalha, chamando por mim. Tantos estão entre nós. Viro as costas para a maré; a maré avança, crescendo, estourando, cobrindo. Levanto minha mão e encaro o céu acima. Cai o silêncio. Uma quietude. Lágrimas caem. Líquidas, elas caem pelo meu rosto, minhas bochechas encardidas, em minhas roupas manchadas de sangue. Levanto minha outra mão. Uma explosão de tempo avança, galopando como meu coração enquanto aguardo o golpe final. . . Mas ele nunca vem. Eu congelei o momento no tempo, enquanto a lâmina destinada ao meu coração perfura o dele. Os soluços estrangulam meu peito enquanto encaro o metal, reluzindo vermelho como o sol nascente, despontando de seu peito. Seus olhos estão também congelados, fixados nos meus. Eles não parecem surpresos. Eu caio de joelhos; lágrimas rolam mais intensamente. Ouço sua voz. Um berro, um grito de dor e raiva e desespero e medo atravessando o campo. Eu não me volto. Eu olho direto para frente, para os olhos que estão fixos nos meus enquanto trago ambas as mãos para baixo em um gesto tão cortante quanto a lâmina. Luz explode para fora a partir de mim, disparando através do campo de batalha, consumindo tudo. Eu caio. Ele cai também. Seus olhos falam de coisas que ele não pode dizer. Eles se fecham após um minuto, mas os meus permanecem abertos. Você, então, me alcança. Todos os outros estão prensados ao chão, revolvendo-se na terra encharcada de sangue, mas você chega até mim. Você me vira com a face para cima. Você me recolhe em seus braços. Você chora, mas meus olhos estão secos agora. Meus olhos estão secos. —Vai ficar tudo bem — eu sussurro para você. — Vai ficar
