The Myths of Hyawan Man at the centre of creations Myths play a vital role to study what our ancestors did in the ancient past and find answers for some of our existential questions in mind. Few understand the nature of myths as it is a way of interpreting higher truths found in the abstract state (world) and relating in common terms.Humanity has passed through layers and layers of great events that eventually shaped the way we, the contemporaries, think and act today. The Myths of Hyawan takes you back in time and puts you near the stage where an important act took place 7000 years ago between Man and creatures of other kind.Kahzn, a newly arrived human with a gift of Life from the heavens, obliviously found himself in the middle of a deadly power play amongst the Avians, the Beasts and the Animals kind. Although he emerged out victorious at first, it didn't guarantee him or his kind to hold their highest positions among all creatures for so long.Later on, his own partner, the woman, made one bold move that cost not only Kahzn but the generations of all kinds that followed as well. This book is the complete version of its predecessor, the Myths of Kahzn. The narration and the dialogues immerse readers within the actions and the plots of the story and surf along with the emotional tides of the characters. Most importantly, as we read through the pages of the book, we find some fascinating truth about ourselves, as human beings, and some shocking clues about 'the behind the scenes' of the world drama.
Four merchants stumble upon a magnificent palace, where events make them question their past experiences and assumptions. This tale shows that looks can be deceptive, and that there are deeper reasons to help others than we might assume.

This volume examines questions concerning the construction of gender and identity in the earliest days of what is now Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Methodologically explicit, the contributions analyze textual and material sources related to these religious traditions in their cultural contexts. The sources examined are predominantly products of patriarchal elite discourses requiring innovative approaches to unveil aspects of gender otherwise hidden. This volume extends the discussion represented in the volume Gender and Second-Temple Judaism (2020) and highlights the fruitfulness of interdisciplinary research beyond anachronistic discipline distinctions.

A wheel of ravens revelled loudlyOver a bitter battle of bold fightersWho lost their lives and lay in mud,A feast of flesh for the frenzied birds...From Adam Bolivar, balladeer extraordinaire and author of The Ettinfell of Beacon Hill, comes a landmark volume of poetry that harkens back to the adventurous myths of the Anglo-Saxons and the Dark Ages...Alliterative verse was the traditional poetic form used in Old English poems such as Beowulf and The Wanderer, as well as in Old Norse sagas and the Poetic Edda of the Icelanders. Outlawed by the Normans as a symbol of nativist rebellion after their conquest of England in the year 1066, this ancient form is now all but forgotten. A Wheel of Ravens is the first ever collection of original verse written in the Old English alliterative style. Braiding together threads of early English paganism, folkloric elements-including a speculative pre-history of the storytelling tradition of Jack Tales-and the dream-cycle of H. P. Lovecraft, Adam Bolivar offers an intricate poetic tapestry bursting with myth and story, as unique as it is remarkable.This groundbreaking work will surely be of great interest to fans of Seamus Heaney's Beowulf: A New Verse Translation. With a foreword by Dennis Wilson Wise (a noted authority on Tolkien and epic fantasy), an introduction by the author, and a useful glossary. Richly illustrated with images of Anglo-Saxon artifacts, artwork and more.

A forbidden obsessionUnyielding family allegianceThree deadly challengesWhen a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom for her research goes horribly wrong, biologist Callie Peterson finds herself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and viciously handsome Unseelie Fae prince. He thinks she's an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a scientist, and he imprisons her in his realm-where unwillingly, unwittingly, his obsession with her begins to grow. Prince Mendax has never felt anything but loathing until his eyes met hers: this vile human assassin's. He believes she's here to kill him, and yet her beauty is a parasite that has mercilessly latched onto his mind and won't let go. He itches to feel her smooth skin, even though the Unseelie royals would rather burn than touch a human. It's a dangerous desire. If he does not destroy the girl soon, she may be the only thing capable of destroying him. Mendax needs to be rid of her-but he also needs to entertain his people. And so, he challenges Callie to three deadly trials. If she survives, she gains her freedom. If she doesn't? His wrath is only just beginning.
