Werwölfe, Gestaltwandler oder wie auch immer sie genannt werden, leben seit Jahrtausenden in einer Parallel Welt. Dort leben sie ohne das Wissen der Menschheit. Nur haben die Männlichen Werwölfe ein Problem: Finden sie ihre Mate nicht vorm Ende ihres 18 Lebensjahr, bleiben sie für immer in ihrer Wolfsgestalt gefangen.
Prinz Dalarion wird der zukünftige Alpha des ganzen Landes und steht kurz vor seinem 18 Geburtstag. Seine Mate hat er noch nicht gefunden, wie viele anderen im diesen Land. Weswegen die Königsfamilie eine Suche in der Menschenwelt anordnet. Denn es gibt einige, wenige, Wölfe die Mates spüren können.
Als der Suchtrupp an die Schule von Alexia Rose Summer kommt findet Prinz Dalarion seine Mate in ihr – zum Leid seiner Eltern. Denn Alexia scheint gar nicht die Position der Prinzessin würdig zu sein.
Dadurch das sie unter der Gewalt ihres Vaters aufgewachsen ist, ist sie zu Unterwürfig um die zukünftige Luna zu werden.
Daher versuchen die Eltern von Prinz Dalarion alles zu tun, dass eine andere den Thron betritt und Alexia nur die Mätresse wird.
Aber Alexia will bei dem ganzen Spiel gar nicht mit Spielen und nur zurück in ihre Heimat und wehrt sich mit allen sich in ihre zugedachte Rolle einzufinden.
Doch jeder vertritt andere Interessen, das Volk, der Prinz, Alexia, das Königpaar und die Angestellten. Wer kann dem allen schon gerecht werden?
Lasst euch in eine andere Welt ziehen wo Intrigen, Liebe und Hass herrscht. Gewährt euch einen Einblick ins Königliche Leben und werdet Teil eines nicht selbt bestimmten Schicksals. Taucht ein in das Leben von Alexia Rose Summer und lasst euch von ihr verzaubern – denn so schwach wie sie aussieht, ist sie nicht.
Was ist das Ende der Geschichte?
Glück oder Pech?
Liebe oder Hass?
Fröhlichkeit oder Traurigkeit?
Königshaus oder Bürger?
Sehr selbst und lasst euch Verzaubern!
Viele Grüße

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is a tale noted for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality — as seen in Long John Silver — unusual for children's literature. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.
Bones becomes a long-term lodger at the inn, only paying for about the first week of his stay. Jim quickly realizes that Bones is in hiding, and that he particularly dreads meeting an unidentified seafaring man with one leg. Some months later, Bones is visited by a mysterious sailor named Black Dog. Their meeting turns violent, Black Dog flees and Bones suffers a stroke. While Jim cares for him, Bones confesses that he was once the mate of a notorious late pirate, Captain Flint, and that his old crewmates want Bones' sea chest. Some time later, another of Bones' crew mates, a blind man named Pew, appears at the inn and forces Jim to lead him to Bones. Pew gives Bones a paper. After Pew leaves, Bones opens the paper to discover it is marked with the Black Spot, a pirate summons, with the warning that he has until ten o'clock to meet their demands. Bones drops dead of apoplexy (in this context, a stroke) on the spot. Jim and his mother open Bones' sea chest to collect the amount due to them for Bones' room and board, but before they can count out the money that they are owed, they hear pirates approaching the inn and are forced to flee and hide, Jim taking with him a mysterious oilskin packet from the chest. The pirates, led by Pew, find the sea chest and the money, but are frustrated that there is no sign of "Flint's fist". [more]

BANE is an amazing collection of 4 mind-blowing short stories. It’s a wicked fiction, about the dark side of life known as witchcraft, which victimises us black folk in the townships and the villages of South Africa on a daily basis. I call it wicked because witchcraft is the most harrowing evil side of life in the black townships and the villages of South Africa. The stories are set in the former homeland of Transkei, in the province of the Eastern Cape, and in the township called Mdantsane, in the Border region of the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The first story, REJECT, takes you into the supernatural dark world of the wicked witches where the victims are turned into things that look and act like real humans, in what appears to be a small town, as witnessed by the latest victim of witchcraft by the name of Wendy, who is the main character, who has no clue whatsoever, how she got there, and how to get out.

The 2nd story, THE COLLEGE, takes place in a boarding school in Umtata where a little witch by the name of Sylvia, posing as a student, has bewitched all of her dorm mates, all the 13 girls, in association with her grandfather, disguised as the boarding master.

EXPOSED 1, the 3rd story, really gets down to the powerful and deadly art of exposing the foul deeds of witchcraft. 2 boys Bongani and Manyano decide to go for a traditional circumcision to become men, only to discover some members of their own families hard at work bewitching them. In my language we call the rite of passage from boyhood to manhood "UKWALUKA." It's that rite of passage that will disrupt the whole process of the witches' plans.

The attractions Roopa experienced and the fantasies she entertained as a teen shaped a male imagery that ensconced her subconscious. Insensibly, confident carriage came to be associated with the image of maleness in her mind-set. Her acute consciousness of masculinity only increased her vulnerability to it, making her womanliness crave for the maleness for its gratification.
However, as her father was constrained to help her in becoming a doctor, she opts to marry, hoping that Sathyam might serve her cause though the persona she envisioned as masculine, she found lacking in him. But as he fails to go with her idea, she becomes apathetic towards him, and insensibly sinks into her friend Sandhya’s embrace, for lesbian solace.
Soon, in a dramatic sequence of events, Tara, a suave call girl, tries to rope Roopa into her calling; Roopa herself loses her heart to Sandhya's beau Raja Rao, and Prasad, her husband’s friend falls for her. And as Prasad begins to induce Sathyam to be seduced by whores to worm his way into her affections, Roopa finds herself in a dilemma. However, as fate puts Raja Rao into Roopa’s arms in such a way as to lend novelty to fiction, this ‘novel’ nuances man-woman chemistry on one hand, and portrays woman-woman empathy on the other.
Who said the novel is dead; 'Benign Flame' raises the bar as vouched by -
The plot is quite effective and it’s a refreshing surprise to discover that the story will not trace a fall into disaster for Roopa, given that many writers might have habitually followed that course with a wife who strays into extramarital affairs - Spencer Critchley, Literary Critic, U.S.A.
The author has convinced the readers that love is something far beyond the marriage tie and the fulfillment love can be attained without marriage bondage. The author has achieved a minor revolution without any paraphernalia of revolution in the fourth part of the novel – The Quest, India.
The author makes free use of – not interior monologue as such, but – interior dialogue of the character with the self, almost resembling the dramatic monologue of Browning. Roopa, Sandhya, Raja Rao and Prasad to a considerable extent and Tara and Sathyam to a limited degree indulge in rationalization, trying to analyse their drives and impulses – The Journal of Indian Writing in English.
Overall, Benign Flame is a unique attempt at exploring adult relationships and sexuality in the contemporary middle-class. All the characters come alive with their cravings and failings, their love and their lust. Benign Flame blurs the lines and emphasizes that life is not all black and white - it encompasses the full spectrum of living - Indian Book Chronicle.
