From Savagery to Civilization: The Power of Greek Mythology : Vincent Hannity
Author Vincent Hannity asks why the stories of ancient Greek mythology have endured for 2500 years, and why those myths have maintained their relevance into modern times. He does so by exploring, through their mythology, the Greeks’ journey to the apex of civilization.
“Something special within the ancient Greeks drove them from Bronze Age savagery to become the ancient embodiment of high civilization and to create the world’s first democracy,” Hannity said. “I tried to understand through their myths what those drivers were. I tried to imagine how their cultural journey of thousands of years may have unfolded.”
Greek mythology is often treated as a helter-skelter amalgamation of wildly diverse myths, legends and fairy tales. And while there are hundreds, if not thousands, of such stories, the entire body of myth, taken as a whole, is even greater than the sum of its parts.
Indeed, according to Hannity, the aggregate of Greek myths and legends actually amounts to just one story — the tale of how the ancient Greeks, from primeval mists, inched in fits and starts over thousands of years to reach the zenith of civilized society. Their culture’s story continues to resonate 2500 years after the myths that underlie it were first written down.

Strangers in the Storm: Love and Survival on Mount Rainier : Jared Rund and Diane McKenney
When strangers Jared Rund and Diane McKenney met on Mount Rainier in Washington state, neither of them knew where the next few days on one of the most dangerous peaks in North America would lead them. On the expedition thrown together by mutual friends, Jared and Diane were along for the journey to the highest point in the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Both single and in their early twenties, Diane a graduate student studying Physical Therapy in Spokane, Washington and Jared a young Air Force officer assigned to his first post in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Through a series of unforeseen events, caught in a blizzard and detached from the rest of their party, the two become lost on their descent. As they attempt to escape the mountain’s fury, their heart-pounding, hair-raising struggle to survive and get back to base camp before darkness appears promising. As they navigate deadly crevasses, high winds, severe cold, fog, and sheer rock faces the dream of finding base camp doesn’t come true. Jared and Diane are forced to spend a bewildering and frightening night high on the 14,411-foot peak without proper equipment or communications and nothing to save them except their own determination and willpower.
As their rescue mission is put together, park rangers prepared the rest of the expedition party for the worst; they had seen Rainier climbers die in storms much less severe than the storm outside hammering their friends. Facing what appeared to be the end of their lives together as complete strangers, Jared and Diane create a bond unlike any other imaginable.
But sometimes it is the toughest of times that lead to the best. And for Jared and Diane, if a mountain blizzard couldn’t stop them then nothing would. Read this amazing story of survival against the odds, and of a love that couldn’t be overcome by a deadly storm or the thousand miles that would later separate them.

Lost: A Blood Inheritance Novel : M. Ainihi
In this sequel to Rise, Amanda searches for the link between herself and the visions that afflict her.
Unsure if the people she observes are the cause or the cure of all her troubles, she focuses on the two she feels the deepest connection with, the shy healer Emily and the brave Kiami, who can control humans with her song.
For years, Emily has endured her parents’ harsh treatment without her curse showing itself, but when her best friend has an accident, she cannot ignore the compulsion to save her. She’s afraid to return home, and the wisps, glowing beings of light, seem to be her only allies as trouble and magic follow her everywhere she goes.
Before Amanda knew about the seven realms, she longed to know her mother. Now her inherited gift is the very thing she fears most, and even as she fights to keep her shadow magic at bay, she can feel it growing inside her. Plagued by nightmares and haunted by a new vision of Emily, a cryptic accusation may just send her tumbling over the edge.
Kiami’s magical abilities have always been nurtured by her guardians, but when she suddenly finds herself abandoned, she becomes desperate to find anyone that’s immune to her song. So when Amanda and her jinn companion seek her out for help, she agrees.
As their paths intertwine, the world around them becomes increasingly dangerous. There is a dark power determined to prevent them from understanding the truth, and as the teens get closer to unraveling the mystery, it becomes clear that they will have to work together if they want to survive long enough to figure it out.

Axeviathon: Son of Dragons : Tessa Dawn
As an immortal mercenary and all-around badass, Axeviathon Saphyrius has spent the last two centuries in service to a fearsome dragon lord, while biding his time awaiting his fated female – the one woman he is destined to claim and love.
He never expected to be cast into a nightmare fraught with shadow-walkers, sin-eaters, and lethal pagan enemies – he never expected his chosen mate to be up to her eyeballs in the same malevolent cult or to be used as an unwitting pawn in an epochs-old rivalry. So when his amulet heats up and her eyes turn sapphire blue, he knows he is in for a wild ride. This won’t be an ordinary claiming.
Amber Carpenter’s life may as well have been cursed. From her rocky upbringing in the foster-care system to her terrifying abduction at age fifteen by a ruthless pack of thugs, she has learned to play the hand life deals her. And somewhere along the way, she has even made peace with her tragic fate.
When a gorgeous, yet savage warrior strolls up to her teller line in King’s Castle Credit Union, Amber knows right away that something is wrong…
The way he looks at her…
The way he approaches her…
The fact that he already knows her name.
And his unnatural, hypnotic eyes—raven-black pupils surrounded by sapphire irises, a hidden fire blazing in their depths.
Amber knows he’ll be back.
When the savage demands of a dragyri male collide with the tragic misfortune of a human woman’s life, a race against time begins, and two very different worlds erupt into fire, passion, and devastation.
