Ich hatte niemandem von den Worten der Prophetin erzählt, nun aber wollte ich sie mit Kaede teilen. Ich flüsterte ihr einiges davon ins Ohr: dass sich in mir dreierlei Blut vereinte, dass ich bei den Verborgenen geboren wurde, mein Leben aber nicht mehr in meiner Hand lag, dass es meine Bestimmung war, in Frieden von Meer zu Meer zu herrschen, wenn die Erde vollbrachte, was der Himmel begehrte. Ich erzählte ihr, dass fünf Schlachten uns den Frieden bringen würden, vier als Sieger, eine als Besiegte, aber ich verschonte sie mit dem, was die Prophetin mir über meinen eigenen Sohn geweissagt hatte: dass ich dereinst von seiner Hand sterben würde.

Endlich ist Takeo mit Kaede vereint. Heimlich und gegen den Willen der Clans haben sie sich vermählt. Doch den Liebenden bleibt nicht viel Zeit, ihr gemeinsames Glück zu genießen. Denn Takeos Schicksal wird von Mächten bestimmt, die er nicht beeinflussen kann. Und die Otorilords, die seinen Herrschaftsanspruch bestreiten, rüsten bereits zum Kampf gegen ihn. Mit einer kleinen, unerfahrenen Armee zieht Takeo in die Schlacht. Kaede bleibt zurück, voller unguter Vorahnungen. Nun wird sich zeigen, ob die Prophezeiung, die ihrem Geliebten einst gemacht wurde, sich erfüllt.

Download Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter PDF File

Indiana, 1818. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his suffering mother's bedside. She's been stricken with something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness."

"My baby boy..." she whispers before dying.

Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire.

When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.

While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years.

Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.

Download Masters of American Comics Online Book PDF

Comic strips and comic books were among the most popular and influential forms of mass media in 20thcentury America. This fascinating book focuses on fifteen pioneering cartoonists—ranging from Winsor McCay to Chris Ware—who brought this genre to the highest level of artistic expression and who had the greatest impact on the development of the form.Organized chronologically, Masters of American Comics explores the rise of newspaper comic strips and comic books and considers their artistic development throughout the century. Presenting a wide selection of original drawings as well as progressive proofs, vintage printed Sunday pages, and comic books themselves, the authors also look at how the art of comics was transformed by artistic innovation as well as by changes in popular taste, economics, and printing conventions.First appearing in newspaper Sunday supplements, the comic strip became immediately successful and created the largest audience of any medium of its time. The comic book first began as a way to print existing newspaper comics, then subsequently established the mass popularity of superheroes in the 1940s and 1950s before it matured as a vehicle for independent personal expression in the underground comic books and graphic novels of the 1960s.Included in the book are insightful and entertaining essays on individual artists written by major figures in the fields of comics, narrative illustration, literature, popular culture, and art history. Masters of American Comics convincingly positions the genre of comics into the history of art and is destined to become a classic text for years to come.
