Jump back into the world that Raiya, Jagger, Radley, and Qira built. This time, set 200 years in the future, the Eastern Coalition now faces a new enemy; a united Empire sweeping across the Eastern Hemisphere with alarming speed. To add to the problem, their ruling family has their own agenda; the extinction of the dragon species on Earth. Fearing another struggle for superiority, they launch a preemptive attack on the otherwise peaceful people. Now, the only hope the world has rests with an imperial pilot, a scavenger, a wayward princess, and a shadow from the past.. They will have to stand together against their own biases and against an Empire at the height of its power if there is any hope of preventing the extermination of the dragon people. Cover Blurb: Two hundred years have passed, and the Red War has become a distant memory for most. Dragons and humans now live together in peace... but one powerful woman who has been deranged by history unleashes her vengeance on a helpless population. Now, the world's only hope for survival rests with Kaori, a na ve and wayward princess of the Eastern Empire. Having been disillusioned with her mother's rule, she soon discovers a dark secret about her family that will change the course of history forever. She soon crosses paths with Nayeli and Joaquim, a pair of rogues living within her borders. Their fight for survival takes an unexpected turn as a shadow of from the past reveals that the situation is more dangerous than they know. The fate of billions of lives rests on these three unlikely companions putting aside their differences to stand against the world.

300 years after the end of the Red War, a new threat rises that could plunge the world into chaos. One powerful family that is still haunted by crimes of the past decides to move against the dragon population living on Earth. Now, the only people standing in their way are a wayward princess, a pair of wanderers, and a legend from the past. Each has a different goal and different loyalties, but they will need to find a way to work together if the world is to survive.

The Red War may be over, but many wounds have not healed. For Sergeant Radley Zall, the nightmares never end. After years of struggling for survival, he finds himself in a dead end job, deporting wayward dragons to the Exclusion Zone. The horrors of his past have left him a broken man, slowly killing himself in a bottle of whiskey. It's a wearying existence that many former soldiers have been subjected to since the war ended, but for Radley, that is all about to change. Throughout his life, Radley's hatred of dragons has been unmatched until one evening when a small one shows up on his doorstep. The pathetic creature is emaciated and begging for shelter. Her appearance reminds him of his younger self, compelling him to help her. That uncharacteristic decision forces him to confront his past actions- some of which may have contributed to a sinister plot to reignite the Red War and wipe out the few remaining dragons on Earth.

"Abomination, freak, monster..." You get used to names like these when you have yellow eyes, horns, and scales, but Raiya could have really cared less. After being forced into exile because of her appearance, Raiya's mind has been focused on one goal; hunting down the dragon lord that killed her parents. For over thirty years, humanity has been locked in a struggle for survival against a race of dragons that had fallen from the heavens. They took everything from her and consumed the planet in a fierce war. Humanity's numbers are quickly dwindling, leaving her few options in the way of allies. What she doesn't know is that her journey will strike at the very heart of the Red War and uncover truths about her past that she may not want to know. Can she finish what she started while coming to terms with the truths of her origin?

The Commonwealth of Oceana, published 1656, is a composition of political philosophy written by the English politician and essayist, James Harrington (1611-1677). The unsuccessful first attempt to publish Oceana was officially censored by Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658). It was eventually published, with a dedication to Cromwell.

Oceana - The Commonwealth of Oceana - By James Harrington The Commonwealth of Oceana was published in two first editions, the "Pakeman" and the "Chapman" (first names Daniel and Livewell, respectively) by the London printer John Streater, between September and November 1656. Their contents are nearly identical. The Chapman edition was listed in the Stationers' Register of 19 Sep, and was first advertised during the week of 6 Nov in the serial Mercurius Politicus, a "quasi-official" organ of the Commonwealth. The first edition of the book was seized while at the printer and taken to Whitehall. Harrington appealed to Elizabeth Claypole, Cromwell's favourite daughter; she agreed to intervene with the Lord Protector. The book went on to be published, was widely read and attacked by Henry Ferne, later Bishop of Chester, and by Matthew Wren. In 1659 an abridged version in three volumes, entitled The Art of Lawgiving was published. Harrington's first editor was John Toland (1670

A starved child, an assassinated soviet soldier, a woman abandoned on the streets of Hong Kong, a victim of history's most mysterious killer, and a young man who never asked to be thrown into the middle of a spiritual war.

Cursed with unstable powers stemming from a fatal demonic possession, Corban must unravel the mystery behind his death. As more information comes to light, Corban begins to realize that nothing in his life was what it appeared to be and the price of victory may be his own soul.

Synopsis: How could it come to this? Why would God let this happen to me? These were questions two very different souls in very different circumstances were forced to ask. Giovanni was a poor fisherman living in 16th Century Venice. His entire family had been lost to the white plague. He suffered through their deaths only to discover that he too was infected with it. He is now alone and questioning his faith. The angel, Adalyn, was a hero of the Celestial War against Lucifer. All knew and admired her until she uncovered a plot to overthrow the Most High. In an attempted cover up, Adalyn is betrayed and cast out of Heaven. She is sent to the mortal world to face torture and death at the hands of the creatures she most fears: humans. Their worlds become intertwined when, by chance, Giovanni rescues her while out fishing. Injured and blind as the result of her expulsion, Adalyn has little choice but to rely on this primitive creature for protection against the Church, Lucifer, and God's own decree if she is to expose the true traitor and save all of existence.
