Fates Spare

Adel Monet has always known her fate was to marry one of the sons of the Alpha in the Blood Moon Clan. She believed her life would be tied to Maddox, the oldest son, for this life and the next. But fate has a funny way of intervening when you’ve chosen the wrong mate. When an unexpected illness claims Maddox’s life, his brother, Phoenix, must take his place as the Spare Heir and fulfill the marriage contract. Just when Adel and Phoenix think their union is going smoothly, Adel suddenly falls ill with hauntingly the same symptoms as Maddox. Something isn’t adding up. Someone is out to hurt them, and Phoenix will stop at nothing to protect his mate and catch the person who harmed the two closest people to him. *** “How would you be remembered as an Alpha?” “I’m the spare, Adel. I’ll never have to ask myself the question.” Fates Spare is created by Anastasia O'Hare, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Thousands of years into the post oil age world scientists compete to bridge the gap between biology and computers to improve the human animal with woolier and keener traits from the animal kingdom. The fate of humanity's free will hangs in the balance when a potential mind-control weapon is implanted in the brain of a young man named Code-E. To curb the potential world dominating power of a few greedy multinationals, the Fates create a new hero from a mild mannered beer brewer, launching an adventure of vampire battles, banking revolutions and water right wars. The interpretations of a young seer girl bring them all together to prepare for an epic battle to prevent a mind-controlled army and premature Armageddon. Code of the Fates is Book 1 of the 2 book 'Ode to Impossible' series. Word count 129,200.

"The Fate of Sparta; or, The Rival Kings" by Hannah Cowley is a tragic tale set in ancient Greece, exploring themes of power, honor, and the destructive force of ambition. At its core are the rival kings of Sparta, Agesilaus and Agis, whose bitter feud drives the kingdom to the brink of destruction. As they vie for supremacy, their personal ambitions clash with their duties to their people, leading to a series of betrayals, conspiracies, and ultimately, tragedy. Through the intertwined fates of the two kings and those around them, Cowley paints a vivid portrait of the political turmoil and moral dilemmas of ancient Sparta. The play delves into the complexities of leadership and the sacrifices required to maintain power, while also examining the consequences of pride and hubris.

This book explores key questions about women's rights and gender equality in the wake of political turmoil, demographic dislocation, institutionalized violence and deep economic disparities. These questions focus on the balancing and enforcement of rights, viewed as a secular construct, within societies with deeply entrenched cultural and religious mores, and also examine the competing and sometimes contradictory claims of individual rights on the one hand and community concerns or imperatives on the other. How does a society commence the project of gender equality after a brutal history of conflict, dislocation, dispossession, exclusion, distinction and discrimination? How are the foundations laid, and legal strategies adopted and cultivated? How does a society balance what is perceived as the secular nature of rights enforcement, within a context of deeply entrenched religious mores or customary norms? And, ultimately, why does there persist such subordination, disadvantage, and discrimination despite the existence of constitutional and legal protections for women? Utilizing the South African process of legal transformation as a paradigm, author Penelope Andrews applies this model to Afghanistan, another contemporary context of transformation. These two societies serve as counterpoints through which she engages, in a nuanced and novel way, with the many broader issues that flow from the attempts in newly democratic societies to give effect to the promise of gender equality.

In the hazy history of the Old Norse… When Gisle and Geir come back from a day’s hunting, they find their farm devastated, their parents and farmhands killed, and the women of the farm gone, including their sisters Gunn and Ginna. Since their older brother Olof is trading goods in Friesland, they take shelter with their uncle Fridbjörn and his wife Holmdis, the skillful seer. No one travels through the dark night – no one but Nattfari. One dull autumn evening he knocks on the door and asks for lodging. Then he makes predictions about friends and kin, astray and in foreign lands. He tells of Olof and Gangulf in Friesland, he foretells the fate of the sisters on Zealand, and he warns of misfortune and death. Fate’s Weave is a historical adventure novel, a story of life and death far back in time, in the historical haze of Europe’s migration era. Meet the depressed berserker, Gangulf; sisters Gunn and Ginna, who sleep with three kings before winter turns to spring; the Anglo-Saxons Hewald and Hewald, who preach the word of God to Frisians and other heathens; Styrbjörn and Hreppir, who find each other in Gypeswic’s mud; the old edda Crust, decrepit but with a mind of steel, thrusting her spear at warriors; as well as Finnvid, the Finnveding who executes a splendid Yule blót at Bolmsö, thus overthrowing the invasive king Ingvald. Meet Harald and Vigr, Eirbjorg and her daughters, King Erik in Uppsala, and, last but not least, Nattfari. The Nattfari who travels far and wide and who is called by many names... Meet them and many more, whose threads of fate run together and form a strange and mighty weave.
