Carlo Mazzoni, a young wordsmith arrives at the city gates intent on making his name as the bells ring out with the news of the death of the city’s poet-leader. Instead, he finds himself embroiled with the intrigues of a city in turmoil, the looming prospect of war with their rival Venice ever-present. A war that threatens not only to destroy Cadenza but remove it from history altogether…

Who knew cages and freaks would set me free?Growing up in trailer trash hell, the carnival was my only happy memory as a child. I held onto the magic of that memory until I could finally escape. And like Alice down the rabbit hole, I entered a world beyond my wildest dreams. A world with a shiny, colorful exterior, but filled with rot and corruption underneath. But no matter what these people put me through, I can't go back to my life before. The man with the biggest secret is the only one I can trust. He's dangerous, but he's safety to me. He's broken, but he put me back together. I'll keep his secret. My heart hopes he'll keep me. But in a hall of mirrors, how do you know what's real or an illusion?Every grueling night onstage is building up to a final show: The Wolf Man. Is he real or a hoax? Why do I feel such a pull to find out his truth? Care to join me on this wild ride? Step right up.18+Harem of Freaks is a slow-build reverse harem series. The heroine will add to her harem and build multiple relationships as the series continues.

Prva monografija moderne dobe o »klasičnem« slovenskem krasu, o pokrajini kras. Knjigo je napisala skupina slovenskih strokovnjakov, ki se vsak v okviru svoje stroke ukvarjajo s Krasom. Besedilo v angleškem jeziku je pisano strokovno, vendar tudi dovolj poljudno, tako da je razumljivo vsakomur. V knjigi so poudarjene naravoslovne značilnosti, predvsem tiste, ki so za kras bistvenega pomena – kamen in voda – (to je geološke, hidrološke, morfološke in speleološke značilnosti) in povezanost človeka s krasom (etnologija, tradicionalna arhitektura). Delo je ilustrirano z več kot 200 ilustracijami, kartami, preglednicami, grafikoni in skicami.

Frazer's series which attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king. Frazer proposed that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought.
