The Half-Elven Series presents the struggles of Muren Starwatcher and his half-elven daughter, Kirsten, who are both aided by true friends and hindered by prophecy. Muren fumbles with the pressures of living up to impossible expectations while still trying to pursue who and what he loves most. Kirsten Starwatcher matures from an uncertain girl plagued with guilt to a reluctant hero who finds her own path towards redemption. In Dawncaller, the Drakes of Second Dawn are awake, the Lifebane are moving against Longwood, the Dwarves are on the march to reclaim their lost holdfasts, and the Elves are pressed to save Longwood from desecration. Pursuing the maddest plan of all, the Gnomes of Halnn have engineered a machine to capture and tame a Drake. In the midst of these larger conflicts, Kirsten has discovered the mythic sword Fahde, once used to end the chaos of First Dawning, and must now travel to the edges of the world to learn how to wield its power. She has a father to cure, a mother to save, and a realm to preserve. Her journey will drive her from Longwood to the Salt Isles, from Graniteside to the sweeping sands of the Topaz Sea, and even to the crystal gates of Xlaesin itself.

Marilyn Warner looked exactly like the young, beautiful, white woman that she wanted to be; however, because of the genetic contamination that flowed through her veins of her father's cursed blackness, had caused Marilyn to come into this world a 'High Yellow' female; as were her female siblings, which also included an effeminate brother, although they were all to a lesser degree whiteness than that their older sister, Marilyn. Although the siblings were still quite often mistaken as being of the white race, but not as quickly as Marilyn; and this is what changed the entire direction of Marilyn's life forever, and turning her into the monster that she was.

"The stars are cold and blind 'til we warm them with our need and sing of what they see." From The Song of the Starwatchers In a land ravaged by plague, the new King hopes a volatile mix of faith, superstition, and trade might save his realm. Muren, the stubborn and impulsive son of the King's Starwatcher, turns to the reticent elves of Longwood for answers. Through the discovery and loss of everything he loves, Muren finds himself the reluctant father of a forbidden child, and the centre of a conflict that threatens to decimate a world he is ill equipped to save. What makes a hero? Muren may want to be one. His daughter, Kirsten, may have to be one. The world will certainly need them both.

Since its initial publication in 1979, Sources for the Study of Greek Religion has become an essential classroom resource in the field of classical studies. The Society of Biblical Literature is pleased to present a corrected edition in a new, attractive, and electronic-friendly format with hopes that it will inspire a new generation of classicists and religious historians. This volume includes primary texts and documents in translation, illustrating the range of Greek religious beliefs and practices from Homer to Alexander the Great with the addition of relevant post-classical material. The sources are arranged in chapters devoted to the Olympian gods, heroes, public religion (including rural cults), private religion, mystery cults, and death and afterlife. Introductory notes place the selections in their context in Greek history and provide basic bibliography. The volume includes a glossary of technical terms, a general index, and an index of ancient sources cited. Beyond the correction of minor errors and use of footnotes rather than endnotes, the reader will find that the present volume remains true to the original.
