It is the autumn term and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as S.T.A.G.S. To her surprise Greer receives a mysterious invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin' shootin' fishin' - an invitation to spend the half term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S.Greer joins the other chosen students at the ancient and sprawling Longcross Hall, and soon realises that they are at the mercy of their capricious host. Over the next three days, as the three bloodsports - hunting, shooting and fishing - become increasingly dark and twisted, Greer comes to the horrifying reality that those being hunted are not wild game, but the very misfits Henry has brought with him from school...

The War Resisters League was founded in 1923 by socialist pacifist Jessie Wallace Hughan and grew to become one of the most important secular absolute pacifist organizations opposing war. In his history of the origins and activities of the League, Bennett (history, Georgian Court College) argues that the organization managed evolved from a single-issue concentration on war towards a multi-issue Ghandian organization advocating for social justice. It further came to articulate a realistic, radically alternative vision of American society that served to challenge both mainstream American politics and the traditional Left.

This book is an illustrated version of the original Journalism for Women, A Practical Guide by E.A. Bennett.How to create interest where interest is not? Alas, no dissertation and no teacher can answer the question. As in other arts, so in journalism, the high essentials may not be inculcated. It is the mere technique which is imparted. By a curious paradox, the student is taught, of art, only what he already knows. Anyone can learn to write, and to write well, in any given style; but to see, to discern the interestingness which is veiled from the crowd--that comes not by tuition; rather by intuition.The best treatise on art can only hope:1.To indicate the lines of study and training which should be pursued in order to acquire the measure of mechanical accomplishment necessary to the right using of the artistic faculty.2.If the artistic faculty exists but is dormant, to awaken it by means of suggestion; and having awakened it, to show how it may be properly excited to the fullest activity of which it is capable.This book is an attempt to do these things, for women, in the art of journalism.

Elsa is finally free of the Darkzone and its cruel inhabitants. Alone on the surface, she is determined to begin a new life where fear does not control her every move. Only one obstacle stands in her way: Elsa's uncle is missing and the key to his whereabouts lies with the mysterious group of valley dwellers known as the Blood Wolves.Elsa sets out across the brittle, baked landscape to find their lair and save the man who has raised, loved and protected her.

Taken to the Blood Wolves' camp as a prisoner, Elsa becomes a pawn in an unspoken war between Noak and his master, Cohen, and in her fight to keep the people she loves safe, old fears resurface to send her down a dark path of her own making.Elsa will need all her courage and resolve to survive. Because, while she may have left the underground behind, its darkness tainted the Valley long before she arrived.

My name is Jack Wilde and up until recently, I had the perfect life. This all came crashing down around me in epic proportions when I discovered an antique compass. It turns out, the compass has a mind of its own and decided that moment was a good time to return home, taking me along with it. Now I am in an insane new world called Feira, where magic and monsters are very real. I shouldn’t have been able to get here in the first place and my only hope of getting home is to find the most powerful artifact in this world, the Sana Artifact. The only clue is the riddle written on the back of the dumb compass that brought me here. To make matters worse, the ruler of northern Feria, King Sephtis, has discovered the compasses existence and dispatched his bloody left hand, Lord Wrath, to acquire it by any means necessary. At least I have a few new friends to help keep me out of trouble.Dove is a mysterious Healer, with the ability to heal any ailment or injury. Her vast knowledge of spell work and the Old Language is worth her weight in gold, but I can’t shake the feeling she is hiding something is.

Soren is searching for something and there is no limit to how far he will go.This is the ultimate treasure hunt and we each have our own need for the Sana Artifact, but one thing is for certain. . . I will do whatever it takes to get home. I just hope to remain the same person in the process.
