  • THE CONQUEST OF ROME

    Matilde Serao

    eBook
    The train stopped.'Capua! Capua!' three or four voices cried monotonously into the night.A clanking of swords dragged on the ground was heard, and some lively muttering that passed between a Lombard and a Piedmontese. It came from a group of subaltern officers, who were ending their evening's amusement in coming to see the night train from Naples to Rome pass through. While the conductor chatted respectfully with the station-master, who gave him a commission for Caianello, and while the postman handed up a mail-sack full of letters to the clerk in the postal van, the officers, talking to each other and making their spurs ring (from habit), looked to see if anyone got in or out of the train, peeping through the doors which were open for the sight of a fair feminine face or that of a friend. But many of the doors were closed. Blue blinds were stretched over the panes, through which glimmered a faint lamplight, as if coming from a place where lay travellers overpowered by sleep. Bodies curled up in a dark tangle of coats, shawls, and sundry coverings, were dimly discernible.

  • The Conquest

    Eva Emery Dye

    (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 30, 2016)
    The old brick palace at Williamsburg was in a tumult. The Governor tore off his wig and stamped it under foot in rage. "I'll teach them, the ingrates, the rebels!" Snatching at a worn bell-cord, but carefully replacing his wig, he stood with clinched fists and compressed lips, waiting. "They are going to meet in Williamsburg, eh? I'll circumvent them. These Virginia delegates! These rebellious colonists! I'll nip their little game! The land is ripe for insurrection. Negroes, Indians, rebels! There are enough rumblings now. Let me but play them off against each other, and then these colonists will know their friends. Let but the Indians rise—like naked chicks they'll fly to mother wings for shelter. I'll show them! I'll thwart their hostile plans!"

  • The Conquest of Night

    Justin James

    language (Webmad, Aug. 3, 2012)
    Jackson Taeric lived in a small town of Hartengle, Canada, leading an average and uneventful life. That was until one unforgettable winter’s day. Jackson was chased into a small clearing within a forest that he passed through hundreds of times before. In this glade, he stumbled upon a gateway, and woke up to find himself in a distant and strange land, gripped by war. In this new world, the Night, a powerful group of grey-skinned people launched a seemingly unprovoked attack against the Eternai, with whom they had coexisted in peace for centuries. The Night ruthlessly besieged the land of the Eternai, whose loyal citizens struggle to band together and repel the invaders. Jackson must chose a side, for the decisions he will make in this distant land could lead to the downfall of an empire.
