Résultats pour "Fae" dans Science-fiction

I'm not saying I've thoroughly enjoyed the three years I've spent in captivity on a pleasure planet, shaking my money-maker for intergalactic patrons… but, I mean, it hasn't been all bad. The jelly donuts were a perk. Granted, I didn't really know what I was signing up for when I agreed to be purchased by the sexy pink shark-man, but things seem to be looking up.

Since Peaches woke up in a fantasy world full of monsters and fae, she’s been treated like a piece of tasty human meat. After six years as a blood slave to vampires and the evil Unseelie queen—beholden to all, and master of none—there’s nothing left but a broken shell with a fractured soul. Until a deadly warrior turns up unannounced in her room. Vampire Haze is the muscle of the Fae Guardians elite cadre of 12. He is a spy, a protector of the weak, hammer and sword, a rigid enforcer of rules. He allows no one close to his heart, lest they see the shame driving him.

Fae Wars returns on a new front as war rages in the Pacific Northwest! Corporal Erik Doherty isn't some kind of special operations super soldier; he’s just an infantry grunt trying to get by in what was once the United States Army, now an enforcement arm of the Fae overlords. When orders come down from a chain of command more interested in boot licking their new masters than protecting American citizens, he has to make the choice. To serve and live, or run and die?

When winter comes to the Court of Dreams, the war against the Subterranean of Nightmares freezes. To celebrate, the faerie queen holds a tournament where mortals compete for the prize of a dream come true. For outsider Willow Nightstalk, it's the only way to break the curse making her as ugly as she feels. But the deadly tournament has a darker purpose—to flush out flawed mortal blights on the perfectly pretty fae society… and to kill them.

In August 2015, the war started, portals opening up between their world and ours, allowing the Fae to return to our (or their) home world in blood, fire and magic. Conventional forces fought back as well as they could, but the invasion had been planned to hit us in the middle of our civilization. America’s military was scattered overseas or concentrated in large bases that were quickly overwhelmed by forces that were dropped right in the middle of their units.

What do Jay Hoskins, Jasmine (Jazzy) Chibeaux, and Jesse Ordunez have in common? They're all agents of the External Affairs Bureau. On the surface, their mission is simple. Hunt Demons and creatures that threaten the humans. But not every Demon or Vampire is a threat, and they'll have to weave their way through the hidden society that most humans never see. When a simple burglary leads them to a powerful Witch and a Duke of Hell, they realize they're on to something big. A long-lost Grimoire might be the catalyst that starts the Apocalypse, and unfortunately, it's already in her hands.

Ex-cop and PI Robert Hoskins knows some cases are tougher than others, especially when dark magic is involved. A call from the local pack master about some missing weres is more than it seems. Portals to the underworld have opened, and ancient creatures long thought dead have returned. As a fae, Robert's faced off with demons before but always as the hunter, never the prey. What magic force has opened the portals, and why is it travelling through the hells of the underworld releasing demons in its wake? Robert needs old friends and new allies to find out.

You see plenty of strange things when you're a PI in Las Vegas, but even that couldn't prepare ex-cop Robert Hoskins for what was to come. At first he couldn't believe that all those stories he'd been told as a child were true. But hearing that the fae had taken the casinos over from the mob was something else. Elves, dwarves, werewolves and faeries were just the beginning and battling dark mages, the opening act.

Ex-cop turned private investigator Robert Hoskins always enjoyed the stories his grandmother had told him as a child, stories of the Dryad that lived in the tree, the Faeries in the garden, and the magical world that was created in his imagination. He always enjoyed them; he just never thought that they were true. Robert's childhood world of magic becomes real when a chance encounter with a local casino mob boss introduces him to the world he was born into, the world that was hidden from him, the world of the Fae.

As an ex-cop and PI, Robert Hoskins thought he'd seen it all. Then, while working a simple case, his world changed. The next thing he knew, he was battling wizards, demons, and even the occasional dragon. Now, with government agents closing in on him in the human world and the ancient dwarves threatening the Fae lands, he's got to prepare himself for his most daunting task of all: telling his adult children they are the descendants of Greek gods!

Perry has one goal: to find the best friend she lost when the world ended. Even after five years, she's not given up hope. But a sudden change in the weather finds her more than she bargained for. If only the end of the world wasn't so complicated.

For the first time in two hundred years an enemy has stepped foot on American soil and war has come to our cities. The foe is unstoppable and...Fae. Creatures from a legendary past who have come to reclaim the Earth. In the hills of Pennsylvania a ragtag, devastated army prepares to make a last stand against dragon fire capable of melting an Abrams tank and wizardry that stops fifth-generation fighter jets in mid-air. Inevitably it comes down to shining steel versus human will, and Sergeant Oliva Acevedo transforms from a hospital clerk into a hardened fighter.

What would you do if America and the world were invaded tomorrow by a relentless and brutal enemy? In an alternate 2015, a US Army Special Forces Team, part of the legendary black ops unit "Delta", is in midtown Manhattan to take out a Chinese spy and his handlers, sending a message short of outright conflict. All goes smoothly until they find themselves in a full-blown shooting war through the canyons of the City.

I thought returning to the past would be the hard part . . . I make it back to the past but when I get there, the trouble has already begun. The MacGregor name has been outlawed. Those who bear it are being hunted like animals. The Clan MacGregor is driven from their lands and retreat to the Highlands, their ancestral home. All I want is to find Duncan, but when I finally get news of him, it's not bad, it's terrible. He's been captured by Lord Nicholas. A Scottish noble known for his dark, evil acts before the troubles and what he's doing to MacGregors is unspeakable

On a trip to Scotland, Highland Mists transported me to the past where I met the Highlander, Duncan MacGregor. The man who stole my heart. The Fae I met there say I have a destiny. Either save or end magic. Save this world or replace it with another. They label me "Destroyer". Now I've been pulled back to the modern world. The Fae are silent, but all I want is to get back. Back to the Scottish Highlands and the man who holds my heart.

Ex-cop and PI Robert Hoskins didn't think twice when an old friend needed help. But little did he know where the evidence would lead him when he dug deeper into the case. Demons, dragons, monsters and fallen angels are only the tip of the iceberg when his old enemy escapes from Tartarus and seeks her revenge. There are wars to be waged and enemies galore as an ancient prophesy resurfaces and the universe attempts to seek balance.

I’m not going to die today. That simple phrase has been my motto for the last two years, keeping me alive during the apocalypse I never saw coming. Everyday the undead creep closer, their attacks becoming more frequent.

The Goddess giveth and the Goddess taketh away. One minute Robert is fighting Demons in the pits of Hades and in the next he's standing in his old office at the local P.D. He's back in Vegas and wearing a badge, only something isn't right. He's human again and this isn't the Vegas he grew up in. This is somewhere else. Now Robert will have to navigate a world where magical creatures live openly with humans and magic spells are something you can buy at the corner store. If he can't find out why Gaea sent him here, he could be trapped forever in a place where he's mortal.

Jasper knows he is someone damaged and dangerous, the scars on his body prove it.
