＜p＞All the official reports say they are dead - extinct since the late '80s, when a fed named Jameson Arkeley nailed the last vampire in a fight that nearly killed him. But the evidence proves otherwise. When a state trooper named Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in the middle of the night, it is Arkeley who gets the assignment - who else? He's been expecting such a call. Sure, it's been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what most people don't: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is rotting, plotting and biding her time in a way that only the undead can.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than just Caxton's blood. They want her for a reason, one she can't guess; a reason her sphinxlike partner knows but won't say; a reason she has to find out or die trying. Now there are only 13 bullets between Caxton and Arkeley and the vampires. There are only 13 bullets between us, the living, and them, the damned.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】True Immortality【電子書籍】[ Alexander Chirila ]

＜p＞The vampire has been on a centuries-long pilgrimage, searching for its birthplace. There, it hopes to create a true immortal in its image, a blood-drinker with immeasurable power. Opposing the vampire are the human Hunter and Oracle, one gifted with the humanity and resilience, and the other with the knowledge and power to resist a monster older than the pyramids. Millennia ago, the Hunter and Oracle defeated the vampire. Two generations ago, Jonah Daniels sacrificed his life to put the vampire in the ground for over a hundred years. He thought his journal destroyed, and with it, the only clue to the whereabouts of the vampire's destination. He was wrong. Now, Harper Daniels and Mary are struggling to stay one step ahead of an opponent that has already chosen an heir to receive the ultimate sacrament. What better way to repay the original Hunter's victory than by transforming the inheritor of his title into a blood-drinker? True Immortality recasts the vampire in its original role: humankind's perfect and undying predator. Set in Italy, Alaska, New York, and the Tierra del Fuego, the novel follows Harper's tragic effort to stand against a fate orchestrated before his birth. The harder he struggles to defend his humanity and protect Mary, the deeper he plunges into the malignant power that will change him forever.＜br /＞ Mary had buried her mother's teachings in her mind, choosing a normal life over the legacy of her responsibility as the heir to her mother's power. But her destiny was never far behind, and her marriage into the Daniels family entwined her life into the ancient conflict between the vampire and its human enemies.＜br /＞ The vampire sends its emissary, McEvelin Roberts, to guide Harper through a nightmare gauntlet that he believes is intended to elicit the information sought by his immortal pursuer above all else. What Harper doesn't know is that the vampire has already chosen him to receive the final sacrament. The only question is: will he be able to preserve his humanity long enough to defeat the Vampire, or will his ultimate acceptance of its power turn him into a true immortal?＜br /＞ When the vampire's destination is revealed at last, the endgame begins. The Changed Ones converge on the Tierra del Fuego, circling around Harper and Mary as they prepare to strike the vampire during the only moment it will be vulnerable. The blood-drinker has already planned every move well in advance of its quarry, so that when the time comes the two trials vital to the completion of the ritual will be performed with the free will they require: Harper must drink the blood of the Oracle, the woman he loves and would sacrifice himself for. He must also drink directly from the source, the vampire itself, in the moment of his last human choice: either he accepts the power that will offer him the only chance to save the Oracle, or allow his every sacrifice to come to nothing.＜br /＞ Harper's love drives him, his defiance betrays him, and with every effort to challenge his enemy, he succeeds only in giving in to the blood-drinker's power. Can Mary remember her mother's teachings in time? Can Harper withstand the temptation to fight fire with fire? It will all come down to a choice made on the battlefield of Harper's mind.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Love Reborn【電子書籍】[ Tamara Zeegers ]

＜p＞Nanach might have been around for three and a half millennia, but patience is still not one of her strong points. It sure didn’t help her getting her love turned in the past. Nevertheless when she comes upon him reincarnated again after a couple of hundred years, she’ll be damned if it ain’t going to work out this time! (another one of her traits; her perseverance).＜/p＞ ＜p＞But wait! Something’s wrong, he’s old. Well…a world famous musician in his late forties, so not the smooth faced youngster she’s encountered in the past. It can mean only one thing, her old time adversary is back on the scene. This brings back memories of times gone by. From the last occasion they met during the forlorn days that set off the French revolution, the story proceeds backwards to her meeting him the first time and her initiation into the ancient Egyptian blood mysteries, which episode ends when his last life as a vampire comes to a brutal end. But let’s not forget the account of Nanach inadvertently violating the chastity of a Franciscan novice when discovering he is her love reborn.＜br /＞ Each and every single one of those encounters ends with his untimely death, through the manipulation of an unidentified foe. She still has to discover the who or why of it all, so when her long time associate, P, shows his deformed face, she is sure glad to see him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dave, then again, is experiencing troubles of his own. His marriage is on the brink of breaking up when into his life walks this beautiful woman, available and to say willing would be a blunt understatement. On top of it all it turns out she is one of the undead (though when he dares to call her that she is more than a little annoyed).＜/p＞ ＜p＞Meeting his true love should have subsequently resulted in the onset of eternal happiness, but the introduction of this splendid creature is followed by that of her blood thirsty, power mad pursuers, who are not only out to spoil his latest gig in London, but to end his life in the nastiest possible way.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some of the newly united couple’s oldest Egyptian allies turn out to hold a very ancient grudge indeed. During their centuries long pursuit of Nanach and Dave, they have managed to set powerful forces to their hand and slaughtered anyone crossing their path without impunity. This time Nanach and her companions come very close to buckling under their enemy’s malice, if it were not for their one flaw, their own conceit.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Dracula : [Illustrations ,Free Audio Book Link And Free Movie Link]【電子書籍】[ Bram Stoker ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Plot Summary＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The novel is told in epistolary format, as a series of letters, diary entries, ships' log entries, and so forth. The main writers of these items are also the novel's protagonists. The story is occasionally supplemented with newspaper clippings that relate events not directly witnessed by the story's characters. The events portrayed in the novel take place largely in England and Transylvania during 1893.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The tale begins with Jonathan Harker, a newly qualified English solicitor, journeying by train and carriage from England to Count Dracula's crumbling, remote castle (situated in the Carpathian Mountains on the border of Transylvania, Bukovina, and Moldavia). The purpose of his mission is to provide legal support to Dracula for a real estate transaction overseen by Harker's employer, Peter Hawkins, of Exeter in England. At first enticed by Dracula's gracious manner, Harker soon discovers that he has become a prisoner in the castle. He also begins to see disquieting facets of Dracula's nocturnal life. One night while searching for a way out of the castle, and against Dracula's strict admonition not to venture outside his room at night, Harker falls under the spell of three wanton female vampires, "the Sisters". He is saved at the last second by the Count, because he wants to keep Harker alive just long enough to obtain needed legal advice and teachings about England and London (Dracula's planned travel destination so as to be among the "teeming millions"). Harker barely escapes from the castle with his life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Not long afterward, a Russian ship, the Demeter, having weighed anchor at Varna, runs aground on the shores of Whitby, England, during a fierce tempest. All of the crew are missing and presumed dead, and only one body is found, that of the captain tied to the ship's helm. The captain's log is recovered and tells of strange events that had taken place during the ship's journey. These events led to the gradual disappearance of the entire crew apparently owing to a malevolent presence on board the ill-fated ship. An animal described as a large dog is seen on the ship leaping ashore. The ship's cargo is described as silver sand and boxes of "mould", or earth, from Transylvania.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Soon Dracula is tracking Harker's devoted fianc?e, Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray, and her friend, Lucy Westenra. Lucy receives three marriage proposals in one day, from Dr. John Seward; Quincey Morris; and the Hon. Arthur Holmwood (later Lord Godalming). Lucy accepts Holmwood's proposal while turning down Seward and Morris, but all remain friends. Dracula has a notable encounter with Seward's patient Renfield, an insane man who means to consume insects, spiders, birds, and other creatures ー in ascending order of size ー in order to absorb their "life force". Renfield acts as a motion sensor, detecting Dracula's proximity and supplying clues accordingly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lucy begins to waste away suspiciously. All of her suitors fret, and Seward calls in his old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing from Amsterdam. Van Helsing immediately determines the cause of Lucy's condition but refuses to disclose it, knowing that Seward's faith in him will be shaken if he starts to speak of vampires. Van Helsing tries multiple blood transfusions, but they are clearly losing ground. On a night when Van Helsing must return to Amsterdam (and his message to Seward asking him to watch the Westenra household is delayed), Lucy and her mother are attacked by a wolf. Mrs. Westenra, who has a heart condition, dies of fright, and Lucy apparently dies soon after.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lucy is buried, but soon afterward the newspapers report children being stalked in the night by, in their words, a "bloofer lady" (i.e., "beautiful lady").Van Helsing, knowing that this means Lucy has become a vampire, confides in Seward, Lord Godalming, and Morris. The suitors and Van Helsing track her down, and after a disturbing confrontation between her vampiric self and Arthur, they stake her heart, behead her, and fill her mouth with garlic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Around the same time, Jonathan Harker arrives home from recuperation in Budapest (where Mina joined and married him after his escape from the castle); he and Mina also join the coalition, who turn their attentions to dealing with Dracula.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After Dracula learns of Van Helsing's and the others' plot against him, he takes revenge by visiting ? and feeding from ? Mina at least three times. Dracula also feeds Mina his blood, creating a spiritual bond between them to control her. The only way to forestall this is to kill Dracula first. Mina slowly succumbs to the blood of the vampire that flows through her veins, switching back and forth from a state of consciousness to a state of semi-trance during which she is telepathically connected with Dracula. This telepathic connection is established to be two-way, in that the Count can influence Mina, but in doing so betrays to her awareness of his surroundings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After the group sterilizes all of his lairs in London by putting pieces of consecrated host in each box of earth, Dracula flees back to his castle in Transylvania, transported in a box with transfer and portage instructions forwarded, pursued by Van Helsing's group, who themselves are aided by Van Helsing hypnotizing Mina and questioning her about the Count. The group splits in three directions. Van Helsing goes to the Count's castle and kills his trio of brides, and shortly afterwards all converge on the Count just at sundown under the shadow of the castle. Harker and Quincey rush to Dracula's box, which is being transported by Gypsies. Harker shears Dracula through the throat with a Kukri while the mortally wounded Quincey, slashed by one of the crew, stabs the Count in the heart with a Bowie knife. Dracula crumbles to dust, and Mina is freed from his curse.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book closes with a note about Mina's and Jonathan's married life and the birth of their first-born son, whom they name after all four members of the party, but refer to only as Quincey in remembrance of their American friend.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
