DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Zephyr wasn't always known as the Lord of Darkness. There was once a time when his wings were silken and pristine, wide and magnificent. But that was before the curse. Zephyr is an angel, a harbinger of light and goodness, before his own brother curses him, exiling him from the heavens and sending him crashing down to earth. Envious of his brother gaining God's favor, Lucifer Morningstar turned Zephyr into a beast of darkness, sentencing him to an immortal life on earth as a vampire. He is doomed to an isolated existence as a hated beast. But Morningstar's punishment takes on a new form, as Zephyr turns his curse into his strength. Destined to be a monster of darkness who prowled the earth, hungering for human blood, Zephyr decides to do something his brother hadn't anticipated. The Lord of the Night creates a family-others like him, who would inherit his powers. Lord Zephyr begins creating an army that will one day face Lucifer and defeat him in battle. As the First Vampire, Zephyr rules over his Vampire Order. His children work hard to expand their numbers as the Order becomes a global phenomenon: Warriors of the Night and Knights of Darkness. Zephyr passes on his powers from child to child, bonding with the vampires and ensuring they never know the isolation and defeat Lucifer sentenced him to. As time passes, The Order thrives. It is an intricate network designed to ensure no internal power struggles. The number of immortal vampires grows steadily. Will Zephyr be able to exact his revenge? And how long will it be before humans discover the existence of vampires, hunting them down before Lucifer even gets to earth?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →When Nathan Wachtel, the distinguished historical anthropologist, returned to the village of Chipaya, the site of his extensive fieldwork in the Bolivian Andes, he learned a group of Uru Indians was being incarcerated and tortured for no apparent reason. Even more strangely, no one—not even his closest informant and friend—would speak about it. Wachtel discovered that a series of recent deaths and misfortunes in Chipaya had been attributed to the evil powers of the Urus, a group usually regarded with suspicion by the other ethnic groups. Those incarcerated were believed to be the chief sorcerers and vampires whose paganistic practices had brought death to Chipaya by upsetting the social order. Wachtel's investigation, told in Gods and Vampires: Back to Chipaya, reveals much about relations between the Urus and the region's dominant ethnic groups and confronts some of the most trenchant issues in contemporary anthropology. His analysis shows that the Urus had become victims of the same set of ideals the Spanish had used, centuries before, to establish their hegemony in the region. Presented as a personal detective story, Gods and Vampires is Wachtel's latest work in a series studying the ongoing impact of the Spanish conquest on the Andean consciousness and social system. Its insight into Bolivian society and the legacy of hegemony confronts some of the most trenchant issues in contemporary anthropologyand will be of great interest to scholars of anthropology, Latin American studies, and Native American studies.
