From best-selling author Xavier Neal comes a brand-new, laugh-out-loud, paranormal romance you don't want to miss... I swear, one minute I'm dozing off during the night shift - don't judge me - and the next I'm being told I'm Fate Mated to an ancient dragon. An ancient dragon I couldn't help but save when he woke me up out of the aforementioned slumber - again, don't judge me. Now this same ancient dragon - that I'm apparently destined to be with - is doing everything he can to win me over, because it's up to me whether or not he'll live the rest of his life in absolute agony or absolute bliss. Oh, and let's not forget the fact we're being chased by elves, working with a grumpy Griffin, and have to rescue some poor kidnapped dragon before an evil corporation kills it. Ugh. Any chance this is all some crazy dream that I can't wake up from? No? Well, can't blame this human for asking.

From best-selling author Xavier Neal comes the next book in the page-turning, laugh-out-loud, paranormal romance series you don't want to miss... Fate hates me. How else would you explain getting fired, kidnapped, and nearly killed by elves - which shouldn't even exist - in less than twelve hours? And the apology this magical force gives me for constantly ruining my life? Mating me to an ancient dragon. An ancient dragon whose suave ways have me constantly torn between wanting to kiss him and kick him right where the scales don't shine. And to top it all off - because clearly that wasn't enough - we have to rescue some poor kidnapped flamingo like we're reenacting a James Bond movie. FFS. Any chance this is all some low-budget horror movie I don't remember being cast for? No? Well, all things considered, it'd be dumb not to at least ask.

The nine interrelated chapters in this book aim to identify and describe the iconographies and trace fossils of ritual and religion in late prehistoric Europe - to infuse them with meaning, celebrate their complexity and integrate the ideas, which they evoke into the rich tapestry of historically transmitted ancient European and Mediterranean ideology, mythology and ritual. This book explores libation and feasting, engendered patterns of communication, ritual drama and iconographic creativity. Case studies range from 13th century BC Bavarian ostentatious graves, 9th century Scandinavian bog hoards, 8th century Austrian women's chambered tombs, 7th century Lusatian children's graves to 6th century BC Scythian kurgans from the Ukraine. A thick description of ancient European ideology emerges demonstrating that non-literate communities were developing surprisingly vibrant and sophisticated solutions to the problems posed by transcending death, revering the ancestors and communicating between earth and eternity.
