Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon
As the son of Zephyr and Avani, Ancalagon is the last pure dragon. Because of his time in a scientist’s laboratory, he not only has the air and earth elements, but also fire and water, making him the only dragon in history to have all four elements. However, the scientist created a flaw in Ancalagon's DNA. If he isn’t claimed by his mate, he could lose his humanity. Eliane is the daughter of Oliver, the scientist who tortured Ancalagon. She, herself, was experimented on, never seeing the outdoors until the night the dragons came for Ancalagon. When Ancalagon tried to rescue her, Oliver snatched her away and for months he tortured her in the same way that he'd tortured Ancalagon. Eventually, Eliane believed that Ancalagon left her to suffer at her father's hands. When she finally escapes, Eliane runs, trying to hide from all supernaturals. She begins having blackouts, large periods of time where she has no recollection of what happens to her. It’s during one of these blackouts, that she meets Snow, another dragon. They become friends and begin helping each other, protecting each other from the bad hybrids who are hunting them. When Snow shifts, telling Elianne that his name is Iniko, he leaves a strange mark on her, his image over her heart. It forges a deeper connection between them and when the bad hybrids capture him, she runs to the elemental dragons for help. What will happen when Ancalagon realizes that his brother has been claimed by his mate? How will Eliane react when she realizes that Ancalagon has been searching for her all this time. Will she be able to heal his broken DNA and help him regain his humanity, or will she leave him, breaking what's left of Ancalagon?

"Please, don't do this, I have a husband... I am married" Ash begged with her joined hands while walking backward. Tears streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision.

Ash shouted her husband's name as her back hit the cold wall. He started caressing her cheek with his knuckles. He leaned forward and whispered in her ears "he has sold you to me, for tonight.

And believe me, angel, I'll make sure you scream my name while I'll do things to you that I have been wanting to do with you since the moment I saw you" He said in his raspy voice.

I grabbed my copy of 'Blackouts' from Amazon—super fast shipping and it arrived in perfect condition. The hardcover edition looks gorgeous with its matte finish, and the seller even threw in a bookmark. If you’re into e-books, Kindle has it at a lower price, and you can start reading instantly. For audiobook fans, Audible’s version is narrated by this incredible voice actor who makes the story pop. Check out Book Depository too; they offer free worldwide shipping, which is a steal if you live outside the US. Local indie bookstores sometimes stock it, but ordering online guarantees you won’t miss out.

What Awards Has 'Blackouts' Won?

I've been following 'Blackouts' since its release, and it's racked up some serious accolades. The novel snagged the National Book Award for Fiction, which is huge in the literary world. It also won the Stonewall Book Award for its groundbreaking exploration of queer history and identity. The way it intertwines personal narratives with historical erasure really resonated with critics. I remember reading about its Lambda Literary Award win too—another major recognition for LGBTQ+ literature. The book's unique structure, blending poetry and prose, earned it special mentions in several indie press awards. If you haven't read it yet, check out similar award-winners like 'The Prophets' by Robert Jones Jr.

What Is The Central Mystery In 'Blackouts'?

3 Answers2025-06-29 16:14:36

The central mystery in 'Blackouts' revolves around a psychiatric patient's fragmented memories and the eerie connections to a series of historical disappearances. The protagonist stumbles upon old medical records that hint at experimental treatments wiping patients' memories clean. What makes it gripping is how these blank spots in history mirror the protagonist's own blackouts—lost time where he might have witnessed something horrific. The deeper he digs, the more he questions whether his lapses are medical or supernatural. The novel plays with unreliable narration brilliantly, making you wonder if the truth lies in the gaps or if the gaps are the truth.

Who Are The Main Antagonists In 'Blackouts'?

3 Answers2025-06-29 10:57:47

The main antagonists in 'Blackouts' are a shadowy organization called the Eclipse Syndicate. These guys operate like a corporate mafia, blending business ruthlessness with underworld brutality. Their leader, known only as 'The Obscurer,' is a master manipulator who pulls strings from behind layers of intermediaries. What makes them terrifying is their ability to weaponize information - they don't just kill people, they erase their entire digital footprints and rewrite histories. The Syndicate employs 'Candle Snuffers,' elite assassins who specialize in making deaths look like accidents or suicides. Their operatives infiltrate every level of society, from politicians to journalists, creating a network of control that's nearly impossible to escape. The way they use technology to enforce silence is what gives the book its chilling title - they don't just murder, they create blackouts of truth around their crimes.

Is 'Blackouts' Based On A True Story?

3 Answers2025-06-29 11:08:43

I've read 'Blackouts' and researched its background extensively. The novel isn't a direct retelling of true events but skillfully blends historical facts with fiction. It draws from real queer history and psychiatric practices of the early 20th century, particularly the erased stories from the 1931 sexology study 'Sex Variants.' The main narrative frame is fictional, but the interspersed documentary fragments about queer life feel painfully authentic. The author clearly did deep archival work to recreate the atmosphere of repression and hidden desires. What makes it fascinating is how truth and imagination collide - the invented characters interact with real historical figures in ways that reveal deeper truths than pure nonfiction could.

For those interested in this blend of fact and fiction, I'd suggest checking out 'The Archive of Feelings' by Ann Cvetkovich for more on queer historical recovery.

How Does 'Blackouts' Explore Memory Loss Themes?

3 Answers2025-06-29 19:11:27

The novel 'Blackouts' dives deep into memory loss by showing how it fragments identity. The protagonist's struggle isn't just about forgetting names or dates—it's about losing the emotional weight behind those memories. Scenes where he stares at old photos, recognizing faces but feeling nothing, hit hard. The author uses nonlinear storytelling to mirror this chaos, jumping between past and present without warning. What's brilliant is how minor characters react: some exploit his vulnerability, while others fabricate shared histories to manipulate him. The book doesn't romanticize amnesia; it portrays the terror of waking up each day unsure if you've betrayed someone or been betrayed. The sparse, almost clinical prose makes the emotional voids even more unsettling.
