The Art Of War Hardcover Book Novels & Stories

After that, I returned to wandering around the whole place, looking for the books that we were going to use. I stopped at the part where the books were arranged and took the one that caught my interest. I blew air to it to remove the dust that was covering the book and read what the title says in our own language. The Art of War. I looked into another book, the title that was written on it was Heart of a Warrior. I grinned and took other books that were needed and related to combat and being a warrior. I STOPPED by the window of this room, the assembly hall. Along with my halted steps were the pauses of the people that were walking behind me.

Shikhar is the head of the warriors and army and Adharva respected and loved him like his own brothers. "Your highness, this war will be destructive. If this goes on, both Kingdoms will destroy their own economies and will fall prey to the other Kings waiting for a sign of weakness," said Shikhar. Adharva was silent. "I have seen the warrior Eloy in battle now and as the head of the army, I can assure you that at the end of the war, only the warriors and the Emperors will remain," said Shikhar. Rishi was at the door. Shikhar looked down at the ground then. Adharva snorted inside at the by play. He had been seeing it since he was ten.

"It was years ago that he killed the red dragon! Besides, war is not a one-man show, it's a group art." I looked into Jason's eyes and said, "Do you know what the Art of War is?" "Your Majesty, I'm a boor. I only know how to fight. I don't know anything about art." Jason shook his head and bowed. "The Art of War is that, like the theatre, it is full of lies and deceit, full of deception. Real reality is not the same as what you see as real. To be remembered in history, a battle requires not only wise men, brave warriors, but also a little luck. Some luck with an unexpected turn of events."

I would have said yes anyway. The war library sat three levels under the observatory, a long vault of oak tables and iron shelves that smelled of dust, lamp oil, and wolf. Maps of every pack from Murmansk to the Black Sea hung on the walls like flayed skins. Vaelin set three things in front of me. A treatise on shifter treaties bound in dark hide. A set of campaign charts marked in his own hand. A thinner book whose cover was not leather. It was something that had once been alive. “Politics first,” he said. “Then how men die for those politics. Then the language that makes the dying mean something.”

she teased and I shook my head as I grabbed a pan. "You're such a fibber, Mabel," I mumbled sourly and she crossed her chest causing me to laugh. "Does the Alpha read a lot?" I asked curiously and she nodded. "He carries a worn copy of the Art of War around with him. He also has an entire library off his suite," she informed me and I gritted my teeth recalling his offer of the use of his library. Devious man, I thought as I stirred the gravy. "Your heat must have gone if Grayson can be around you without trying to hump your leg," she snickered and my mouth dropped at her candidness.

Peaceful. Vespera Hale walked along the mahogany shelves, trailing her fingers over the spines of the books. Philosophy. Strategy. History. She stopped. On a shelf at eye level, nestled between The Art of War and a first edition of The Count of Monte Cristo, was a book she didn't recognize. It had no dust jacket. The binding was matte black, textured like volcanic rock. The lettering on the spine was silver, sharp and angular. SAVAGE REBORN.

I shouted as I rushed forward. The man turned sharply, surprise flashing in his eyes. Before I could reach Esmeralda, he shoved me hard in the chest. I stumbled backward, nearly losing my balance. It seemed I was wrong because he was strong as hell..I definitely judged this book by it's cover. “Stay out of this.” he snapped. My heart pounded, but I refused to back down. “Touch her again and I’ll scream so loud this entire house will wake up.” I warned, my voice shaking but loud.

In other words, Steven may have won by shooting more targets, but Zach had better marksmanship skills. Both of them had their own strengths and weaknesses, but Nathan still believed that they were both equally special. “Him … if only he were on my side!” Nathan said while staring at the monitor screen, which was now focused on Zach Drey casually chatting with Steven. When he felt there was nothing important happening on that screen anymore, he shifted the display to the living room, where Henry sat with a stiff expression while speaking with Arnold Reed. Arnold Reed, the former vice war general who had betrayed him by trying to kill him.

Chapter 4: Crown of Desire The safe house bedroom pulsed with the aftermath of battle and raw relief. Blood stained the brothers’ shirts, but their eyes burned only for me as I knelt on the massive bed, my body naked and trembling with adrenaline and need. The ambush had been brutal—Bianchi’s men striking hard—but my Rossi kings had torn through them like wolves, protecting what was theirs. Now, that primal victory demanded celebration in the most carnal way possible.

“For 363 days.” He searched my face, then let go like I’d burned him. He didn’t touch me again for the rest of the drive. That night, I found a book on my nightstand. The Art of War. No note. I opened it. On the first page, in black ink, sharp and precise: Rule six: Enemies are everywhere. Trust no one. Not even me. I closed the book and looked at the camera in the corner. Red light, blinking. Always blinking.
