The History Man Novel Novels & Stories

The man didn’t stand up or at least meet her eyes to acknowledge her, which Claire found to be a little bit rude for someone who needed help. “So I found all these books”, he said, still staring at the books sprawled in front of him. “But… I really can’t decide which one to choose. I need a recommendation” Claire glanced at the stack of books scattered on the floor and quickly read the titles. Based on the mess, she thought that there must be around twenty books, more or less— all about the history of art. She wasn’t that interested in history nor does she enjoy art, so even if she wanted to, she didn’t have any recommendations to give.

he told her with a smile. “You mean Magnusson?” Majesta couldn't believe he would give her these books. “Yea, ma’am, he has sent you these books to sell. He doesn’t wish to have you pay him for them. They are a gift to sell or keep. He wanted you to read the top one; it is a history of his family. It is handwritten and he hopes you will keep it safe for him.” The man told her with a smile. “Thank you, but who are you?” Majesta asked, not sure why she needed to know.

he said kindly. She immediately said in nervousness, “Thank you, but you don't have to do that for me. I took this book because I had never seen a book like this before. May I ask you what book is this?” “This is a medieval history book about the first crusades. I have seen with my own eyes humans kill and slaughter their own kind for something they believe in. That’s very interesting, and that’s why I wrote this book,” he said and smiled. She furrowed her brows in thought. “Seen?” she asked in her mind curiously.

Ervine said, wriggling her eyebrows with a crooked smile. He was disgusted by her suggestions, “ have fun on my behalf…” he told her walking away. He was walking through the hallway that led to the back entrance when he saw the big bold writing on the wall, ' Historical books Section'. “ Wait here” he instructed a confused Middleton as he walked into the section. Indeed, it was filled with his aura. He walked down the aisle, touching his books which were no longer his. He felt one and chuckled. “ The human race: Extinction or not…” he whispered reading the title out. He had gotten this book when he was still infatuated with humans.

“Ian, can I ask you something?” “Of course,” I replied, my heart quickening with a mix of curiosity and nervousness. “Why do you care so much about history?” she asked, her gaze searching mine. “You seem to know so much, and you speak about it with such passion.” I hesitated, choosing my words carefully. “History is the story of humanity,” I said slowly. “It’s a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies, lessons and legacies. Understanding it helps us make sense of the present and guides us as we shape the future.”

He dropped to his feet before landing face down. I don’t think I would forget the look he had on his face when he dropped face down. The one he managed to throw in my direction before dropping dead as I presumed. I look up to see a man dressed in local animal skin clothing that covered just his region areas and was on his head like a crown or so. He had a shotgun in his hold and was pointing it at me which made my blood rush up to my head and made me light-headed. ‘Now is not the time to feel light-headed girl, you are faced with war and need to stand your ground.’ I encouraged myself then blinked several times to keep my brain active and alert.

I also won't beg. I pick up one of the worn volumes and open it. In the beginning, there were two. In the beginning, one male, one female. In the beginning, no war, no famine. In the beginning, love. Within a short time, I'm enthralled. It's like reading a science fiction novel even though I know these events happened. This book is about their history. I stop myself. My history. It's told by a female Shadow Warrior named Nalista.

He scratched his head and returned to study the blank pages. What the hell did he mean by that? He picked the book; he had to know. "Did you maybe pick the wrong book?" I asked desperately. He turned to me, irritation sketched onto his face. "No, I didn't pick the wrong Goddamned book. This is it." He slammed the book closed and ran his fingers through the leather covers. "This is the book of the prophecy and our people's history." Well, that made no sense cause his people's book of history was black.

He turns from the window, his eyes landing on the journal. “But Brody… you found the woman who burns the blueprint.” Adam’s voice drops, a mixture of awe and a sharp, personal hunger coloring his words. “She doesn’t just want your body, man. She wants your history. Your secrets. Your ghosts. She takes that story, that stupid, precious, teenage memory, and she gets on her fucking knees and deletes it. Replaces it with the feel of her throat. The taste of her. Makes you scream her name like a fucking exorcism.”

The mirror reflects a stranger—calm, poised, dangerous. That’s it, my wolf whispers. He believes it. I pull open the drawer where I’ve keep the books Camille has given me to read and hand hand the ones I’ve finished back to him. “When you have time, I’d really love some new history books,” I say demurely. “Your finished with them already?” He looks through the stack of books. “Are you sure you don’t want more romances?” “I prefer history. There is nothing more fascinating then the past.”
