4.9/5 (21950 ratings)

Description:Xylon Slade’s parents have always worried about the possibility that he isn’t entirely human. There are two weeks of his life he can’t remember, two weeks during which he may’ve lived another life, a thousand years in the future. Three beautiful witches in the twentyfirst century believe Xy has a mysterious chemical in his blood that can break through the barrier of time around a region of space known as the Khôra, where the authors of history reside. A class of tyrannical bishops in the thirtieth century believe he’s a messiah who must sacrifice himself. Yet the suspicion of his simply being from a race of snow-white giants inhabiting a planet called Mixolydia—a planet whose people live entirely for scholarship, sports, art, and pleasure—keeps haunting Xy as he struggles to understand why the humans around him have such an adversarial relationship with their own sexuality. At sixteen, he’s too young to have sex and he’s too young to vote, so he’s the slave of all the absurd definitions of life, love, and politics the adults around him insist on fighting each other to preserve. Living at the crossroads of myth and history, Xy fights for his own highly individual balance between two centuries—as between the imagined and the real, the sacred and the profane, joy and restraint, Eden and time, sex and god, regardless of what the oppressive hand-me-down semantics of culture and religion constantly want to make him out to be.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
