A recent study indicated that two key motivations for using Instagram are self-expression and social interaction, suggesting that Instagram users utilize pictures of all sorts of things to present their actual and ideal selves, as well as to maintain social relationships (Lee, Lee, Moon, & Sung, 2015).Ī growing body of personality research suggests that narcissism is one of the most powerful predictors of self-promotional content via social media (Carpenter, 2012). In particular, Instagram, a mobile photo-sharing application, has attracted SNS users to present themselves via a variety of photographs and short videos by making the process easier than ever. With the emergence of social technologies available to Internet and smartphone users, SNS-based communication provides novel venues for self-disclosure, self-presentation, and impression management (Rui & Stefanone, 2013). The Knight and the Necromancer is a trilogy with satisfying conclusion at the end of book 3.Social networking sites (hereafter SNSs), such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram provide a new venue for individuals to present themselves and manage their social relationships online. Of course, he’ll have to get through tomorrow first…when he must bargain with the hated royals who have persecuted him all his life. Maybe he could go on a second date with this person. Sairis finds his defenses melting in spite of his best efforts. He’s shocked when a dazzling mountain of a man is unintimidated by his glare. Sairis knows he’s doing something foolish by visiting a tavern the evening before his meeting with the royals-a tavern that caters to men of certain tastes.
He knows that he will have to bargain for his life tomorrow. Sairis is a necromancer with a price on his head. He’ll need something to look forward to tomorrow, since he must spend the day in council with his family’s sworn enemy-a necromancer whom his sister has rashly invited to consult about the war. Roland exerts all his knightly charm and is rewarded by the promise of a second date. Their unexpected chemistry makes him feel alive for the first time in months. He does not expect to find a fascinating scholar from out of town-a lonely young man with beautiful eyes and an obvious longing to be touched, buried beneath a prickly demeanor. Roland expects to flirt with a few strangers for old time’s sake. It’s the place where he kissed a man for the first time, the place where he used to carouse with the lover he buried on a battlefield. He sneaks out to his favorite tavern for nostalgia’s sake. Prince Roland comes home from the war to bury his father and see his sister on the throne. It's a classic fairytale: Knight meets necromancer.
