  She hires artist after artist to paint her portrait.  But when they fail to capture her perceived ethreal beauty, the consequences are dire. 
  Enter Venus Faucher.  Coming from humble beginnings, she has spent her life trying to make a name for herself as a woman painter in a world which underestimates her. 
  She believes that she may have found her security with the countess as a patron.  However, the more time she spend with Sarracenia, the more Venus realizes the cost which comes from pleasing a vampire.

  Black History is for Everyone

  Brian Jones

  Black history is under attack from powerful right-wing forces that seek to excise it from classrooms and libraries. Its opponents fail to understand a simple truth: the best education challenges our assumptions and demands we keep at it. It makes us uncomfortable, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. 
   
   
   
  In Black History Is for Everyone, award-winning educator and scholar Brian Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history, using his own experiences as a life-long learner and classroom teacher to question everything from the meaning of race and nation to the radicalism of the American Revolution. We see that "race" took centuries to get defined; we follow Frederick Douglass as he grapples with how to relate to the United States and, later, to Haiti; we compare the American, French, and Haitian revolutions; and we learn why the study of Black history has always been threatened. 
   
   
   
  In these pages, Jones offers a persuasive case for Black history and a celebration of the rewards of education. With warmth, immersive storytelling, and good cheer, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high, the effort is worth it.

  Crusaders - Wars and Crusades...

  The Crusaders is one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
  The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the middle ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church. 
  The most popular of these Crusades are those to the Holy Land between 1095 and 1291, which aimed to recover Jerusalem and its environments from Islamic rule. 
  Concurrent army operations against the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula (the Reconquista) and pagan Slavic tribe in northern Europe (the Northern Crusades) were called crusades. 
  Other church-sanctioned crusades were waged during the 15th century against unorthodox Christian sects, the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, to oppose paganism and heresy, and for political purposes. 
  In this book, we’ll explore some of the most important crusades everyone should know about. You will learn to understand better why people started them, what drove them to continue, and what ended them. You will learn about the political and religious backgrounds, the fears, hopes, and dreams the leaders and population had, and much more.
