Beschreibung

From One Sea to Another is a historical adventure novel set in the seventeenth century, in the heart of New France, between Europe and the North American continent still largely unexplored.Carlo, a young European forced to leave his homeland, is drawn into a new world of endless forests, boundless rivers, fragile colonies and unstable alliances. Around him move explorers, soldiers, settlers, missionaries, women marked by loss and men consumed by ambition. Every choice has a price; every journey leaves scars.Amid colonial wars, personal rivalries, difficult loves and silent betrayals, the story follows the slow yet inexorable transformation of its characters, compelled to grow older, to endure failure, to change. Nothing remains fixed: bodies break, loyalties shift, and survival becomes a form of resistance.This is not only the account of a geographical crossing, but the first chapter of a saga that explores human destiny through time, blood and land. A novel that combines historical rigour with narrative tension, where adventure is never separated from its consequences.

A Deceptive Composition

Anna Lee Huber

Lady Kiera Darby and her dashing husband, Sebastian Gage, hope they've finally found peace after a tumultuous summer, but long-buried family secrets soon threaten to unravel their lives . . . 
 
 
 
October 1832. Kiera is enjoying the slower pace of the English countryside. She, Sebastian, and their infant daughter have accompanied her father-in-law, Lord Gage, home so that he can recuperate from the injuries he sustained in a foiled attempt on his life. But as the chill of autumn sweeps across the land, they receive a summons from an unexpected quarter. Lord Gage's estranged uncle—a member of the notorious Roscarrock family—has been murdered, and his family is desperate for answers. Despite Lord Gage's protests, Kiera and Sebastian press on to Cornwall to assist. 
 
 
 
It isn't long before they discover that almost nothing is as it seems among the Roscarrocks, and they've been lured to their isolated cove under false pretenses. There are whispers of a lost treasure and frightening allusions to a series of murders stretching back decades that touch the lives of the family personally. Kiera and Sebastian are left with no choice but to uncover the truth before the secrets of the past threaten to destroy them all.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Virginia Woolf, Radclyffe Hall,...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume English women have begun the long haul to be treated as equals, even though some see others as beneath them. Class still has its boundaries and its distinctions. Our authors show that the decade brings much to revel in but also much to worry our hearts.

October Vagabonds

Richard Le Gallienne

Two friends set out on foot at the edge of autumn, trading the noise of the city for quiet roads and golden leaves. With no fixed destination, they walk through the backroads of upstate New York, staying in small inns, visiting country towns, and living on simple pleasures. 
Along the way, they reflect on poetry, friendship, freedom, and the joy of slowing down. October Vagabonds is part travel memoir, part celebration of nature, and part quiet rebellion against the rush of modern life. 
This is a story for those who dream of wandering, who long for crisp air and fire-lit nights, and who find meaning in moments that ask nothing in return. 
Perfect for fans of lyrical prose, slow travel, and stories that value stillness over spectacle.
