Sinopsis

In "Tales of the Old West: B. M. Bower Collection - 45 Titles in One Volume (Illustrated Edition)," readers are transported to the rugged landscapes of the American frontier, where tales of adventure, romance, and the indomitable spirit of the West unfold. Bower's prose captures the vernacular of her characters, employing vivid descriptions that create a palpable sense of place and time. The collection serves as a chronicle of rural life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, intertwining familiar Western tropes with nuanced portrayals of relationships and moral dilemmas, revealing a rich tapestry of human experience against the backdrop of untamed wilderness. B. M. Bower, a pioneering female author in a predominantly male genre, had a unique perspective shaped by her upbringing in the West. Born into a family of ranchers, her intimate knowledge of the terrain and its people infused her writing with authenticity and depth. Bower's dedication to portraying women's stories and challenges in a masculine world illustrates the broader societal shifts of her time, allowing her to bridge traditional gender roles within her narrative arc. This engrossing collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of Western literature and newcomers alike. With its blend of historical insight and compelling storytelling, Bower's work invites readers to experience the complexities of the Old West through the eyes of a master storyteller. Lovers of adventure and romance will find themselves inextricably drawn into the world she creates.

    Beobrand finds himself caught between the perilous intrigues of royalty and the Church in this latest thrilling Bernicia Chronicles adventure. 
    AD 652. Beobrand has been ordered to lead a group of pilgrims to the holy city of Rome. Chief among them is Wilfrid, a novice of the Church with some surprisingly important connections. Taking only Cynan and some of his best men, Beobrand hopes to make the journey through Frankia quickly and return to Northumbria without delay, though the road is long and perilous. 
     
    But where Beobrand treads, menace is never far behind. The lands of the Merovingian kings are rife with intrigue. The queen of Frankia is unpopular and her ambitious schemes, though benevolent, have made her powerful enemies. Soon Wilfrid, and Beobrand, are caught up in sinister plots against the royal house. 
     
    After interrupting a brutal ambush in a forest, Beobrand and his trusted gesithas find their lives on the line. Dark forces will stop at nothing to seize control of the Frankish throne, and Beobrand is thrown into a deadly race for survival through foreign lands where he cannot be sure who is friend and who is foe. 
     
    The only certainty is that if he is to save his men, thwart the plots, and unmask his enemies, blood will flow.
