Beschreibung

Both books in Dick Rosano's 'Sicily Chronicles', a series of historical fiction set in Italy, now in one volume!
 
Islands Of Fire: Luca travels to Sicily in search of his family roots and meets Vito, who takes him back in time to when the island was settled by seafaring people, fought over by warring tribes and invaders. From Anu and Baia's arrival 11,000 years ago to Telia and Sapira's agricultural revolution, Sicily's history is rich and diverse, with the Sicani, Elymi, and Siculi tribes settling the island 3,000 years ago. Through invasions by Arabs, Greeks, Carthaginians, and Romans, the reader journeys through the volcanic origins of the island to the era of the Roman Empire. Islands of Fire explores the role of Sicily, a waystation in the Middle Sea, at the heart of western history.
 
Crossroads Of The Mediterranean: Luca's journey to his parents' homeland in Sicily becomes a deep exploration of the island's rich and diverse history, from Roman dominion to invasions by Byzantines, Muslims, Normans, French, Aragonese, Bourbons, and even the forces of North America. Crossroads of the Mediterranean takes the reader on this journey, chronicling the roots of this true melting pot, the island in the Middle Sea, from the time of Julius Caesar to the present day.

    Alone, bereft, and unable to forgive himself for the slaughter at the ravine, the Nameless Dwarf swears to do one last thing, even if it kills him: 
    With Nils Fargin, the son of a Jeridium guild lord, as his guide, Nameless pursues the survivors among the dwarves, hoping to convince them that the curse of the Black Axe has been lifted from him and they are safe to return home. 
    The trail leads to the town of Malfen—a nest of cutthroats and the gateway to Cerreth, the Land of Nightmare, which would be suicide for the dwarves to enter. 
    Nameless and Nils join forces with a shapeshifting assassin and a sorcerer under the sway of a dubious magical grimoire for the hazardous journey into Cerreth. 
    It soon becomes apparent that their new companions have agendas of their own. With threats from within and horror on every side, Nameless knows that time is running out for his people. The only surprise is that they have lasted so long. 
    But new hope awaits him in a city beneath the waves—if he can first survive the unstoppable evil that destroyed the dwarf lords of old.

    I might be a killing machine. I just don't know it, yet. 
     
     
     
    Siroc: My mountain domain operates as smoothly as the sleek machines that mine for ore in the caves, but when a human female is found in the snow, every alarm bell rings—literally. It's Jane, a volunteer of the human-Mitran breeding program, who had disappeared six months earlier, but not willingly. It's clear she was abducted and surgically "enhanced" with implants to improve her senses and strength, and she has no recollection of what happened to her. The mystery of unlocking those memories is nearly as intriguing as the female herself, until acts of sabotage make me question whether Jane is hiding a secret that could destroy thousands of lives under my protection. 
     
     
     
    Jane: I am rebuilding my life after waking up in a Mitran infirmary with abilities I shouldn't have and scars to go with them. But I have no memory of my past. The alien warlord, Siroc, is always nearby. Always watching. Gaps in my memory coincide with "accidents" and strange occurrences. As we grow closer, I desperately want to know—what if something inside of me will kill everyone I care about, including the warlord who has my heart? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
