Sinopsis

In "The Threatening Eye," E. F. Knight crafts a chilling narrative that navigates the complexities of human perception and the sense of impending danger. Set against a vividly rendered landscape, Knight employs a richly descriptive literary style that blends psychological depth with suspenseful prose. The novel reflects the late Victorian fascination with the unknown, capturing the anxieties of an era marked by rapid industrial change and colonial expansion, while weaving elements of gothic fiction through its examination of paranoia and observation. E. F. Knight, an author and adventurer, drew from his own experiences in diverse cultures and environments, potentially igniting the themes of fear and vigilance prevalent in this work. His background in exploration and understanding of human psychology influenced his portrayal of characters who grapple with their internal demons as much as the external threats they perceive. Knight's dual roles as a traveler and writer allowed him to infuse authentic cultural nuances into his storytelling, making the narrative both engaging and reflective of broader existential themes. Readers seeking a compelling exploration of fear and the human psyche will find "The Threatening Eye" an indispensable addition to their literary collection. Knight's astute observations and gripping prose invite contemplation about the nature of perception and reality, making this novel a profound and thought-provoking experience. It is a must-read for those interested in the interplay between environment and emotional turmoil.

    New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin mixes high-octane adventure with sizzling romance for an explosive thriller featuring an ex-Green Beret, a dangerous cult and a female private investigator who will let nothing stop her from rescuing her missing sister. 
     
    Former Green Beret Edge Logan has made a new life for himself at Nighthawk Security in Denver, using his finely honed skills to neutralize threats of all kinds.  
     
    When he overhears friend and fellow agent Skye Delaney discussing a new case involving her missing sister and a mysterious cult, he offers himself as backup.  
     
    With her own military background, Skye is gutsy and more than capable, but a cult like Children of the Sun is too risky for anyone to investigate alone. 
     
    Skye is grateful for Edge’s experience, even though she is aware of the attraction simmering between them. Her battle scars make her reluctant to get involved with anyone, much less a coworker—even a warrior like Edge. But infiltrating the  
    cult’s compound is more complicated than expected—and something much more sinister than worship is clearly going on behind its walls. As the pair works against the clock to unearth high-stakes secrets, the personal barriers between them  
    begin to crumble. Together, can they unmask the face of evil before their time runs out?

    Rhys and Catrin contend with betrayal and insurrection as they resume their duties in the king's court ... 
    September 1284. Within moments of rejoining the king's company, Rhys and Catrin learn King Edward has not only melted down the silver seal of their murdered prince and turned it into a chalice, but the chalice itself has gone missing a matter of days before its intended consecration at Vale Royal Abbey. 
    Assigned to find the culprit, they discover instead a populace seething over the predations of the abbey and its officers, and an unusual alliance between Norman and Saxon. As the unrest in the countryside grows, Rhys and Catrin's initial apathy turns to urgency, and with Cheshire teetering on the brink of open rebellion, they are not the only ones who have to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to bring down a king. 
    Herald is the fourth book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.
