The Future in His Boots

Ella Bennett

Sinossi

Description：
At PSV's academy, Ethan Mercer is the player no one believes in—too thin, too quiet, too easy to bully off the ball. Coaches write him off. Teammates look down on him. In a world where strength decides who survives, Ethan looks like the first one destined to disappear.

Then everything changes.

Given one more chance, Ethan reveals a level of technique, vision, and control that shocks everyone who sees him play. Ajax notices immediately. But raw talent is only the beginning. At one of Europe's most demanding development systems, Ethan has to survive crushing tackles, brutal training loads, tactical scrutiny, and constant promotion into older, stronger teams. From the academy pitch to Jong Ajax and the edge of the first team, every step up comes with a new price.

He can dribble past defenders. He can unlock a match in a single moment. What he doesn't have—yet—is the body, stamina, and status to make that brilliance last at the professional level.

To stay in the fight, Ethan must grow faster than everyone expects and prove he belongs before the game leaves him behind. Because in Dutch football, talent gets you noticed—but only the relentless earn a future.

Surrender None

Elizabeth Moon

In this thrilling prequel to The Deed of Paksennarion, Elizabeth Moon transports readers once again to a world of magic, mystery, and mighty deeds as one low-born man rises to lead his people to freedom.
Born to a desperately poor but proud family, young Gird knows that if you want to keep anything in this world, you have to fight for it. It is this bold demeanor and fighting spirit that catches the eye of the local lord's stewards—and earns Gird a chance to join the soldier's ranks.
Starting as a scullery boy, Gird is exposed to a world previously unknown as he learns to fight, serve, and behave like a true soldier—and a true man as he learns about life, love, magic, and the myriad of gods. But he also learns too soon of the brutality of those he serves—the ruling elite who see the people as cattle to be slaughtered on a whim. Or worse. And that is something Gird will not suffer for long.
For it is Gird's ultimate destiny to fight not for his masters, nor for himself, but for the people. Driven by courage and compassion, wrath and revenge, passion and pain, Gird's battle for freedom will change the land forever, show the people that they can cast off their oppression, and forge his name in legend forever…
Praise for the Legacy of Gird books:
"A massive and brilliant book, with Moon's unsurpassed military and historical expertise very much to the fore. Close behind it is her concern with ethics, which elevates her characterization as far above the fantasy average as her worldbuilding […] a model of how to write historically informed fantasy." — Chicago Sun Times
"A detailed look into a fantasy medieval culture as seen from the peasant's point of view […] A wonderful prequel and lead into the author's trilogy, The Deed of Paksenarrion." — VOYA
"Fans of The Deed of Paksenarrion have been waiting for this book, but newcomers to Moon's vision should not fear jumping right in […] I don't think you'll be disappointed." — Quantum
