In the rugged Scottish highlands, a young fisherman named Malcolm navigates a web of secrets surrounding his true parentage while serving a capricious marquis. His journey is one of nobility discovered not in bloodlines, but in character and loyalty. A sweeping tale of mystery, romance, and the clash between social classes.
The south country beckoned, and Gabe and Ezra answered. It was nothing more than a re-supply trip to Santa Fe, but an encounter with the Tabeguache Ute and the Caputa Ute changed the course of their journey. It wasn’t until they came upon the massacre at a Mexican Hacienda and the subsequent attack from a rampaging band of renegade Jicarilla Apache, that they would uncover a prospering trade in captives and slaves that would raise the ire of both Gabe and Ezra. When a garrison of Mexican Soldados and one particular officer intervenes, things are not as they would first appear. Their purpose was derailed when an unexpected ambush by Apache would prompt a rescue expedition. When all is complicated by the intervention of slave traders, Comancheros, and the perpetrators masking as Mexican Soldados, only then does a simple re-supply journey become a vengeance quest, and all the blood that would flow would not be Apache! This historical western series will have you gasping for air and capture your heart.Ver livro

"Run mad as often as you choose; but do not faint!" If Volume I was the spark, Juvenilia – Volume II is the fire. In this volume, a mid-teen Jane Austen takes aim at the "cult of sensibility" that dominated the novels of her day. The centerpiece, "Love and Freindship" (spelled intentionally with Austen's original flourish), is a brilliant epistolary parody featuring heroines who faint on every sofa they encounter and wander the countryside in a state of perpetual, melodramatic "distraction." This volume also features her iconic "History of England," where she gleefully abandons historical accuracy to defend Mary, Queen of Scots, and mock the "vile" Elizabeth I. It is a collection that proves Austen was a master of irony before she was even twenty. The Masterpiece of Parody: Love and Freindship: Through a series of letters, Austen deconstructs the romantic tropes of the era. Her characters, Laura and Sophia, believe that "feeling" is more important than "common sense," leading to a series of absurd adventures involving stolen money, secret marriages, and dying of a "chill" caught while fainting in the dew. The Bias of a Historian: In The History of England, Austen mocks the dry, "objective" historians of her time. Writing as a "partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian," she proves that history is often just a matter of who you like and who you don't—a biting critique of how narratives are constructed that still feels modern today. A Developing Genius: From the unfinished "Lesley Castle" to the sharp "Collection of Letters," this volume shows Austen experimenting with different voices and structures. You can see the DNA of Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility being formed in these rowdy, rebellious pages. Join the fun at the Austen family table.
