Sinossi

Across the rolling hills and rugged plains of southern Africa, two worlds collided in one of the most unforgettable conflicts of the 19th century. This gripping nonfiction book brings young readers face-to-face with the bravery, choices, and struggles of both the mighty Zulu nation and the powerful British Empire. Packed with real stories and vivid details, it shows how ordinary people became heroes, how leaders made impossible decisions, and how a proud kingdom stood up to one of the strongest armies in the world.Kids will discover why the Zulu fought so fiercely to defend their land, how British soldiers risked everything thousands of miles from home, and what life was really like for families caught in the middle. They’ll meet legendary figures like Shaka, Cetshwayo, and the defenders of Rorke’s Drift, while also learning about the farmers, chieftains, and children who lived through the war.Through easy-to-understand language and a conversational tone, this book explores big ideas like respect, courage, and the true cost of conflict. It also shows how the Zulu people’s culture survived and thrived, and why their story still matters today. Perfect for curious readers who love true tales of history, heroes, and hard choices.

    Dedicated to the bees and blooms who keep our world alive. 
    Location: France, Europe 
    Set in the golden meadows of the French countryside, this story follows Amélie, a small honeybee with uneven wings and a big heart. Amélie longs to find her own waggle dance - a special dance bees use to guide their hive to nectar - but feels out of place when her attempts fall short. With her best friend, the adventurous drone Bastien, Amélie sets out to discover her unique dance. 
    Along the way, they meet a series of meadow creatures - a beetle, a butterfly, a hummingbird, and a snail - each teaching Amélie a lesson about confidence, grace, patience, and rhythm. Slowly, she begins to weave these lessons together, guided by the harmony of the meadow. 
    Amélie’s journey culminates when she returns to the hive and performs a dance like no other - slower and softer but clear and true. Her dance leads the bees to a hidden field of nectar-rich blooms, and the meadow comes alive as pollination spreads far and wide. Through her quest, Amélie discovers that true belonging comes not from copying others but from embracing her own way of contributing to the hive and the world.

    From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A CLASH OF FATES (Book #21), the twenty-first book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!
    
    In A CLASH OF FATES, the heroes of the Ring race against time as ancient prophecies unfold with terrifying speed. Gwendolyn transforms from exiled queen to battlefield commander, rallying forgotten communities into a formidable fighting force and undertaking a dangerous ritual that grants her unprecedented power—just as enemy forces descend upon her position.
    
    Thor launches a seemingly impossible assault against a Titan's advance forces, his victory turning bitter as an even greater threat looms on the horizon. Guwayne, operating under a false identity among resistance fighters, can no longer hide his extraordinary abilities when a surprise attack forces him to reveal his true power, attracting allies and enemies alike with the display. 
    
    Within the fractured Ring, Sir Kellan's guerrilla resistance joins with unlikely allies when Lord Aldrich uncovers the kingdom's most terrible secret—that their homeland was built atop an ancient prison containing a threat more devastating than any they've faced before. As these parallel struggles intensify, the royal family must each find their role in a prophecy written before their birth, with the fate of not just the kingdom but the world itself hanging in the balance.
    
    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
