Synopsis

In 8th century Mercia, King Offa lusts for power. His queen, Cynethryth, is an ambitious politician minting her own coins – a first for any woman in the male-dominated era.
 
Amid societal changes, the two navigate power struggles, revolts and alliances in the tumultuous Anglo-Saxon Britain, leaving their mark during a pivotal time in English history.
 
But where is Offa's place among the English kings, and who is the real force in his reign? There is little concrete evidence, but in OFFA - REX MERCIORUM, John Broughton breaks through the veil of time and provides an entertaining, well-researched historical tale.

    On the blood-stained, frozen borders of Ilvarren, a deadly curse is stealing soldiers' minds and twisting their shadows into monstrous puppets. To speak a name is to invite the darkness in, and the only cure is fire. Evelyn Reed is a mage whose white-gold flames can burn the dark spellwork right out of a soldier's shadow. But saving lives on a battlefield of ice and old ash comes with a devastating cost. As Evelyn fights to free the minds of men forced into murderous loyalty by their own guilt, her untamed magic threatens to ignite the very earth beneath them. Amidst shattered wards and burning winter glass, Evelyn must carefully wield her terrifying gift to break the curse's grip without destroying the survivors. Step into a chilling winter skirmish where gratitude is a luxury in this gripping, action-packed dark fantasy of survival, and the searing cost of salvation.

    Everyone’s favorite moral philosopher, Isabel Dalhousie, finds herself caught up in a delicate dispute between members of a prominent family while her husband, Jamie, is dragged into an internecine rivalry of his own. 
     
    When Isabel is invited to serve on the advisory committee of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, her husband, Jamie, expresses concern about the demands on her time. Never one to duck an obligation, however, Isabel says she’d be happy to  
    join. There she meets a woman named Laura, whose husband—a prominent wine merchant from an illustrious family—and son are at odds. Laura asks whether Isabel might arbitrate between them. Isabel is reluctant to intervene in a familial  
    drama, but, always one for practical and courteous solutions to theoretical problems, she feels obligated to help. Will the demands on her moral attention never cease? 
     
    Meanwhile, having criticized Isabel for getting involved in the affairs of others, Jamie does precisely that himself. He’s helping to select a new cellist for his ensemble but suspects that the conductor’s attention may be focused on  
    something other than his favored candidate’s cello skills. Jamie feels it’s important that the most qualified applicant gets the job—but how to determine whether the conductor has the right qualifications in mind? 
     
    With so many complicated and fraught issues demanding their attention, Isabel and Jamie will have to tap deep into their reserves of tact and goodwill as they navigate the tricky and turbulent waters of these emotional matters.
