Beschreibung

In the fourth century AD, Britannia - like the rest of the Empire - is under attack by barbarians, and lurches towards inevitable doom.
 
Leo and Valdor, grandson and great-grandson of a famous warrior, survive the Great Conspiracy and rise in rank against the Picts and Scots. Despite Valdor’s prowess, he is overlooked for the post he most covets - Count of the Saxon Shore - in favour of his younger brother.
 
He finally gets his chance after helping the usurper, Magnus Maximus, in his campaign against the Western Emperor, Gratian. But as the province is left exposed to barbarian incursions, can Valdor stem the tide of raiders, or will he become just another local chieftain amid the anarchy left by the Romans?
 
A well-researched adventure set in medieval England, THE GREAT CONSPIRACY is the second book in John Broughton's trilogy if historical novels.

    There is just something about a good girl with a mind of her own that makes a bad boy want to change his ways…. 
     
    After watching her parents be gunned down right in front of her, Princess decided that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the streets or the men who ran in them. Now, a prestigious doctor in Atlanta, she’s changed her name from Princess to Aliyah and has left her past life of being a kingpin’s daughter far behind her. However, her plans of never falling for the type of man her father was are shattered when, through a twist of fate, she is kidnapped by Killian King who needs her to save his brother who’s been shot when a deal goes wrong. 
     
    Killian King, known as ‘Kill’ for his ruthless and merciless ways, is the oldest of the King brothers, the heirs to an illegal weapon empire, started by their late father. Known as the ‘plug’ for his ability to obtain anything and supply it to his high-paying customers, no matter how hard it is to get or how illegal, Killian is the connection between the customer and their desires. 
     
    As the oldest of the King boys, Killian is extremely protective of his brothers, and shows this when the youngest is nearly killed, by kidnapping a doctor to save him. Once Aliyah completes the life-saving surgery, Killian then finds himself indebted to a woman who hates everything about him, especially the life he leads. 
     
    Unfortunately, the magnetic attraction between them makes it hard for him to forget her. And, even though, Killian wants to move on and put her in the past, for some reason, he’s unable to let go.

    The Story of Salome - A gentle...

    Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
     
    In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
     
    Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
     
    In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
     
    To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
     
    After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.  
     
    In this Venetian set story Edwards follows the trail of a man who, after the briefest of meetings, falls in love with a young Jewish girl, who has but one request of him.
