Summary

A collection of three historical novels by John Bentley, now available in one volume!
 
Baudet: In 1673, Baudet sets out to Marseilles with a prophecy hanging over him, destined to accomplish great things. As he struggles with temptations, he finds himself drawn towards the Abbey Saint Victor, and the Benedictine Order of monks. However, clashes with the troublesome Prior Delbert threaten to derail his journey. Will Baudet be able to rise above his unpromising beginning and fulfill his extraordinary destiny?
 
Fist Of The Faith: In this sweeping historical novel, the lives of a young man from a wealthy family and a struggling fisherman and his wife become unexpectedly intertwined. Albornoz's desire to understand morality and Edmond's chance encounter with an opportunity set in motion a series of events that will shape their destinies. With vivid descriptions of the time, this epic tale takes readers on a journey through love, loss, and redemption.
 
The Guise of the Queen: This historical novel takes us on a journey from Paris to La Rochelle during the Huguenot persecution in 1572. After a bloody massacre on Saint Bartholomew's Day, Parisians flee in fear, but Queen Mother Catherine de Médicis is not satisfied and sets her sights on the prosperous port and last Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle. As a bloody war looms, the fate of La Rochelle and the Huguenots rests in the balance.

    They say breaking up is hard to do. They’re wrong. Living with the consequences is so much harder, especially when sorrow is a powerful draw to evil … 
  
Lizzie Grace is trying to get on with her life now that she and Aiden have gone their separate ways, but it’s a difficult thing to do when just about everything reminds her of the damn man. 
  
The situation is made worse when a body is found, and her job as Deputy Reservation Witch means she has no choice but to interact with him. At first, the death seems to be nothing more than an accidental drowning in a remote location, but it’s soon evident a supernatural entity is involved. 
  
As they race to uncover what is going on, it becomes clear that this evil is not only targeting werewolves, but one particular pack—the O’Connor’s. 
  
And the reason might well be the song of sorrow. A song that Lizzie’s grief might have given birth to…

    Presented here are the final three books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Valley of Fear" and two short story collections: "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" and "His Last Bow," all penned by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 
Despite Doyle's attempt to kill off his world-famous detective years earlier, Doyle here - decades later - finally brings Sherlock Holmes' adventures to a close. 
First, we present the stories collected in "Case-Book," including the thriller "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" and the haunting "Adventure of the Sussex Vampire." Next, the flashback novel "The Valley of Fear," in which Holmes grapples with his arch-nemesis - the Napoleon of Crime himself - Professor Moriarty. Then, at last, Holmes' swan song in which he comes out of retirement during World War I to assist his country one final time to help in the war effort and keep the German army at bay. 
With these volumes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle finally brings the adventures of the greatest detective in fiction - Mr. Sherlock Holmes - to an end. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.
