  A rosary in one hand. A dagger in the other. Sister Magdalena never heard of the Catherinite nuns until the day she faced her own death sentence. Rome, 1562. It’s the era of the Index of Banned Books and the Roman Inquisition. Kings still burn heretics. The worst threats come from within the Church itself. Only seventeen, Magdalena killed a priest who tried to rape her within the walls of her convent. His powerful family will see her executed, and then they’ll destroy her mother and young sister. Instead, the pope makes an offer. To save her life and protect her family, Magdalena can disappear into a secret religious order, one with a demanding physical regimen to go along with the prayers. She’ll pray the psalms and learn to climb walls. She’ll sharpen her mind and fine-tune her body. Perfected, she’ll infiltrate the Council of Trent. Magdalena’s order slips through cathedrals and palaces at the council, the Pope’s silent operatives. They act as bodyguards for the cardinals. They gather intelligence. If they find heresy, the penalty is death. But when one of the pope’s own men is named a heretic, Magdalena must decide how far she’ll go to protect her church.

  Louisa May Alcott’s Aunt Kipp is a warm and witty tale of family trials, truth-telling children, and the reform of a difficult relative. 
  Polly Snow, her frail mother, and her mischievous younger brother “Toady” struggle to make ends meet while depending on the uncertain goodwill of their wealthy but domineering Aunt Kipp. With her towering black bonnet, sharp tongue, and constant reminders of her fragile health, Aunt Kipp seems to hold her fortune—and their future—over them like a storm cloud. But through humor, honesty, and unexpected affection, this domestic comedy reveals the power of kindness and change of heart. 
  Filled with Alcott’s trademark blend of sentiment, humor, and social observation, Aunt Kipp is both a sharp portrait of Victorian family life and a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to love and be loved.

  In a scheme to pay for his endless wars and lavish court, Henry Tudor seizes England's rich monasteries and convents. Thousands of illuminated manuscripts are stolen and destroyed. 
  Squire Henry Truelove of Cornwall, hero of this novel, has simpler ambitions: to win the hand of his reluctant ladylove, Morwenna. But life takes a bad turn for the squire when his family's estate faces ruinous taxation. Truelove and his friends form a band of "holy pirates" to bring down the corrupt taxman, and to rescue the precious lost books. 
  This tale of tumultuous Tudor times will especially please readers who enjoy little known histories and interesting language. The narrative is often lighthearted, with amusing repartee. The mission of the Holy Pirates, though, is vital and dangerous — to save the precious books and their own skins.
