A boy is driven off his farm by soldiers in the Thirty Years War, becomes a fool, a soldier, a highwayman and a hermit, and survives the ruin of Germany. Grimmelshausen fought in that war himself; this is the first great German novel and the plainest account anyone left of what those thirty years did. Fifty-four plates span Holbein to Munch, from siege and battle scenes to allegories of war, matching the Thirty Years War that fills these pages.

Long before he proclaimed himself Emperor of the United States, a young Joshua Norton arrived at the Cape of Good Hope as part of a grand British scheme: the 1820 Settler scheme. His family, like thousands of others, was promised fertile land to serve as a buffer against the Xhosa kingdoms on the volatile Eastern Cape frontier. 
This wryly humorous and meticulously researched novel plunges you into the brutal reality of the Albany district, a land far from the promise of prosperity. Here, the Norton family struggles to farm unforgiving soil amidst a maelstrom of cultural conflict. The air is thick with tension between the newly arrived British, the established Dutch colonists, and the resilient Xhosa people defending their ancestral lands, all set against the backdrop of the relentless Frontier Wars. 
Witness Joshua’s formative years shaped by violence, economic ruin, and the stark absurdities of colonial ambition. It is on this scarred and contested ground that a boy is forged—his keen sense of justice warped by tragedy, his reality blurred by the immense pressure of a world perpetually at war. This is the definitive account of how a not-very-successful settler’s son began his extraordinary journey to become the beloved monarch of a realm that existed only in his magnificent, fractured mind.

Despite his best efforts, the only thing to reign after Charles's death is chaos. Son battles son, Christianity battles paganism, and Charles's daughter flees his court for an enemy's love. Based on a true story, Anvil of God is a whirlwind of love, honor, sacrifice, and betrayal that follows a bereaved family's relentless quest for power and destiny.

In 1868, William Standing, a man shadowed by his history, is forced into thievery, taking a majestic horse that is half mustang, half Arabian. He returns to an unspeakable tragedy: his sister's homestead ravaged by the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, a tribe notorious for their fearsome warfare, leaving only the children taken captive. Driven by desperation, Standing tracks the Cheyenne, witnessing the aftermath of their raids. In an unexpected confrontation, Standing proves his mettle, rescuing the children but surrendering the black horse to his adversaries. Just as hope dawns, the horse's original owners emerge, leading to Standing's harsh sentencing: twenty years in Georgia Penitentiary. His escape sparks a relentless search for the scattered children, now with distant kin. Joining Buffalo Bill's Wild West show offers Standing a guise to move from town to town, yet the Pinkertons' pursuit is unyielding. His quest is a tumultuous ride through the heart of a man's indomitable spirit and the wild tapestry of the American frontier.
