Sinossi

In Fire Brands, W. C. Tuttle brings the classic Western to life through a briskly plotted tale of range conflict, frontier justice, and combustible human loyalties. Set against the rough moral landscape of the American West, the novel turns on the tensions between lawlessness and order, using vivid action, colloquial dialogue, and dry humor to animate its world. Tuttle's style is characteristically accessible and energetic, shaped by the traditions of pulp and popular magazine fiction, yet attentive to the codes of honor, masculinity, and community that defined early twentieth-century Western literature. Tuttle was among the most prolific and widely read Western writers of his generation, publishing extensively in pulp magazines and developing a reputation for combining adventure with wit. His long familiarity with the mythology and material realities of the West informed fiction that is both entertaining and culturally revealing. Fire Brands reflects his deep investment in frontier storytelling at a time when the Western served as a major vehicle for exploring American identity, violence, and self-reliance. This book is especially recommended to readers interested in the evolution of the Western as a literary form, as well as to those who appreciate fast-moving narratives grounded in regional atmosphere. Fire Brands offers not only excitement but also a valuable window into the conventions and aspirations of popular Western fiction.

'The Tudor Rose series has already firmly established itself as one of the best historical crime series today, and The Assassin's Mark has set the standard even higher' Chris Lloyd

It is March 1570 and Elizabeth’s court has just crushed the Northern rebellion that sought to throw her from the throne in favour of Mary Queen of Scots.

Burn the Spring Away

Victoria Sterling

Description：
Everyone believes Robin Maddox is fragile — a soft-spoken survivor of a brutal childhood, saved by the powerful man who adores her.

When the girl who once tormented Robin walks free, Robin's fiancé Adrian Kane swears vengeance on her behalf. But vengeance curdles. Adrian's certainty wavers, the bully whispers poison, and soon Robin finds herself the one accused of lying, locked away while her tormentor takes her place.

Adrian thinks he's holding all the power. He has no idea the quiet, trembling woman in his house has been three moves ahead of him from the day they met — and that every tear, every flinch, every plea is a weight on a scale she alone controls.

A glacial, jaw-dropping psychological revenge novel about a woman the world underestimated, and the terrible patience of someone with nothing left to lose.
