Book excerpt: The Blackheart dragons have returned. As a young Moonlight Walker wolf, Sakura bristles at the tight leash her family insists on keeping her on. She yearns to join the pack and run under the glow of silvery moonlight. Still for reasons no one will explain to her, she's forced to remain within the boundaries of the secluded forest she calls home. All that changes when the ruthless Blackheart dragons invade, incinerating their peaceful forest and kidnapping members of her pack. Courage put to the test, Sakura begins a perilous quest to save her family. Yet beyond the forest, not all is what it seems. Loyalties are tested. Enemies become allies. A destiny is revealed that pits the Wolf King against the Dragon King to claim the ultimate prize-for the Blackhearts will stop at nothing to reign over her world. Murder, treachery and deceit are nothing to them. As the drums of war sound, can one wolf save the lives of many? Or will Sakura's fate be decided by those eager to destroy her?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the end of World War II, East Prussia was the German empire's farthest eastern redoubt, a thriving and beautiful land on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea. Now it lives only in history and in myth. Since 1945, the territory has been divided between Poland and Russia, stretching from the border between Russia and Lithuania in the east and south, and through Poland in the west. In Forgotten Land, Max Egremont offers a vivid account of this region and its people through the stories of individuals who were intimately involved in and transformed by its tumultuous history, as well as accounts of his own travels and interviews he conducted along the way. Forgotten Land is a story of historical identity and character, told through intimate portraits of people and places. It is a unique examination of the layers of history, of the changing perceptions and myths of homeland, of virtue and of wickedness, and of how a place can still overwhelm those who left it years before.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller The Mark of the Dragonfly comes another magical and thrilling story that takes readers on an exciting new adventure.

Stella Glass dreams of exploring worlds beyond her home of Solace, but when her famous parents are sent on a historic mission to the Uncharted Lands, it’s simply too dangerous for her to join them. By order of the king, she is left behind. Missing out on the excitement is one thing, but Stella is devastated at the thought of her parents flying into the unknown. So she takes matters into her own hands. Instead of staying with family as planned, she steals away and—right before takeoff—sneaks aboard the airship. But Stella isn’t the only stowaway. In the cargo bay is a boy who is also desperate to get to the Uncharted Lands. And someone else who’s determined to keep the ship from making it there at all. . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Quest for Middle-earth he suggests that The Lord of the Rings may be more than an imaginary tale set thousands of years in the past in a place called Middle-earth! What if J.R.R. Tolkien weaved his fictional characters into a tapestry created from the secret knowledge of earth's ancient history?" Is there historical and archaeological evidence that supports this position and was any of this knowledge known to Tolkien? Recent discoveries in Iraq (ancient Sumer, Babylon), Greece and Finland confirm the possibility that intelligent creatures once lived and worked alongside man. There are clues that point to the fact, that as a race, we were the labor force required to serve superior beings - Gods - to create their vision of heaven on earth. Discover the truth about the Sang Real (Royal Blood), Rennes-la-Chateau and the Templar Knights!
