The Lion of Mistra: A rich tale of clashing empires (Rise of Empires)
by James HeneageThis is a rich tale of clashing empires, trade wars and tempestuous love in an age when the fate of the world hung on the survival of Byzantium; an age that made the modern world. The Ottoman Turks are at the gates of Constantinople and Luke Magoris, descended from princes of England, has to find a fortune to build defences for his beloved Mistra, the last glorious outpost of Imperial Rome, as well as saving the Emperor. He turns to China, to the Ming Empire, for trade and to Renaissance Italy for its rapidly developing banks. Both are entirely new roles for Luke and his Varangian brotherhood and many pitfalls befall him. And yet the Varangian treasure - which only he can uncover - may hold the key to all. The third novel in the epic Rise of Empires series sees its hero Luke finally come face to face with his destiny to save Byzantium.(P)2015 WF Howes Ltd
The Lion of Venice
by Deborah JohnsPledged to protect Venice from its mighty enemies, warrior lord Olivier Ducci Montaldo could not ignore a request to aid France in the Holy War against the Sultan Bayezid. That the messenger who carried the plea was none other than Lady Julian Madrigal, the child who had engineered his escape from the Sultan six years before, was even more disquieting. For Julian was now an alluring woman who demanded that Olivier honour his promises to her. The daughter of a woman rumoured to be a powerful witch, Julian's own gifts as a healer were frightening to her, but no more frightening than the passionate bond she shared with Olivier - a bond doomed by her own secrets and Olivier's betrothal to a wealthy Venetian widow. Yet as the city rallied toward Crusade, and Olivier prepared his fleet for the voyage to Nicopolis, Julian made a desperate decision that would forever alter the passionate destiny she and Olivier shared.

The Little Amish Matchmaker: A Christmas Romance
by Linda BylerSimon can't stop thinking about the pretty Amish teacher at the local one-room school. But he's ignored the sparks between them because he's so shy. So Simon's little brother, Isaac, takes matters into his own hands. He's determined to give his brother the best Christmas present ever-a date with his favorite teacher. Amish novelist Byler brings her tender humor and skillful observation of family relationships to this holiday story. "I love Isaac's self-confidence and scheming as he prods his reluctant older brother," she smiles knowingly about the characters she's created. Byler takes her reader straight into the Amish world as Isaac is both charmed and annoyed by his too talkative, but quite bright, Mam. He can barely tolerate his little nieces and nephews, who substantially outnumber the grown-ups when the whole family gets together. And he loves his humble circumspect Dat, although he isn't always pleased by how well Isaac sweeps the forebay in the barn. As anticipation for the Christmas program at the schoolhouse builds, Isaac cares for troubled Ruthie who stutters miserably when she practices her poem. And he wonders how much he'll have to help his brother Sim act on his growing affection for Teacher Catherine!
