Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nigh 150 years, the Marcs of Desryol have been embroiled in the Era of Campaigns. Season after season, campaigns are waged with little to nothing gained. What began as a power struggle has long devolved into a farce. And there are those who have had enough… Recha Mandas – The marquesa sworn to vengeance and the end of the campaigns. For three years, La Dama Recha Mandas has precariously balanced her Marc of Lazorna on a knife’s edge. Despite her swift rise, she has pursued neutrality with the three larger marcs surrounding her, forsaking the campaigns entirely, regardless of the damage to Lazorna’s prestige, all for one purpose—the destruction of Si Don Emaximo Borbin, Marqués of Orsembar, the man responsible for the death of her beloved. This season appears to be her last chance, and she plans to wage a campaign the marcs haven’t seen since the beginning of the era. In doing so, she may face a challenge greater than a marc three times her size. Will she be able to keep her lofty oath to end this destructive era, or will she lose herself to the thrill of campaign? Necrem Oso – The scarred blacksmith who longs for home. Nothing good comes from the campaigns, especially for Necrem Oso and his family. They have scarred both him and his wife and cast his family into destitution. What little happiness he can provide for his daughter, his little miracle, and the few good days his wife has are all that keeps him going. But the campaigns don’t care for a steel-working man’s happiness, nor does Marqués Borbin when he has grand campaign plans for this season. If men can’t contribute to the campaign effort through their labor, then they will be forced into it another way. However, opportunities can arise on campaigns. But for Necrem, if given such an opportunity, is it enough for a wronged man to keep his shoulders hunched and go home, or raise his fists and demand retribution? For over 500 years, the status of the world has gone unchanged. In one year, three events will shatter it. The second happens in the west.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His Majesty is ill, and no one knows how grave. But matters of state must press on. All hail Her Majesty to assume her husband’s authority. But the line of succession is clear … Alindale Dain – The Prince nobody wants. Alindale’s reputation is poor among the nobles and ministries. He is seen as aloof, unconfident, and a bore—nothing most want in the heir to the throne. A few encourage him to become more active, but Alindale is uncertain, trapped by everyone’s low opinion of him. However, as arising circumstances push him into a conflict with his own mother, ruling in his father’s place, will he take this opportunity to become the prince he needs to be? Or is it too late to change anyone’s mind? Tory Syros – The Outsider nobody knows. Tory is making her first appearance at court and her first venture outside her home province, the Syros Isles, yet nobody knows her. Worse still, she pales in the shadow of her older, more well-versed, beautiful, and secretly abusive sister, Serina. In an effort to set herself apart, Tory swims into deeper waters than she ever could have imagined. When faced with her own choices, will she take a stand for what she believes is right, or will she remain silent so the monsters don’t notice her? Kalleb Kane – The Deserter everybody hates. Kalleb was a lancer who left his post to join his father and brother in battle but arrived too late. After five years of imprisoned, hard labor, he is granted an exceptional parole and offer to rejoin the Storm Cavalry, his family’s legacy, and be a lancer once again. There is a price, though. He is given the lowest rank and condemned never to be promoted. He is assigned to a new company, over a troop of boys who have never held a lance in their lives, under the command of a captain who despises him and seeks to revoke his parole and to a post that holds regretful memories. But, as greater events threaten his family, Kalleb must decide: will he desert again? For over 500 years, the status of the world has gone unchanged. In one year, three events will shatter it. The first happens in the east.

Download or read book Rimualdo written by William Henry Ireland and published by Zittaw Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William-Henry Ireland's Rimualdo; or, The Castle of Badajos was first published in 1800 at the apex of the genre's popularity. Like Ann Radcliffe before him, Ireland skillfully weaves the familiar Gothic conventions with Shakespearean characteristics. Set in medieval Spain, the novel is nothing less than a register of Gothic paraphernalia: "unnatural parents, persecuted lovers, murders, haunted apartments, winding sheets and winding staircases, subterranean passages, lamps that are dim and perverse and that always go out when they should not, monasteries, caves, monks, tall, thin, and withered with lank abstemious cheeks, dreams, groans, and spectres." Rimualdo chronicles the perversely sensitive Condh Don Rimualdo's discovery an enigmatic female under the protection of the nefarious monk Sebastiano. In his attempt to unlock the mystery of the virtuous Constanza, Rimualdo is drawn into a labyrinth of depravity, villainy and nightmares where nothing is as it first appears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming tells a haunting love story set against of the more perplexing and least explored chapters of World War II. In Berlin, Berthe von Hoffman dreams of an angel in the depths, embracing her husband's submarine – and remembers Kristallnacht, when Hitler declared all-out war on the Jews. The stench of evil in that memory draws her to the headquarters of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, enigmatic head of the German secret service – and guiding spirit of the Schwarze Kapelle, the circle of courageous men and women who comprise the secret dangerous resistance to Nazism. Aboard the USS Spencer Lewis off Iceland, Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Trumbull Talbot is denouncing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's unconstitutional undeclared war against Germany when a torpedo fired by Berthe's husband, Kapitanleutnant Ernst von Hoffmann, cut the destroyer in half. Out of this conjunction grows a tormented tangle of love and jealousy and patriotic deceit when the three meet in Spain after Pearl Harbor has catapulted American into the war. By that time, Talbot's criticism of the president has wrecked both his naval career and his marriage to Annie Richman, daughter of a congressman whose power depends on FDR's political wizardry. When Talbot returns from Spain to urge negotiations with Canaris and other leaders of the German resistance, Annie, now a powerful journalist, becomes a player in the struggle for the mind of the intransigent, mortally ill president. At its gripping climax, Loyalties draws everyone into an anguished confrontation with the limits of patriotism and God's baffling role in the middle of human destiny. From murderous contests between rival intelligence agencies in Spain to the labyrinthine political machinations in Washington, London, and Berlin to warfare beneath the North Atlantic, Loyalties is a dazzling mosaic of men and women caught in the crossfire of history – yet finding in the midst of destruction and chaos inexplicable glimpse of meaning and hope.

Download or read book Music and Musicians in the Escorial Liturgy Under the Habsburgs 1563 1700 written by Michael John Noone and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the composition and performance of liturgical music in El Escorial, from its founding by Philip II in 1563 to the death of Charles II in 1700. Philip II promoted within his monastery-palace a musical foundation whose dual function as royal chapel and as monastery in the service of a Counter-Reformation monarch was unique. The study traces the ways in which music styles and practices responded to the changing functions of the institution. Perceived notions about Spanish royal musical patronage are challenged, musical manuscripts are scrutinized, biographical details of hundreds of musicians are uncovered, and musical practices are examined. Additionally, two important choral pieces are printed here for the first time.
