Thousands of books and manuscripts are lost to the flames as the Black Friars attempt to purge Europe of the ancient secrets of the gods and the bold new ideas that are ushering in the Renaissance. Nadira lives a dreary life as servant to a wealthy spice merchant until the night a dying scholar is brought to the merchant's stable, beaten by mercenaries who are on the hunt for The Hermetica of Elysium.

Kidnapped by Baron Montrose, an adventurous nobleman, she is forced to read from the Hermetica. It is soon revealed to her that ideas and words are more powerful than steel or fire for within its pages are the words that incite the Dominicans to religious fervor, give the Templars their power and reveal the lost mysteries of Elysium. As Nadira begins her transformation from servant to sorceress, will she escape the fires of the Inquisition, the clutches of the Borgia pope, Alexander VI and the French king, Charles VIII? And will Montrose's growing fear of her powers cause her to lose her chance for love?
Download or read book My Elysium written by Joseph Zammit and published by Joseph Zammit. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Elysium I present the view that Newton's world and Einstein's world represent two different ways of understanding our universe. However, I also present the view that these two different views of our universe can come together to form subsets of my universal system. In this book, I present a general overview and summation of Newton’s world, Einstein’s world, and, what I refer to here as: ‘My Elysium’ – my ‘heaven’ or universal system. The aim of this book is to clarify some issues that may have arisen from the readings of my earlier books, Beyond Einstein’s Universe and Gravity: Demystified, and hopefully reinforce the view that I wish to promote, namely, that my understanding of the universe offers us the opportunity of going beyond both Newton's world and Einstein's world and on to something much grander.
