Book excerpt: It is the late summer of 1814, and Hannah Bonner and her half brother Luke have spent more than a year searching the islands of the Caribbean for Luke’s wife and the man who abducted her. But Jennet’s rescue, so long in coming, is not the resolution they’d hoped for. In the spring she had given birth to Luke’s son, and in the summer Jennet had found herself compelled to surrender the infant to a stranger in the hope of keeping him safe. To claim the child, Hannah, Luke, and Jennet must journey first to Pensacola. There they learn a great deal about the family that has the baby. The Poiterins are a very rich, very powerful Creole family, totally without scruple. The matriarch of the family has left Pensacola for New Orleans and taken the child she now claims as her great-grandson with her. New Orleans is a city on the brink of war, a city where prejudice thrives and where Hannah, half Mohawk, must tread softly. Careful plans are made as the Bonners set out to find and reclaim young Nathaniel Bonner. Plans that go terribly awry, isolating them from each other in a dangerous city at the worst of times. Sure that all is lost, and sick unto death, Hannah finds herself in the care of a family and a friend from her past, Dr. Paul de Guise Savard dit Saint-d’Uzet. It is Dr. Savard and his wife who save Hannah’s life, but Dr. Savard’s half brother who offers her real hope. Jean-Benoit Savard, the great-grandson of French settlers, slaves, and Choctaw and Seminole Indians, is the one man who knows the city well enough to engineer the miracle that will reunite the Bonners and send them home to Lake in the Clouds. With Ben Savard’s guidance, allies are drawn from every segment of New Orleans’s population and from Andrew Jackson’s army, now pouring into the city in preparation for what will be the last major battle of the War of 1812.

Download or read book The Queen of Swords written by Judy Grahn and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1987 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wise and witty collection of poetry and drama, The Queen of Swords is a magnificent re-creation of an ancient myth. Based on the five-thousand-year-old Sumerian story of the perilous descent of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, to the underworld to expand her worldly powers, the book retells Inanna's story in a poetic drama and two long poems. The play 'The Queen of Swords' is set in a modern context, an underground lesbian bar where Nothing is the bartender and seven Crow Dykes confound definition. Helen, the modern-day Inanna, a goddess of beauty, life, and light, descends to this underworld bar and confronts the midnight queen of creative violence and transformation, Ereshkigal. The relationship that develops between these two female mythic characters is a powerful metaphor for the struggles that attend all human transformations. The two long poems in the second half of The Queen of Swords are also about descent and struggle. In 'Descent to the Roses of the Family' a contemporary American woman speaks to her brother about their parents, asking him to help her avoid teh same descent to misery that her parents endured--violence, alcoholism, madness. The final poem, 'Talkers in a Dream Doorway,' is a passionate tribute to the powers women have developed and a testimony to the delicate balancing these powers require."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: Queen of Swords by Katee Robert When the cards tell Ophelia Leoni she's supposed to marry the Prince of Hansarda, the gunrunner grits her teeth and boards the starship that comes for her. It doesn't matter if the ship's commander is the gorgeous stranger she just spent a wild, drunken night with. As a Diviner, she's painfully aware the cards don't lie. Ever. Boone O'Keirna knows Ophelia is trouble the second he sees the way she moves. Not about to let the little hellcat marry his sadistic half-brother, Boone pretends to be the Prince's emissary and kidnaps Ophelia. Too bad they can't be in the same room without him wanting to throw her out an airlock–or into bed. Even as they fight each other–and their explosive attraction–Ophelia and Boone sense something is wrong. Too much is going their way. Soon, they realize while the cards may never lie, the truth is sometimes hidden between them...and the future king of Hansarda is not one to take defeat lying down.
