Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Battling against ferocious winds in Jutland, blizzards in the Rockies, traffic jams of cyclists along the Danube and menus in Czech, Hungarian and Basque, Mustoe survives with her usual fortitude and wry humour, even when she is knocked off her bike by a short-sighted nonagenarian in a Fiat Panda.

Santiago's sacred route takes humanity to a threshold veiled by a mosaic of lore and myth. It invites us to a more intimate solidarity with our past, and with ourselves.

Download or read book Villon written by Terence Morgan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francois Villon, thief, killer, blackguard, fornicator, pimp, incorrigible rogue and France's foremost poet, walked through the gates of Paris and disappeared from history on January 5th., 1463, aged 32. Where did he go? What did he do? Terence Morgan (author of 'The Master of Bruges', 'The Shadow Prince' and 'The Book of David' trilogy -- 'Goliath', 'Saul' and 'Joab')) answers these questions in his own inimitable way, with Villon cutting a rambunctious, scurrilous swathe through the western Europe of his time, spending time in France, Spain, Germany and Norway. In turn hilarious, touching and tragic, his story moves from the stews of Paris to the high life of French nobility and back again, as Francois takes pilgrimage, prison cells and prostitutes in his stride, while always producing peerless poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knights Templar battle an occult order in this “soundly researched [and] briskly paced” alternate history set during the Scottish War of Independence (Booklist). In this stunning sequel to their acclaimed historical fantasy The Temple and the Stone, coauthors Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris return to the legends of the fabled Order of the Knights Templar, the mystical medieval brotherhood of warrior monks born in the crucible of the Holy Land Crusades. Returning to a brilliantly recreated alternate past, two of the world’s premier fantasists spin a breathtaking tale of courage, destiny, duty, and magic that unfolds against a backdrop of England’s tumultuous struggle with Scotland and the heroic exploits of Scotsmen Robert the Bruce and William “Braveheart” Wallace. Unwavering devotion to God and their magical order has carried noble knights Arnault de Saint Clair and Torquil Lennox into the heat of battle in war-torn Scotland in these dark days of conflict, only to discover that there are forces at work far more sinister than kings and crowns. The English liege, Edward I, is determined to destroy the Knights Templar, who have sided with the enemy Scots, while in France, Philip IV, known as “King Philip the Fair,” is driven by his greed for the legendary Templar wealth and would usurp the power of the Pope himself to attain their riches. But unbeknownst to either king, they are both in the thrall of the Knights of the Black Swan, a malevolent supernatural order with loyalties to Lucifer alone. On the eve of the decisive battle of Bannockburn, Saint Clair, Lennox, and their brave Templar brethren will be compelled to stand against these minions of the Devil, who are willing to see thousands die and kingdoms crumble to feed their unholy hunger for ultimate power. The Temple and the Crown is an epic tale that celebrates a history that never was, a legend that has endured for centuries, and the heroic exploits of Scotsmen Robert the Bruce and William “Braveheart” Wallace.
