Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring 1148—Mediterranean Coast Mamille of Rou, alias Rose, is one of three elite female bodyguards remaining to protect Queen Eleanor of France. The unusual guard began the holy pilgrimage from France to seize the important city of Edessa from infidels. Along the way, Mamille has been unable to quell her attraction to the strong and handsome Dominus Brochard, a Knight Templar who has travelled with Eleanor’s guard since the very beginning. But unbeknownst to Mamille, Dominus has been working undercover on behalf of the bishop of Clairvaux, ensuring Eleanor’s husband, King Louis, is protected from certain political advisors with nefarious aims. Mamille thinks Dominus is way too virile to be chaste, though she honors his decision. Dominus thinks she is way too beautiful to sleep alone, and his frustration lies in being unable to claim her for himself. Instead, he watches over her from afar and takes his jealousy out on the enemy Turks. But there is someone else watching both of them. Someone with enough power and influence to tear the king and queen apart and wrest Mamille and Dominus away from each other forever.

Book excerpt: A young adult folk tale for those seeking adventure, romance, and a little bit of good old-fashioned swash-buckling. "Throne of Glass" gets a classic fairytale treatment in this romantic tale of heroism, family, and sacrifice. Set in the fantastical city of Porto Venere, Cecilia and Ada Belmonte are two orphans on a quest to save the kingdom that their father died to protect. Cecilia is headstrong and quick to draw her sword. Ada is book smart and itching for a rebellion. When they meet the queen, the prince, and their loyal captain, they begin a twisted journey to a dark prisoner in the north, lost desert cities, and the truth about the king who united them all."For fans of The Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson, or Marie Rutoski's The Winner's Trilogy, The Queen's Guard is the standalone medieval fantasy that the Young Adult community has been looking for. Krenselewski does a fantastic job of using multiple perspectives and political intrigue to propel the story at a perfect pace. Fascinating character development allows this book to soar, with strong female protagonists at the center of the action. Impactful relationships are present throughout the story line, and dynamic stakes and experiences are placed at the threshold of all the action, creating a scaffolding of tension that lifts the plot. The setting, with Venetian merchant vibes, is lush and rich, filled to the brim with stunning descriptions that fabricates a world so real, it's hard to believe it doesn't exist. Krenselewski tracks the journey of this kingdom, this world, with the precision of a historian. A astute reflection of our own times, this novel facilitates a necessary discussion of immigration to woman's rights to censorship, and the underlying politics that shape any society. Never, though, does the moral of the story come off as didactic, instead, it provides an underlying, but consistent, message of faith in others and using your own strength to make a positive difference. Politically engaging, action-packed, with smart, snappy dialogue, a twist that will have you at the edge of your seat, and a cast of unforgettable characters, The Queen's Guard exceeds expectations on all fronts. Addictive, fast-paced and authentic, you won't be able to put it down."-- Annalise Errico

Download or read book For Queen and Currency written by Michael Gillard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In For Queen & Currency, investigative journalist Michael Gillard exposes a massive fraud and security scandal at Buckingham Palace which Scotland Yard and the Royal Household tried to suppress. Drawing on thousands of leaked documents and police sources, Gillard tells the inside story of a group of Royalty Protection officers who entertained a life of high-risk gambling, brown envelopes of cash and striking gangster poses on the throne of England while guarding the royal family and their secrets from terrorism and press intrusion. Paul Page, a young royal protection officer turned degenerate gambler, ran a hedge fund for cops during the credit and property booms. His Currency Club bet millions on movement in sterling and gold and paid investors returns beyond the dreams of avarice and financial logic. As word spread to other royal palaces, more protection officers and their friends piled in with savings and cheap loans from banks, many of which were running their own Ponzi scam. Page was hiding huge gambling losses and when the returns dried up a hit man threatened his family, sending the royal cop over the edge and on the rampage with a gun. Scotland Yard tried to spin the scandal to divert attention from its own regulatory failures. But Page refused to go quietly. His sensational trial became an arena to expose the elite royalty protection squad and the private life of a senior royal. “The Queen is going to be mightily pissed off,” he warned. “[There was] an agreed understanding that what happened at Royalty stayed at Royalty.” Not any more.

As new forms of terrorism and extremism appear, especially online, we need a responsibly widened view of such threats and how they manifest in the contemporary world. Canadians should not be more fearful, Carvin explains, but a more sophisticated understanding among security services personnel and the general public is needed if we are to anticipate and ameliorate threats to national security. As a former security analyst tasked with providing threat assessments to high levels of government, Carvin writes with both authority and urgency. Her book presents an insider’s look at the issues facing the Canadian security and intelligence community. Timely and accessible, Stand on Guard will be required reading for scholars, practitioners, and any Canadian concerned about national security in the twenty-first century.
