Book excerpt: "Wonderful . . . J. V. Jones is a striking writer." So says Robert Jordan, the author of The Wheel of Time epic fantasy series. And Jones lives up to that praise in the highly charged epic adventure of Ash March and Raif Sevrance, two outcasts whose fate are entwined by ancient prophecies and need, in the cold, dark world that threatens to be torn asunder by a war to end all wars. Isolated by their birthrights, they are but two who fight the dreaded Endlords, and their strength and courage will be needed if the world is to be saved from darkness." Raif, wrongly accused and cut off from his clan by the treachery of their new headsman, has a talent for killing that is part of his curse and his burden. But he bears another burden of greater weight. Ash is a sacred warrior to the Sull, an ancient race whose numbers have declined. Raised as a foundling, never knowing her true history, she must learn to accept the terrible gifts of her heritage. But as Ash learns more of her greater fate, Raif's task looms dark and desperate, for he must journey through the nightmare realm of the Want, a place where even the Sull now fear to tread. For deep within the Want is the Fortress of Grey Ice, and there he must heal the breach in the Blindwall that already threatens the world. Should he fail, not even Ash's powers can save them. . . .

Ruling in their place were the Arabs: an upheaval so profound that it spelt, in effect, the end of the ancient world. In the Shadow of the Sword explores how this came about. Spanning from Constantinople to the Arabian desert, and starring some of the most remarkable rulers who ever lived, he tells a story vivid with drama, horror, and startling achievement.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of the Sword by : Tom Holland
Download or read book In the Shadow of the Sword written by Tom Holland and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Rubicon and other superb works of popular history now produces a thrillingly panoramic (and incredibly timely) account of the rise of Islam. No less significant than the collapse of the Roman Republic or the Persian invasion of Greece, the evolution of the Arab empire is one of the supreme narratives of ancient history, a story dazzlingly rich in drama, character, and achievement. Just like the Romans, the Arabs came from nowhere to carve out a stupefyingly vast dominion—except that they achieved their conquests not over the course of centuries as the Romans did but in a matter of decades. Just like the Greeks during the Persian wars, they overcame seemingly insuperable odds to emerge triumphant against the greatest empire of the day—not by standing on the defensive, however, but by hurling themselves against all who lay in their path.

Book Synopsis Swords and Shadows by : Charles Fraune
Download or read book Swords and Shadows written by Charles Fraune and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-16 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God loves you. You know this or have at least heard this. Satan hates you. Did you know that? Perhaps you know this already, from living in this world, even if you have not heard it preached to you. Satan hates you and, with all the demons, is dedicating his existence to bringing your life into ruin. Sorry, but it's true, and you need to know.When I was young, I remember asking a religion teacher about the devil. The answer made me think no one was able to help me with this question or any other religious question. During those classes, and every other time someone spoke to me about God, they never mentioned that I was in a battle against Satan and countless demons. Since it's true that I am, it would have seemed like a good idea to tell me - but they did not. All the while, I slowly slipped away from having any interest in God. Instead, I was slowly slipping into a major depression and crippling anxiety disorder, which took me out of college and almost out of this world.I wasn't born with a sword in my hand, but I wish I had been. It would have spared me a lot of pain. Not only would I have known that I was being attacked and provoked by Satan to reject God and embrace a life of sin, but I would have also known that the Church has a storehouse of spiritual weapons and is eagerly trying to get them into my hands. Unarmed, I turned away from God and embraced a worldly and miserable life.But God broke in to my miserable life and began to cut down the demons and shadows that had oppressed me since I was first bullied at the age of five. That dramatic conversion started me down a path of training for spiritual warfare, one which is still unfolding.As a high school Theology teacher, I have desired to give the real Truth to my students. I pray this book accomplishes the same. Let your eyes be opened. See the truth of your life and let Christ set you free from the dragon and his shadows.

Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power. Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims' secrets. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord’s intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees. Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with extensive knowledge of the world’s known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.
