But true love may be the most perilous quest of all… Sir Lancelot, First Knight of King Arthur’s realm and the Queen’s champion, cannot be defeated by any earthly man—as long as he keeps his oaths to Arthur and Guinevere. Though arrogant and supremely confident, he will be brought to his knees by a mere maiden: Elaine of Corbenic. Together, they will have a son, Galahad—the knight destined to find the Holy Grail. Lancelot du Lac is the greatest knight of a peerless age, blessed by the Lady of the Lake with extraordinary military prowess. His fighting ability has earned him a place at King Arthur's side, but the powers the Lady has given him come with a terrible price. Elaine of Corbenic is struggling to hold her impoverished family together. The keep is a wreck and the peasants, starving, are on the brink of rebellion. Elaine's father is obsessed with finding the Holy Grail, and her older brother, maimed by Lancelot in a joust, is a bitter drunkard. Without a dowry, she has little hope for the future. Incognito, Lancelot rides into Corbenic on his way to the king's tournament. He finds the practical Elaine irresistible. Thoroughly dismayed when she reveals her contempt for "Lancelot," he must face his own arrogance to win her hand. For only with Elaine at his side will Lancelot have the strength to free himself from the enchantments that bind him…

Download or read book The Guinevere Deception written by Kiersten White and published by Ember. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes a new fantasy series reimagining the Arthurian legend, set in the magical world of Camelot . . . . There was nothing in the world as magical and terrifying as a girl. Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the charismatic King Arthur. With magic clawing at the kingdom's borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution--send in Guinevere to be Arthur's wife . . . and his protector from those who want to see the young king's idyllic city fail. The catch? Guinevere's real name--and her true identity--is a secret. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot. To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old--including Arthur's own family--demand things continue as they have been, and the new--those drawn by the dream of Camelot--fight for a better way to live. And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land. Deadly jousts, duplicitous knights, and forbidden romances are nothing compared to the greatest threat of all: the girl with the long black hair, riding on horseback through the dark woods toward Arthur. Because when your whole existence is a lie, how can you trust even yourself? *THE FIRST BOOK IN THE CAMELOT RISING TRILOGY*

Book Synopsis Deception in Medieval Warfare by : James Titterton
Download or read book Deception in Medieval Warfare written by James Titterton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First full-length study of the use and perception of deceit in medieval warfare. Deception and trickery are a universal feature of warfare, from the Trojan horse to the inflatable tanks of the Second World War. The wars of the Central Middle Ages (c. 1000-1320) were no exception. This book looks at the various tricks reported in medieval chronicles, from the Normans feigning flight at the battle of Hastings (1066) to draw the English off Senlac Hill, to the Turks who infiltrated the Frankish camp at the Field of Blood (1119) disguised as bird sellers, to the Scottish camp followers descending on the field of Bannockburn (1314) waving laundry as banners to mimic a division of soldiers. This study also considers what contemporary society thought about deception on the battlefield: was it a legitimate way to fight? Was cunning considered an admirable quality in a warrior? Were the culturally and religious "other" thought to be more deceitful in war than Western Europeans? Through a detailed analysis of vocabulary and narrative devices, this book reveals a society with a profound moral ambivalence towards military deception, in which authors were able to celebrate a warrior's cunning while simultaneously condemning their enemies for similar acts of deceit. It also includes an appendix cataloguing over four hundred incidents of military deception as recorded in contemporary chronicle narratives.

R. Martin “Chock full of derring-do, blood and thunder, swashbuckling, and other good stuff evocative of Rafael Sabatini, Sir Walter Scott, and the penny-bloods.” —Paul Di Filippo, author of The Big Get-Even Quillifer—now a member of the nobility—finds himself further immersed in court politics as the outcast princess Floria is suddenly in a position of power with a rebellion stoked by a certain brilliant tactician, in this thrilling sequel to Quillifer. Rogue. Joker. Lover. Reluctant conspirator. The ambitious young Quillifer was been knighted for services to the crown, but was then banished from court by a queen who finds him obnoxious. Now, after a two-year voyage to improve his fortunes, Quillifer returns to court and is plunged immediately into a maelstrom of intrigue that triggers duels, plots, amours, and rollicking adventure. Bounding back and forth from the high councils of state to the warm bed of his mistress, Quillifer must exert every ounce of seductive charm and low cunning in order to survive. Queen Berlauda’s foreign husband brings war in his wake, along with a clutch of officials who enforce the royal will with violence, torture, and judicial murder. A dragon menaces the realm, and political conspiracy threatens the life of Quillifer’s young patroness, Princess Floria. It’s the traditional job of a knight to fight dragons and rescue princesses, but Quillifer is hardly a traditional knight, and he brings to the job an array of unorthodox skills that dazzles his swarm of rivals, seduces their wives, and threatens the realm. But there’s a greater menace to Quillifer than deadly political intrigue, for once again he finds himself hunted by the cruel, beautiful, and vengeful goddess Orlanda.

Book Synopsis The Dividing Line by : Sherrie C. Knight
Download or read book The Dividing Line written by Sherrie C. Knight and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solomon states in Proverbs 23:23, Buy the truth, and do not sell it. Also wisdom and instruction and understanding Proverbs 19:8 says, He who gets wisdom loves his soul; He who keeps understanding will find good. In The Dividing Line; The difference between Discernment and Deception, it is my desire to give everyone an understanding of the importance of discernment, and deception. Discernment is very critical to the way we make choices. As soon as we get up in the morning, we are making decisions; it is important to make these decisions wisely. We can choose to start our day by seeking the Lord or take the day for granted and chance the consequences. This is the same with the other areas of our lives and those we have to make decisions for. Why not be more thought-provocative when doing so? It may be the difference between victory and defeat. I hope that all who read The Dividing Line; The Difference between Discernment and Deception will come to a place of new revelation and allow it to change their unwanted and unwise situations.

Book excerpt: After becoming permanently disabled from a horrific act of violence perpetrated by an amateur assassin, police Captain Greg Strong was forced into early retirement. The motive for the attempt on his life was never determined. The captain, along with his wife, Maggie, moved from Miami Beach to the Blue Ridge Mountains where they hoped to live out the remainder of their lives in peace. But this was not to be. A strange set of disruptive circumstances sent them on a mission of deception and intrigue. Not only is Deceived a graphic and gritty work of fiction, it is also riddled with the experiences of the author, Major Fred Wooldridge, who spent 28 years with the Miami Beach Police Department. Only a veteran police officer with so much street experience could write such a book and tell of such events. The characters and events in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author. Sit back, take a deep breath and prepare to be entertained and deceived. Fred Wooldridge is also author of, Im Moving Back to Mars.
Book Synopsis Deception and Democracy in Classical Athens by : Jon Hesk
Download or read book Deception and Democracy in Classical Athens written by Jon Hesk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-23 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 2000, is a full-length study of the representation of deceit and lies in classical Athens. Dr Hesk traces the ways in which Athenian drama, democratic oratory and elite prose-writing construct and theorize a relationship between dishonesty and civic identity. He focuses on the ideology of military trickery, notions of the 'noble lie' and the developing associations of rhetorical language with deceptive communication. Deception and Democracy in Classical Athens combines close analysis of Athenian texts with lively critiques of modern theorists and classical scholars. Athenian democratic culture was crucially informed by a nuanced, anxious and dynamic discourse on the problems and opportunities which deception presented for its citizenry. Mobilizing comparisons with twentieth-century democracies, the author argues that Athenian literature made deception a fundamental concern for democratic citizenship. This ancient discourse on lying highlights the dangers of modern resignation and postmodern complacency concerning the politics and morality of deception.
