Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fires of war begin to burn again in Germany as the Third Reich look to forge an empire the likes the world has never seen. Lady Morgan Worthington and the Knights of the White Dragon arrive to assist the Nazi Regime with the power of the Palladium as they have done for centuries, only this time finding the ultimate despot who will seemingly stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Their rivals, the Knights of the Red Dragon, led by British Government Official Todd Allen, born of the Sir Galahad bloodline and Camille Rochelle, a French Resistance soldier born of the Sir Gawain bloodline, must challenge the surge of hate spreading across Europe...but a vital ally in World War I veteran Ben Benson of the Sir Bedivere bloodline faces a more personal challenge of his own. The Sacred Band of one-hundred and fifty male lovers fight to prevent the Palladium and cursed Necklace of Harmonia once again reigning terror upon the innocents caught in their infinite cycle of destruction, the oath their ancestors swore upon in Ancient Thebes. But with so many of their kind targeted by ruthless schemes of persecution, the allies to the Red Dragon wear thin. Adam Drobinski, a Polish fighter pilot and Concentration Camp escapee flees to the safety of Britain and discovers what he long considered a weakness in his sexuality to be his greatest strength in desperate times. Through the secret workings of Bletchley Park and cryptographers united in stalling the Nazi advance, messages are received relating to another precious relic, not of the infamous Trinity, that might just be fuelling the Third Reich's success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As in all my books, the crucible here will be the love between men and boys, the Sacred Band being the finest, the most concrete example in the entire history of not only Greece, but the world. Love as a means of education, the task of the man being the betterment of his belovèd, standing loyally by his side, instructing him in the ways of men which are the ways of survival. A step-by-step apprenticeship, the end result the inculcation of courage so strong that, when captured, a lover begged the enemy to spear him in the chest and not the back, so his belovèd would not blush when he found the body. The man would have a daily story for the lad, that of the most glorious battles of them all, the Trojan War, eternal Marathon and Thermopylae, a suicide pact between friends, many of whom were lovers, all of whom died so that we, today, live free. This fully-illustrated book is an in-depth study that far exceeds the bounds of the Sacred Band, and encompasses the full history of Athens and Athenian lives, Sparta and its militaristic destiny, the historiography of Persia from its first king, Cyrus the Great, to its very last: the Great Alexander. There is not a single chapter on the love between men and boys, but let there be no doubt that such is the constant leitmotif from beginning to end, for it was the motor of Ancient Greece, beginning with hallowed Homer and the equally hallowed Achilles and Patroclus, and ending with Alexander and Hephaestion. And should the reader think I exaggerate the sexual aspect of Greek lives, Arrian claims that this is what Alexander himself said: "Sex and sleep alone make me conscious that I am mortal." I'm so convinced that this is the best book on the Sacred Band, and am so eager to have it read, that I'm offering it at the lowest price permitted by the editors.

Book excerpt: The blade of the Thirteenth has risen - cursed and unforgiving. The tale of the most dutiful Sir Percival, the Right Hand Knight of King Arthur, surges back to life in the unassuming Spanish city of Manresa - fabled location of Castle Corbenic and the venerable Fisher King. The city and its people appear unharmed by the ill fortunes that plagued the world at the hands of Niobid Damasichthon, but the source of its protection raises fears amongst the Sacred Band and those descendants of the Round Table. A delve into history and the swell of the Iberian Empire at the hands of Morgan le Fay through her control of the Palladium and Necklace of Harmonia unlocks secrets behind the rise and fall of the infamous Armada and subsequent dawning of the Elizabethan Golden Age - all not being as it seems when compared to the familiar forging of empires over the many centuries. A poisonous legacy endures, a legacy potentially unmatched by even the most formidable of relics, Excalibur.

Book excerpt: From classicist James Romm comes a “striking…fascinating” (Booklist) deep dive into the last decades of ancient Greek freedom leading up to Alexander the Great’s destruction of Thebes—and the saga of the greatest military corps of the time, the Theban Sacred Band, a unit composed of 150 pairs of male lovers. The story of the Sacred Band, an elite 300-man corps recruited from pairs of lovers, highlights a chaotic era of ancient Greek history, four decades marked by battles, ideological disputes, and the rise of vicious strongmen. At stake was freedom, democracy, and the fate of Thebes, at this time the leading power of the Greek world. The tale begins in 379 BC, with a group of Theban patriots sneaking into occupied Thebes. Disguised in women’s clothing, they cut down the agents of Sparta, the state that had cowed much of Greece with its military might. To counter the Spartans, this group of patriots would form the Sacred Band, a corps whose history plays out against a backdrop of Theban democracy, of desperate power struggles between leading city-states, and the new prominence of eros, sexual love, in Greek public life. After four decades without a defeat, the Sacred Band was annihilated by the forces of Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander in the Battle of Chaeronea—extinguishing Greek liberty for two thousand years. Buried on the battlefield where they fell, they were rediscovered in 1880—some skeletons still in pairs, with arms linked together. From violent combat in city streets to massive clashes on open ground, from ruthless tyrants to bold women who held their era in thrall, The Sacred Band recounts “in fluent, accessible prose” (The Wall Street Journal) the twists and turns of a crucial historical moment: the end of the treasured freedom of ancient Greece.

Book excerpt: The Sacred Band Trinity concludes with the remaining Red Dragon members in a race against time to prevent Lady Morgan Worthington and her White Dragon acolytes fulfilling an ancient prophecy that would reshape the world. Luke Allen possesses the fabled blade of Excalibur, but must understand its true nature in order to wield it, whereas younger brother Adam conflicted by grief and duty as a Sacred Band warrior. The mysteries of King Arthur and the Round Table unfold before them both, and to prevent centuries worth of history repeating once more, they and their allies must stand and confront the power of the Trinity - the foundation of many faiths - and be prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect those they love. Even if this means making the ultimate sacrifices.

The knights of the White Dragon wield both the Palladium and the Necklace of Harmonia once again, a power strong enough to both create and topple empires. The world however, remains largely unchanged since the Red Dragon encountered their foes at Tintagel, leaving them to wonder exactly what their former brethren of the Round Table have planned. Meantime, a legendary relic entwined to both factions has had its own calling, with one Knight in particular having to rise to the challenge.
