Book excerpt: Governess and sleuth Harriet Unwin investigates the murder of her employer in a Victorian mystery by the Gold Dagger Award–winning author of The Governess. For a respectable governess like Harriet Unwin, her first few weeks in the wealthy yet inhospitable home of the Partingtons are as unhappy as any she could remember. The bone-chilling cold, the grim sparseness of the meals, and the embittered meanness of old Mr. Partington all contribute to an overall air of gloom. If not for the kindness shown by Mr. Partington’s son, Richard, her spirit would surely be crushed. But worse is yet to come for Harriet. When a chance discovery reveals Mr. Partington’s most cherished secret, Harriet is sure that the shock is what causes the old man’s fatal heart attack. The doctor, however, thinks otherwise. It was neither illness nor old age that killed poor Mr. Partington. It was poison. And when suspicion falls on Richard, it’s up to Harriet to find the real killer and save an innocent man from the gallows. Author of the popular Inspector Ghote series, H.R.F. Keating writes the charming and chilling Harriet Unwin mysteries under the pseudonym Evelyn Hervey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No series since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most.” —Paste Magazine The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war. Daevabad has fallen. After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people. But the bloodletting and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara’s dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies. Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad’s deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her human home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship with Nahri, but his very faith. As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved . . . and take a stand for those they once hurt.

Book excerpt: Egypt 1100 BCE – disease and old age have weakened Pharaoh’s grip on power. Egypt’s Council of Archpriests seeks to supplant him. But their pride and heavy-handedness have plunged the kingdom into dire straits. In order to avert a crisis twenty-two year old Crown Prince Ramses issues directives that will ease the suffering of his people and gain much needed funding for his own future reign. The priests however thwart his efforts. Conflict erupts. While the high priests have but a few allies and the wealth of the temples as well as an unusually smart organizing capability, a great majority of the people, the police, the army, and even many of the subordinate priests all side with the young fair-minded ruler. Uneven as these odds are the outcome is far from certain, and the consequent power struggle threatens the kingdom and the ancient world with the collapse of the social order. The Throne of Osiris is a historical saga of intrigue and subterfuge, an epic account of crisis in government and the struggle for dominance. This classic tale serves up a lavish depiction of life in ancient Egypt, the structure of its society, its religious beliefs, and traditions. With numerous parallels to today’s world it is a study in the raw mechanisms of power and explores the attempts of the young to govern and to right society’s wrongs.

Book Synopsis Throne of Wisdom by : Ilene H. Forsyth
Download or read book Throne of Wisdom written by Ilene H. Forsyth and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wooden statue of the Mother and Child enthroned, known as sedes sapientiae, the Seat or Throne of Wisdom, reached the brilliant culmination of its development as a genre of religious sculpture in the twelfth century. As a visible expression of the mystery of Incarnation, its iconography dated back to the early church. Translated by the Romanesque sculptor into a fully plastic, freestanding form, its style conveys convincingly the medieval vision of humanity and divinity interfused. The recent cleaning and restoration of a number of these wood-carved figures of the Madonna in Majesty has now made possible a full appraisal of the genre. Mrs. Forsyth's discussion examines the character, function, iconography, and history of the statues; distinguishes types and regional styles; considers their role within the broader context of medieval art; and assesses their artistic merit. Her register of principal examples includes 110 sculptures dating from twelfth century France, some of which have never been published before. 192 illustrations accompany the text. Ilene H. Forsyth is Associate Professor in the Department of the History of Art, at the University of Michigan. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now an Indie Next pick! A Most Anticipated Pick for BookRiot | FanFi Addict | The Nerd Daily | io9 | We Are Bookish | Buzzfeed Book of the Year for Kirkus Reviews, Book of the Year for Gizmodo “A delicious tangle of romance, fealty, and dangerous politics.”—Tasha Suri The Goblin Emperor meets "Magnificent Century" in Alexandra Rowland's A Taste of Gold and Iron, where a queer central romance unfolds in a fantasy world reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire. Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, finds himself at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court—the body-father of the queen's new child—in an altercation which results in his humiliation. To prove his loyalty to the queen, his sister, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds, with the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy, and the conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing and bring about its ruin. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

In a new Dark Ages, legends about the ancient people have spread everywhere. Civilization settled into a new normal. Leandra is the heir to the throne of a small country called Indiga. Her royal parents sent her away as a baby for her safety, and her adoptive parents took her far from Indiga and settled in a village called Jabethin. She grew up thinking she was a country girl named Brina. She is happy living a simple country life. Vail, a man from Indiga, travels to the small village of Jabethin on a mission concerning Leandra. He is attacked near his destination by a strange hooded man. Brina finds him in the woods and brings help from Jabethin. Keeping his mission a secret, Vail finds himself falling in love with Brina, not knowing she is Leandra. A man named Kerr is sent to bring Leandra back home because the king is dying. Someone doesn't want him to succeed and sends several men ahead of Kerr to various locations, including the man coerced into the mission against his will. When Kerr arrives in Jabethin, Vail finds out Brina is Leandra. Brina discovers she's heir to the throne in a distant country and is angry. Her life has been a lie, and now Kerr plans to take her away from the only home she's known. Kerr spotted the enemies planted to cause trouble on their return trip and realizes they must go home by a different route. They begin a perilous journey through a hostile land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everyone knows about Noah, Moses, and Paul. But what about Hagar, Michal, and Priscilla, all women who had a direct influence in the story of God's people? The Bible is full of fascinating, powerful, and faithful women, as well as lessons that have unique meaning for women today." "In The Women's Study Bible, respected Bible scholars draw out these often overlooked stories and reveal the lives of women at the time and share lessons for women of today. Separate sidebars cover topics such as midwifery, women disciples, and female images of God. The Women's Study Bible doesn't shy away from the difficult issues, but helps readers to understand them better in both their original context and the modern world." "The New Living Translation of the Bible uses inclusive language for humanity and where it is clear that both male and female are meant to be included." --Book Jacket.
