The Scottish billionaire is handsome and shockingly masculine. He looks like a modern Viking in a suit. At first glance, he’s perfect… But something dark lurks beneath the surface of his manufactured facade. And it entices me in spite of my better judgement. So, when he offers me a contract to spend six months with him on his private island, I say yes. Night after night in his bed, Hadrian makes me unravel. He plays my body like he owns it. But he doesn’t just want my pleasure—he wants my ultimate surrender. He demands the truth from me, and begins to uncover carefully guarded secrets… Secrets my mother died to protect. Over time, I want to give in. What is it about this man that makes me want to yield? Why does my resistance crumble in his presence? My mother warned me not to trust anyone. But maybe—just maybe—Hadrian Rhys is powerful enough to save us both from what’s coming…

Book Synopsis The Castle of Kings by : Oliver Pötzsch
Download or read book The Castle of Kings written by Oliver Pötzsch and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic standalone novel of historical fiction tinged with mystery, set against the backdrop of medieval Germany's Peasant War from the best-selling author of the Hangman’s Daughter series. In 1524, in what is now Germany, hundreds of thousands of peasants revolted against the harsh treatment of their aristocratic overlords. Agnes is the daughter of one of these overlords, but she is not a typical sixteenth-century girl, refusing to wear dresses and spending more time with her pet falcon than potential suitors. There is only one suitor she is interested in: Mathis, a childhood friend whom she can never marry due to his low birth status. In the midst of war, Agnes’s falcon finds a mysterious ring, and Agnes begins having strange but seemingly meaningful dreams. Dreams that lead her and Mathis to run away from their home in Trifels Castle and into the midst of the tumultuous Peasants’ War, cast into an adventure that will lead them to shocking revelations about themselves and the future of the emerging German states. “Pötzsch paints picturesque landscapes, whether it’s damp, dark castles, the stink of a medieval tannery, or whirlpool-plagued Rhine River rapids . . . Combine Princess Bride with Germanic history circa 1500, add a dash of Lord of the Rings, and there’s a week of good fun.” — Kirkus Reviews “The war scenes are grimly realistic, and the narration gripping . . . The author makes the fantastical elements work by harnessing them to the grim reality of the Peasants’ War, setting his far-fetched romance in an utterly convincing world of economic hardship, social strife and religious and political uncertainty.” — Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is difficult to decide which is the more impressive: the authority and control with which Mr. Bendix writes of the traditions, the institutions, and the technological and social developments of cultures as diverse as the British, French, German, Russian, and Japanese, or the skill with which he weaves his separate stories into a persuasive scenario of the modern revolution. A remarkable achievement."--Gordon A. Craig, Stanford University ""Kings or People" is equal to the grandeur of its subject: the political origins of the modern world. With Barrington Moore's "Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy" and Immanuels Wallerstein's "The Modern World System" which it matches in boldness, while differing radically in perspective, it is one of the truly powerful ventures in comparative historical sociology to have appeared in recent years."--Clifford Geertz "A brilliant achievement that will be equally fascinating for the general reader, the student, and the specialized scholar."--Henry W. Ehrmann

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the times of the ancients, people were unruly and murderous. The Moon wept with sadness at the violence and hatred people had for one another. As the Moon's tears fell upon the lands, seven animal spirits manifested. These spirits began to seek out the most righteous soul from each land. The seven chosen souls became one with their animal spirit and became kings over their people. They were forever protected and enlightened by their animal spirit which the people called "Shama." Each of these original Shama were known as: The Spirit of the Kings As the world became peaceful again, the Moon blessed all future newborns with their own Shama as a reward for the end of violence. Generations of peace followed, however, the people would, naturally, turn to violence once again. A great war erupted between the lands. All seven spirit of the kings were lost. They were now merely a memory: a legend. Noble families were elected to rule the lands in the absence of the true heirs. For generations, these families ruled the lands, however, rumors reached the queen of Azira that one of the sacred animals was seen heading towards the small colony of Canary Glenn. After many years, the true heir of the land would be born within a colony of peasants. This was an event that the royal family would prevent at any cost.

Book Synopsis Of Cabbages and Kings by : Caroline Foley
Download or read book Of Cabbages and Kings written by Caroline Foley and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent account” of Britain’s tradition of parceling out land for the public to grow food on, and the colorful history behind it (The Independent). This lively book tells the story of the private garden plots known as allotments—from their origin in the seventeenth century, when new enclosures that deprived the peasantry of access to common lands were fiercely protested, to the victory gardens of the world wars, and into the present day, when they serve less as a means of survival than as a respite from the modern world. While delving into the effects of the Napoleonic Wars, the Corn Laws, and the utopian dissenters known as the Diggers, the author reveals the multiple roles of allotments—and champions their history in the hope of protecting them for the future. “Foley’s book reminds us that the right to share the earth has always been an asymmetric struggle.” —The Guardian “Fascinating and handsomely illustrated.” —Daily Mail “Well-told . . . . [a] gallop through the history of useful rather than ornamental crops.” —Spectator Australia

Book Synopsis The Poisoned Crown by : Maurice Druon
Download or read book The Poisoned Crown written by Maurice Druon and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No man is impervious to the poisons of the crown...Having murdered his wife and exiled his mistress, King Louis X of France becomes besotted with Princess Clemence of Hungary and makes her his new Queen. However, though the matter of the succession should be assured, it is far from so, as Louis embarks on an ill-fated war against Flanders. Where his father, Philip IV, was strong, Louis is weak, and the ambitions of his proud, profligate barons threaten his power and the future of a kingdom once ruled by an Iron King. This is the third book in the author's Accursed Kings series of novels set in the early 14th century during the period of crisis within the ruling Capetian dynasty when after the death of the Iron King, Philip IV, his three sons ruled for short periods, thus encouraging England's King Edward III to claim the French throne through his mother, thereby precipitating the conflict known later as the Hundred Years War. The first of these sons, Louis X is the subject of this novel, and in particular his relationship with his second wife Clementia of Hungary. More plotting, scandal and family tensions abound, though the plot of this novel seems a little lighter than that of the first two books.
