Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The uneasy equilibrium between the Crown, the One-Church and the Academy which ensured the supremacy of the Kingdom of Argys is about to be shattered. Dissent is rampant among the nobility while the One-Church, though weakened by heresy, is bent on bringing all magic practitioners of the Academy to heel. To make matters worse Argys's neighbours are mobilizing and the spectre of war looms large. Meanwhile, a new prophet has raised his standard. Tens of thousands are answering his rallying call for a world with No Kings, No Gods and No Mercy. Another madman perhaps, but Gaelyon, the Red Prophet, is no ordinary man and plans to reunite the shards of the Dark Gem with the complicity of Leweth, a vengeful rune mage embittered by the murder of her mother. Unlikely alliances will form in a deadly race against time. Martemio, an unassuming noble, fighting both inner demons and fiends from the Netherworld, finds himself at the centre of an epic struggle where the Universe and his own soul are at stake. Book One of the epic Fantasy trilogy "No Kings No Gods No Mercy."

The Medieval Crossbow
Author: ELLIS-GORMAN STUART
Publisher: Pen & Sword Military
ISBN: 9781526789532
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The crossbow is an iconic weapon of the Middle Ages and, alongside the longbow, one of the most effective ranged weapons of the pre-gunpowder era. Unfortunately, despite its general fame it has been decades since an in-depth history of the medieval crossbow has been published, which is why Stuart Ellis-Gorman's detailed, accessible, and highly illustrated study is so valuable. The Medieval Crossbow approaches the history of the crossbow from two directions. The first is a technical study of the design and construction of the medieval crossbow, the many different kinds of crossbows used during the Middle Ages, and finally a consideration of the relationship between crossbows and art. The second half of the book explores the history of the crossbow, from its origins in ancient China to its decline in sixteenth-century Europe. Along the way it explores the challenges in deciphering the crossbow's early medieval history as well as its prominence in warfare and sport shooting in the High and Later Middle Ages. This fascinating book brings together the work of a wide range of accomplished crossbow scholars and incorporates the author's own original research to create an account of the medieval crossbow that will appeal to anyone looking to gain an insight into one of the most important weapons of the Middle Ages.

I See Thrones!
Author: Dr. Gordon E. Bradshaw
Publisher: Whitaker House
ISBN: 1939944333
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
I SEE THRONES! is a call to spiritual arms and kingship, to maturity and wisdom, and to cultural relevance, engagement and leadership for the modern church and all kingdom citizens globally in the Seven Mountains of Culture. It is a call to shift not just attitudinally or behaviorally into a more alert and aggressive and proactive posture and mindset, but to shift positionally as well. As a theological treatise, it is revelatory and scholarly. As a roadmap and blueprint for change in tactics and engagement with culture, it is strategic and masterful. This is an important, vital and essential "missing piece" to the kingdom model that God has released to Dr. G.E. Bradshaw for the benefit of and use by the body of Christ to advance and build His kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven.
