Book Description
In this medieval Scottish romance, an English lady’s unhappy betrothal leads to danger, adventure, and passion on the Scottish moors. Scotland, 1292. Lady Sarra Bellacote would sooner marry a boar than a countryman of the bloodthirsty brutes who killed her parents. Yet despite—or perhaps because of—her valuable holdings, she is being dragged to Scotland to be wed against her will. To complicate the desperate situation, the knight hired to do the dragging is dark, wild, irresistible. And he, too, is intolerably Scottish. Giric Armstrong, Earl of Terrick, takes no pleasure in escorting a feisty English lass to her betrothed. He simply needs the coin to rebuild his castle. But the job won’t be easy. For Lady Sarra isn’t the only one determined to see her engagement fail. Men with darker motives want to stop the wedding—even if it means killing the bride. Now, in close quarters with this beautiful English heiress, Terrick must fight his mounting desire, and somehow keep Sarra alive long enough to lose her forever to another man . . . “Plenty of action . . . loads of treachery. Fans of medieval Scotland will enjoy.” —Library Journal

Book Description
A powerful Lord Supreme obsessed with a Lady of stature imprisons her in his fortress. She escapes to safety by accepting an Oath to uphold the duty as the Lady of Time. With her new powers; the ability to manipulate Time, she banishes her gaoler to another dimension where his memory is erased, he is given a new name; Karob and is forced to take up an Oath; to uphold Karma. Over 3,000 years have gone by and the Lady of Time, confident she will never meet the Lord again, diverts from her Oath and starts a new life on Earth. Perchance Karob is executing his duty on Earth when he catches sight of her and breaks his Oath in favour of his original intention; to possess and incarcerate her once again. Forces are put into play that will make both choose between pursuing their own personal desires or upholding their Oaths; but the wrong choice will have severe consequences, as some Oaths cannot be broken.

Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Reformation
Author: Dennis Taylor
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1666902098
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Reformation: Literary Negotiation of Religious Difference explores how Shakespeare’s plays dramatize key issues of the Elizabethan Reformation, the conflict between the sacred, the critical, and the disenchanted; alternatively, the Catholic, the Protestant, and the secular. Each play imagines their reconciliation or the failure of reconcilation. The Catholic sacred is shadowed by its degeneration into superstition, Protestant critique by its unintended (fissaparous) consequences, the secular ordinary by stark disenchantment. Shakespeare shows how all three perspectives are needed if society is to face its intractable problems, thus providing a powerful model for our own ecumenical dialogues. Shakespeare begins with history plays contrasting the saintly but impractical King Henry VI, whose assassination is the ”primal crime,” with the pragmatic and secular Henry IV, until imagining in the later 1590’s how Hal can reconnect with sacred sources. At the same time in his comedies, Shakespeare imagines cooperative ways of resolving the national ”comedy of errors,” of sorting out erotic and marital and contemplative confusions by applying his triple lens. His late Elizabethan comedies achieve a polished balance of wit and devotion, ordinary and the sacred, old and new orders. Hamlet is Shakespeare’s ultimate Elizabethan consideration of these issues, its so-called lack of objective correlation a response to the unsorted trauma of the Reformation.
