Book Description
Raven’s Cry is a Northwest Coast classic -- a moving and powerful work that is a fictionalized retelling of the near destruction of the Haida nation. The Haida are a proud and cultured people, whose home is Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the coast of northern British Columbia. Until the first Europeans arrived in 1775, the Haida were the lords of the coast. The meeting of cultures was a fateful one: the Europeans had the advantages of firearms and immunity to their own deadly diseases. In just 150 years, the Haida and their culture were pushed to the edge of extinction. Christie Harris recreates this tale of tragedy and the ultimate survival of native spirit with dignity, beauty and ethnographic accuracy.

The London ton protect their own. Even when it comes to murder. “There’s been an incident.” In the finer circles of 1749 London, incident is apparently the polite way to describe discovering a body with a gruesome wound and no sign of the killer.

Book Description
Claim your heart’s desire Lady Angelet has spent her whole life as a pawn, acquiescing to the wishes of others. She’s been a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and a good widow. The reward for her obedience is nothing more than a one-way journey to a nunnery. Outmaneuvered by her shrewd father-in-law, Angelet is forced to accept her fate. The knight who is hired to escort her has other plans. Now known as the undefeated Knight of the Raven, the low-born but charming Sir Rafe has had to fight for everything he’s ever had. When he sees Angelet, he’s more than willing to fight for her too. Rafe makes the soon-to-be cloistered lady a salacious offer: for the duration of the journey, she can spend every night with him, and she doesn’t have to be good at all. When a deadly pursuer threatens them, Rafe defends Angelet’s life even though it means revealing his dark side. But Rafe isn’t the only one with a secret, and now that she’s sampled the life she’s dreamed of, Angelet is done being a pawn… The third book in the Swordsworn Knights: A series of full-length historical romance novels set in the vivid and beguiling world of medieval Britannia during the period known as "The Anarchy".

Raven's Revenge
Author: Roy French
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412072972
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
RavenÕs Revenge In a sequel to his award winning Raven's Honor and Raven's Fury, Roy French returns with another tale of the Raven, aka Daniel Riordan, once the most feared of all paramilitary enforcers in Ireland. When Riordan joins the firm run by a security specialist named Brian Featherstone, "Feather" to his friends, his first assignment takes him across the ocean to France, where he is to act as an intermediary for a ransom delivery. Through no fault of his own, the handover goes horribly wrong and Riordan is wounded. However, he recognizes the kidnapper as Sean Wallace, a hard case from his previous life, and vows to track him down. To do so, he must return to the hinterlands of Belfast and seek out connections that have long lain dormant. Many surprises lie in store for him, and he finds himself being played like a pawn in a chess game. He tracks down his prey and exacts revenge, but just as he thinks he has resolved the case an assault comes from an unexpected quarter, leaving a friend dead in its wake. Angered by the deceptions and mis-direction, he discovers that Major Skinner, the head of covert operations, was behind the entire operation and used him deliberately as bait to kill Wallace. Knowing the truth now makes Riordan a liability, and the Major will stop at nothing to ensure that it does not surface. But Riordan has one last surprise for the Major... Once again, French takes us on an adrenaline pumping ride, with former friends becoming fervent enemies. There is barely time to catch a breath before the pace accelerates and our hero is thrown into situations where it seems almost impossible for him to survive. The action, as always, never lets up and the plot has more twists and turns than an Irish laneway.
