Book Description
In Vacari, where towering mountains meet enchanted forests, the ancient guardians of the land have kept peace for centuries. Kimras, the wise and steadfast Gold Dragon, and Amara, the courageous Amethyst Dragon, have long safeguarded their realm. But a growing shadow stirs beneath Vacari’s surface, threatening to shatter the delicate balance between light and dark. When Zlyron, the ruthless Red Dragon, and Glaceria, the cunning and unyielding White Dragon, emerge from the shadows, they bring a dangerous alliance bent on destruction. Their ambition reaches beyond territory—they seek nothing less than dominion over all life in Vacari, with plans to plunge the world into chaos. As ancient secrets resurface, Kimras and Amara must unite their allies and forge new, unlikely bonds with those who have long held grievances against each other. Facing perilous lands and battles against fierce adversaries, the noble dragons of Vacari embark on a journey fraught with treachery and heroism, where honor and the bonds of friendship are their only shields against an ever-encroaching darkness. Will courage and the strength of the heart be enough to overcome an evil as old as time itself? Or will Vacari fall to the rise of the ancients?

The Rise of Rome
Author: Kathryn Lomas
Publisher: Belknap Press
ISBN: 0674659651
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
By the third century BC, the once-modest settlement of Rome had conquered most of Italy and was poised to build an empire throughout the Mediterranean basin. What transformed a humble city into the preeminent power of the region? In The Rise of Rome, the historian and archaeologist Kathryn Lomas reconstructs the diplomatic ploys, political stratagems, and cultural exchanges whereby Rome established itself as a dominant player in a region already brimming with competitors. The Latin world, she argues, was not so much subjugated by Rome as unified by it. This new type of society that emerged from Rome’s conquest and unification of Italy would serve as a political model for centuries to come. Archaic Italy was home to a vast range of ethnic communities, each with its own language and customs. Some such as the Etruscans, and later the Samnites, were major rivals of Rome. From the late Iron Age onward, these groups interacted in increasingly dynamic ways within Italy and beyond, expanding trade and influencing religion, dress, architecture, weaponry, and government throughout the region. Rome manipulated preexisting social and political structures in the conquered territories with great care, extending strategic invitations to citizenship and thereby allowing a degree of local independence while also fostering a sense of imperial belonging. In the story of Rome’s rise, Lomas identifies nascent political structures that unified the empire’s diverse populations, and finds the beginnings of Italian peoplehood.

Pages : 350
Book Description
Reminiscent of the works of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly comes the latest in an action-packed series about the nation’s most secret agency---the Event Group Ten thousand years before the Roman Empire marched great legions across the known world, there was a civilization dedicated to the sciences of earth, sea, and sky. In the City of Light lived people who made dark plans to lay waste to their uncivilized neighbors using the very power of the planet itself. As the great science of their time was brought to bear on the invading hordes, hell was set loose on Earth. And the civilization of Atlantis disappeared in a suicidal storm of fire and water. Now history threatens to repeat itself. The great weapon of the Ancients has been uncovered in the South Pacific, and it is being deciphered by men of hatred---by an evil once thought banished from history. Again, the black swastika of hate is rising. Their plan is to attempt to control and direct the most destructive force this world has yet to see, a weapon that would make nuclear arms pale in comparison. The world starts to tremble under the power of the ancient science. The seas rise, the earth cracks, and entire cities crumble to dust as the evil plan mapped out thousands of years before takes shape. The Event Group, the most secret department of the United States government, staffed by the most brilliant men and women of science, philosophy, and the military, must take the lead and try to stop the power of the Ancients. With a presidential mandate to discover the truth behind the myths and legends of history, the Event Group fights to ensure that mistakes from the past are never repeated. Headed by Colonel Jack Collins, the Group must face its most dangerous assignment ever: to find the lost trail of the Ancients and unearth the missing key before the new Reich. Can the most secret federal service of the United States track down the lost trail that will lead them to the lair of this secret power? Or will the world explode in a chain reaction that began more than eleven thousand years ago? The Event Group is the world's only hope as they search and battle for the lost power of the Ancients. Heart-pounding action combines with historical adventure as the Event Group discovers that some myths never die. . . .
