“Romance and chivalry are alive and well,” declared The Literary Times of this beloved medieval series. “Claire Delacroix brings them alive with her stunning talent for storytelling!” Experience the passion, adventure, and magic all over again as the extraordinary heroes and heroines of the first three Bride Quest novels live and love in this wonderful eBook bundle. THE PRINCESS Forced to marry one of the sons of the man who had conquered her family’s castle, Princess Brianna issues a seemingly impossible challenge: He who returns with a gift that makes her laugh will win her hand. Burke and Rowan, knights both, set out at her command. Only Luc Fitzgavin remains, refusing to indulge the glorious Irish princess. Even Brianna’s legendary beauty cannot tempt him—until she invades his senses . . . and his soul. THE DAMSEL Once upon a time, Burke Fitzgavin galloped into Kiltorren Castle and fell in love with Alys, the lord’s orphaned niece—only to be sent away through tricks and lies. When Burke returns to Kiltorren, his long-lost love has become a servant on her uncle’s estate, paying penance for their long-ago embrace. Even as Burke slowly rekindles her desire, Alys’s family attempts to thwart him. Thus begins Burke’s greatest challenge ever: the battle to win the hand and the heart of his one true love. THE HEIRESS No woman can resist Rowan de Montvieux, but the dashing rogue has set out to wed only the wealthiest heiress in Ireland. When a slave merchant offers to sell him a ragged peasant girl who carries herself like a queen, Rowan suspects she can lead him to the bride he seeks—never imagining she is the sought-after Bronwyn of Ballyroyal. But their perilous voyage kindles passions that risk both their lives, as the beautiful, defiant slave girl slowly takes possession of his wary heart.

Book Description
Painting a vivid picture of the original peoples of North America, long before European colonization changed the face of the continent, the Algonquin Quest novels show the traditions, the legends and the intrigue that shaped the First Nations. For Mahingan and his family, caught in the middle of a defining conflict with the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), warfare is a part of life, but so are the natural world and the rich web of culture he shares with allies like the Omàmiwinini (Algonquin), the Ouendat (Huron), and the Nippissing. Includes I Am Algonquin This novel follows the story of a warrior named Mahingan and his family as they live the traditional Algonquin way of life long before Europeans arrived in North America. Hunting and warfare are daily concerns, and signs point to a defining conflict between Mahingan's nation and its enemies. Algonquin Spring Six years ago, Mahingan’s wife was taken from him by the Haudenosaunee at the Battle of the Falls. Now, after learning that she is still alive and captive, he and his remaining family struggle to survive and rescue her. But events 2,000 kilometres away, and a mysterious Mi’kmaq legend, are conspiring in ways that could snatch away Mahingan’s hopes. Algonquin Sunset Set twelve years after the events of Algonquin Spring, this book follows the now-grown Anokì, his sister Pangì Mahingan, and the rest of their family as they face a new enemy: the Lakȟóta.

When the world was young, the power of magic ruled—and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The dwindling Druid order and its teachings are threatened with extinction. A sinister politician has used treachery and murder to rise as prime minister of the mighty Federation. Meanwhile, poring through a long-forgotten diary, the young Druid Aphenglow Elessedil has stumbled upon the secret account of an Elven girl’s heartbreak and the shocking truth about the vanished Elfstones. But never has a little knowledge been so very dangerous—as Aphenglow quickly learns when she’s set upon by assassins. Yet there can be no turning back from the road to which fate has steered her. Whoever captures the Elfstones and their untold powers will surely hold the advantage in the devastating clash to come. But when the Druids mount an expedition to locate the missing stones, they quickly discover there may be even more at stake than they ever expected.

Book Description
This convenient eBook package contains three novels of Ireland from New York Times bestselling author Frank Delaney: · Tipperary · Shannon · Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show Tipperary: “My wooing began in passion, was defined by violence and circumscribed by land; all these elements molded my soul.” So writes Charles O’Brien, the unforgettable hero of bestselling author Frank Delaney’s extraordinary new novel–a sweeping epic of obsession, profound devotion, and compelling history involving a turbulent era that would shape modern Ireland. Shannon: In the summer of 1922, Robert Shannon, a Marine chaplain and a young American hero of the Great War, lands in Ireland. He still suffers from shell shock, and his mentor hopes that a journey Robert had always wanted to make—to find his family roots along the banks of the River Shannon—will restore his equilibrium and his vocation. But there is more to the story: On his return from the war, Robert had witnessed startling corruption in the Archdiocese of Boston. He has been sent to Ireland to secure his silence—permanently. As Robert faces the dangers of a strife-torn Ireland roiling in civil war, the nation’s myths and people, its beliefs and traditions, unfurl healingly before him. And the River Shannon gives comfort to the young man who is inspired by the words of his mentor: “Find your soul and you’ll live.” Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show: “She sprang from the womb and waved to the crowd. Then smiled and took a bow.” And so we first meet Venetia Kelly, the beguiling actress at the center of this new, spellbinding, and epic novel by Frank Delaney, the bestselling author of Ireland and Shannon. Teeming with intrigue, pathos, and humor, Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show explores two of Ireland’s great national passions: theater and politics. Writing with his signature mastery and lyrical prose, Frank Delaney once again delivers an unforgettable story as big and boisterous as the people and events it chronicles.
