Book Description
A haunted, misunderstood outcast... or a murderer? Paul Doherty writes an epic, spine-chilling story of terror, mystery and black magic set in the Middle Ages in his spellbinding novel, The Rose Demon. Perfect for fans of Michael Jecks and Robin Hobb. Matthias Fitzosbert is the illegitimate son of the parish priest of the village of Sutton Courteny. Despite the recent spate of murders, each day he braves the dark woods to visit his friend, a mysterious hermit who shows him many strange and beautiful things. Though enthralled, the boy is always puzzled by his lessons with the hermit - never more so than the night the villagers hunt the hermit down, and burn him, believing him to be responsible for the many deaths. The Rose Demon explores Matthias's unique relationship with a spirit he strives to placate but ultimately flees from. His story is played out against the vivid panorama of medieval life; the fall and sack of Constantinople, the turbulent Wars of the Roses, the terror of witchcraft, the battlefields of Spain and finally the lush jungles of the Caribbean where the Rose Demon and Matthias have one final, dramatic confrontation. What readers are saying about Paul Doherty: 'Doherty weaves his spell on his readers bringing medieval England to life' 'A captivating read - I was thrilled' 'Pure brilliance'

Book Description
The Sultan is dying. His three sons are locked in a battle of intrigue and assassination plots, each vying to succeed him and become guardian of the Secret of Secrets. Religious conflicts rock the Kara-ul Empire and civil war looms as the subjugated Idel tribes riot in their slums. An empire can survive civil war, but will it survive the emergence of its secret? Orhan seeks nothing more than to escape his bleak life in the Idel slums. A grave robber, selling artifacts to a heretical Kara-ul noble, he discovers a tomb and steals a book from a sleeping God's warm fingers. He is followed by a feminine voice with a lavender scent who says his blood isn't pure enough to be the Rose. But Orhan is already on The Path of the Rose: a course of learning followed by ancient Idel kings. Amidst a corrupt society that has forgotten the hallowed ideals of its past, he begins to understand the potency of a people yearning to be loosed from their bondage. He struggles to come to terms with the role he represents, the power he is gaining, and the growing realization he may be more than the Secret of Secrets. Path of the Rose is the first novel in the Golden Dawn series.

Book Description
Kay Kenyon, noted for her science fiction world-building, has in this new series created her most vivid and compelling society, the Universe Entire. In a land-locked galaxy that tunnels through our own, the Entire is a bizarre and seductive mix of long-lived quasi-human and alien beings gathered under a sky of fire, called the bright. A land of wonders, the Entire is sustained by monumental storm walls and an exotic, never-ending river. Over all, the elegant and cruel Tarig rule supreme. Into this rich milieu is thrust Titus Quinn, former star pilot, bereft of his beloved wife and daughter who are assumed dead by everyone on earth except Quinn. Believing them trapped in a parallel universe—one where he himself may have been imprisoned—he returns to the Entire without resources, language, or his memories of that former life. He is assisted by Anzi, a woman of the Chalin people, a Chinese culture copied from our own universe and transformed by the kingdom of the bright. Learning of his daughter’s dreadful slavery, Quinn swears to free her. To do so, he must cross the unimaginable distances of the Entire in disguise, for the Tarig are lying in wait for him. As Quinn’s memories return, he discovers why. Quinn’s goal is to penetrate the exotic culture of the Entire—to the heart of Tarig power, the fabulous city of the Ascendancy, to steal the key to his family’s redemption. But will his daughter and wife welcome rescue? Ten years of brutality have forced compromises on everyone. What Quinn will learn to his dismay is what his own choices were, long ago, in the Universe Entire. He will also discover why a fearful multiverse destiny is converging on him and what he must sacrifice to oppose the coming storm. This is high-concept SF written on the scale of Philip Jose Farmer’s Riverworld, Roger Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles, and Dan Simmons’s Hyperion.

Sin is self-disesteem; it eats away at self-esteem which however can never be completely lost. The pull to God is ingrained in our fundamental belief in life. The pull away from God is self-doubt which escalates into irrational self-destruction.Jesus was a man without sin, uncankered by self-esteem, liberated for people, for a new eschatological humanity - the Jesus of the New Testament. He awakened in his followers a recognition of the origin and purpose of existence that transformed the world into the kingdom of God.
