Book Description
The legendary myths of Ancient Greece and Arthurian Britain are brought together in the search for a prized relic of limitless power born from the love and grief of the goddess Pallas Athena herself. The descendants of the Sacred Band of Thebes – one hundred and fifty male lovers and the bravest of warriors - have sworn an oath to defend the relic and protect it from falling into the wrong hands...an honour shared by Six of the direct descendants of King Arthur's Round Table of Knights. Challenge comes from the Knights' own former brethren, the Six that believe in an alternative vision of control and order for the world. Both factions have been at war over the centuries...and now comes the opportunity for each to realise their destinies.

Book Description
The blade of the Thirteenth has risen - cursed and unforgiving. The tale of the most dutiful Sir Percival, the Right Hand Knight of King Arthur, surges back to life in the unassuming Spanish city of Manresa - fabled location of Castle Corbenic and the venerable Fisher King. The city and its people appear unharmed by the ill fortunes that plagued the world at the hands of Niobid Damasichthon, but the source of its protection raises fears amongst the Sacred Band and those descendants of the Round Table. A delve into history and the swell of the Iberian Empire at the hands of Morgan le Fay through her control of the Palladium and Necklace of Harmonia unlocks secrets behind the rise and fall of the infamous Armada and subsequent dawning of the Elizabethan Golden Age - all not being as it seems when compared to the familiar forging of empires over the many centuries. A poisonous legacy endures, a legacy potentially unmatched by even the most formidable of relics, Excalibur.

Book Description
The fires of war begin to burn again in Germany as the Third Reich look to forge an empire the likes the world has never seen. Lady Morgan Worthington and the Knights of the White Dragon arrive to assist the Nazi Regime with the power of the Palladium as they have done for centuries, only this time finding the ultimate despot who will seemingly stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Their rivals, the Knights of the Red Dragon, led by British Government Official Todd Allen, born of the Sir Galahad bloodline and Camille Rochelle, a French Resistance soldier born of the Sir Gawain bloodline, must challenge the surge of hate spreading across Europe...but a vital ally in World War I veteran Ben Benson of the Sir Bedivere bloodline faces a more personal challenge of his own. The Sacred Band of one-hundred and fifty male lovers fight to prevent the Palladium and cursed Necklace of Harmonia once again reigning terror upon the innocents caught in their infinite cycle of destruction, the oath their ancestors swore upon in Ancient Thebes. But with so many of their kind targeted by ruthless schemes of persecution, the allies to the Red Dragon wear thin. Adam Drobinski, a Polish fighter pilot and Concentration Camp escapee flees to the safety of Britain and discovers what he long considered a weakness in his sexuality to be his greatest strength in desperate times. Through the secret workings of Bletchley Park and cryptographers united in stalling the Nazi advance, messages are received relating to another precious relic, not of the infamous Trinity, that might just be fuelling the Third Reich's success.

Discovering the End of Time
Author: Donald Harman Akenson
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773598502
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
Apocalyptic millennialism is embraced by the most powerful strands of evangelical Christianity. The followers of these groups believe in the physical return of Jesus to Earth in the Second Coming, the affirmation of a Rapture, a millennium of peace under the rule of Jesus and his saints, and, at last, final judgment and deep eternity. In Discovering the End of Time, Donald Akenson traces the primary vector of apocalyptic millennialism to southern Ireland in the 1820s and ’30s. Surprisingly, these apocalyptic concepts – which many scholars associate with the poor, the ill-educated, and the desperate – were articulated most forcefully by a rich, well-educated coterie of Irish Protestants. Drawing a striking portrait of John Nelson Darby, the major figure in the evolution of evangelical dispensationalism, Akenson demonstrates Darby’s formative influence on ideas that later came to have a foundational impact on American evangelicalism in general and on Christian fundamentalism in particular. Careful to emphasize that recognizing the origins of apocalyptic millennialism in no way implies a judgment on the validity of its constructs, Akenson draws on a deep knowledge of early nineteenth-century history and theology to deliver a powerful history of an Irish religious elite and a major intersection in the evolution of modern Christianity. Opening the door into an Ireland that was hiding in plain sight, Discovering the End of Time tells a remarkable story, at once erudite, conversational, and humorous, and characterized by an impressive range and depth of research.
