Book Description
THE END of the summer before, Annette Sotherby, daughter of one of the wealthy summer people on Netaquid Island has been kidnapped under mysterious circumstances and returned under even stranger circumstances. The Netaquidders, who earned a scant livelihood from the sea and from working for the summer people, spent days looking for Annette. Yet once she had been returned, there had been no word of thanks. Instead, the cottagers seemed determined to ignore the islanders. But that changed when Mr. and Mrs. Truell both had to leave and there was no one to care for Sammy Truell, except the Collettis, the old Italian couple who could not keep up with an active four year old. So Molly Bassett was hired. And it was not long before she began to learn just why things were so tight for islanders. The Kidnapping had had strange consequences she was not supposed to talk about, and the islanders were implicated. It was up to Molly not only to discover the truth of what had happened the year before, but ultimately to solve a brand new and even more disastrous kidnapping in order to bring the islanders once more into favor with the summer people and give them a chance to earn the money they so desperately needed.

Sunspear
Author: J. Michael Robertson
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1468579614
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 567
Book Description
A thousand years have passed since the Sunspear, an ancient weapon forged by the Gods, was lost to the sight of men in the last great battle of the Raven Wars. Now, the Dark God again reaches out from the Land of Eternal shadow to touch the world with his evil. The Goddess Danu gives Ciaran, a young Celtae warrior powerful in the Psi, the vast psionic power of the subconscious mind, the quest of finding the Sunspear. If he fails, the Dark God's Long Night will fall over the world forever. The quest leads him ever deeper into the Forbidden Lands, perilous realm of the Shadow, where he is pursued by the Dark God's evil Ring Lords, who also search for the Sunspear. The Ring Lords, however, are not Ciarán's only worry. The Dark God sends one of his First Born, a Shaádhul mind-slayer, into the world to capture him and bring him to the Stone of Tears where he will either accept the Dark God as his Master or be cast into the Well of Souls. As he strives to elude the Shadow Lord's hunters, Ciarán must confront his forbidden love of Danu's tiny priestess, RILLSONG. He is further assailed with guilt over his infatuation with the beautiful Shadow Druidess, ISÉNGÁEL who captures his beloved foster sister KIARA and gives her to the Ring Lords. In the Valley of the Gods, he rescues Iséngáel and her half-Elven Ahati warriors from the deadly, Halfsouled Draugr. Joining forces, they fight their way through hordes of the near-immortal beings to reach the lost city of Gorias where Ciarán claims the Sunspear. Using the ancient weapon's god-like power, he destroys the Ring Lords' army that pursued him to Gorias, killing thousands of warriors, and laughing as their dying screams fill his ears. Only then does he realize that the greatest evil he has to overcome is not the Dark God, but the darkness that dwells within him. He must both learn to use the enormous power of the Sunspear wisely and keep his Darksoul at bay. If it gains control, he will become a creature of shadow, a Soultaken.
