Book Description
BOOK I: Tamsen Fairchild's wardship by the Sleeping God sect means he can never immerse himself in the music he loves except by sneaking off to the woods to imitate bird songs on his homemade whistle. When he is chosen to go with his Patriarch to visit a sect in the city of Savia, he runs off to explore. He is drawn by the most beautiful music he has ever heard coming from a tavern, where a man plays a strange instrument. Enthralled, Tam closes his eyes and tries to imitate the tones on his whistle. When the music stops, he looks up into the eyes of Jon the Minstrel, who insists that Tam has a Bardic Gift and must be trained at the Magika school. He asks a Windrider friend to fly Tam there on kirback. Tam's excitement is more than he can bear. Not only will he learn to produce the music in his heart, but he will fly there on a magical winged beast! His world is expanding beyond his wildest hope. Little does he realize how very large that world will be.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
"A continuation of Branwen's story in Between Two Fires, Dark Winds Rising combines elements of mystery and romance with author Mark Noce's gift for storytelling. Queen Branwen finds her world once again turned upside down as Pictish raiders harry the shores of her kingdom. Rallying her people once more, she must face her most dangerous foe yet, the Queen of the Picts. Ruthless and cunning, the Pictish Queen turns the Welsh against each other in a bloody civil war, and Branwen must attempt to stop her before her country threatens to tear itself apart. All the while Branwen is heavy with child, and finds her young son's footsteps dogged by a mysterious assassin. Branwen must somehow defeat the Picts and save her people before the Pictish Queen and a mysterious assassin threaten to destroy their lives from the inside out. Set in a time and era in which very little reliable written records or archeological remains have survived, Mark Noce bases his novel on primary sources such as St. Gildas (a Welsh cleric of the era), mythology from the Welsh Mabinogion, and Arthurian literature. Although the characters and some of the place names are fictional, the physical environment, the historical details, and the saga of the Welsh people is real"--

Pages : 446
Book Description
African Americans have a long history of active involvement and interest in international affairs, but their efforts have been largely ignored by scholars of American foreign policy. Gayle Plummer brings a new perspective to the study of twentieth-century American history with her analysis of black Americans' engagement with international issues, from the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 through the wave of African independence movements of the early 1960s. Plummer first examines how collective definitions of ethnic identity, race, and racism have influenced African American views on foreign affairs. She then probes specific developments in the international arena that galvanized the black community, including the rise of fascism, World War II, the emergence of human rights as a factor in international law, the Cold War, and the American civil rights movement, which had important foreign policy implications. However, she demonstrates that not all African Americans held the same views on particular issues and that a variety of considerations helped shape foreign affairs agendas within the black community just as in American society at large.
