Book Description
A vampire princess with a death wish… As the daughter of the King of Assassins, Adina knows better than to trust anyone, especially family. When her grandfather, Sujani, summons her from exile, he gives her two choices: remain an outcast and on the run from her own murderous father, or play the pawn and apprentice to the most powerful vampire in the world. But to train with him, Adina must agree to coexist with her sworn enemy, Sir Elrich, the general who helped slaughter her village. A dark knight with a dangerous secret… Sir Elrich fears the other vampires will discover his greatest shame: as a human, he ordered the invasion that massacred Adina’s beloved city… and family. Held captive by his own regrets, he longs for absolution from the woman he tried to save on that fateful night nearly a century ago. If Adina finds out who he really is, she’ll introduce him to Final Death without a second thought. A race on the verge of extinction… Trapped in a deadly chess match between her vengeful father and cunning grandfather, Adina must decide if she can trust Elrich, not only with her life, but with her heart. And the longer Adina spends with him, the more she realizes that he's not the monster she thought him to be. If the knight has his way, they’ll all escape with their unlives. But if her grandfather can’t harness her magical life force in time to balance the deific energy he seeks to resurrect, it will result in a cataclysmic extermination of the entire vampire race. Castle of Blood and Secrets is a thrilling paranormal fantasy exploring found family, morally gray characters and forgiveness.

Castles
Author: Rosie Serdiville
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1612006140
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The authors of Knights: Chivalry and Violence let readers inside the walls of the medieval period’s most iconic structure. In ancient and medieval times, the castle was the ultimate symbol of power, dominating its surroundings and marking the landscape with its imposing size and impregnable design. This concise and entertaining short history explores the life of the castle, one that often involved warfare and sieges. The castle was a first and foremost a fortress, the focus of numerous clashes which took place in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Castles became targets of sieges—such as that organized by Prince Louis of France against Dover Castle in 1216—and were forced to adopt greater defensive measures. Also explored is the evolution of castles from motte-and-bailey to stone keeps in the face of newly developed siege machines and trebuchets. The trebuchet named Warwolf, which Edward I had assembled for his siege of Scotland’s Stirling Castle, reportedly took three months to construct and was almost four hundred feet tall on completion. With features such as “murder holes” for throwing boiling oil at the attackers, the defenders in the castle fought back in earnest. Alongside such violence, the castle functioned as a residence for the nobles and their servants, often totaling several hundred in number. It was the location for extravagant banquets held in the great hall by the lord and lady, and the place where the lord carried out his administrative duties, such as overseeing laws and collecting taxes.
