Brandon Hale was deployed overseas in 2015. As the days and weeks went by, he had trouble maintaining his bond with his young son. The boy had lost interest in talking on the phone... One day Brandon decided to try something new. This time, when he called home, he told his son a story. A story about Prince Martin. And the boy was enchanted. From then on, when Brandon could call home, his son begged him to tell a Prince Martin story. Upon returning home from deployment, Brandon's wife encouraged him to turn his Prince Martin tales into children's books. The rest is history... Prince Martin Wins His Sword is Book 1 of the Prince Martin Epic. Other books in the series are Prince Martin and the Thieves and Prince Martin and the Dragons.

Praise for Prince Martin Wins His Sword: "Here's a gripping tale to be read over and over-a princely story teaching the values of integrity, courage, and resilience when facing a dangerous fear-a promised favorite in every child's library." - Pam Kanaly, best-selling author of The Single Mom and Her Rollercoaster Emotions "Boyish, archetypal, cross-cultural, and timeless...exactly what young boys love and need." - Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., best-selling author of The Philosophy of Tolkien: The Worldview Behind The Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis for the Third Millennium "Not just for kids but for parents too. Parents will find rekindled within themselves the same delight they discovered at the same age but may have let slip away since." - Karl Keating, best-selling author of High Desert Showdown

Silver, Sword, and Stone
Author: Marie Arana
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501105019
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Winner, American Library Association Booklist’s Top of the List, 2019 Adult Nonfiction Acclaimed writer Marie Arana delivers a cultural history of Latin America and the three driving forces that have shaped the character of the region: exploitation (silver), violence (sword), and religion (stone). “Meticulously researched, [this] book’s greatest strengths are the power of its epic narrative, the beauty of its prose, and its rich portrayals of character…Marvelous” (The Washington Post). Leonor Gonzales lives in a tiny community perched 18,000 feet above sea level in the Andean cordillera of Peru, the highest human habitation on earth. Like her late husband, she works the gold mines much as the Indians were forced to do at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Illiteracy, malnutrition, and disease reign as they did five hundred years ago. And now, just as then, a miner’s survival depends on a vast global market whose fluctuations are controlled in faraway places. Carlos Buergos is a Cuban who fought in the civil war in Angola and now lives in a quiet community outside New Orleans. He was among hundreds of criminals Cuba expelled to the US in 1980. His story echoes the violence that has coursed through the Americas since before Columbus to the crushing savagery of the Spanish Conquest, and from 19th- and 20th-century wars and revolutions to the military crackdowns that convulse Latin America to this day. Xavier Albó is a Jesuit priest from Barcelona who emigrated to Bolivia, where he works among the indigenous people. He considers himself an Indian in head and heart and, for this, is well known in his adopted country. Although his aim is to learn rather than proselytize, he is an inheritor of a checkered past, where priests marched alongside conquistadors, converting the natives to Christianity, often forcibly, in the effort to win the New World. Ever since, the Catholic Church has played a central role in the political life of Latin America—sometimes for good, sometimes not. In this “timely and excellent volume” (NPR) Marie Arana seamlessly weaves these stories with the history of the past millennium to explain three enduring themes that have defined Latin America since pre-Columbian times: the foreign greed for its mineral riches, an ingrained propensity to violence, and the abiding power of religion. Silver, Sword, and Stone combines “learned historical analysis with in-depth reporting and political commentary...[and] an informed and authoritative voice, one that deserves a wide audience” (The New York Times Book Review).

A power struggle between the iron-fisted Khalif and the mysterious master thief known as the Falcon Prince is reaching its climax. In the midst of this brewing rebellion, a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes at the heart of the Kingdoms. Only a handful of reluctant heroes can learn the truth, and stop the killing. Doctor Adoulla Makhslood just wants a quiet cup of tea.

But when an old flame's family is murdered, Adoulla is drawn back to the hunter's path. Raseed bas Raseed, Adoulla's young assistant, a hidebound holy warrior whose prowess is matched only by his piety, is eager to deliver God's justice. Zamia Badawi has been gifted with the near-mythical power of the Lion-Shape, but shunned by her people for daring to take up a man's title. She lives only to avenge her father's death. Until she learns that Adoulla and his allies also hunt her father's killer. Until she meets Raseed.
