Daughter of the Forest
Author: Juliet Marillier
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429913460
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

FROM THE LAND BEYOND THE FOREST
Author: John Irtel
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456806580
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
He has recounted to friends and acquaintances some episodes of his many adventures through life, and his listeners have always found them interesting, fascinating, entertaining, and worth telling. This dawned the momentous chronicling of this part memoir, part historical account of his life, his country, and his journey. In this newly published book, From the Land Beyond the Forest, author John Irtel shares from whence he came, to his escape and survival, to his arrival and new life on a new land, and more. Divided into two sections, the first part of this book briefly deals with the history of the land and the Saxon people of Transylvania, including some traditions and customs, which were part of the author when he was young. The history of Transylvania is rich and long and would require much research to do it justice. The highlights pertaining to his own life include the aftermath of the Second World War, his escape from Romania in 1947, and his life as a refugee in Austria and Italy. The second part of this book deals with the period from his departure from Europe to Australia as a nineteen-year-old immigrant, which posed as the biggest and most important challenge in his life. However, the curious fascination he developed for his new country and its people enabled him to adjust and assimilate into the community more easily than many others have done. “I have seen more than seventy years of life passing by, from childhood to old age. I have seen many changes, enjoyed happiness and endured pain. I can truly say that life has been an interesting challenge,” shares Irtel. Author shares his country’s history, his past, his new home, and his life in this memoir.
