""We were fighting a typical religious war until the goat-men arrived."" For eight years war raged between the armies of King Traden of Garmundland, convert to the Church of the Holy Family, and those united with the Holy Church of Nasir, the one true god. Victory was in the Nasirians' grasp as they lay siege to the pagan city of Silverwic. The cannon were in place to begin the final assault. That's when the Sarbarah, a race of slavers, entered the war. The "goat-men," who once enslaved the human race for thousands of years, threatened to reconquer the lands they had lost. "A Curse upon the Saints" tells the story of a bitter religious conflict from perspectives of characters on both sides. Renwick, a corrupt cardinal whose ambitions lead him to forge an alliance with the Sarbarah. Nurik, Renwick's protege, forced to choose between loyalty to his mentor and the greater good. Marisol, a young Nasirian priestess whose faith is unravelled when she learns of the scope of her church's corruption. Frederich, a solicitor and amateur musician enslaved by the Sarbarah, who must use his wits to survive long enough to escape. Leoda, Frederich's wife and priestess of the Holy Family, whose use of magic indentures her to the service of a cruel prince. Can the faithful of both religions not only make peace, but also unite in the face of this new threat to humanity?"

AS THE REALM TEETERS ON THE EDGE OF CATASTROPHIC WAR, WILL SHE BE THEIR SAVIOR OR DESTROYER? WILL HE BE HERO OR VILLAIN? WHEN FACED WITH WORLD-BREAKING FORCES, WHO WILL THEY BECOME? As an elite spy and the Queen's Third-in-Command, Aya has dedicated herself to a life of discipline and duty, using her gods-given abilities to keep dark magic from ever returning to the realm. Her oath ensures she will always act to protect those she fights alongside—including Will, the Queen's Enforcer and Aya's bitter rival. Forced by circumstance to work together, Aya and Will struggle to come to an uneasy truce. But when tragedy strikes, Aya instinctively reacts, unleashing a power that hasn't been seen in over 500 years. Shaken, she's confronted with an impossible truth: one that threatens the precious grip she keeps on her control. One that forces her to work with Will to discover who—or what—she really is. And one that could turn her into a weapon in a war she doesn't know how to win. With Will at her side and untold power at her fingertips, Aya will have to decide: Has she been sent to save the realm she loves...or destroy it? The Curse of Saints is the first installment in the stunning romantic fantasy series, The Curse of Saints.

A new generation of historians today is borrowing from cultural anthropology, post-modern critical theory, and gender studies to understand the social meanings of medieval religious movements, practices, figures, and cults. In this volume Sharon Farmer and Barbara H. Rosenwein bring together essays--all hitherto unpublished--that combine some of the best of these new approaches with rigorous research and traditional scholarship. Some of these essays re-envision the professionals of religion: the monks and nuns who carried out crucial social functions as mediators between living and dead, repositories for social memory, and loci of vicarious piety. In their religious life these people embodied an image of the society that produced them. Other contributions focus on social categories, usually expressed as dichotomies: male/female, insider/outsider, saint/outcast. Monks and Nuns, Saints and Outcasts is the first book to show the interaction of seemingly antithetical groups of medieval people and the ways in which they were defined by, as well as against, each other. All of the essays, taken together, form a tribute to Lester K. Little, pioneer in the study of religion in medieval society.

From the inception of slavery as a pillar of the Atlantic World economy, both Europeans and Africans feared their mass extermination by the other in a race war. In the United States, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart the aims of Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy. And yet, says Lewis, the historiography of slavery is all but silent on extermination as a category of analysis. Moreover, little of the existing sparse scholarship interrogates the black perspective on extermination. A Curse upon the Nation addresses both of these issues. To explain how this belief in an impending race war shaped eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American politics, culture, and commerce, Lewis examines a wide range of texts including letters, newspapers, pamphlets, travel accounts, slave narratives, government documents, and abolitionist tracts. She foregrounds her readings in the long record of exterminatory warfare in Europe and its colonies, placing lopsided reprisals against African slave revolts—or even rumors of revolts—in a continuum with past brutal incursions against the Irish, Scots, Native Americans, and other groups out of favor with the empire. Lewis also shows how extermination became entwined with ideas about race and freedom from early in the process of enslavement, making survival an important form of resistance for African peoples in America. For African Americans, enslaved and free, the potential for one-sided violence was always present and deeply traumatic. This groundbreaking study reevaluates how extermination shaped black understanding of the Atlantic slave trade and the political, social, and economic worlds in which it thrived.

In the true spirit of Irish storytelling, Leigh Ebberwein weaves an uplifting and powerful tale of the cross-generational impact of reckless choices, the redeeming power of love, and the unbreakable bond of family. Smart and sassy Kathleen Kenny has never ventured far from the protective cocoon of her large, close-knit family and her crazy "tribe" of forever girlfriends. When rich and hunky Jack Murray, an ex-football hero and successful lawyer, pops the question, her perfect (and safe) life in Savannah seems assured. Voices from the past are changing the course of Kathleen's future. But Kathleen's secret inner life beckons her to Ireland to search for answers to her puzzling dreams. Only weeks before the big day, Kathleen announces her plans for a six-week trip to Knock, County Mayo. A confused and furious Jack issues an ultimatum. Is the wedding off? Ireland steals her heart.

Handsome Quinn McMillon has recently inherited his father's farm but isn't quite ready to settle down. In denial of the sparks sizzling between them, Kathleen and Quinn fan the sparks by embarking on a three-week European adventure. Decades later, this trip will dramatically impact two families, an ocean apart, and the townsfolk of Knock in unimaginable ways. Become part of the adventure. Experience the beauty of Savannah, the charm of Ireland, and the shenanigans of a host of unforgettable characters with a feel-good story that's full of surprises until the very last page.
