In August 1862, after decades of broken treaties, increasing hardship, and relentless encroachment on their lands, a group of Dakota warriors convened a council at the tepee of their leader, Little Crow. Knowing the strength and resilience of the young American nation, Little Crow counseled caution, but anger won the day. Forced to either lead his warriors in a war he knew they could not win or leave them to their fates, he declared, "[Little Crow] is not a coward: he will die with you." So began six weeks of intense conflict along the Minnesota frontier as the Dakotas clashed with settlers and federal troops, all the while searching for allies in their struggle. Once the uprising was smashed and the Dakotas captured, a military commission was convened, which quickly found more than three hundred Indians guilty of murder. President Lincoln, embroiled in the most devastating period of the Civil War, personally intervened in order to spare the lives of 265 of the... Views: 21

This is Princess Mercedes’s story… While journeying home from Scotland, Princess Mercedes of Alden’s coach is set upon and her personal guard killed. Barely escaping with her life, she seeks help at a nearby inn. But with no money and looking little better than a beggar, the townsfolk think her claims of being a princess to be nothing more than a far-fetched tale.

At an inn he is confronted by a bedraggled young woman claiming to be of royal blood. Daniel doesn’t believe her wild tale, but when she asks for his protection, he agrees to serve as her bodyguard—in turn she promises to reward him handsomely once they reach London.

Product DescriptionHer boss is a fairy, her ex-lover is a Knight Templar, and she spends her days fighting the demons that plague London's streets. But what's really complicating Aisling McKay's life is being a single mother to a nine-month-old baby girl.Ever since the End Times, magic has been leaking into our world. Magic and demons, shadowy beings that possess humans' bodies and destroy their souls. The Monastic Order of the Knights Templar have revealed themselves to the world as guardians and defenders of the veil between the demon world and ours. But the Templar Order is growing weaker, and the veil is starting to shred and tear. Often all that stands between humans and complete demonic possession are professional demon fighters, Hunters like Aisling McKay.Aisling already has enough to handle between her day job, her (very unplanned) baby daughter, Willow--and avoiding Kieran, Willow's father and a Templar Knight. But now a new danger is abroad in London--and facing it will set Aisling on a collision course with the past she thought she'd escaped for good.Demon Hunter and Baby is approximately 98,000 words long and is appropriate for all ages. It is the first of a planned series that will send Aisling on a desperate search back into her own past ... and will lead her to long-buried truths that will shake the foundations of everything she believes. Truths that have the potential either to save or to utterly destroy the human world. About the AuthorThe daughter of two English literature PhDs, Anna Elliott grew up in Connecticut in a house filled with books. She does not actually have any experience with demon fighting, but she does have two little girls. And while in college, she spent some time living almost exactly where her heroine Aisling McKay does in the South London district of New Cross. While there, Anna fell in love with everything about the city of London, learned to distinguish "chips" from "crisps," and was whistled at on a daily basis by the workers in the same meat packing plant that Aisling McKay walks past on her way to the train station. Anna now lives with her husband and daughters near Washington, D.C. Views: 21

But no one is sure whether the Straker Tapes are a work of fiction or an eerie peek into an unimaginable past.Nearly sixteen-year-old Peter Vincent has been raised to believe that everything that the backward Strakerites cling to is insane--an utter waste of time and potential. Since his father is David Vincent, genius inventor of the artificial beesthat saved the world'scrops and prevented massive famine, how could Peter believe anything else?But when Peter meets Alpha, a Strakerite his own age, suddenly the theories about society-upgrades don't sound quite so...
