Book Description
One sword... a whole load of chaos! Part dungeon break, part magical sword heist, "The Blade of Absolution" kicks off "The Volkdrow Chronicles" with a hearty dose of monsters, magic, and mayhem. Set in the monstrous world of Venari, deep in the sprawling city of Red Fern, "The Blade of Absolution" follows Everfrost as she goes in search of adventure and her ever-so-slightly nefarious father. Things don't quite go to plan and, as chaos ensues, she meets Woodrow (a half-orc assassin), Pyggbe (an untrustworthy goblin), and Yelkrie (another untrustworthy goblin... but with a trick or two up her sleeve). Will they work together or will they be at each other's throats? For those familiar with Lou Yardley's Venari tales, this book will introduce you to characters and monsters, old and new. If you're brand new to this world, get comfy and prepare yourself for some epic fiendish fantasy, adventure, monsters, foul-language, odd humour, and a splash of gore.

Book Description
Brenna, Franklin, and Jerm are three normal children in Red Fern. Well… they're as 'normal' as things get in Red Fern. They live in Ickne Noir's Home for Lost Children, but things are not quite as they seem. You see, Ickne Noir's may be a children's home, but it's also the place where neighbouring realms send their young spies and assassins. All the children there are deadly. Apart from Frankin… but you'll find out more about him soon enough. A beautiful song leads them all into the menacing and mysterious Woods of Waiting. That song will set all three towards fates they could never imagine. Dark paths and dangerous things await in the Woods of Waiting. Caution: This fiendish fantasy may contain monsters and swearing. Actually, it absolutely does contain both of those things. Prequel to The Volkdrow Chronicles.

Book Description
A sweeping epic fantasy weaving both destiny and ancient magic in this masterful final novel in the beloved Five Warrior Angels trilogy from Brian Lee Durfee. In the age of belief, magic is a myth. But when an apocalyptic crusade comes to the remote border of Gul Kana, that belief is shattered as is the tenuous peace that held the Five Isles together. Now, the prophecies that were used to justify this war are unravelling revealing a hidden agenda while the world lies in the wake of the degradations of this war. But a slim skein of hope resides within the hidden truths, long kept secret, and scattered throughout the isles—truths less reliant upon prophecy than heroism, and great sacrifice. Not everything is as it seems in this epic, long-awaited conclusion to trilogy which Booklist raved as “high fantasy in the vein of Stephen R. Donaldson or David Eddings, with generous helpings from George R. R. Martin.”

Book Description
Twelve strangers from all walks of life unite by their determination to risk it all to pursue their dreams and uplift their people. While a prophecy preoccupies the two powers that be – a benevolent Empire tangled up in bureaucracy versus the resentful reactionaries festering in the Empire’s shadows – the twelve heroes find themselves embroiled in a fight to overthrow a corrupt Queen and demand democracy for a revolting working class that has had enough!

Book Description
Elkbury is all sixteen-year-old Beatrice Crane has ever known. Raised by her over-protective father, she dreams about leaving the village. When Grub and his fellow soldiers arrive in the Old Dead Oak, it seems like her dreams are about to come true. But dreams in Venari have a deadly habit of turning into nightmares. As she ventures out of Elkbury to journey to the mysterious Everfrost, Beatrice learns about monsters large and small, violence, death, and more than a little about herself. The Queen's Guard have been sent to Everfrost to find out why the settlements in the area keep failing. Why do no survivors ever make it back to Red Fern? The Queen's scholars and the Knights of the Green Fire seem to think there's a werewolf problem. But how do you kill a werewolf? Meanwhile, Father Arcadius has undergone a bit of a change. He's stronger, faster, hungrier, and hairier than ever. Set sixteen years after the events of "Banished", "Everfrost" takes you deeper into the dark fantasy world of Venari. "Everfrost" is part of a small series that introduces the wonderful, if monstrous, world of Venari. The books can be read in any order, but there are little nuggets of fun that will be enjoyed if read chronologically. Books in this series: "Banished" - Book 1 "Everfrost" - Book 2 "Creep" - prequel (can be read at any time)

Book Description
The Visual Culture of Violence after the French Revolution traces four sites of spectatorship that exemplified the visual culture of violence in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, offering a new account of the significance of violent spectacle to the birth of modernity. Considerations of the execution scaffold, salon painting, print culture and the fait divers, and waxworks displays establish the centrality of spectatorial violence to experiences of selfhood in the wake of the French Revolution. Shedding critical light on previously neglected aspects of art and visual culture of the post-Revolutionary period, The Visual Culture of Violence after the French Revolution demonstrates how violent spectacle at this moment was profoundly shaped by shifting social attitudes, contemporary political practices, and rapidly accelerated technological developments. By attending to the formal and historical specificity of violent spectacle after the Revolution, Graybill affirms the historical contingency through which the visual culture of violence in the modern era has emerged. The Visual Culture of Violence after the French Revolution will be broadly relevant to scholars of art, media and visual studies, and particularly to historians of the French Revolution and eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Europe. The book's concern with the representation of violence makes it of interest to scholars working in a variety of fields beyond its historical period, especially in art, literature, history, media and culture studies.

Book Description
Warriors. Tyrants. Gods. She will stand against them all. Book 1: Beasts of the Frozen Sun Burn brightly. Love fiercely. For all else is dust. Every child of Glasnith learns the last words of the god-gifted mortal Aillira, and Lira of clan Stone, a descendant of Aillira with the power to read people’s souls, knows the story better than most. When a golden-haired warrior washes up on the shores of her homeland, Lira helps the wounded man. But as they form a bond forbidden by both their clans, Lira finds herself facing the same tragic fate as her ancestor. Book 2: Kingdom of Ice and Bone Lira of Stone watched her home burn and her clan fall beneath the sword of the warlord known as the Dragon. She believes the man she loves, a warrior who defected from the Dragon’s army, is dead. Alongside her exiled brother and his band of refugees, she will fight the forces that conquered her island. But the greatest danger may come from Lira herself—with the blood of banished gods running through her veins, she’s become a weapon, and no one is safe from the power of her wrath. Book 3: Souls of Fire and Steel To save her lover’s life, Lira of Stone swore allegiance to the Dragon. She’s transformed into his weapon—the Dragon’s death-bringer, using her gifts to conquer nations and unleash demons. Yet part of Lira seeks a way to free herself. In the final installment of the Frozen Sun Saga, Lira and Reyker face off as enemies, confront their worst nightmares, and make their last stand against the Dragon. But can a god be killed? And if so, at what cost?
