![]() His face is hard and masculine, each feature perfectly symmetrical. He’s probably the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. He’s sitting on the other side of the bar, about ten feet away. Straight into a pair of piercing blue eyes. When I’m done, I put down the glass and look up. He gives it to me, and I greedily gulp it down. On my way back, I ask the bartender for a glass of water. The author neither endorses nor condones this type of behavior. This is a work of fiction intended for a mature, 18+ audience only. It contains disturbing subject matter, including themes of questionable consent and Stockholm Syndrome, as well as graphic sexual content. ![]() WARNING: This is NOT a traditional romance. My name is Nora Leston, and this is my story. There is a darkness inside him – a darkness that scares me even as it draws me in. I don’t know who he is or why he took me. A man whose tenderness I find more devastating than his cruelty. To a man who is as ruthless as he is beautiful – a man whose touch makes me burn. I never imagined one chance meeting on the eve of my eighteenth birthday could change my life so completely. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fascinating and enlightening story. The story they tell moves from before and during the lifetime of Mohammed, through a succession of far-flung empires, to the interaction with European colonialism and the revolt against European domination, to the modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9/11 and the current struggles within Islam. They clarify how these two great civilizations grew up oblivious to each other, what happened when they intersected, and how the Islamic world was ultimately affected by its slow recognition that Europe -a place it long properly perceived as primitive- had somehow hijacked its destiny. The authors introduce the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history from an Islamic perspective. The authors of our two core books: Destiny Disrupted, and No god but God, capture in colorful, understandable, and very readable language the rich story of world history from the perspective of the Muslim community. ![]() To many of us the history of Muslim civilization was peripheral to world history. We also learned how Islamic civilization preserved science and art in the Dark Ages, but not much else. Muslim success or failure was defined by their clashes with the outposts of Christian civilization, but only as these conflicts influenced European history. Most of our generation learned of the history of civilization from the perspective of “Western civilization”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ![]() I received this book for free from Meghan March in exchange for an honest review.

Series: Forge Trilogy Reviews Review: Heart of the Devil by Meghan March ![]() ![]() ![]() Arkanar is “a twilit, ignorant country, mired in a bloody quagmire of avarice and conspiracy.” But it is also a land of gentry, spies, shopkeepers, courtiers, craftsmen, bandits, barons, aristocrats-and a few men of intellect and creativity, who are regularly abused by the fiercely anti-intellectual aristocracy. He is also a decent man who increasingly finds the primary dictate of his profession, this “scientifically justified inaction,” in conflict with his moral integrity.ĭon Rumata’s struggle takes place against the backdrop of a thrilling adventure story worthy of Alexandre Dumas. By profession, he is a historian, sent to Arkanar by the future Earth’s Institute of Experimental History to observe the development of its medieval society-but not to interfere. To the people of Arkanar, he appears to be an aristocrat, a rapscallion, and an “empty-headed ladies’ man.” But this is merely a role. ![]() ![]() ISBN 9781612192819ĭon Rumata of Estoria is a man of many parts.

I normally do not post reviews this early before release date, but because I am very short on reviews, I’ve decided to post my review of Hidden Pieces by Paula Stokes already. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here, for instance, is Kat Astley, the royal governess, back in focus as a kind, gossipy woman who, after Henry dies, smilingly allows the pubescent princess to get far too intimate with Catherine Parr's new husband, in the process landing them all in very hot water. On the plus side we get to hear all those bits of Elizabeth's life half-remembered from school history, or at least from the novels of Jean Plaidy. Tracy Borman's decision to explore the distaff side of the late Tudor court results in an account with exactly the sort of strengths and weaknesses you might imagine. ![]() Step forward, then, all those sisters, cousins, aunts, not to mention ladies-in-waiting and gentlewomen of the chamber, who have tended to disappear from popular accounts of Elizabeth's reign. ![]() Yet a moment's reflection suggests that the women fleetingly glimpsed in the background of our national soap opera, helping her majesty dress or delivering secret messages at dead of night, must logically have spent more time with the queen than Sir Walter Ralegh or William Cecil ever did. ![]() The Virgin Queen, whether played by Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren or even Glenda Jackson, has mostly been shown as an honorary man, consorting with dukes, bishops and salty old sea dogs. Y ou can understand the rationale behind a book on Queen Elizabeth I and the women in her life. ![]() ![]() But they are low on resources and allies alike, and the kingdom teems with fear of the Lion of the Night’s return.Īs the zumra plots to overthrow Arawiya’s darkest threat, Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood. ![]() Altair may be captive, but Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are bound for Sultan’s Keep, determined to finish the plan Altair set in motion: restoring the hearts of the Sisters of Old to the minarets of each caliphate, finally bringing magic to all of Arawiya.
