A Swordmaiden's hand is not easily won Theseus, king of the Court of Knowledge, is desperate. With the barrier to the Realm of Monsters wearing thin and the chaos of Midsummer Night approaching, he needs to do something drastic to save his Court. If he doesn't secure warriors to protect his Court from the monsters, his people, the Great Library, and all the knowledge of the Fae Realm that it contains could be destroyed. That leaves him with the choice to either bargain with another Court and hope the price isn't too steep or face deadly trials to win the hand of Queen Hippolyta of the Court of Swordmaidens, a court of mysterious warrior women. Marriage seems like the better option, but the trials prove to be trickier than Theseus feared. Even worse, he finds himself drawn to Ariadne, the serving maid, instead of the cold-hearted Queen Hippolyta. Will he have to choose between his heart and saving his Court?

The second novel in the "Age of the Kingdom" series begins where Quest for a King left off.

How can the young nation survive the forces of jealousy and violence that threaten to rip it apart?God's curse still hangs over the house of Eli.

History repeats itself when again a single young priest survives. Saul is intent on killing David, the primary threat to his dynasty. In desperation, David and his band of 600 men and their families flee from one hiding place to another, then finally to the haven of Philistine Gath, of all places. Achish, king of Gath, is just as taken with David as anyone and so is blind to David's divided loyalties. How will David and his men avoid fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the Philistines against the army of Israel?Faced with another Philistine war, Saul is desperate to hear from the Lord, but Samuel is dead, so he seeks out a witch he once tried to kill.

The conventional portrayal of prehistoric gender roles has long depicted men as hunters and women as gatherers, perpetuating the notion that women played a passive role in early human societies. However, recent research and archaeological findings have challenged this narrative, revealing a more complex and nuanced understanding of prehistoric gender roles, women played an active role in hunting, and their biology meant that they were capable of long hours of wearing down an animal. "The Ancient Huntress" delves into this captivating exploration of prehistoric societies, with a keen focus on the often overlooked role of women in these ancient civilizations. This book seeks to unravel the intricacies of gender dynamics by shedding light on the lives of the ancient huntresses-women who defied conventional norms and played active, pivotal roles in their communities.

Rome, 58 AD.¿ ¿ The dinner party didn't turn out the way Aemilius Valerius expected. He didn't expect a place at the main table. He didn't expect to drink that much. He didn't expect to hook up with one of the scarier dancers. And he most certainly didn't expect to trip over the bloody corpse of his host on the floor of the informal dining room.¿ ¿ One man's grisly murder is another man's opportunity. Valerius teams up with the investigator, a plebeian with a chip on his shoulder, to discover the killer. Mad Uncle Maro promised it would be a smart career move, but that was before a second senator turned up dead. Now everything points towards a corrupt legion, an imperial assassin, and the emperor's mother. It might have been smarter to accept that honorary priesthood, stupid hat or not.¿

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll untersuchen, wie die Beziehungen zwischen Römern und Persern, persischen Christen und dem persischen König waren und welche Rolle Bischöfe darin gespielt haben. Ein detaillierter Fokus wird hier vor allem auf den persischen Großkönig Yazdegerd I. gelegt. Um dieses Geflecht der unterschiedlichen Religionen, Menschen und Würdenträgern in den beiden Reichen zu entschlüsseln, soll zuerst eine Übersicht über die Geschichte des vierten Jahrhunderts und die Beziehungen zwischen Römischem Reich und Persischem Reich gegeben werden. Anschließend erfolgt die genauere Betrachtung König Yazdegerds. Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf der Beziehung zwischen Römern und Persern und der Stellung der Christen während seiner Regentschaft. Anschließend soll die Bedeutung der Christen für Yazdegerd analysiert werden und mit einem Ausblick auf die Zeit nach Yazdegerds soll untersucht werden, wie sich deren Stellung veränderte. Am Schluss soll ein Fazit gezogen werden.

Anticipating some Soviet Union developments, Evgenii Zamyatsin's We (1920) is a futuristic dystopic novel in which D-503, builder of the first rocket ship, extols the glories of the Single State and discovers another way of life beyond his highly controlled society. From the newer field of biopoetics, which applies evolutionary psychology to art instead of emphasizing the social construction of human behavior and consciousness, Cooke (Texas A&M U.) explores themes in the novel including workforce mechanization, the symbolic roles of food-sharing, eugenics, and writing as subversion. Comparisons are made with other dystopian literature (e.g. Brave New World ), and novels by Russian authors including Solzhenitsyn and Tolstoy.
