The Powershaper Omnibus: Books 1-3


Robert Don Hughes - 2016
     Including: The Prophet of Lamath For centuries, a two-headed dragon has laid dormant at Dragonsgate. Its two heads, Vicia and Heinox, fought perennially for control of its gargantuan body. But now, it has taken to the air. Vicia-Heinox has burned villages at random all across the Three Lands, venting rage and confusion. It was all the fault of Pelmen the player, the powershaper – now the Prophet of the Power. But Pelmen is helpless, locked in the King’s dungeon, waiting to be executed on the drawing blocks. Should he escape, the prophecy of the Priestess has foretold an even more terrifying fate at the mouths of the vicious dragon… The Wizard in Waiting A new power is stirring… The Imperial House of Chaomonous was awake again. For a thousand years, while the two-headed dragon barred magic from the Golden Kingdom, the castle had slept. But now the dragon is dead, and the castle has awoken… The throne has been usurped by Queen Ligne, while the rightful heir, Princess Bronwynn, has been locked in the dungeons. And now — to make matters worse — brutal slaver Admon Faye has invaded its lower depths. The realm of Lamath is in great tumult. But where is the powershaper, the wizard of ancient magic who could understand its warnings? The Power and the Prophet The beast is beginning its descent… Pelmen the Powershaper is over his head in trouble. Trouble is nothing new to him, but this time it may prove too much. Ngandib-Mar, seat of the Power Pelmen obeyed, is on the brink of a bitter internal war, and Chaomonous again threatens to invade. It seems that some dark Nemesis is dogging Pelmen’s footsteps, and there is nothing he can do about it… Except to stand and fight.

I, Claudia: A Novel of the Ancient World


Lin Wilder - 2018
    Now, at age seventy-nine, she feels compelled to leave behind her story for the world and set the record straight about the beginnings of modern history.He has had his arms raised for how many hours now? Shouldn't there be a Joshua to help this Moses? I suppressed a smile at my wittiness, knowing better than to voice the thought aloud. My ladies would be shocked by my allusion to the great Jewish prophet. Well aware of my reputation as an empty-headed nitwit among those who served my husband, such low expectations had served me well. Best to maintain the fiction.In a surprising change of genre and style, Wilder brings her extensive research and wide-ranging imagination  to bear on the seminal story of our time: the passion of the Christ. The result is a compelling and harrowing love story replete with historical figures such as Seneca, Socrates, and Pilate himself. It is sure to captivate both believers and skeptics alike, and remain in readers' minds long after the last page is turned.

Thief Catcher


John Drake - 2016
     When an incriminating etched print is made and circulated in a book by the Lycanthropic Society, renowned thief-catcher Samuel Slym from Aldgate is put on the case to find those responsible and retrieve all existing prints before Prinny is subjected to public humiliation. Meanwhile across the Channel and revered by the French military, General Napoleon Bonaparte is waiting for a chance to invade England, and his fleet is ready to strike and land. Using the latest technology, the telegraph signal, there is a new opportunity to hatch a plan to conquer England at last and he employs sinister spies, among them the charming, but cold-blooded Sukolowsky. Bonaparte is not the only one with an eye for conquest. Lord Glenfeshie, survivor of the Battle of Culloden, leads the aged Highlanders and Jacobites, waiting for a chance to seize back power for the pretender, James Charles Stuart, son of Bonnie Prince Charlie. They plot in secret, waiting to take advantage of the weak king and political instability in London under Pitt’s government. Followers of the old Highlanders will stop at nothing to reinstate a Catholic as king. As Samuel Slym follows up his leads to track down Prinny’s print he uncovers far more than he expected at the start of his commission, and his quest unwittingly leads him higher in society than he believed possible, as well as rekindling an old fiery liaison with the mysterious Lady Sarah Coignwood. Can Slym get to the bottom of the plot to bring scandal to the Prince before it is too late? And will Napoleon succeed in his plan to conquer the ‘Rosbif Navy’? Charging headlong from the murky backstreets of London to the country palaces of English aristocracy and finally the outposts of Kent, Drake’s novel spins a gripping yarn of deception and scandal, patriotism and pride, bringing to life legendary characters of the 18th century, as well as some less well known to the annals of English history… For those who loved Sam Slym you can catch a further glimpse of him in John Drake's bestselling Fletcher's Glorious 1st June where he begins his doomed relationship with Lady Sarah Coignwood. Praise for John Drake’s Fletcher series "Swashbuckling adventure on the high seas doesn't get much better than this.
