Порядок и вера — империи столп, а Бог, что един, — в ней хранитель основ. Под взором Его благодать укрепится, врагу же никак от Него не укрыться.
Но… хаос не дремлет, в тенях паутину плетет. И скверны отраву посеять готов. Нашел он мишень — небольшой, слабый мир. На Кассию мор этот мерзкий проник. Болеют там люди, в могилу идут. И просят у Бога спасенья от мук.
Похоже, услышал их Бог наконец. Пришел чудотворец. Все, бедам конец. Он всем помогает, народ ему рад. А имя ему — благородный Стефа́н.
И только у церкви есть пара вопросов. Проверить охота им чудотворца. Взаправду ли свет он священный несет? А может, прислужник он темных богов? По следу Стефана отправились двое. Пойдут по стопам и найдут его скоро. А после решенье придется принять: как быть с чудотворцем — любить иль распять?
Похоже, путь долгий ждет клириков двух. В дороге, возможно, кого-то убьют. Но вера и долг им помогут дойти. И все ради цели — чудо найти!

Inexpressible Island

‘Gripping’ The Times ‘Fans of Philippa Gregory and other historical fiction writers will love Anne O’Brien’s A Tapestry of Treason’ Yours Her actions could make history – but at what price? 1399: Constance of York, Lady Despenser, proves herself more than a mere observer in the devious intrigues of her magnificently dysfunctional family, The House of York. Surrounded by power-hungry men, including her aggressively self-centred husband Thomas and ruthless siblings Edward and Richard, Constance places herself at the heart of two treasonous plots against King Henry IV. Will it be possible for this Plantagenet family to safeguard its own political power by restoring either King Richard II to the throne, or the precarious Mortimer claimant? Although the execution of these conspiracies will place them all in jeopardy, Constance is not deterred, even when the cost of her ambition threatens to overwhelm her. Even when it endangers her new-found happiness. With treason, tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal, this is the story of a woman ahead of her time, fighting for herself and what she believes to be right in a world of men.

WHAT MAKES A HERO? WHO BETTER TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION THAN LEE CHILD… ‘It’s Lee Child. Why would you not read it?’ Karin Slaughter ‘I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page’ The Times In his first work of nonfiction, the creator of the multimillion-selling Jack Reacher series explores the endurance of heroes from Achilles to Bond, showing us how this age-old myth is a fundamental part of what makes us human. He demonstrates how hero stories continue to shape our world – arguing that we need them now more than ever. From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling? Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential reading for anyone trying to write or understand fiction. Child teaches us how these stories still shape our minds and behaviour in an increasingly confusing modern world, and with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we get, we’ll always need heroes.
