‘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. Praise for A Tapestry of Treason ‘O’Brien’s page-turner vividly brings to life the restriction of women, and the compassion and strength of this real-life figure from medieval times’ Woman ‘Anne O’Brien does not disappoint… there are so many twists and turns… If you love Philippa Gregory or Alison Weir, you will love Anne O’Brien too’ My Weekly ‘A wonderful novel… a rich, gripping, enchanting read.

A hist?ria sobre o amor da garota e do ca?ador, sobre divindades e esp?ritos ancestrais. A aten??o da garota foi atra?da pelo ca?ador. Ele cortejava uma jovem vi?va. Jogando uma excelente pele de raposa sobre os ombros, o ca?ador dizia: “Compre, bela, voc? n?o vai se arrepender! Eu mesmo atirei em uma raposa, acertei bem no olho dela, para n?o machucar a pele. Veja como fica bem em voc?. “A vi?va deu olha olhada por um pequeno espelho feito de am?lgama de prata, especialmente utilizado para este tipo de ocasi?o ali na feira.” “Oh! Afinal, eu tenho mesmo cabelos ruivos! E se eu costurar uma coleira de raposa em roupas de inverno, vou parecer uma raposa. Ah, ent?o voc? vai atirar em mim por engano, Lesyar ?!” a jovem vi?va flertou com o ca?ador. Neste momento, a m?e de Ladomira, Miloslava, distraiu-se ao experimentar um colar, e Ladomira resolveu se aproximar do ca?ador. A vi?va pagou a compra enquanto trocava um olhar significativo com o ca?ador. De repente, a garota se sentiu incomodada… Lesyar era extraordinariamente imponente, bonito e forte. “O que voc? quer, Bela?” perguntou ? Ladomira. Ela baixou os olhos: a voz do ca?ador a excitava. “Peles de esquilo para decora??o,” ela respondeu com uma voz estranha. Lesyar tirou uma sacola de baixo de um balc?o de madeira e abriu seu conte?do diante do olhar de uma garota surpresa. “Escolhe! ? tudo teu! Vamos combinar um pre?o!” Ladomira passou a palma da m?o pela pele marrom-avermelhada brilhante com manchas pretas. “Eu levo tudo.” Lesyar sorriu. “Ent?o vou descontar alguns merculs de cobre,” ele prometeu. Ladomira desabotoou uma bolsa em seu cinto, cheia de moedas de cobre e prata, chamada nessa regi?o de mercul. Pois em um dos lados da moeda, estava representada a face de Merc?rio, um deus eslavo desconhecido. Antes, os eslavos pagavam suas compras com p?rolas do rio, mas quatrocentos anos atr?s apareceram mercadores de pa?ses distantes, e suas bolsas estavam cheias de merculs. Knyazianos eslavos gostavam da apar?ncia de um deus estrangeiro do com?rcio. Logo, as casas de moeda apareceram, e come?aram a reabastecer regularmente os ba?s dos knyazianos com merculs de cobre, prata e ouro. “Diga-me o seu pre?o”, disse Ladomira, abaixando a m?o em dire??o ? sua bolsa. “Dois merculs de prata e tr?s de cobre.” A menina contou a quantia e deu as moedas ao ca?ador. Ele habilmente agarrou seu pulso. “Eu ouvi – voc? ? uma novi?a no Templo da M?e Terra ?mida. Voc? vai se tornar uma sacerdotisa?” Lesyar disse. Ladomira soltou sua m?o e jogou as moedas perto das peles. “Coloque os produtos em uma sacola!” ela respondeu bruscamente. *** Nuvens estavam se formando sobre a cidade sagrada de Radogosh, localizada no Monte Alatyr, situado em um matagal de uma floresta. O clima entre seus habitantes estava esquentando. A tens?o estava no ar j? h? muito tempo, mas ultimamente ela s? se intensificou. Os habitantes da cidade sagrada, os vyrajianos, aqueles que os eslavos reverenciavam como seus 'deuses', estavam passando por tempos dif?ceis pois o culto ao deus Logos estava ganhando for?a nas terras ocidentais que ficavam al?m do rio Alba. O culto ? Logos era considerado novo pois apareceu apenas cerca de sete s?culos atr?s. Apesar disso, o culto rec?m-surgido pressionou os antigos deuses germ?nicos e escandinavos.

And then he'd broken her heart. So if it hadn't been for that pesky gunshot wound in her arm, Margo certainly wouldn't have found herself being held captive–for her own good, of course–in his house, his bed, handcuffed to his gorgeous, naked body.And her body wouldn't have betrayed her at his heated stare, his electric touch, his very presence. She'd still be hating Ryland Archard, instead of hating herself for wanting him–a man who was still too old for her, a jaded cop who kept a .38 Special in his breadbox…and her heart and future in his hands.

A dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages, the first of a quartet.Abarat: an archipelago of amazement and wonder. A land made up of twenty-five islands, each one representing one hour of the day, each one a unique place of adventure and danger (and one mysterious place out of time), all ruled over by the evil Christopher Carrion, Lord of Midnight, and his monstrous grandmother, Mater Motley.Candy Quackenbush, a 16-year old from Chickentown, Minnesota, crosses by accident from our world into Abarat, and discovers she has been there many, many times before. She has friends there and she has enemies. As Candy makes her journey between all the islands of the archipelago, she will discover a plot by Christopher Carrion to block out the Sun, Moon and stars to achieve a condition of Permanent Midnight. In order to prevent this disaster, Candy must find the courage to confront the Lord of Midnight; and in doing so come to know who she really is: a revelation which will transform her own understanding of her place in the epic events.The first book of Abarat is a spellbinding adventure for all ages, combining the heartstopping tension of a thriller with the powerful charm of the most enduring fable. And beneath all, it possesses the quicksilver imagination of one of the finest writers at work today. The four books of Abarat have been rightly called Clive Barker’s Narnia, his Wonderland. A sumptuous treat that will capture the imaginations of adults and children alike.
