As a wealthy but lonely young man, Edward falls in love with the beautiful but sad Helena, the stepdaughter of Malta’s most vicious criminal.

Vowing to save Helena, Edward enlists the help of trusted friends to fake Helena’s death. But events spiral out of control, and Edward is framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Edward realizes that his desire for love was too naïve in a world driven by lies, greed, and revenge. Will he be able to outsmart the top criminal minds in Malta to unite with Helena, or is Edward being used as a pawn?
Helena is fourteen years old when she experienced the nationally organized forceful deportation of her family from their native Bohemia into West Germany. For more than four years she and her family along with thousands of others were transported via cattle-cars into various refugee camps, where they survived under most deplorable living conditions. Deprived of most basic amenities, they suffered extreme heat and cold, but foremost; starvation and disease. This journey into the depth of despair is not without hope. It is an account of survival that glitters and sparks with love and truth.
Explores the fascinating maritime history of St Helena.
St Helena, mother of Constantine the Great and legendary finder of the True Cross, was appropriated in the middle ages as a British saint. The rise and persistence of this legend harnessed Helena's imperial and sacred status to portray her as a romance heroine, source of national pride, and a legitimising link to imperial Rome. This study is the first to examine the origins, development, political exploitation and decline of this legend, tracing its momentum and adaptive power from Anglo-Saxon England to the twentieth century. Using Latin, English, and Welsh texts, as well as church dedications and visual arts, the author examines the positive effect of the British legend on the cult of St Helena and the reasons for its wide appeal and durability in both secular and religious contexts. Two previously unpublished vitae of St Helena are included in the volume: a Middle English verse vita from the South English Legendary, and a Latin prose vita by the twelfth-century hagiographer, Jocelin of Furness. Antonina Harbus is Professor in the Department of English at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

Bonaparte's arrival--with a retinue of fifteen hundred people--throws the island population into turmoil and particularly alarms the slaves, who believe the emperor to be a demon. After settling in a teahouse in a patch of briars and fruit trees, Napoleon is befriended by a teenage girl, Betsy Balcombe--the only person who is able to penetrate the imperial facade and understand the proud, wounded man within
