Tristan d'Arcenne is what he always wished to be -- Vianne di Rocancheil's Consort. But Vianne is no more a noblewoman, she is the Queen of Arquitaine, faced with treachery, invasion, war, and a Consort whose secrets may well shatter their marriage. For before Tristan was hers, he belonged to a King. . .and that King died by Tristan's hand. Arquitaine needs them both. The country is locked in a deadly game whose rules change by the moment. The Queen is an adept player, but hardly ruthless enough. The contest requires a man who has nothing to lose, a man who has already done the worst and will continue to do so for his wife, his country, and his own salvation. The Bandit King approaches. . .
South Austin redneck meets Mayan surrealism. Disillusioned by the complacency of modern American society and generally bored, Dylan King and his traveling companion, Sam ODonnel head for Mexico seeking adventure and fortune. Through a sequence of events that is being choreographed by ancient deities through dreams, the travelers become deeply involved in a violent revolution in Mexico that eventually alters the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere forever. Kings association with the mysterious and beautiful Marcella Springs, who is actually the embodiment of a pre-Columbian goddess, and Alvarez, her chosen warrior, provide the backdrop for a tale that shakes our traditional world views and explores the world of metaphysics and separate realities from a perspective refreshed by recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics and laced with an ample supply of down home sex and humor.
A highly entertaining, illustrated look at the villains who robbed banks, trains, and stagecoaches - and who sometimes became American folk heroes - from the days of roving gangs on horseback wielding Colts and Winchesters to the era of the clutch-popping Tommy-gunners. In The Bandit Kings, acclaimed historian Roger A. Bruns provides a lively but considered assessment of the Western bandits and the legends they inspired. The story of how these notorious outlaws took on almost mythical stature in dime novels, popular magazines, theatrical entertainments, and eventually movies is fascinating in itself, but the real facts of their lives and misdeeds are no less intriguing. Throughout the book's 120 photographs, we see the actual faces and places where America's most renowned outlaws ran wild. The Bandit Kings weaves both history and legend into a narrative supported by a trove of rare and unforgettable photographs.

In the days of old, the hands of the Guardians molded the fate of the realm as they resisted the mists of shadow. Those ages have since passed, but the rhythmic heartbeat of the struggle remains. And it cannot be ignored forever. Namesiwa is no Guardian. He’s no master of the war-dance of battling sides and rising mists. He’s only an Avaleurian man, striving to form a legacy of woven virtues that will honor his family’s name and compel respect from his wife’s father’s cold eyes. Though he has yet to see the truth of it for himself, his choices are intertwined with the fate of the land, and so the legacy he chooses to claim will dance with the growing shadow. Will it lead Eldaria toward reigns of peace, or malice?
