From the multiple

Ysabel, Tigana and A
Song for Arbonne, this
powerful, moving saga
evokes the Celtic,
Anglo-Saxon, and Norse
cultures of a thousand
years ago. There is
nothing soft or silken
about the north. The
lives of men and women
are as challenging as the
climate and lands in
which they dwell. For
generations, the Erlings
of Vinmark have taken
their dragon-prowed ships
across the seas, raiding
the lands of the Cyngael
and Anglcyn peoples,
leaving fire and death
behind. But times change,

consummate artistry,
people of all three
cultures find the threads

unexpectedly brought
together? Bern
Thorkellson, punished
for his father's sins,
commits an act of
vengeance and desperation
that brings him
face-to-face, across the
sea, with a past he's
been trying to leave
behind. In the Anglcyn
lands of King Aeldred,
the shrewd king,
battling inner demons all
the while, shores up his
defenses with alliances
and diplomacy-and with
swords and arrows-while
his exceptional,
unpredictable sons and
daughters pursue their
own desires when battle
comes and darkness falls
in the woods. And in the
valleys and shrouded
hills of the Cyngael,
whose voices carry music
even as they feud and
raid amongst each other,
violence and love become
deeply interwoven when
the dragon ships come and

Assistant D.A. Alexa
Hamilton has just been
handed the kind of case
that makes careers: the
trial of accused serial
killer Luke Quentin.
Sifting through mountains
of forensic evidence,
Alexa relentlessly builds
her case and prepares for
a high-stakes trial...
until threatening letters
throw her private life
into turmoil. The letters
are addressed to Alexa's
beautiful 17-year-old
daughter, Savannah, who
Alexa has raised alone
since her painful divorce
years before. Alexa is
certain that Quentin is
behind the letters - and
that they are too
dangerous to ignore.
Suddenly Alexa must make
the toughest choice of
all - and send her
daughter back to the very
place that Alexa swore
she would never return:
to her ex-husband's world
of southern tradition,
long memories, and the
antebellum charm of
Charleston. While Alexa's
trial builds to a climax
in New York, her
daughter is settling into
southern life,
discovering a part of her
family history she's
never known. As a
family's wounds are
exposed and the healing
begins, Alexa and
Savannah, after a season
in different worlds,
will come together again
- strengthened by the
trials they have faced,
changed by the mysteries
they have unraveled,
armed with miracles that
are uniquely their own.

In 1929, Beattie
Blaxland had dreams. Big
dreams. She dreamed of a
life of fashion and
fabrics. One thing she
never dreamed was that
she would find herself
pregnant to her married
lover, just before her
nineteenth birthday. In
2009, Emma
Blaxland-Hunter was
living her dream. A prima
ballerina with the London
Ballet, she had
everything... Until the
moment she lost it all.
Separated by decades,
both women must find the
strength to rebuild their
lives. A legacy from one
to the other will lead to
Wildflower Hill, a place
where a woman can learn
to stand alone long
enough to realise what
she really wants.
