In the Thirty Years War, while Wallenstein, Tilly and Gustav Adolf were devastating Germany, many thousands of innocent women and girls died at the stake. A man becomes the conscience of his time: the priest and poet Friedrich Spee. In 'Der Hexenawalt' (The Witches Bar) the setting is 1629 and Germany is a land of the burning pyre. War atrocities, famine and pestilence have depopulated towns and villages. God cannot be blamed for this misery! Who else could be guilty but the devil and his wicked assistants: Satan's brides, the witches. All evil is believed to come from these women. Thousands of confessions were forced under torture during the ensuing witch hunt. The Jesuit Father Spee and his pupil Philip of Kronthal are among the few who know that all these women and girls are innocent: victims of superstitious delusion and sexual perversion. Friedrich Spee, priest, poet and incorruptible critic of the authorities is the focus of this major novel of Germany in the Thirty Years War. In the conflict between obedience and rebellion, irritated by the powerful personality of Weibischofs Johannes Pelking, Spee knows that violence cannot be answered with violence. Hoping for the victory of reason, he completes his famous work 'Cautio Criminalis', to the fury of the judges and torturers would finally be forced to stop using torture to extract confessions. As in Lohmeyer's first novel, 'Die Hexe' (The Witch), the reader experiences in this book a wealth of colorful, figurative and dramatic scenes as this novel follows vast stretches of the historical record of the life of Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld. From the Hildesheim Jesuit college to Denmark to Wallenstein's dragoons to Paderborn hiding the 'midwife witch' Barbara. From the terrible fires of Geseke where the Witches Commissioner Dr. Schultheiss is raging to the field headquarters of General Tilly on the western shore to Sweden and to the very walls of the oppressed free imperial city of Cologne. Wolfgang Lohmeyer, born 1919 in Berlin, lives in the countryside near Munich. He has written poetry, plays and television dramas and the historical novel 'Die Hexe' (The Witch) set in 17th century Cologne. Im Dreissigjährigen Krieg, während Wallenstein, Tilly und Gustav Adolf Deutschland verwüsten, sterben viele tausend Frauen und Mädchen unschuldig auf dem Scheiterhaufen. Ein Mann wird zum Gewissen seiner Zeit: der Priester und Dichter Friedrich Spee. 1629. In Deutschland brennen die Scheiterhaufen; Kriegsgreuel, Hunger und Seuchen entvölkern Städte und Dörfer. Gott darf nicht schuld an diesem Elend sein! Schuldig ist allein der Teufel mit seinen verruchten Helferinnen: den Satansbräuten, den Hexen. Alles Übel kommt von diesen Frauen. Tausende, die man auf der Folter zu aberwitzigen Geständnissen zwang, erliegen der grausamen Hexenjagd. Der Jesuitenpater Spee und sein Schüler Philipp von Kronthal gehören zu den wenigen, die wissen, dass all diese Frauen und Mädchen unschuldig sind: Opfer abergläubischer Verblendung und sexueller Perversion. Friedrich Spee, Priester, Dichter und unbestechlicher Kritiker der Obrigkeit, steht im Mittelpunkt dieses grossangelegten Romans aus dem Deutschland des Dreissigjährigen Krieges. Im Konflikt zwischen Gehorsam und Auflehnung, irritiert von der machtvollen Persönlichkeit des Weibischofs Johannes Pelking, will Spee Gewalt nicht mit Gegengewalt beantworten. Auf den Sieg der Vernunft hoffend, vollendet er seine Streitschrift >> Cautio Criminalis <<, die dem Wüten der Richter und Folterknechte endlich Einhalt gebieten soll. Wie schon in Lohmeyers erstem Roman, >> Die Hexe <<, erlebt der Leser auch in diesem Buch eine Fülle farbiger, figurenreicher, dramatischer Szenen. Vom Hildesheimer Jesuitenkolleg bis nach Dänemark zu Wallensteins Dragonern, vom Paderborner Versteck der >> Hebammenhexe << Barbara bis zu den schrecklichen Bränden von Geseke, wo der Hexenkommissar Dr. Schultheiss wütet, vom Feldquartier des Generalleutnants Tilly am Weserufer bis unter die Mauern der von den Schweden bedrängten Freien Reichsstadt Köln führt die Handlung; sie folgt auf weiten Strecken der historischen Überlieferung vom Leben dieses tapferen Mannes Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld. Wolfgang Lohmeyer, geboren 1919 in Berlin, lebt auf dem Land in der Nähe von München. Er schrieb Lyrik, Theaterstücke und Fernsehspiele und den historischen Roman >> Die Hexe <<, der im Köln des 17. Jahrhunderts spielt. 5.5"x8.3", 414 seiten (pages). Zufriedenheit garantiert (satisfaction guaranteed).. Hard Cover.

Reconciled with Arthur, Guenevere secretly mourns the loss of her beloved Lancelot, who has returned to the Sacred Lake of his boyhood, hoping to restore his faith in chivalry in the place where he first learned to be a knight. In a glittering ceremony at the annual feast of Pentecost, new knights are sworn to the Round Table, including Arthur's nephews, the cunning Agravain and his heroic brother Gawain. Camelot is reborn in all its glory, and after many years of strife, peace is restored to Guenevere's realm.But betrayal, jealousy, and ancient blood feuds fester unseen. Morgan Le Fay, now the proud possessor of Arthur's only son, Mordred, has become the focus of Merlin's age-old quest to ensure the survival of the house of Pendragon at all costs. And from the east comes the shattering news that Guenevere may have a rival for Lancelot's love. A bleak shadow falls again across Camelot--and across the sacred isle of Avalon, where Roman priests threaten the sanctity of the Hallows and the life of the Lady herself. At the center of the storm is Guenevere, a proud and powerful queen torn between her love for her husband, her people, and her knight, Sir Lancelot of the Lake.With rare and intuitive magic, Rosalind Miles brings to life a legendary woman's bravery and passion, and all the pageantry, heartbreak, violence, and beauty of an age gone by." Good Reads "Rosalind Miles is an author born and raised in England and now living in both Los Angeles and Kent, England. She has written both works of fiction and non-fiction. As a child, Miles suffered from polio, and had to undergo several months of treatment. After being accepted to a junior women's college, Miles acquired a working knowledge of Latin and Greek, along with developing her life-long love of Shakespeare. At seventeen, she was promoted to St. Hilda's College, Oxford where she studied English literature, Anglo-Saxon, Middle English, Latin and French. She obtained five degrees in all, ending with a Ph.D. from the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham.Miles later on became interested in jurisprudence, which resulted in her sitting as a lay magistrate in the English criminal and family courts, and eventually on the bench in a superior court in Coventry. She is also a regular commentator on the BBC, on Canadian Radio, and in The Times." Good Reads, Crown Publishing Group, 2001-06-12, 5<

"In ancient Egypt, a forgotten princess must overcome her family's past and remake history.The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. A devastating palace fire has killed the Eighteenth Dynasty's royal familyall with the exception of Nefertari, the niece of the reviled former queen, Nefertiti. The girl's deceased family has been branded as heretical, and no one in Egypt will speak their names. A relic of a previous reign, Nefertari is pushed aside, an unimportant princess left to run wild in the palace. But this changes when she is taken under the wing of the Pharaoh's aunt, then brought to the Temple of Hathor, where she is educated in a manner befitting a future queen.Soon Nefertari catches the eye of the Crown Prince, and despite her family's history, they fall in love and wish to marry. Yet all of Egypt opposes this union between the rising star of a new dynasty and the fading star of an old, heretical one. While political adversity sets the country on edge, Nefertari becomes the wife of Ramesses the Great. Destined to be the most powerful Pharaoh in Egypt, he is also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in history.Sweeping in scope and meticulous in detail, The Heretic Queen is a novel of passion and power, heartbreak and redemption."

With the glories of the throne comes the responsibility of a queen, and Isolde knows she must return to her beloved Western Isle. She can no longer tolerate her marriage to King Mark of Cornwall, a marriage she has accepted for years in order to save her country from the threat of war and to be near her only love, Mark's nephew Tristan of Lyonesse. King Mark, always cowardly and spiteful, is too heavily influenced by his monks and counselors, who loathe the powerful and independent Isolde. And so she leaves Cornwall for good and comes home to Ireland, where her lords face a growing threat from the warlike Picti, who live in the barren highlands to the north of England. The Picti have a bold new king, Darath, who is determined to take the riches of Ireland for his own people, whether by war or by marriage with Isolde.Isolde gathers her armies to confront the Picti and faces a violent conflict as well with King Mark, who vows he will not let a prize like Isolde, and Ireland, slip from his grasp. Isolde is last in a line of famous warrior queens who have guarded Ireland from time before memory, and now sheand her knight, Tristanmust play out their fate and face her enemies in a final battle, a war that could spell ruin for them both."

Now, that mistress comes to vivid life in Kate Emerson's The King's Damsel.A real-life letter from Spanish Ambassador Eustace Chapuys, written on September 27, 1534, reported that the king had ""renewed and increased the love he formerly bore to another very handsome young lady of the Court"" and that the queen had tried ""to dismiss the damsel from her service."" Other letters from Eustace reveal that the mystery woman was a ""true friend"" of the Princess (later Queen) Mary, Henry's daughter by Catherine of Aragon. Though no one knows who ""the king's damsel"" really was, here Kate Emerson presents her as young gentlewoman Thomasine Lodge, a lady-in-waiting to King Henry's daughter, Princess Mary. Thomasine becomes the Princess's confidante, especially as Henry's marriage to Catherine dissolves and tensions run high. When the king procures a divorce in order to marry Anne Boleyn, who is suspicious and distrustful of Mary, Mary has Thomasine placed in Anne's service to be her eyes and ears. And that's when she gets the attention of the king...Rich in historical detail and featuring a wealth of bonus material, The King's Damsel is sure to keep readers coming back for more in the exciting series!""
