The King's Peace
Sulien is 17 when the Jarnish invade her homeland and she is left for dead. With the land around her disintegrating and no help forthcoming, Sulien rides out in search of a young ruler fighting to create unity. What follows is the beginning of an alliance that will shape the course of history and Sulien's life.
The King's Name
Sulien has always worked loyally alongside King Urdo; she believes he is to be the greatest man of his time. He is seen by others as a potential tyrant and his laws are mistrusted. This soon gives way to a civil war and the conflict tears her country and family apart. Now Sulien must take up arms against her family and friends.
The Prize in the Game
Four young friends are destined for kingship. When they unwittingly incur the wrath of the Horse Goddess, they find that the ties of friendship and even love may not be enough to prevent their countries from attacking one another.

Product Description
Customer review: "This tale is a classic in the crime fiction genre."
She is lovely, smart, and talented—and only Lord Peter can save her from the gallows
Lord Peter Wimsey comes to the trial of Harriet Vane for a glimpse at one of the most engaging murder cases London has seen in years. Unfortunately for the detective, the crime’s details are distractingly salacious, and there is little doubt that the woman will be found guilty. A slightly popular mystery novelist, she stands accused of poisoning her fiancé, a literary author and well-known advocate of free love. Over the course of a few weeks, she bought strychnine, prussic acid, and arsenic, and when her lover died the police found enough poison in his veins to kill a horse. But as Lord Peter watches Harriet in the dock, he begins to doubt her guilt—and to fall in love.
As Harriet awaits the hangman, Lord Peter races to prove her innocence, hoping that for the first time in his life, love will triumph over death.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College.

Customer review: "I find Marion Chesney's Royal novels fun to read."
As far as matrimonial prospects were concerned, Lucy Bliss was told she’d make an excellent clergyman’s wife.
Her mother, however, had loftier aspirations for her lovely younger sister Belinda. Belinda would marry a duke. More specifically, the Duke of Wardshire. Lucy was truly horrified. “Lucifer” Wardshire! Why, he was rumored to be as wicked as the devil, with orgies and mistresses—and worse!
As the London Season unfolded, Lucy couldn’t decide who was more abominable, her vulgar mama or the arrogant yet disconcertingly handsome duke. No matter, Lucy vowed to go to any lengths to protect her sister, even if her mission should take her into the very arms of the devilish duke himself….

When the great storm comes, the good life ends. And hell on Earth begins. For 100 years we’ve been tossing our toxic waste over our shoulders. No more. This morning, while we slept, something woke up. It’s virulent. Malign. Intelligent. Ambitious. It’s in our food, our water, our air. It’s inside our bodies themselves. And it’s not leaving. We are.
