A few historical novel bargains for $1.99 each, available in the US and Canada and eligible for the 4x bonus super points holiday promotion at Kobo US, and should be price-matched in the usual other stores.

Fields of Glory & Blood on the Sand, #1-2 in Michael Jecks' (SYKM, Wikipedia) Hundred Years' Wars historical adventure trilogy out from Simon & Schuster UK, these installments set in 1346. Jecks is a popular historical mystery writer who's known for doing his research (I've read one of his post-Crusades mysteries which I'd gotten from a previous sale and was favourably impressed; he also included some nice historical notes in with the story).

Homeland by Barbara Hambly (ISFDB, SYKM, Wikipedia), a standalone part-epistolary novel from Random House's Bantam imprint about the friendship between two women caught up on different sides of the US Civil War, keeping each other sane by discussing Life, the Universe, and Everything as the war rages on around them. Hambly is one of my favourite authors, so I already own this in hardcover. While IMHO it's not the best of her straight historicals, it's still a pretty decent story which is well worth $2 to try if you happen to have enjoyed her other award-nominated historical fiction or her popular Benjamin January historical mysteries or even her fantasy and are interested in the premise.
