How can a young wizard find his way in life without guidance? Joramm's troubles did not end after Kreltahk's defeat at Riyahm. The older wizards who fought and died by his side left him with tremendous power, but they had no time to share the knowledge and wisdom he would need to use it effectively. Joramm seeks answers as he wanders alone in the ruined kingdom. He seeks hope for his future. Most of all, he seeks peace. All of these things evade him. With rumors flying that the king died in Kreltahk's final attack on the kingdom, local lords see an opportunity for conquest. Lord Jilarke is eager to make Konag the new seat of power. Unlike the king and queen in Madarre, who had shown their distrust in wizards even before Kreltahk fell in battle, Lord Jilarke welcomes the use of magic to crush his enemies and become the new king. As the threat of new war rises, Joramm must decide his path. He can flee and possibly never find the answers he seeks. Or he can stay, fight to protect the kingdom, and possibly never find the peace he seeks. Once again, the fate of the kingdom may rest in the hands of a boy from a remote fishing village.

The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban: 11 Tales by Margaret Nagel (Neverwert Press) (70 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

"Margaret Nagel delivers a likable, funny and, above all, believable protagonist in this delightful story brimming with captivating characters... Thankfully, Brother Arcadius is only 20 at the end of the book's final tale which should leave time for many more adventures in what is sure to be a much-anticipated sequel." - BlueInk starred review Not a children's book in spite of its readability and appearance, The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban deals light handedly with the hardships and hazards of the 9th century AD. Serious, dutiful, and naive Brother Arcadius, a young monk, sets out from his native Dublin to take up life at the remote Alpine monastery of Spiritus Sanctus. On the first stage of his long journey, the ocean crossing from Ireland to England, he rouses himself from sea sickness long enough to rescue a stow-away kitten from death at the hands of a wrathful sailor. He gives the kitten the Irish name of Pangur Ban and takes it with him to his destination, which turns out to be not quite your usual monastery - just as Pangur Ban is not quite your usual cat. Eleven interlinked tales recount the adventures of monk and cat over the next four years, and capture the wonderment of a time when, no matter where you lived, much of the rest of the world seemed strange and far away. Readers may know, or may like to know, that sometime during the 9th century, a monk living in what is now Switzerland wrote a poem comparing his own love of scholarship to his cat's love of catching mice. He wrote the poem in Old Irish on a leaf of a manuscript that was otherwise in Latin and Greek. He gave the cat's name as "Pangur Ban," but remained anonymous himself. It is an engaging poem. In modern times, in various translations, it has appeared in many anthologies, and has been an inspiration for much commentary, an animated film, and several books, including The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban.

THE KATERINA ICON by Robert Mitchell (31 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Two young Australians, following the Volga River on the small cruise ship Maxim Gorky, rescue an old man drowning in its icy waters. In gratitude he gives them an early 20th Century icon which he swears contains a code giving directions to the hiding place of priceless icons looted from the imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, during the early years of the Russian Revolution, icons which were secreted somewhere within the monastery at Goritsy, a monastery they had passed not long after they had dragged the old man from the river.

And at last their attention is focussed on the high embrasure through which the old Cossack's grandfather was lifted into the monastery, taking the icons with him. They don't see the two figures far back on the lake, hidden by the mist. ...
