I just read a news heading that I am not sure at all how to unpack. I just can’t. OH but I will share it with you. How kind of me. “Bulldog puppy ‘saved owner’s life’ after chewing his toe to the bone while he slept” Ummm…okay. There is a lot in that heading. I’m sure if I read the article it would make sense and I would be greatly happy for the guy. Hero puppies are awesome right? Or I can just walk away and try to forget I ever read that. Eww.. feet stories are gross. FINE!! I will read it now. Be right back…. NOPE NOPE NOPE!!! I did not walk away from that article a happier person. OH MY GOLLY!!!! I was thinking the dog knew the guy had cancer and was trying to get rid of it or something like that. NO! That dog straight up starting eating that guy alive. AHHHHH!!! He wasn’t trying to help. HE WAS HUNGRY!!! It was only after this incident that the guy realized he didn’t have feeling in part of his foot which alerted him to a bigger issue. This is why the puppy making a snack of him saved his life. But make no mistake. That dog was NOM NOM NOMMING on him. Erg.. Oh gosh. The next article read, “Man likely attacked by shark ends up having his life saved by it a week later.” Fool me once Shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

A devastated and forlorn young man stands by the bed of his dead parents in a deserted chateau in France. He is alone, but he is the heir to the power and wealth of the vast family estates.
Piers De Chatillon, tall and darkly handsome with a sharp wit, will carve out a place for himself as an ambitious courtier, lover and swordsman in the courts of Europe.

The story is set in the turbulent years of the 11th century when the Catholic Church began to flex its muscles against the Holy Roman Emperor and the northern Princes. It moves from the French and German courts to Rome and finally on a perilous and deadly journey to the forbidding medieval fortress in Prague, home of the Dukes and Bishops of Bohemia.
Piers De Chatillon finds he has to fight for his life from his first days as a young man in the French court. Nonetheless, nothing has prepared him for the challenges he will face in the dangerous corridors of the Pope’s Lateran Palace in Rome. Here, he will learn his trade as an assassin and arch manipulator.
The enemies of Pope Alexander line up against the clever young Papal Envoy who stands in their way, and they are determined to destroy Piers De Chatillon in the most brutal way so they can assassinate Pope Alexander.

The Ashen Prophecy
by Michael Morea
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
The Kingdom of Regulus is enjoying a period of peace won by its general, the righteous Magnus, and his wife, Knight Commander Kera. However, that peace is shattered when the king is nearly assassinated during a diplomatic exchange with the far-flung Republic of Lyrium. When the Lyrian government pins the blame on a group of disaffected magic users, the Regulan royal family recruits Magnus, Kera, and a mercenary outfit to journey across the sea and work with the Lyrians in apprehending the masterminds.
Once they arrive, they discover that not everything is as it seems in Lyrium. Research into terracite – mysterious crystals capable of producing magic – has yielded technological and societal upheaval, displacing the skilled mages who once commanded government and industry. The Lyrian government now openly persecutes those who practice magic, forcing some families to flee from its terrible grasp and others towards violent rebellion. Meanwhile, the republic is expanding its borders into territory occupied by barbarians calling themselves the Ashen, hoping to secure more terracite for nefarious ends.
When one family – with connections to both the magic wielders and the Ashen – falls into Magnus and Kera’s orbit, the couple finds themselves drawn into the mages and barbarians’ respective fights, while dealing with lingering wounds of their own. Along the way, they will unravel a conspiracy within the Lyrian government, discover the origins of terracite, and grapple with an ancient prophecy in order to prevent a vengeful power from returning to prominence.
