Book Summary:

Kait Galweigh, her Sabir lover Ry and his cousin Ian have captured the Mirror of Souls, an artefact that can confer immortality, but only at huge cost to the innocents whose souls are used to feed it. But while Kait and her friends are battling the ages-old evil of the Mirror, her cousin Danya, raped and Scarred, is being groomed for godhead, gathering together a mighty army of the Scarred, ready to invade and conquer the Rich Lands. COURAGE OF FALCONS, like the first two books in the sequence, is a masterful fantasy with well-realised characters, a cracking plot and a villain who exudes evil from every pore.

Book Summary:

Kait Galweigh, her Sabir lover Ry and his cousin Ian, have captured the Mirror of Souls, an artefact which can confer immortality, but only at huge cost to the innocents whose souls are used to feed it. Though the Mirror calls to Kait - she had hoped to use its magical powers to restore to life her slaughtered Family - she knows its evil is too great and that it must be destroyed before Crispin Sabir gets his hands on it. But the only way to do that is if Kait becomes a Falcon like her uncle, one of the covert group of wizards sworn to the service of good under the aegis of the god Vodor Imrish. And that decision binds her more surely than any iron chain. While Kait and her friends are battling the ages-old evil of the Mirror, her cousin Danya, raped and Scarred by Crispin, is being groomed for godhead by the Dragon Luercas, who now inhabits the body of her dead son. Impersonating Ki Ika, the Summer Goddess, and her son Iksahsha, the Chosen One, they are gathering together a mighty army of the Scarred, ready to invade and conquer the Rich Lands. The destruction of the Mirror will avert a great disaster . . . but for Kait and her friends, the nightmare is onlky just beginning. Courage of Falcons is a masterful fantasy that will appeal to readers of Julian May and Maggie Furey, with strong, well-realised characters, a cracking plot and a villain who exudes evil from every pore.

Book Summary:

Ever since their defeat in the Great Refusal decades ago, and all through their partial demilitarization when faced with Devlin Stone’s Republic of the Sphere, the Clans have sought their place in the universe. Now, one Clansman has found her vision, and will make a bid for power that will shake the very foundations of the Inner Sphere... Jade Falcon Galaxy Commander Malvina Hazen and her warriors are encamped on the planet Skye in their Occupation Zone, overseeing the consolidation of power on the worlds they've wrested from The Republic. When a ship appears at Skye's jump point and its commander declares a Trial of Possession for the wartime doctrine he claims Malvina stole from Clan Hell's Horses, Malvina sees her vision unfolding: she agrees to single BattleMech combat. Malvina emerges from the fray victorious—and inspired to ride her growing reputation into Clan Jade Falcon’s halls of power. But her bold actions may herald the beginning of a civil war that could unmake not simply her own Clan, but the entire Clan way of life...

Book Summary:

De Arte Venandi cum Avibus was written shortly before the year 1250 by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, in whose court, with its remarkably cosmopolitan and highly intellectual life, may be found the real beginning of the Italian Renaissance. In spite of its title, it is far more than a dissertation on hunting. There is a lengthy introduction dealing with the anatomy of birds, an intensely interesting description of avian habits, and the excursions of migratory birds. Indeed, this ancient book has long been recognized as the first zoological treatise written in the critical spirit of modern science. The sumptuous volume now in hand is, however, the first translation into English of the complete text, originally divided into a prologue and size books. Together, the translators and editors, have at last made available this classic work and have adorned it with notes, comments, bibliographies, and glossary. They have produced a work of great value to zoologists--especially the ornithologist--and also to everyone interested in the history of science and in medieval art and letters.

Book Summary:

Wilbur's Song is the story of Wilbur, a young, yellow canary who cannot sing at all. By a series of unfortunate events, he is trapped by a great falcon named Franco and is prevented from migrating south for the winter with his family. He is all alone to spend the freezing winter in the Town of Courage. He is befriended by a 13 year old girl and her four siblings, who take him into their home for the winter. Wilbur soon meets the family's Rottweiler "Achoo" who is old and weak. Wilbur brings the dog back to life as they go through adventures together. Achoo teaches Wilbur how to connect his heart to his song. Wilbur's Song was originally called "Wilbur the Yellow Bird". A story the author had made up to tell his oldest daughter Amanda. Soon they were joined by Samantha, Bobby, Sadi and Cody. The author added all the kids into the story and their Family Rottweiler. As the children grew up together, Wilbur was their most requested story. Wilbur's Song is dedicated to the children, the great black and tan dog and the little yellow imaginary bird that tied it all together and touched their hearts.
