Book excerpt: Colonel Gabriel de Laurent departed for the war intending to die. After a decade of bloodstained battlegrounds while fighting in Napoleon's army, Gabriel returns to the streets of Paris a shattered and haunted soul. Plagued by inner demons, he swallows the barrel of his flintlock pistol and pulls the trigger. But fate has a different plan. Ariah Larochelle is a survivor. Orphaned at twelve and victim to a devastating crime, she has learned to keep her back to walls and to trust no one. But when she finds a gravely injured soldier washed up on the River Seine, she's moved by compassion. In spite of her reservations, she rescues him from the icy water and brings him into her home. Now scarred inside and out, Gabriel discovers a kindred spirit in Ariah – and feelings he imagined lost forever reawaken as he observes her strength in the face of adversity. But when Ariah's own lethal secrets unfold, their new love is threatened by ancient ghosts. Can Gabriel and Ariah find hope in the wreckage of their pasts – or will the cycle of history repeat again? Perfect for fans of Gaelen Foley's Lord of Ice and Judith James's Broken Wing, Finding Gabriel features all the dark romance, searing passion, and historical intrigue of The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables.

Book excerpt: In the final Shields tale, join New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant for a moving story of love and redemption. Regards Reader – There are those who would love to rid themselves of painful memories, to forget mistakes. And pasts. They say it’s hell to live with those memories. I say it’s hell to live without them. I have no recollections of my past, my friends, or family. I owe my life to the Fae who discovered me bleeding and near dead at their doorway. They saved me and offered me a new life. I’ve served the Fae and the Shields since that fateful day. My unique knowledge of herbs and healing has been needed to save the Shields countless times. They are my brethren, my family. Yet I am alone. No matter where I search or what questions I ask, I discover nothing to open a doorway in my mind of locked memories. Until I catch a glimpse of a woman who seems as familiar to me as breathing. Though Jayna claims to not know me, our bodies, our souls recognize the other. I agonize over what she keeps hidden in the depths of her haunted hazel eyes. I fear the dark thoughts that lurk in my heart and wonder at any black deeds of my past. If what I dread comes to pass, death will not come swift enough. Above all, I must keep Jayna safe. She is the only one that has quieted my soul and shown me serenity. Gabriel the Hollow

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For spoiled young aristocrat Colin Harwood, the port city of Casmile is a buffet of easy pleasures. But when he steps into a pub brawl to help a dangerously outnumbered young man, he is drawn into the seedy underbelly of the city the young man calls home. Gabriel is a cutpurse and a knife for hire, practically an urban legend. His vision of Casmile is touched by a strange combination of faith and madness, driven by fairytale logic and a capacity for love that he often must suppress to survive. He's always worked alone, but when a dashing dragon who calls himself Colin saves him in a bar fight, he pulls Colin into his world. Gabriel's city is nothing like the refined, socialite existence that bored Colin senseless. Colin finds adventure and excitement there — and maybe even love. But with his layers of finery stripped away, nothing remains to protect him from poverty or danger — except Gabriel. So he must choose: go back to the civilized young man he once was, or fly free as Gabriel's dragon.

Book excerpt: Ripped from his family at an early age by a corporation known as Axis, a think tank of sorts, Gabriel is forced to perform complicated simulations and analogies for what he is told is the betterment of humankind. Gabriel is a genius, a person with a photographic memory and a brain like a sponge, absorbing every detail with perfect recall. Along the way, the focus of the work changed and some of his work was sold to the highest bidder resulting in death and destruction of people and buildings. Gabriel discovered this and vowed to stop it. He escaped from the confi nes of his forced imprisonment. Gabriel’s work generated a lot of money for Axis. With his departure, the income diminished, so the search is on to fi nd Gabriel and bring him back. He is pursued by Leonard Fletcher, the director of Axis, and his children, Amanda and Geoffrey. Gabriel eludes capture on numerous occasions as he traverses the country in search of clues to his past life, and the family he doesn’t remember.

They want to see him returned as well, because they are no longer getting a return on their investment from Axis. Along the way, Gabriel has adventures that help other people, fi nds love, endures tragedy, and in the end must decide what he is destined to be and do in life.

Download or read book Glimpses of Her Father’s Glory written by Timothy E. G. Bartel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Evangeline was a bestseller in nineteenth-century America, inspiring generations of readers with a heroine who overcomes colonial violence and exile in her romantic and spiritual quest across America. Long ignored by modernist scholars, Evangeline is finally getting the critical attention it deserves. Drawing on original research in Longfellow's scholarly manuscripts, Bartel explores the theological sources and spiritual world of Evangeline, arguing that Longfellow was inspired by the church fathers to craft Evangeline into a heroine who uniquely exemplifies, in her epic quest, the ancient Christian doctrines of deification and divine light. Bartel's Glimpses of Her Father's Glory returns Evangeline to its rightful place as a major poem of American literature, one that takes as its theme nothing less than the ultimate purpose of human existence.
