Barnum's Angel

Boswell, Len

Lily was no angel. She was something . . . OTHER

To some, Lily was just a beautiful little girl. To others, she was a freakish albino who ate live chickens in a freak show. Charles Darwin called her his impossible girl and tried in vain to classify her. P. T. Barnum called her his angel and tried to take advantage of her.

But the creature Barnum thought to turn into a money-making feature attraction is neither girl nor angel. She is something other, a species of unimaginable abilities, with the power to destroy—or save —our world. The power is hers alone, but only the strange blood coursing through her veins will decide when and how to unleash a power she struggles every day to control.

From the cold, barren shores of Tierra del Fuego and the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle to the bustling crowds of Victorian London, Lily's story—and her quest—unfolds in a thrilling historical fantasy for all ages from award-winning author Len Boswell.

Weathering the Storm

Bennett, Paul

Book 7 of The Mallory Saga

The relationship between Ethan Mallory and the Shawnee leader Tecumseh reaches its conclusion in The War of 1812. The war brings many changes to the Mallory clan as the unstoppable march of white settlements in the Northwest Territory creates stormy conditions and drama.

What a wonderful new addition to the unique "Mallory Saga"! Against the backdrop of global conflict, Bennett spins an intimate tale of the individuals trapped on the fault lines. Grand politics and personal tragedy; great wars and personal feuds; Emerging nations and ancient tribes. A masterpiece!" Gordon Doherty

There are metaphors that say, books are keys to our imagination. Or a book is a device to ignite said imagination. If that is so, with this book as well as his previous six in the Mallory Saga, Paul Bennett has unlocked many doors, and for this reader, a countless number of them. Mr. Bennett is a true story teller. He made my mind soar. Ommadawn Reviews
