Spanning, hartstocht, intriges, en romantiek zijn enkele van de ingrediënten waarmee deze roman gekruid is. Het is het verhaal van het geslacht de Montfroid en speelt zich af in het middeleeuwse Normandië van de twaalfde eeuw. Guillaume de Montfroid, de hoofdfiguur in deze roman is de graaf van Avre. Van uit zijn burcht in Nonancourt benut hij op diplomatische wijze elke opportuniteit om zijn macht te verstevigen en zijn graafschap tot economische bloei te brengen. De strijd om het hertogdom Normandië, twee vrou-wen die dezelfde man begeren, de onvoorspelbare koning Hendrik van Engeland en de geheime ambitie van de oudste zoon van Guillaume zijn slechts een greep uit de talrijke verhaallijnen. Dit alles wordt af en toe overgoten met een vleugje humor en soms enkele druppels ironie. De directe stijl van deze historische roman laat je niet los en leidt de lezer langs spannende gebeurtenissen en onverwachte wendingen, langs romantische liefdesgeschiedenissen en pikante situaties, naar de vooravond van de tweede kruistocht. Kortom, een boek vol verrassingen, bedoeld voor een zeer breed publiek. Wie houdt van historische en aangrijpende verhaallijnen, zal het boek in één adem uitlezen.

In the land of humankind, turmoil bubbles in the kingdoms, with The Fool and The Princess none the wiser. Through the magic of their union, they've entered the fairy paradise, where they experience a reality wondrous beyond imagining.They know nothing of the shock wave that disrupted the veil as they entered, leaving the worlds of human and fairy visible to each other for a split second. Nor do they know of the army scouring the enchanted forest in search of them or the fate that has befallen the Princess's own parents.Meanwhile, the Knight of Spears and the Bard hope to free the Emperor from captivity, even as they are constantly on the run - not just from the Council, but from the unceasing natural disasters that plague the Empire.Everywhere cities are crumbling, beasts are roaming freely, and what seems like only a handful of souls fight for peace. The only way out is to stand and be where they are, as they are, united and connected against the forces of greed and corruption.

Our beliefs are the lenses through which we perceive life. In turn, those beliefs are influenced by our perception of previous experiences. So, what if we accidentally misperceive something? When you misperceive what you experience, it clouds the lens through which you perceive later experiences, which makes it more likely you misperceive those experiences as well. With such a series of clouded lenses, it's only a matter of time before you run into real-life problems or dilemmas that appear unsolvable. Not because they are, but because of your distorted perception of reality. Through working with clients, author and coach Richard van der Linde found that most large real-life problems find their origin at the very first lens of perception: unclarity about what one believes to constitute the self. Making up your mind about this, based on what honestly feels most convincing after informing yourself well has proven to be a great way to solve those unsolvable appearing real-life problems. This book presents an objective overview of interesting arguments from dozens of books. It covers ten topics, ranging from neuroscience, philosophy and even religion to practical experiments. Are you really what you think you are, or perhaps not? By the end of the book, you'll have your answer and, perhaps, also the solution to your unsolvable problems and dilemmas.
