America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. Once captured and enslaved in Tripoli, Thomas Watson has escaped at last and vowed never to return. Susannah Wilcox secretly longs for adventure, and is thrilled when she is sent to Naples to finish her education. Jules Monroe is freeborn, but longs to prove to himself and the wider world that he is a man, out on the sea with his cousin Samuel. Their stories all meet in 1803 aboard the Philadelphia, a 36-gun frigate. Unfortunately, the ship has fallen into the hand of Barbery pirates, and such a powerful weapon will allow them to decimate the United States' fledgling navy.
America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. Stephen Monroe is a young, zealous patriot, proud of his brother William, who is a distinguished captain in the Revolutionary War. The one thing Stephen can't understand is how his brother can kill Redcoats but despise the fiery words of other revolutionaries like Thomas Paine. When Stephen meets Lieutenant William Morris, he thinks he has found someone even more patriotic than his brother. Caught between two Williams, Stephen must realize there are two wars going on, and he must choose between his brother's or Lieutenant Morris's.
"John went down the winding stairs to the dungeon, holding the lantern above his head just to see that the dungeon really was empty, as usual. Half of it was empty as usual. But the other side was not empty. It was quite full, and what it was full of was Dragon."This collection of delightful fairy tales sparkles with E. Nesbit's characteristic wit and charm, in bite-sized pieces that are perfect for bedtime. Follow a child king pulled from his nursery after the death of his great-great-however-many-grandfather, or two children on a quest to save England from a dragon infestation. Explore backwards islands, climb dragon-proof towers, and meet the cockatrice. Each tale is awash with humor and insight and dragon-slaying, and will leave you thundering for more.
America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. When John Monroe saves a mother and daughter from the clutches of a rogue English soldier, he is thrust into a world of intrigue and espionage. It's the height of the French and Indian war. In possession of a letter that exposes British troop movements, John must race to deceive the French before the rogue soldier can catch up to him and provide the actual intelligence the French need.
In Letter of Consolation, Pierre Viret--John Calvin's friend and a forgotten hero of the Reformation--comforts and encourages his people through intense persecution. This book is a new translation of Viret's writing during seasons of Roman Catholic oppression and up to the legalization of Protestant worship in France in 1559. The Letter explores not only the Protestant Christian response to tyranny and hardship, but also how to maintain faith as persecution recedes. As Viret wrote, "Let us always be like those who sail at sea. If no wind is blowing now, let us be even more careful and prepared for storms and tribulations."
