Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of the Lives of Noble Women In selecting the subjects of his biographical sketches, the author has endeavoured to fix upon women who have been not less distinguished by their domestic than by their public virtues; upon women who have been Christians faithful to the end, and patriots firm in their loyalty to their country, as well as upon women illustrious as wives, mothers, daughters, or sisters. The sphere in which woman influences us for good is much wider than society sometimes supposes; and the pages of history record innumerable examples of her heroic devotion and constancy to a great purpose. It is well that these examples should be kept before the eyes of the younger female members of our families; and that they should be encouraged to aspire to a high standard of duty, while not forgetting that their true happiness will always lie within the home circle.

Book Description
Society was rocked when the Cathedral appointed Allegra, Contessa of Marsina, to negotiate the delicate peace talks between the rebelling mage slaves and the various states. Not only was she a highborn mage, she was a nonbeliever and a vocal objector against the supposed demonic origins of witchcraft. Demons weren’t real, she’d argued, and therefore the subjection of mages was unlawful. That was all before the first assassination attempt. That was before Allegra heard the demonic shrieks. All before everything changed. Now Allegra and her personal guards race to stabilize the peace before the entire known world explodes into war with not just itself, but with the abyss from beyond. So much for demons not being real.
