Book Description
USA Today bestseller For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain—time enough for their nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophecy has spoken of a union that will set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth than she could have imagined. Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. But if she is to succeed, she must bide her time and find a way to outsmart the clever, fast, and inhumanly strong trolls that hold her captive. But while awaiting the perfect opportunity, Cécile unexpectedly falls for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. Their love gradually changes her perspective, opening her heart to new friends and opening her eyes to the hardships of the enslaved half-troll, half-human creatures of Trollus. As rebellion brews and the political games of Trollus escalate, Cécile becomes more than a trapped father’s daughter. She becomes a princess, a witch, and the hope of a people—someone who has the power to change Trollus forever.

Book Description
The aftermath of the Battle of Agnipur has set the sun completely on the lives of The King’s Nine. As Kalith’s search for his lost father continues, the nine gifted warriors are dealing with the recent murder of their mentor and adjusting to their new frivolous yet hectic lives in the palace, while trying to maintain their sanity against being constantly judged as freaks, paraded around like circus-men and derided for being the new king’s First Men in an unstable post-war kingdom. As The Nine try to find their foothold, while trying to stick together and survive as a team, a blood-curdling note from the forgotten past leads them into the musky cages of the snake infested land of the Vish Kanyas - the Village of Darkness. The Nine face their biggest nightmare yet as they encounter the nerve-wracking and enigmatic Black Princess and her pet Turbans, while trying to decipher the gruesome, twisted truth behind the macabre racket. An abduction of one of their own takes them into invading the cursed land of Ubhakrat, where accompanied by a valorous navigator with a vendetta of his own, The Nine finally stumble upon their ultimate fate - the reckoning of Tiyasa’s malediction. Choking on the prophecy that mind numbingly wove everything together and battling the twisted monsters unleashed by this strange land, The Nine ultimately step up to meet their nemesis - indestructibly powerful, brilliantly all calculating and paramount super villains - the Triad.
Benedictine Maledictions
Author: Lester K. LittlePublisher: Cornell University Press

Pages : 318
Book Description
"'May they be cursed in town and cursed in the fields. May their barns be cursed and may their bones be cursed. May the fruit of their loins be cursed as well as the fruit of their lands.' French monks of the Middle Ages hurled curses like these at their enemies, seeking supernatural assistance when no secular judge could help them. In a long-awaited book written with elegance and erudition, Lester Little undertakes the first full-length study of these maledictions.... The book's focus is the way that religious communities—especially the monks who followed Benedict's Rule and hence were known by his name—used liturgical cursing to safeguard their integrity and their possessions, against both laymen and other ecclesiastics." —Journal of Social History
