Book Description
Erik Steiner, Captain of the Queen’s Guard of Nolvaria, and Aleed Ravenwing, commander of the elite 43rd Corps of the Northern Dwarven Kingdom, two soldiers who meet on the field of battle and form an unlikely friendship. During the battle with the Vampire Lord, Scapus the Putrid, Captain Steiner is initiated into the company of those who carry weapons known as Crossleaf Blades. In fulfilling a promise to return to the scene of the battle one year later, the Captain receives his own Crossleaf Blades and learns what it truly means to carry such weapons. He soon discovers he is to become the guardian of a strange young girl he names Hope. Hope represents the only chance the northern kingdoms have against Lord Nakaret, the Soulless One, who seeks to overrun the kingdoms with his armies of Undead warriors. The mysterious members of the Brotherhood of the Eternal Light inform the Captain that he must deliver Hope into the very presence of the Soulless One, and only then can she attempt to save the northern kingdoms. Accompanied by Commander Ravenwing, Captain Steiner and Hope begin their journey south and quickly find they are being hunted by the resurrected priests of Lord Nakaret, known as Whispers.

Book Description
This volume is a monograph of the genus Diplusodon (Lythraceae), written by the world authority on this plant group. Diplusodon is a monophyletic genus of shrubs and subshrubs, with showy, 6-merous, actinomorphic flowers, and floral tubes on which the sepals alternate with conspicuous epicalyx segments. The capsular fruit contains winged seeds and, uniquely for the family, is divided by a bipartite placenta with two semi-lunate septa. Diplusodon is the second largest genus in the Lythraceae and occurs mostly in the Cerrado Biome, the floristically diverse savannah that covers more than two million km2 of the Central Brazilian Plateau, extending west into Bolivia, south to Paraguay and east to the Caatinga. A total of 104 species and eight varieties are recognized in the genus, for which 46 lectotypes, one neotype, one new status and one new combination are designated, nine new species are described, and 15 taxa are placed in synonymy. New information on floral and vegetative morphology, pollen, cytology, chemistry, floral biology, and habitat are provided for the genus. In addition, keys to the species are accompanied by descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and assignment of conservation status.
