Book Description
The Devil's Dominion examines the use of folk magic by ordinary men and women in early New England. The book describes in vivid detail the magical techniques used by settlers and the assumptions which underlaid them. Godbeer argues that layfolk were generally far less consistent in their beliefs and actions than their ministers would have liked; even church members sometimes turned to magic. The Devil's Dominion reveals that the relationship between magical and religious belief was complex and ambivalent: some members of the community rejected magic altogether, but others did not. Godbeer argues that the controversy surrounding astrological prediction in early New England paralleled clerical condemnation of magical practice, and that the different perspectives on witchcraft engendered by magical tradition and Puritan doctrine often caused confusion and disagreement when New Englanders sought legal punishment of witches.

His sense of vengeance against de Velt has been his guiding force for years. Gathering a powerful mercenary army, Bretton rages through Wales, emulating de Velt's reign of terror, killing and destroying, moving towards a target he has long planned for - abducting one of Jax de Velt's children in order to lure Jax into his trap. Discovering that Jax's eldest daughter is a novice nun at Alberbury Priory, he burns down the priory in his quest to abduct Lady Allaston de Velt. Successful in his endeavor, he sends word to de Velt: come to me or your daughter will suffer. His perfect revenge is planned.

Book Description
The war that began at Emin-Tal has entered its second year. Morschen traitors openly serve The Kindler and others of the Seven Devils, unafraid of their former rulers. They hunt down any who would oppose The Kindler's new order. At the beginining of the New Deshik Wars, the Morschcoda swore an oath of unity, but they continue to mistrust each other. Guinira Estaleth, Queen of Deshik Anaria, has used Makret Druoth's considerable skill as a General to take advantage of their disunion to win countless victories over the rapidly diminishing Morschledu Remnant. Daken Calmi and Xari Gundara, the two Morschcoda most affected by the betrayals of so many Morschen, continue to push Daliana Marcarry for more drastic action against the Seven Devils, but they always fear that their small circle of leaders has been infiltrated. Their only hopes are the ghost of a man two years dead, and the man that killed him.
