Book Description
Excerpt from The Farm of the Dagger There is a road, of almost Roman straightness, that cuts the central wastes of Dartmoor and connects the town of Tavistock with the village of Moretonhampstead, twenty miles distant. About midway this track leaps down over the broad brow of Merripit Hill, plunges into the hamlet of Post-bridge, and crosses the eastern arm of Dart. A few yards below this passage there shall still be seen, spanning the river, an ancient and famous bridge of the sort known as "cyclopean." It is dry-built with enormous masses of granite, and may be considered of a handsome but not remote antiquity. In the eighteenth century, and perhaps earlier, our forefathers pack-horses passed that way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

CHAPTER XVIII NICE QUESTIONS DANIEL COFFIN, in exchange for a big breakfast and the spirits that he craved, gave his word that he would not attempt to escape. He ate and drank enormously and detailed his adventures. On Newcombe's side it was explained to him that a young man whom Eve had loved was slain in an engagement with an American ship of war. "Poor little lass, she was right then," he said. "I kinder thought 'twas part of her madness. She vowed my countrymen had sent her lover ter heaven; and that now another of 'em kept her from going after him." "'Tis a nice question where her'd have gone, saving your presence," murmured Prowse to his master. "Have Jack started to ride to Moreton for the doctor? That's much more to the point," answered John Newcombe. "This coil have turned her head for the minute," he continued, "but God send that she's not to lose her mind. Better she should be dead in earnest than any such dreadful thing as that o'ertakes her." The day dragged wearily along. Coffin, closely watched by two labourers, spent most of his time in eating and drinking, for the tearful mother of Eve knew that this man had saved her daughter's life and would have given up her own freedom to establish his. Once when John Newcombe was out of the way, Ann approached the American prisoner and slipped a little packet into his hand. "They'm some of my secret savings," she said. "I meant some day to surprise my husband with them, for he'm hard to please, an' this saved money would have pleased him; but if I had a hundred pounds instead of five, I'd give 'em to you now wi' a blessing. I can't put you free, but this money may better your lot upalong to Prince Town." "And thank you kindly, ma'am, I'm sure. I don't like ter take it, yet 'twill be...

Book Description
From debut author Daniel Abraham comes A Shadow in Summer, the first book in the Long Price Quartet fantasy series. The powerful city-state of Saraykeht is a bastion of peace and culture, a major center of commerce and trade. Its economy depends on the power of the captive spirit, Seedless, an andat bound to the poet-sorcerer Heshai for life. Enter the Galts, a juggernaut of an empire committed to laying waste to all lands with their ferocious army. Saraykeht, though, has always been too strong for the Galts to attack, but now they see an opportunity. If they can dispose of Heshai, Seedless's bonded poet-sorcerer, Seedless will perish and the entire city will fall. With secret forces inside the city, the Galts prepare to enact their terrible plan. In the middle is Otah, a simple laborer with a complex past. Recruited to act as a bodyguard for his girlfriend's boss at a secret meeting, he inadvertently learns of the Galtish plot. Otah finds himself as the sole hope of Saraykeht, either he stops the Galts, or the whole city and everyone in it perishes forever. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
