Book Description
The Young Prince and His Fate: Trapped in Time By: Jessica Wheeler This book continues the story of Ranvir, who is now married and with a child on the way. A tragic event makes him want to travel back in time. He ends up being trapped in time in a whole different world of what could’ve been. His journey is to get back to his own world before it’s too late. What makes the story interesting, is seeing Ranvir’s journey of trying to get back. He’s still learning that actions come with consequences. We finally see him start to realize that when he knows that he could possibly lose everything. What makes the message relevant is to not let fear get in the way of anything and everyone has it good until it’s gone. This is a lesson that Ranvir has to learn. What makes this book unique is that it’s inspired by the authors life in some ways. To say anymore would be a spoiler, all the authors ideas for the sequel were based off events that happened to her except the part of going back in time. One thing the author wants the readers to gain out of the story is to cherish every moment with your loved ones as tomorrow is never promised.

Book Description
The murder of the Princes in the Tower is the most famous cold case in British history. Traditionally considered victims of their ruthless uncle, there are other suspects too often and too easily discounted. There may be no definitive answer, but by delving into the context of their disappearance and the characters of the suspects, Matthew Lewis examines the motives and opportunities afresh, as well as asking a crucial but often overlooked question: what if there was no murder? What if Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, survived their uncle's reign and even that of their brother-in-law Henry VII? In this new and updated edition, compelling evidence is presented to suggest the Princes survived, which is considered alongside the possibility of their deaths to provide a rounded and complete assessment of the most fascinating mystery in history.

Book Description
“Bad behavior makes for entertaining history” in this bold history of Europe, the Middle East, and the men who ruled them in the early sixteenth century (Kirkus Reviews). John Julius Norwich—“the very model of a popular historian”—is acclaimed for his distinctive ability to weave together a fascinating narrative through vivid detail, colorful anecdotes, and captivating characters. Here, he explores four leaders—Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, and Suleiman—who led their countries during the Renaissance (The Wall Street Journal). Francis I of France was the personification of the Renaissance, and a highly influential patron of the arts and education. Henry VIII, who was not expected to inherit the throne but embraced the role with gusto, broke with the Roman Catholic Church and appointed himself head of the Church of England. Charles V was the most powerful man of the time, and unanimously elected Holy Roman Emperor. And Suleiman the Magnificent—who stood apart as a Muslim—brought the Ottoman Empire to its apogee of political, military, and economic power. These men collectively shaped the culture, religion, and politics of their respective domains. With remarkable erudition, John Julius Norwich offers “an important history, masterfully written,” indelibly depicting four dynamic characters and how their incredible achievements—and obsessions with one another—changed Europe forever (The Washington Times).
