Publisher's Summary:

On a cold night in 1692, two young girls are caught up in the divining games of a slave woman - and then begin to act very strangely when the game goes wrong. Suddenly, Salem Village is turned upside down as everyone fears that witches may be involved.

Six months later, as news of the girls strange behavior becomes known, fear and suspicion overwhelm a nearby farming community, pitting neighbors against neighbors and turning friends into enemies. When Rebecca Eames makes one careless utterance during a verbal attack on her family, she is falsely accused of witchcraft. After her fate is decided by three magistrates, Rebecca must endure a prison sentence during which she and her fellow captives have no choice but to valiantly struggle to find humanity and camaraderie among dire conditions.

In this novel based on a true story, a woman wrongly imprisoned during the seventeenth-century witchcraft trials comes full circle where she must determine if she can somehow resume her life, despite all she has endured.

Publisher's Summary:

Elissa Rubria Honoria is a Vestal Virgin - priestess of the sacred flame, a visionary, and one of the most powerful women in Rome. Vestals are sacrosanct, sworn to chastity on penalty of death, but the emperor, Nero, holds himself above the law. He pursues Elissa, engaging her in a deadly game of wits and sexuality. Or is Elissa really the pursuer? She stumbles on dark secrets. No longer trusting Roman gods, she follows a new god, Jesus of Nazareth, jeopardizing her life and the future of The Roman Empire. (From Tales from the Adytum collection.)

Please note: Due to the setting and the times, the book includes several scenes involving deviant sex - suggestive rather than graphic - and not more than a few paragraphs.

Critic Reviews:

"A writer of real talent, a promising new voice." (New York Times best-selling author, Terry Brooks)

"Suzanne Tyrpak weaves a spell that utterly enchants and delights. Her writing is pure magic." (New York Times best-selling author, Tess Gerritsen)

Title: Chicago's Headmistress

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Step back in time to Prohibition and prostitution during the Roaring '20s. Follow Giulietta Bracca's notorious rise to wealth and power, from street urchin in 1905 Genoa, Italy, to the headmistress of Night School, Chicago's most popular and innovative men's club in the 1920s. Along the way Giulietta plays a deadly game of one-upmanship with men who use her, abuse her, and fall head-over-heels in love with her. This quick-study seductress soon learns to give as good as she gets, and with few regrets - those so devastating they will haunt her into eternity. But there is one man Giulietta will never forget: the immigrant bootlegger she gave up too soon and will stop at nothing to lure back, even if it means jeopardizing all she holds dear.

A prequel and partial parallel to Giacoletto's Italian/American saga The Family Angel, Chicago's Headmistress can also stand alone. Every story has more than one side and within a generational saga many stories link and overlap. And as in real life, their endings rarely dissolve into happily ever after.

A must-listen for fans of The Family Angel, Family Deceptions, The Godfather, and HBO's Boardwalk Empire.

Title: Fallen Angels

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

A highly entertaining, wonderfully colourful story, now revealed to be written by one of our favourite historical novelists.The gilded family had been the envy and the pride of England for centuries. Never had the Lazenders seemed more powerful or more wealthy. And never had the unseen means of their destruction seemed so closeYet the heir to the estate was absent. Toby Lazender worked for the British in Revolutionary France - where he hunted down the men who had murdered the innocent girl he loved. It was his sister, Campion, who oversaw the family's affairs at the little kingdom' of Lazen Castle.But Lazen is, unknowingly, a house under siege.

Fallen Angels - among the most powerful and dangerous men in Europe - are plotting to bring revolution to England. To succeed, they need money, and the Lazender fortune can provide it. The key to the fortune is control of Campion's future. A web of deceit closes around Lazen, drawing Campion ever closer to a subtle trap that has been laid just for her. Her only hope for survival lies with the Gypsy - her brother's broodingly aloof horse-master - a man whose loyalties are at best uncertain.

Fallen Angels is a powerful blend of passion, adventure and intrigue, played out in the shadow of the guillotine and the sunlit splendour of an English estate. It is a worthy successor to A Crowning Mercy, the first chronicle of the Lazender family.

Publisher's Summary:

Austin Voronkov is many things. He is an engineer, an inventor, an immigrant from Russia to Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1913, where he gets a job at a rifle factory. At the house where he rents a room, he falls in love with a woman named Julia, who becomes his wife and the mother of his three children. When Austin is wrongly accused of attending anarchist gatherings his limited grasp of English condemns him to his fate as a deportee, retreating with his new bride to his home in Russia, where he and his young family become embroiled in the Civil War and must flee once again, to Mexico.

While Julia and the children are eventually able to return to the U.S., Austin becomes indefinitely stranded in Mexico City because of the black mark on his record. He keeps a daily correspondence with Julia, as they each exchange their hopes and fears for the future, and as they struggle to remain a family across a distance of two countries. Austin becomes convinced that his engineering designs will be awarded patents, thereby paving the way for the government to approve his return and award his long sought-after American citizenship. At the same time he becomes convinced that an FBI agent is monitoring his every move, with the intent of blocking any possible return to the United States.

Austin and Julia's struggles build to crisis and heartrending resolution in this dazzling, sweeping debut. The novel is based in part on Vanessa Manko's family history and the life of a grandfather she never knew. Manko used this history as a jumping off point for the novel, which focuses on borders between the past and present, sanity and madness, while the very real U.S.-Mexico border looms. The novel also explores how loss reshapes and transforms lives. It is a profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Prag, im Jahr des Herrn 1427. Hinter der Apotheke "Zum Erzengel" betreibt ein Kreis von Magiern ein geheimes Laboratorium samt Bibliothek. Hier wird auch der Medikus Reinmar von Bielau, genannt Reynevan, häufig gesehen. Was dem taboritischen Geheimdienst nicht entgeht, der Reynevan des Überfalls auf einen Steuereintreiber verdächtigt und deshalb beobachtet. Der Papst hat gerade seine Bulle "Salvatoris Omnium" verkündet, in welcher er zum Kreuzzug gegen die böhmischen Ketzer aufruft.

Reynevan nutzt die Wirren der kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen, um der Stadt den Rücken zu kehren. Denn die Begegnung mit Jan Smiick von Smiice, der seinen Bruder auf dem Gewissen hat und auch ihn umbringen wollte, hat Reynevan auf den Gedanken gebracht, nach Schlesien zurückzukehren und Rache zu suchen. Auch hofft er immer noch auf eine Lösung für den Zauber, der über seinem Gefährten Samson liegt eine solche Lösung könnte sich, wie man ihm zuträgt, am ehesten auf Schloss Trosky finden, wo der Magier Rupilius residiert. Reynevan hat also wieder einmal ziemlich viel im Kopf in welchem ihm außerdem ständig die angebetete Nicoletta herumspukt.
