This book is a story of murder, love, and revenge set in the early 1400s when the Lollard heresy, which believed the Bible should be read in English so that all could hear the Word of God without reinterpretation from the clergy, was being persecuted and innocent victims were burned at the stake. All this is recounted against the background of the Hundred Years War between England and France and the climactic Battle of Agincourt.

An unconventional and entertaining account of travels through German, the Alps and Italy

Once again, Thomas Taylor gives us a look over the shoulder of world-class protectors. Two years after the events in Mortal Shield, Lieutenant David Armstrong and his team from the Governor's Security Division return to find themselves and their protectee -- Missouri Governor William Ulysses Stovall -- in harm's way. Stovall has teamed up with a firebrand Islamic cleric, Imam Adel al-Walid, to take on Islamic extremists. When they announce a high profile town hall meeting with national impact at the historic Gateway Arch in St. Louis, a group of violent homegrown terrorists decide it's the ideal target. What follows is a race inside the upper reaches of the Arch with terrorists closing in on Stovall and his protectors from all sides. Armstrong and his team will once again be tested to the limits of their abilities, their dedication, and their willingness to put their lives on the line to protect the First Family. Not everyone will make it out alive.

Lily on the Northern Sky are images of human behaviour and a humble narration of existential paradoxes, though, without love and emotion, life becomes meaningless. Superstitions must not supersede our living being. ‘Twins in the womb’ gives a classical narrative of the killing of a girl child who resists dying. In the womb of the mother, when the sister asks her brother, ‘You go first, dear brother, They will be happy to get a boy. Then I come to be overlooked, Perhaps I shall not die as a coy.’ She puts a question mark on the very existence of womanhood. Similarly, the girl ‘Laxmi’ who was born and brought up on the platform of a railway station and destined to become mother at the age of fifteen, finds hyenas everywhere. ‘Alice’ has described how ‘Fooling others’ is a big-time lucrative profession in India.
