One last deadly assignment and a promise of freedom. All lies. English-professor-turned-antiquities-thief Aubrey de Lune wants nothing more than to reclaim the dream she left behind--locate her daughter and maybe find love again. Years ago, she gave up everything to save her daughter. Aubrey became the favorite employee of the bloodthirsty Adriano family, all to stay alive and protect Lilah. Her latest acquisition, a rare manuscript thought to have been written by Joan of Arc, holds a shocking secret with the power to destroy the Adrianos... or Aubrey and her own bloodline. Either way, after this assignment, the Adrianos won't need her anymore. Eric Cabordes, bodyguard and henchman, is devoted to protecting the tiniest Adriano heir from every threat, including cat burglars hired to loot whatever artifacts can increase the family's global dominance. He intentionally botched Aubrey's last job to keep her far away, but she showed up anyway with a Medieval relic and her request for early retirement denied. When the little boy accidentally stows away with Aubrey as she flees, Eric must reach them first, either to drag Aubrey back for punishment or to offer her a real chance at happiness. Can Aubrey survive one last impossible heist while she and Eric keep both the Adriano heir and her own daughter safe? Dark magic, black ops, and soul-stealing sex. Angels, demons, witches, empaths, and English professors all conceal the Secret Lives of Librarians, the Historical Society, and the ancient priesthood of a long-dead god.

"Jeanne D'Arc: her life and death" is an historical novel that covers the life of Joan of Arc (Jeanne D'Arc) nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans." This book looks into the adventures of this incredible lady throughout her life. It is a book by Margaret Oliphant, a Scottish novelist, and historical writer.

Dancing in the Dark is the title of a 1930s love song that has a philosophical edge, and in its own way encapsulates the central problem, What is life about? Can we possibly come to terms with life's vicissitudes, and can these be understood within a religious framework? The problem of theodicy is the most intractable issue in the philosophy of religion. It calls into question the vexed supplementary problems of revelation, free will, and determinism. Indeed, for would-be believers, it undermines the very rationality of their existence. Consequently, it has been the subject of interminable debate without any completely satisfactory solution.

From the author of the acclaimed She-Wolves, the complex, surprising, and engaging story of one of the most remarkable women of the medieval world—as never told before. Helen Castor tells afresh the gripping story of the peasant girl from Domremy who hears voices from God, leads the French army to victory, is burned at the stake for heresy, and eventually becomes a saint. But unlike the traditional narrative, a story already shaped by the knowledge of what Joan would become and told in hindsight, Castor’s Joan of Arc: A History takes us back to fifteenth century France and tells the story forwards. Instead of an icon, she gives us a living, breathing woman confronting the challenges of faith and doubt, a roaring girl who, in fighting the English, was also taking sides in a bloody civil war. We meet this extraordinary girl amid the tumultuous events of her extraordinary world where no one—not Joan herself, nor the people around her—princes, bishops, soldiers, or peasants—knew what would happen next. Adding complexity, depth, and fresh insight into Joan’s life, and placing her actions in the context of the larger political and religious conflicts of fifteenth century France, Joan of Arc: A History is history at its finest and a surprising new portrait of this remarkable woman. Joan of Arc: A History features an 8-page color insert.

First published in 1931, this is the first unabridged English translation of the documents pertaining to the trial of Joan of Arc. The basis of the translation is drawn from an edition of the text published in 1841 by Jules Quicherat, but elements are also derived from a number of the manuscripts originally translated into Latin. As notes were taken daily by several scribes, the text provides important insight into the trial, its chronology and its major players, as well as Joan’s character and intellect. With a detailed introduction and beautiful illustrations, this is a fascinating reissue that will be of value to students of medieval history, particularly those with an interest in medieval hagiography, heresy during the fourteenth century, ecclesiastical law and the practice of Church courts.

Joan of Arc left home when she was fifteen. At sixteen she led the French army to victory. At nineteen she was burned to death at the stake. Angel or witch? Saint or heretic? Messenger from God or crazy teenager? Who was Joan of Arc? A true coming of age story about one of the most intriguing women in history.
