Child of Air, Water, Earth or Fire: now that she is thirteen Storm must undertake The Choosing and be claimed by one of the Elementals, which will determine her whole life's work. But for Storm, daughter of a father murdered by Water and a warrior mother claimed by Earth, there will be no easy destiny. The Elementals bestow her with a great and terrible gift. Storm-bringer. Storm-rider. Storm-queller. Storm has powers that no one, not even the island Elders, can understand. And when the Drowned Ones - a savage band of pirates who roam the seas on floating towns - attack her island, will her powers help her to save the people she loves, or is her fate to betray everything she holds dear? Soon Storm faces a decision that will change her life - and that of everyone who lives on her island - forever. A powerful new fantasy series from Ellen Renner, prize-winning author of Tribute and Castle of Shadows. "Familiar themes are invigorated in this assured novel; its ethical conundrums, deft characterisation and sense of magic are reminiscent of Ursula K Le Guin's Earthsea series." - Guardian, Books of the Month "A whirlwind adventure which will sweep you into its enchanted world. At its epicentre is a strong heroine in a coming of age quest that will leave you breathless." - South Wales Evening Post, Children's Book of the Week "This is a strong story that had me gripped in an instant and has left me wanting for more with each and every chapter. So I can't wait for the next book" - The Reader Teacher (blog) "A strong start to the series which establishes the world and character and sets out Storm's dilemma. This will doubtless be a hit and I look forward to finding out how the story continues." - Book Murmuration (blog)

Storm De'Larosa has had her run of bad luck and misfortune, along with mistakes that now had her on the run, constantly moving from place to place with her infant son. Death and darkness stalked her every move, striking down everyone close to her. Having fought shadows all her life, she was coming to the point where there was not much fight left in her. She has lost nearly everything in her life, and the only thing she has left to protect was her son who is, even at a young age, showing remarkable abilities that must remain hidden for their safety. Storm was coming to the end of her rope with nowhere left to run. Finding temporary sanctuary was her only goal. That among survival. In her travels, Storm comes across Rhys Airaldi and his unusual family, who, to her great dismay, insists on helping her and her son. She could not be more displeased than if they had offered to give her a lobotomy. The last thing she wanted was more blood on her hands. Though, there was also the fact that Storm was keeping a secret that she dared not share with a soul, let alone with complete strangers. The Airaldis, however, seemed to have a dark history of their own that dated back centuries. Rhys himself seemed determined to keep the past just that, the past, even as it becomes apparent that that was a fruitless endeavor. Doom lurked like a specter, ready to strike, and as they face the perils of the unknown, dark secrets are brought to light and family ties are put to the test. Now in a race against time with their lives inexplicably destined to be intertwined by fate, they can only ask themselves who was carrying the more damning secret? Hopefully the answer didn't come much too late.

ISBN: 1317198301

The European Witch-Hunt seeks to explain why thousands of people, mostly lower-class women, were deliberately tortured and killed in the name of religion and morality during three centuries of intermittent witch-hunting throughout Europe and North America. Combining perspectives from history, sociology, psychology and other disciplines, this book provides a comprehensive account of witch-hunting in early modern Europe. Julian Goodare sets out an original interpretation of witch-hunting as an episode of ideologically-driven persecution by the ‘godly state’ in the era of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. Full weight is also given to the context of village social relationships, and there is a detailed analysis of gender issues. Witch-hunting was a legal operation, and the courts’ rationale for interrogation under torture is explained. Panicking local elites, rather than central governments, were at the forefront of witch-hunting. Further chapters explore folk beliefs about legendary witches, and intellectuals’ beliefs about a secret conspiracy of witches in league with the Devil. Witch-hunting eventually declined when the ideological pressure to combat the Devil’s allies slackened. A final chapter sets witch-hunting in the context of other episodes of modern persecution. This book is the ideal resource for students exploring the history of witch-hunting. Its level of detail and use of social theory also make it important for scholars and researchers.

Sometimes, it's safer to trust the Wolf rather than the Prince... After her mother’s death, Asajia discovers that the sheriff is planning to confiscate her inheritance, and force her into indentured servitude, another way of forcing her into his bed. Rather than accept her fate, she escapes into the darkly enchanted Bramble Fel Forest—a forest cursed with the perpetual breath of Winter, nightmarish creatures, and dark, dangerous secrets. Asajia would rather take her chances with the real monsters than submit to the vile man. Unfortunately, the sheriff doesn’t like to lose, and he sends a raiding party to find her with orders to bring her back at any cost. Once in the shadow of the forest, Asajia hopes she’s escaped. The raiders track her down and she’s outnumbered with nowhere to run. A band of outcast wolf shifters arrives just in time to rescue her, and she soon finds herself pulled to their leader Bran, who is equally smitten with her. But when his brother, the prince, summons the riders back to the Castle Eleago, everything begins to go wrong. Prince Karehl is far more dangerous than any of the creatures in the wild, and he takes an interest in Asajia. When he arrests her beloved Bran, Asajia knows she has to escape or become Karehl’s prisoner. Along with some of the Lorani—the riders of the Wolf People—she heads deep into the forest. Will her choice lead to her ruin or will it give her a life she never imagined possible?
