The Dragon Sword
The Elves have Landed! Several ships carrying elves from some distant land have anchored off the coast of Seaside Castle giving the Elnaran elves the opportunity to finally discover where they originally came from and how they ended up in Elnara centuries ago. But why have the elves risked crossing treacherous waters full of blue dragons to come to the fairy kingdom? They claim to be in search of an ancient sword whose power is the key to bringing peace to their war torn kingdom. Princess Elizabeth and Lord Edric agree to help them, but matters become complicated when they learn that their guests are at war with a human kingdom that has ties to Elnara’s neighbor, the Kingdom of Kellmorgen. Elizabeth and Edric must proceed with caution as they travel Elnara assisting the visitors with their quest, while they attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the Dragon Sword.
Supersapientia: Berthold of Moosburg and the Divine Science of the Platonists
"This study examines the motivations and doctrinal coherence of the Commentary on the Elements of Theology of Proclus written by Berthold of Moosburg, O.P. (+c. 1361/1363). It provides an overview of Berthold's biography and intellectual contexts, his manuscript remains, and a partial edition of his annotations on Macrobius and Proclus. Through a close analysis of the three prefaces to the Commentary, giving special attention to his sources, it traces Berthold's elaboration of Platonism as a soteriological science. The content of this science is then presented in a systematic reconstruction of Berthold's cosmology and anthropology. The volume includes an English translation of the three fundamental prefaces of the Commentary"--

But Bridget is hiding a secret from everyone, a secret that will tear their lives apart and will force Princess Elizabeth to meet her destiny.
Translator Positioning in Characterisation
Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS), to three translations of a classic Chinese text, Zhao proposes a new model for linking translator positioning with translational norms in the target culture. Zhao combines the Appraisal model from SFL with a characterisation model to describe the role of translator positioning in character construction. Looking at three different translations of the classic Chinese novel Luotuo Xiangzi, she uses corpus tools to compare the opening and ending chapters of each translation, identifying textual patterns of translator positioning. She then analyses and compares the cover designs of the translated novels and reconstructs the translational norms governing the translator’s positioning in characterisation. In doing so she contributes to DTS by developing a systematic and consistent framework to analyse verbal and visual elements in translated novels. Her multimodal analysis also provides insights into the broader patterns of translated language. An insightful read for scholars interested in both theoretical and empirical approaches to translation studies.
The English Royal Family of America, from Jamestown to the American Revolution
For about a century and a half after they arrived from England, America's first permanent colonists considered themselves to be English. They were proud of their heritage and loyal to their country. England's royal family truly was the royal family of America--until the era of the American Revolution, when the colonies fought for their independence from England and its rulers. Elizabeth I, James I, Charles I, Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II, Anne, George I, George II, and George III--the English royals who were also the royals of early America--are all covered in this work. It begins with Queen Elizabeth I, as it was during her rule that Sir Walter Ralegh established his settlements in America, and ends with King George III, as it was during his rule that the American Revolution began. A biographical sketch is provided for each royal and his or her spouse and legitimate children. Brief mention is made of mistresses and illegitimate children.
