"Day of War" is a gritty, intense, stylistic portrait of the Mighty Men of Israel--a rag-tag band of disgruntled warriors on the run with David, the soon-to-be king, whose legendary deeds are recorded in 2 Samuel 23 and 1 Chronicles 11.
David and the Mighty Men continue to struggle against the Philistines across the dark forests and sun-drenched valleys of Israel, leading to an epic chariot battle on the plains of Philistia. As domestic turmoil begins to encompass the cities, David turns his attention to the capture of the impregnable fortress of Jebus to establish a new capital, and the Mighty Men must rely upon the mysterious supernatural power known as "the covering" in order to complete the task.

King, warrior, and lover Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men-the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era. His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, read-haired goddess of sensuality. Set against the barbaric splendors of the tenth century, Lion of Ireland is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled. Morgan Llywelyn has written one of the greatest novels of Irish history. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
