Slayer
During the 17th century, the Holy Church trained and employed Slayers to eliminate preternaturals. They were often provided with an intermediary who served as a combination of servant and sparring partner. Slayer Alessandro and his lover, José, have devoted over two decades to the cause. During that time, Alessandro has learned that most non-humans just want to be left alone to live in peace -- something he dreams of himself. When a preternatural threat arises close to home, something previously unheard of, Alessandro decides this mission will be his last. Unfortunately for Alessandro, someone else has the same idea.

Patience, Princess Catherine
This “rewarding historical novel” recounts the dramatic story of Catherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives (Booklist). England anxiously awaits Prince Arthur’s betrothed—the Spanish princess who will be its future queen. But when Arthur dies not long after the wedding, Catherine of Aragon’s fate becomes uncertain. Will the king and Catherine’s parents arrange a marriage with Arthur’s brother, Henry, or will she return to Spain a widow? Through all the turmoil, the young princess’s resolve remains unshaken. She will one day be England’s queen—no matter how long it takes…. This novel in the Young Royals series by the New York Times-bestselling author follows Catherine as she “develops from a callow young girl into a woman who fights for her rights as much as the times permitted” (School Library Journal).

The Dream of Christian Nagasaki
Nagasaki, on the west coast of the Japanese island of Kyushu, is known in the West for having been the target of an atomic bomb attack on August 9, 1945. Less well known is that the city was founded by Europeans, Jesuit missionaries who arrived in the area in the second half of the 16th century. The Jesuits had come to convert the Japanese. After baptizing a Japanese lord or daimyo of the area, they established Nagasaki in 1571 to provide the Portuguese a safe harbor in his domain. Profits for the daimyo and the Japanese who converted to Christianity soon followed. This book is the first comprehensive history in any language of the rise and fall of Christian Nagasaki (1560-1640). The author provides a narrative of the city's early years from both the European and Japanese perspectives.
