House of Blades (The Traveler’s Gate Trilogy Book 1)
By Will Wight
Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon’s village discovers that he’s a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he’ll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord. It may not be his destiny, but Simon’s determined to rescue his fellow villagers from certain death. Because who cares about prophecy, really?

The Last Revolution: 1688 and the Creation of the Modern World
By Patrick Dillon
The last successful invasion of England; mobs burning Catholic chapels; one King driven from his palace by night while another rode in at the head of a foreign army – the events of winter 1688 were among the most dramatic in our history. The settlement which followed would place England decisively on the path to freedom, toleration, parliamentary democracy – and empire. Few moments have done so much to shape this country as the ‘Glorious Revolution’. But 1688 would change England in other ways as well. This was the time of Isaac Newton’s scientific breakthroughs and John Locke’s philosophy. The 1690s would see free market ideas emerge, the first stockmarket boom and bust, the end of press censorship and the arrival of religious toleration. Newspapers opened. London became a mecca for leisure and conspicuous consumption. In decisive ways, the modern world was formed in these turbulent years.
