Description:

Priced low to introduce you to a great series of books. Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and church men are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. This is the first book in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers at the dawn of Britain’s military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way. The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty feudal England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons rose against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting for control of the Mediterranean. This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to readers who enjoy books such as The Game of Thrones and authors such as Bernard Cornwell, Jeffrey Archer, C.S. Forester, Griff Hosker, Peter Darman, and Jerry Auteri. This exciting novel is not politically correct. It is, however, a very good read. The next book in the continuing saga is "The Archers' Castle." It is followed by "The Archers' Return" and more exciting tales as this great Medieval Times saga continues. The entire first six books of the saga are collected in one great Amazon eBook as "The Archers' Story." The next four novels after that are collected in "The Archers' Story: Part II." And there are even more. They will delight the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Jerry Auteri, C.S. Forester's Hornblower, and George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman.

Before The Porcelain Menagerie, Jillian Forsberg introduced readers to the dazzling and dangerous world of 18th-century Europe in The Rhino Keeper—a sweeping tale of wonder, obsession, and the fragile line between curiosity and control.

Based on the true story of a Dutch sea captain who toured the continent with an Indian rhinoceros named Clara, The Rhino Keeper brings to life an age when science, art, and spectacle collided in breathtaking—and sometimes perilous—ways.

2022 — College student Andrea Clarkson uncovers a centuries-old mystery in Holland: strange documents, a carved rhinoceros on an ancient grave, and a secret buried deep beneath the earth. What she finds will challenge her understanding of history—and of herself.

1740 — Ship captain Douwemout van der Meer possesses what no European has seen in generations: a living rhinoceros. Together, he and Clara travel across Europe, thrilling peasants and queens alike. But when devotion turns to obsession, and admiration to fear, Douwe must face the limits of his own wonder.

Among those enchanted by Clara is a young artist named Johann Joachim Kändler, whose porcelain creations capture the creature’s grace—and whose ambition will one day take center stage in Forsberg’s companion novel, The Porcelain Menagerie.

Narrated by Caroline Hewitt, The Rhino Keeper evokes the marvel of discovery and the danger of desire. Continue the journey with The Porcelain Menagerie, also from History Through Fiction—where the artist who sculpted Clara’s likeness becomes the master of a court built on fragile beauty.

A West Both Beautiful and Brutal

Graham Davidson is running from grief—but what he finds is a second chance buried deep in the wild heart of the American West.

It’s 1971, and Yellowstone is meant to be an escape. Scarred by the deaths of three siblings, Graham seeks solitude in the steaming basins and wind-swept ridges of the world’s first national park. But when a vision quest in a sacred thermal valley hurls him into 1871, he awakens to a raw frontier where danger rides every trail and survival depends on grit, gunpowder, and trust.

Thrown in with the Hayden Expedition, the real-life survey that opened the gates of Yellowstone to the world, Graham finds himself among mountain men, soldiers, and scientists braving a wilderness still ruled by wolves, grizzlies, and the spirit of the Plains tribes. Yet his greatest test comes from Makawee, a Crow guide whose courage and compassion force him to confront his own broken spirit.

As the frontier tests his courage and love reshapes his heart, Graham realizes that time itself has given him a gift few men ever receive—a chance to begin again. Should he ride back to the modern world that forgot the frontier—or stay with Makawee beneath the wide Western sky?

If you love authentic frontier adventure, star-crossed romance, and the redemptive power of the West, you’ll be captivated by Burning Ground.
