Murder by Misrule (Francis Bacon Mystery #1)

Author: Castle, AnnaPart of a Series: Francis Bacon Mystery

Francis Bacon is charged with investigating the murder of a fellow barrister at Gray’s Inn. He recruits his unwanted protégé Thomas Clarady to do the tiresome legwork. The son of a privateer, Clarady will do anything to climb the Elizabethan social ladder. Bacon’s powerful uncle Lord Burghley suspects Catholic conspirators of the crime, but other motives quickly emerge. Rival barristers contend for the murdered man’s legal honors and wealthy clients. Highly-placed courtiers are implicated as the investigation reaches from Whitehall to the London streets. Bacon does the thinking; Clarady does the fencing. Everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve. Even the brilliant Francis Bacon is at a loss — and in danger — until he sees through the disguises of the season of Misrule.

Sovereign of Stars (The She-King #3)

Author: Hawker, Libbie | Ironside, L.M.Part of a Series: She-King

Hatshepsut has fulfilled her divine destiny and taken the Pharaoh’s throne. But she knows her position is precarious. In all Egypt’s long history, never has a woman ruled as king — and Hatshepsut must use all the cleverness and bravery at her disposal to keep the reins of power from tangling in her fist.

As she wrestles with foreign enemies and domestic politics, her heart becomes ever more troubled. Her daughter Neferure, distant and strange since infancy, is chosen by one goddess in particular: Hathor, the Sovereign of Stars, she who wears seven faces — and not all her faces are gentle.

Her fight to retain her hold on power, peace, and Neferure will carry her on an incomparable journey from Egypt’s Black Land across the deadly heat of the Red Land, over the sea to the legendary kingdom of Punt. There, in the god’s own valley, she must confront the bleakness of fate, the totality of loss, and the terrifying frailty of eternity.

L. M. Ironside’s celebrated saga of the Thutmosides continues with Book Three: Sovereign of Stars.

Thinara King (The Child of the Erinyes #2)

Author: Lochlann, RebeccaPart of a Series: Child of the Erinyes

Book Two, The Child of the Erinyes series. Historical fantasy.

Goddess Athene’s white-hot rage incinerates Callisti and inflames the seas. Crete is left in ruins.

Chrysaleon of Mycenae inherits the crown of an annihilated world.

As death looms closer, he stumbles upon an ancient prophecy foretelling the rise of the Thinara King. This ruler will possess unimaginable power and upend sacred traditions. Commandeering the title could save his life. But it could also destroy everything he has fought to achieve, and create an easy path for the brother he hates to step in and steal it all.

Will love transform him, or will he betray Aridela and defy the obligation of the labyrinth?

The epic Bronze Age tale continues as Athene tests her champions beyond endurance, beyond rescue, beyond salvation.

“At the end of oblivion lies hope, and only she can find it.”
