It's not the first secret that the twelve-year-old Stephunos has had to keep.

He longs to see Duke Belen dead. New allies might give him the chance. Still, life must go on. Despite the sudden addition of life altering facts, Stephunos and his group of friends must learn to deal with new technologies while continuing to live as they always had.

Life has never been normal for young Stephunos. There's his hyper little brother, the fact that he is a young nobleman, a warrior, and a mage. If his best friend, Chara, isn't beating him senseless, his little brother is playing practical jokes on him. Even though he is twelve, he is already the best swordsman around. Well at least in practice, since he has never had to really fight anyone. Stephunos' already unusual life is about to get even stranger, as he and his friend set out on a grand trading adventure. Stephunos and his brother must keep their magical powers hidden, even from their friends, for these are very dangerous times for anyone with such powers. This isn't easy when there is a vampire around and you are being hunted by an evil mage. Then there is a strange island, far to the North, where there are very intelligent dragons, unicorns, and many more mystical creatures waiting to be rediscovered. While Stephunos is away, Stephunos' parents must defend their home county from an invading army, since their Dukes many enemies are attacking! If they can all survive to return home, will there be a home to return to?

Stephunos' adventures continue as settling into the drastically different life the last six months have brought hasn't been easy. Dealing with the pressures of being an Earl, a teacher, and an Ambassador at twelve certainly has a way of complicating things.

A tall order when you have an overly hyper younger brother and his cohort Youngblood, a highly intelligent young blue dragon, always stirring up trouble. Still, Stephunos' plans to put the everyday pressures behind as his holiday break arrives. However, a planet where magic radiates everywhere that stands on the verge of clashing with the recently discovered technological universe that has arrived at their door doesn't exactly make for the best place. Cosmin and the Dark Mages, despite defeat after defeat, still live! Secrets still have to be protected! The addition of space travel has opened up the threat of invasion! The vampire Razvan is uneasy, something sinister is afoot! Has the time come for a favor to be asked? Granted?

This guidebook offers 35 day walks across the four Cycladic islands of Paros, Naxos, Amorgos and Santorini. Best explored in spring and autumn, each island offers a unique walking experience and the walks range from easy 4km town tours to 16km hikes visiting remote peaks in wild interiors. This is the first guide to feature the new 50km Naxos Strada, which is introduced as a series of five day walks. The walks often follow traditional paved paths which have been used by locals for centuries and the guide offers a wealth of insights into the history, geology and wildlife of the areas travelled through. Dotted amongst rugged mountains and working farmland are historic sites dating back to the height of Ancient Greece and impressive rural monasteries. On the coast, white sand bays and dramatic cliffs frame the expansive blue Aegean sea. For each walk, this guide includes detailed route description and Anavasi mapping to aid navigation. It also contains information about getting to the Cyclades and island hopping, along with an English-Greek glossary of key words and phrases and an appendix full of useful contacts.

Archaeologist Martin Day thinks he has escaped from real life when he buys a house on the Greek island of Naxos. Events prove him mistaken. He plans to write a book about a local historian called Nikos Elias and quickly realises that Elias had secrets which might lead to an exciting discovery. Then a man is murdered in a Naxos hotel, a mild-mannered American called Michael Moralis whom Day once met. Inspector Andreas Nomikos suspects that Moralis was connected to antiquities smuggling, but Day cannot believe it of the man. Nor can he leave well alone. While trying to get to the bottom of Elias's secret obsession, he also starts making his own investigations into who killed Michael Moralis. Rich local colour, a clever plot and an eccentric archaeologist make this first book in the Naxos Mysteries series an absorbing read.
