This is the forgotten Matter of Europe - a Song of Courtly Love and Betrayal, Adventure and Misfortune, sung by two Emperors, a Pope, a King, a Duke and two Counts. It is 1100 AD. In the east of Europe, battles are underway between Christians and Muslims, between Latin and Greek speakers, and between the Church and Crown. King Baldwin of Jerusalem, valiant knight and lusty bachelor, has wrested a sacred talisman from the Eastern Empire - the Palladium. With it, his kingdom and the civilisation it represents is in the ascendancy, and all fall before his sword. Yet he has a weakness - love - both for one woman, his mother, as well as his fellow man. Will it be his undoing? If it were up to Caesar Nicephoros Bryennius, Panhypersebastos, First Minister of the Roman Empire, Baldwin would not be the only one to fall. He schemes for the ancient crown of the Romans, and nothing can stand in his way. Nothing, perhaps, except his wife ... or himself. Four of Baldwin's knights, too, are struggling with their place in the world. Though they have risen high in Baldwin's service, their real love is questing after pilgrims. Thus they seek to lighten Baldwin's load, by offering him a service, while embarking on a great quest of their own. One that will lead them places that even they scarcely realise. Lowest on the ranks of society, below the common gaze, is Nicephoros' escaped slave, Jacob. He vies simply for freedom - the purest desire. Yet, in seeking to use the Palladium to achieve his goals, he stands to change the fate of all...

In 2015, a race of alien Others conquered Earth. They enslaved humanity not by force, but through an aggressive mind control that turned people into contented, unquestioning robots. Except sixteen-year-old Althea isn’t content at all, and she doesn’t need the mysterious note inside her locket to tell her she’s Something Else. It also warns her to trust no one, so she hides the pieces that make her different, even though it means being alone. The autumn she meets Lucas, everything changes. Althea and Lucas are immune to the alien mind control, and together they search for the reason why. What they uncover is a stunning truth the Others never anticipated, one with the potential to free the brainwashed human race. It’s not who they are that makes them special, but what. And what they are is a threat. One the Others are determined to eliminate for good.

Poetry, to me, is an elegant bridge that God uses to lead us away from the numbness of the familiar into the amazement of His awesome love and grace. He used the Psalms to reveal magnificent truths about Himself to man, and we have been blessed by those songs of love for thousands of years. When He finds a yielded, available vessel who is open to help shepherd His little flock through the minefield of this valley of tears, He will use that instrument to pour out precious and priceless gems to bless their pilgrimage Home, and in the process, rejoice their souls. Shirley Gutierez is just such a conduit of the Master's loving touch. Having fought many a battle down here herself, and found His victory to be sweet, now she shares with you -- or better said, now He shares with you through her -- through her poetic gifts, truths that will equip you to see His marvelous light in the midst of your own darkness or your own vexing valleys. Some would-be poets write "poetry" just for the sake of writing poems. Not so with Shirley Gutierez. This dear saint allows the Holy Spirit to use her to speak truth through her words that lifts the veil and carries the reader beyond the shallows of mere logic, reason or raw emotion. I think the two words that best describe this gift to the Body of Christ, the book you hold in your hand, are anointed and inspired. See for yourself; you are in for one blessed encounter with grace, regardless of where your finger might land in this volume. "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us" 2 Cor. 4:7. This is the one verse that comes to mind when thinking about this sister and her work. That "Treasure" inside her has been allowed to use that earthen vessel for His pleasure and His glory as He touches your heart. Someone has said that poetry is "plucking at the heartstrings and making beautiful melodies with it." May you enjoy the music of her poetry, and may that sweet music draw you ever closer to the One who poured them all out through her, for you. Dr. Charles Browning Christian Therapist Orange Conty, California September, 2012
