Southeast Louisiana is steeped in history and family. Every family has a legacy. Some legacies are passed from one generation to the next, while others are as murky and troubled as the waters of the Mississippi River. The New Orleans Saints had a legacy of being perennial losers, however in 2009 that legacy was altered. Set during the Saints miracle season these characters discover their true legacy. At twenty-four Chloe Fuller considered her life a bit of a fairytale. She grew up in a huge house within a gated community in Mandeville, north of Lake Ponchartrain.

In 1656, a planter in colonial Maryland tortured and killed one of his slaves, an Angolan man named Antonio who refused to work the fields. Over three centuries later, a Detroit labor organizer named Simon Owens watched as strikebreakers wielding bats and lead pipes beat his fellow autoworkers for protesting their inhumane working conditions. Antonio and Owens had nothing in common but the color of their skin and the economic injustices they battled—yet the former is what defines them in America’s consciousness. In A Dreadful Deceit, award-winning historian Jacqueline Jones traces the lives of these two men and four other African Americans to reveal how the concept of race has obscured the factors that truly divide and unite us. Expansive, visionary, and provocative, A Dreadful Deceit explodes the pernicious fiction that has shaped American history.

If Lord of the Rings and The Witcher had a love-child, you'd get Seeds of Dominion. A blend of High Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery, Magic, and Mystery, this novel kicks off an epic fantasy that places an entire content in the cross-hairs of a power-hungry demon. Unholy evil lurks in the shadow of a magical kingdom. When a baron and his family turn up butchered in their sleep, a beleaguered king commands Rellen of Corsia, Seventh Guardian of Pelinon, to solve the mystery and bring the killer to justice. Was it sedition? Political assassination? Or is it the gruesome machinations of a blood-hungry demon goddess and her cult? Every riddle Rellen solves exposes two more, and his investigation uncovers something far more sinister. Ancient artifacts, secret organizations, and hidden mysteries sink him deeper and deeper into an ages-old conspiracy. Rellen desperately chases one clue after another, and to his growing horror, he discovers the baron's murder was only the latest piece of a far-reaching legacy of deceit spanning millennia. Once exposed, the terrible truth may consume Rellen's soul and leave the whole of Pelinon in ruin. ​​​​​​​For lovers of Dungeons & Dragons RPGs, this is a book from the sweeping epic fantasy world of Eldros Legacy.
