The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone!

 


When a cult springs up in neighboring Clonmel, promising to quell the recent attacks by lawless marauders, people flock from all over to offer gold in exchange for protection. But Halt is all too familiar with this particular group, and he knows they have a less than charitable agenda. Secrets will be unveiled and battles fought to the death as Will and Horace help Halt in ridding the land of a dangerous enemy.
Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

    SOUTHERN CLONMEL, THE ISLAND OF HIBERNIA.

    The farmers had risen at first light, bringing in their cattle for milking, and releasing the sheep and chickens that had been kept overnight in the barn to protect them from nocturnal marauders.

    The leader of the bandits crouched among the trees and smiled grimly to himself. Today, the inhabitants of this little group of farms would have more to worry about than animal predators. Today, real danger lurked inside the tree line, concealed from the eyes of the farmers as they went about their routine tasks.

    His men had been in position since long before first light. A less experienced leader might have chosen to attack at dawn. Most people thought that was the best time for a surprise attack. But the bandit knew his business. Farmers rose early. They were wide-awake at dawn. They were prepared for unexpected danger, even if it were only a fox or a marauding wolf. And they often had tools ready at hand—axes and spades and scythes—that would...

    Multimedia Review Staff Video/DVD Art-General Laurence Gartel: Digital Media Artist. DVD. 13:35 min. Crystal Prods. 2009. ISBN 978-1-56290-631-3. $39.95.

    Gr 9 UpThis short documentary spotlights digital media artist Laurence Gartel and his work in an interview format as he discusses his processes and digital media in general. Gartel is considered by many to be the father of digital media. He takes a photo and, using different computer software, enhances it to create a unique piece of art. His favorite piece, "Coney Island Baby," is a collage of parts of photos that speak to the history of Coney Island. Every line of this wonderfully constructed visual feast takes the eye from detail to detail to create the feel of action while vibrant colors create a kaleidoscope of motion and mood. Among his influences are Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Nam June Paik. He admonishes aspiring artists to "make some noise" and constantly push the limits of comfort to be successful. For over 30 years, Gartel's art has evolved to show a time line of the most recent advances in technology that are used to enhance his original photos. This film introduces a digital genius and an art form that will be appealing to students."Jeana Actkinson, ESC XI Regional Service Center, Ft. Worth, TX"
