THE KING'S EXILE
SWANSTON, ANDREW
Thomas Hill is arrested on charges invented by his old enemy Tobias Rush, whom he thought had been
executed for treason. He is deported to Barbados where he is indentured to Rush's business partners.
When news of the King's execution arrives, political stability on the island is threatened. Also in danger is
Thomas's sister and nieces back in England, and he knows he must return home to them. However when
a fleet commanded by Admiral Sir George Ayscue arrives to take control of the island for Cromwell, his
departure is blocked. A coded message from Ayscue to a sympathiser on the island is intercepted, and
Thomas is asked to decipher it. A potentially disastrous battle seems inevitable, and Thomas volunteers
for the dangerous role of envoy to Ayscue. But with his sworn enemy hot on his heels, will Thomas ever
find safety and make it home to his family alive?

KING'S MOUNTAIN: A BALLAD NOVEL
MCCRUMB, SHARYN
John Sevier had not taken much interest in the American Revolution. But when an arrogant British officer
threatened his settlement—promising to burn the farms and kill families—the war became personal. That
arrogant officer is Patrick Ferguson of the British Army—who is both charmingly antagonistic and
surprisingly endearing. Inventor of the Ferguson rifle, and the devoted lover to his mistress, Virginia Sal,
Patrick becomes a delightful anti-hero under McCrumb’s watchful eye. King’s Mountain is a saga of the
Carolina Overmountain Men—the militia organized by Sevier and their victory in 1780 against the Tories
in a battle that Thomas Jefferson later called, "The turning point of the American Revolution."

Jay Kristoff returns with the follow-up to Stormdancer. Following Shōgun Yoritomo’s assassination, the
threat of civil war looms over the Shima Imperium. The Lotus Guild conspires to renew the Shōgun’s
broken dynasty and crush the growing rebellion. Yukiko is blinded by rage over her father’s death, and
her ability to hear the thoughts of beasts is swelling beyond her control. Along with Buruu, Yukiko’s anchor
is the rebel Guildsman Kin. But the boy has his own secrets, and is haunted by dreams of a future he’d
rather die than see realized. And a new enemy gathers its strength, readying to push the fracturing Shima
Imperium into war. Sent on a mission across storm-tossed oceans, Yukiko and her thunder tiger will face
a foe no sword or talon can defeat: Buruu’s own blood-stained past.
