Set in and around the city of Eboracum (York), 'When the Eagle Rules in the Place of the Yew Trees' follows the life of Laticcos, a native Briton in Roman Britain. Sold into slavery and raised as a Roman, Laticcos struggles to decide on his identity and is constantly torn internally. None of this matters though for his best friend and brother, the son of his master, keeps him steady and calm and they become the closest of friends. Growing up, Laticcos continues to be torn but his friend is always there until then, one day, he's not. Laticcos is lost without his friend and his life spirals out of control. Misfortune and misery takes over and the troubled Briton is left with a few decisions to make. He is torn by his identity crisis and other misfortunes, but soon he no longer has time. War erupts between the Romans and the natives and it very quickly becomes apparent to Laticcos that he must make a choice: join his brother in fighting for his adopted identity or betray his friend and fight with his kinsmen against his oppressors and the cause of so much pain. There are trials and battles aplenty as his choice is made, or is made for him. The fate of his loved ones and of his home may well rest on his decision. 'When the Eagle Rules in the Place of the Trees' has action and emotion inside the constraints of historical accuracy. Follow the story of a people from the perspective of one troubled man with many dilemmas and crises. This tale of fiction inside a factual setting merges realism with emotions and warfare to give a relatable yet accurate experience complete with excitement, sentiment and a gripping story.

The Christian Classic Series books are not facsimiles of pages from old books, but completely reset pages with modern layouts making it much easier to read the works of our Christian forefathers. This book contains a compilation of Robert M'Cheyne's writings, poems and journal entries showing the life of a great, godly man's ministry. His concern for correctly disseminating the gospel is evident and much can be learned from his studies. This is not a devotional as much as a manual for righteous living that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Peter Robertson's grandfather is trying to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of the Middle Ages when he disappears during an archaeological expedition in Ethiopia. His disappearance sets off a series of events stretching deep into the past and rippling forward to the modern day. Fast forward 20 years and Peter finds himself in an army veteran rehabilitation centre with his team. They are all struggling to recover from serious injuries and to make sense of their new circumstances when an old friend of Peter's grandfather contacts him about a mysterious map found in his grandfather's belongings. It may help solve the mystery of his grandfather's disappearance and that of the long-lost treasure of Prester John, a mythical King from the Middle Ages. Loosely based on the true legend of Prester John, Into the Kingdom is a sweeping adventure tale beginning in the superstitious Age of Discovery and ending in modern-day Ethiopia. At its core, Into the Kingdom, demonstrates that real heroism is rooted in humanity and the acceptance of oneself.
