Rich in the atmosphere of thirteenth-century Italy, The Road to Damietta offers through Ricca di Montanaro's eyes a new perspective on the man who became the famous Saint Francis of Assisi, the guileless, joyous man who praised the oneness of nature and sought to bring the world into harmony. Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace, he said. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

Sarah Basheer, a seventeen year old Lebanese Druze girl from an undesirable neighbourhood, develops a yearning desire to discover who she really is and ponders her life, religion and her growing infatuation with her high school teacher.

At the same time, her yearning desire to find out more about the secretive Druze religion, not openly displayed or marketed like The Bible and Quran, sparks an intrigue and conviction.

Sarah's parents, having firm strict religious beliefs and ideals, want to take Sarah to Lebanon and plan her arranged marriage, as they fear they will lose their daughter to an Australian man.

Will Sarah discover the truth behind her masked religion? Will she reunite with her unrequited love, or conform to her parents' rigidly enforced principles? Interwoven student crush, teenage self-discovery, and depth of a masked religion and finally struggles of everyday teenage quandaries.

In life, it is the choices we make that determine our inevitable outcome. Will Sarah find the kindred spirit she strongly believes is lurking in the world, awaiting her return?

Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Bertelsen dreams of becoming an astronomer, but she knows such dreams are as unreachable as the stars she so deeply adores. As a Mormon girl, her duty is to her family and, in a not too far away future, to the man who'll choose to marry her.

When she unexpectedly finds herself in Colorado, she's tempted by the total eclipse of the sun that's about to happen--and maybe even meeting up with the female scientists she's long admired. Elizabeth must learn to navigate this new world of possibility: with her familial duties and faith tugging at her heartstrings, a new romance on the horizon, and the study of the night sky calling to her, she can't possibly have it all...can she?

Markus returned with a report that prompted Post Commander Mercurius to roll his eyes. No sign of the assassins or missing emissary. While the PC reprimanded Markus, something caught Orel's eye, something definitely out of place. Squatting next to one corpse, he discovered a small mark, a tattoo, but the body was too blood-smeared to make it out clearly. Using his thumb and spit he cleared away the blood covering the mark. There behind the dead man's ear is the Hebrew symbol. This seldom used word had two parts, tsal meaning shadow and mavet, meaning death; it formed the compound, shadow of death. Orel decided to keep this discovery to himself, until he had time to make some sense of it. Why? he mused, would a staff member in a Roman emissary have a Hebrew word tattooed in a place that would likely go un-noticed?
