› Find signed collectible books: 'Arthurian Romances'
Stella Cataloni, District Attorney, has never lost a case. She has convicted every criminal who crossed her doorstep - except the one who stole her family and marked her for life. Stella's parents died in afire when she was seventeen. She managed to rescue her brother but sustained appalling scars. Stella remembers little about that night of the fire and has no idea who caused it, but now she knows she must confront it. Her privatelife's a mess; she's divorcing her husband and falling in love with her divorce attorney; the least she can do is unravel her haunting past. But in doing so she puts her reputation at stake and her life in jeapardy. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Erec and Enide'
"Erec and Enide", the first of five surviving Arthurian romantic poems by 12th-century French poet Chretien de Troyes, narrates a chapter from the legend of King Arthur. Chretien's romances became the source for Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England and on the Continent. Yet his swift-moving style is difficult to capture in translation, and today's English-speaking audiences remain largely unfamiliar with his poems. Now a translator of medieval verse has translated "Eric and Enide" in a three-stress metric verse form that fully captures the movement, the sense and the spirit of the Old French original. Burton Raffel's rendition preserves the subtlety and charm of a poem that is in turn serious, dramatic, bawdy, merry and satiric. "Erec and Enide" tells the story of Erec, a knight at King Arthur's court, whose retirement to domestic bliss with his beautiful new wife Enide takes him away from his chivalric duties. To regain his knightly honour, Erec sets out with Enide on a series of amazing adventures. Eric dispatches thieves and giants with prodigious strength and valour but treats his wife rather harshly for doubting his abilities. When Enide is kidnapped by a robber baron, Erec revives from near-death to perform a courageous rescue, and at length the two are reconciled. [via]
