Fantasy. Sylas Tate leads a lonely existence since his mother died. But then the tolling of a giant bell draws him into another world where good and evil forces clash. As violence looms and the stakes get ever higher, Sylas must seek out a girl called Naeo who might just be the other half of his soul

The Bell Between Worlds

Als Sylas een oud boek vol onbegrijpelijke runen krijgt, die over de bladzijden bewegen alsof ze leven, gebeuren er merkwaardige dingen. Sylas komt op het kerkhof oog in oog te staan met een groteske hond, er arriveert een mysterieuze vreemdeling en hij komt erachter dat zijn oom, bij wie hij woont, een groot geheim voor hem heeft. s Nachts wordt Sylas wakker van het oorverdovende geklingel van een klok die alleen hij kan horen. Een klok die het begin blijkt van een reis die Sylas naar een andere wereld brengt. Een wereld die bijzonder veel op de onze lijkt, maar waar magie het van de wetenschap heeft gewonnen en die alles waar Sylas ooit in heeft geloofd op zijn kop zet.

De klok tussen de werelden

The second volume in an epic fantasy trilogy that will thrill everyone who loves rich stories of wonder and magic. Desperate to return to his own world to look for the mother he has only just learned is alive, Sylas is nevertheless stuck in the strange realm of the Other. There, his magical powers are constantly growing -- and he has just become one of the first people to meet his own Glimmer, the other half of his own soul living in this mirror world. His Glimmer, Naeo, also has an unusual inborn talent for the nature-magic of the Fourth Way. But there's one marked difference: Naeo is a girl... Naeo, like Sylas, is looking for someone: her father, captured by the dark lord Thoth. But Thoth is looking for her too, and for Sylas -- together, they represent the only thing that could stop him ruling both worlds. To escape him, the two children are separated and sent on reverse missions: Naeo into our world to find Sylas's mother, and Sylas deep into the Other to find Naeo's father. But Scarpia, servant of Thoth, follows Naeo to the crossing point at Stonehenge, creatures of darkness on her heels... ... And in the Other, in the dank dungeons of the Dirgheon, Thoth is raising an army of unspeakable monstrosity. To survive, Sylas and Naeo must remain apart -- but to defeat Thoth, they will one day have to come together again...

Documents and Commentary

Peace had arrived once more to the port and village of Hippolyta. The rogue Vandal army had been destroyed, and Vinzenz the evil commander in the Vandal army had been burned at the stake the previous night. Queen Echephyle and Queen Hippolyte had started their punishment for defying Hippolyta, Queen of all Amazons. They almost got Danilo the barbarian and Queen Andromache killed by not affording them an escort when returning from the imminent battle in the east. As it was every morning the first meal of the day was eaten in the council room before the daily tasks were talked about. What they did not know was Adalric was about to be crowned King of the Astro Goths and while it was taking place a Goth General was going to use the confusion to his advantage. A Goth messenger arrived during the meeting warning of an impending conflict after the Goth armies had been attacked in the south of their realm. By the laws of the treaty between Hippolyta, Queen of all Amazons and the Goth realm, she was committed to help them.

ANDROMACHE (A Queen is Crowned - Book 1)

Marie is still giving Ahearn [Douglas] cryptic clues to what might take place in his life. She has still not given him a direct yes or no to any of his questions and is leaving him more confused after appearing to clear his mind than he was before she appeared. Lady Lindsay will not allow Andrew or Kevin to investigate new buildings without her being there with them. Kevin is still messing up most of Andrew's theories to his annoyance, and Andrew is now visiting Lady Armstrong most nights. Kevin still goes to see Andrews mother for his education in English and history and his thinking outside the box still allows him to give his own wild theories. Many of the constables in Police Scotland have a grudge against Andrew and are always ruining his days. They are now treading on the feet of Lady Lindsay and she has laid down her law that they had better understand. Meg is now companion to Lady Stanley, the adopted mother of Lord Ahearn Douglas Stuart. There are now sheep and horse thieves on the highlands, and the Docherty clan have come to the highlands to help their extended family the Douglas clan.

Guardian Angel (Book 4)

Virtually every important question of public policy today involves an international organization. From trade to intellectual property to health policy and beyond, governments interact with international organizations in almost everything they do. Increasingly, individual citizens are directly affected by the work of international organizations. Aimed at academics, students, practitioners, and lawyers, this book gives a comprehensive overview of the world of international organizations today. It emphasizes both the practical aspects of their organization and operation, and the conceptual issues that arise at the junctures between nation-states and international authority, and between law and politics. While the focus is on inter-governmental organizations, the book also encompasses non-governmental organizations and public policy networks. With essays by the leading scholars and practitioners, the book first considers the main international organizations and the kinds of problems they address. This includes chapters on the organizations that relate to trade, humanitarian aid, peace operations, and more, as well as chapters on the history of international organizations. The book then looks at the constituent parts and internal functioning of international organizations. This addresses the internal management of the organization, and includes chapters on the distribution of decision-making power within the organizations, the structure of their assemblies, the role of Secretaries-General and other heads, budgets and finance, and other elements of complex bureaucracies at the international level. This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
