Zeus needs an army if he has any hope of stopping Olympus's bloody coup, and headstrong fire Magoi Bellanca knows it's her duty to deliver one no matter the cost...to herself, to her own growing magic, or to the man she's come to desire with all the flames in her heart.

A Promise of Fire
KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER Cat Fisa isn't who she pretends to be. She's perfectly content living disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus, avoiding the destiny the Gods--and her dangerous family--have saddled her with. As far as she's concerned, the magic humming within her blood can live and die with her. She won't be a pawn in anyone's game. But then she locks eyes with an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south and her illusion of safety is shattered forever. Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker--the woman who divines truth through lies--and he wants her to be a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm. Kidnapping her off the street is simple enough, but keeping her by his side is infuriatingly tough. Cat fights him at every turn, showing a ferocity of spirit that burns hot...and leaves him desperate for more. But can he ever hope to prove to his once-captive that he wants her there by his side as his equal, his companion...and maybe someday, his Queen?

Den helige Dominikus
Inom den medeltida, västliga kristenheten växte under 1200-talet ett antal väckelserörelser fram, som förespråkade en enklare livsstil och ett uppväckande av fornkyrkans ideal. Två personer kom här att spela betydande roller: Franciskus och Dominikus. Dominikus föddes i en liten bergsby i Spanien 1170. Efter sin prästvigning samlade han en grupp människor kring sig som sökte förena monastiskt liv med predikan och undervisning. Ur detta sammanhang växte Predikarorden, Ordo Praedicatorum, vanligen
