Описание:
Although several scholars have written about how Luke portrays Jesus and the apostles as prophets, no one has yet provided a comprehensive theory as to why Luke's protagonists resemble the prophets.
McWhirter shows that Luke uses these biblical prophets as precedents, seeking to legitimate the apostles teachings in the face of events, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the deaths of Peter and Paul, which seem to contradict those teachings. In order to show that all this was part of God's plan, Luke compares Jesus and his witnesses to Israel's prophets who were rejected by their own people.

Описание:
A storm of change has blown in from the South, ushering in the conquering army of the Saricon horde and their frightful war god Heln. Tall and powerful, their spirit and bodies born for war, the Saricon have swept all before them and now locked their cold blue gaze upon the lands of Dy'ain and the Kul-brite steel trade. For whosoever controls the precious metal of the Lords shall possess the power and wealth to reign supreme over all the lands of Corvell.
House Dormath, the rulers of Dy'ain, prepares for war. Their elite Legion, long-standing protectors of their land and Argonian faith, hoist shield and sword in defiance of the mighty invaders. But how can even the fearless Legion stop the Saricon where so many before them have fallen to their blades? Two religions, two separate ways of life, clash in an epic battle fueled by conquest and self preservation as two young men, born of contrasting worlds and forged in violence and war, converge to become House Dormath's last hope.

Описание:
Malbeck the Dark One has returned. An army of darkness marches from the north, crushing all who oppose it under its muddy black boot. The drums of war echo throughout Kraawn as the struggle between light and dark teeters in the balance, fueled on the one hand by the greed of the Forsworn, and on the other by the ultimate desire for all that is good to survive.
Tarsis, the last city in the north, is laid waste, decimated by Malbeck's army. Kromm, the King of Tarsis, battles for his life as the dark hunters of Malbeck relentlessly pursue him through the Tundren Mountains. His mighty army has been destroyed and its remnants are now scattered throughout the lands.
But he is not alone. He is surrounded by his elite guard, along with Addalis, his court wizard, and Allindrian, the half-elf Blade Singer. But will that be enough to thwart that which hunts him?
The road to Finarth is now open and few are left to stop the Dark One. The hope of the land rests in the combined power of its last remaining heroes. Jonas Kanrene, cavalier to Shyann, has been given his next mission. He must find King Kromm and bring him to Finarth, the city where the last stand will be made. The bow of Taleen, cavalier to Bandris, and the sword of Fil Tanrey, warrior of Finarth, accompanies Jonas on this perilous task.
Their quest is fraught with death, sacrifice, and courage. But will their courage see them through their mission? Can Jonas and his companions prevail against the Forsworn and protect the king?
These are questions that can only be answered by the strength of their blades, and more importantly, the courage in their hearts.

Описание:
The city of Cuthaine burns, the smoke rises into the night sky as carrion crows fly in to feast on the corpses. Malbeck's army marches towards the city of Finarth, the shadow of the Forsworn in its wake, suffocating anything of light under its cowl of death and destruction.
A gathering of heroes has begun, brought together to combat this mighty force, which if not stopped, will continue its path of destruction, blanketing the lands of Kraawn in darkness.
Tuvallis, once a soldier, now a mountain man hiding from his past, finds himself on a path to redemption where his sword, and courage, will face the menacing threat.
Hagar the ogrillion, half-orc and half-ogre, follows his heart, soon finding himself entrenched in war, fighting not just the evil that he hates, but also the very nature and prejudices towards what he is, bearing all the way a mantle of courage and hope rarely found in men, let alone his race.
Jonas Kanrene, cavalier to Shyann, completed his first mission. But at what cost? Men and women died along the way, but King Kromm of Tarsis, and his family, was plucked from Malbeck's clawed fist and brought to Finarth, the place where they will make their stand against the darkness of the Forsworn. Jonas himself must face an internal threat of such magnitude that it either kills him, or changes him forever.
The pounding of orc boots echo off the walls of Finarth as sixty thousand howling monsters stand before the city walls. Heroes' gather, knights and soldiers prepare for war, ordinary farmers lift pitted swords dusty from idleness. But will it be enough to face the might of the Forsworn and their general, the one who carries the Shan Cemar, the ancient elven book of magic?
The people's hope lies in the gathering of heroes. A gathering, whose combined courage and strength must be enough to defeat the Dark One. If not, then all is lost.

Описание: From the author of the Cavalier Trilogy, the Steel Lord Series, and the Five Lands Saga, comes a new adventure with Jonas Kanrene, once a Cavalier to Shyann, now her Shadow Knight. Join Jonas as he takes on the mantle of his new role, protecting the lands of Kraawn from the evil forces that wish to see it black and burning. Thought to be just a story sang by bards to ale infused patrons, a legend of a demon, a tale told to weary children before bed, is found to be much more than that. A demon that terrorized the land of Rothar long ago is freed once again, and its anger and desire for blood is unquenchable. An intricate plot develops as two kingdoms, ancient enemies, work to pacify their grievances through a political marriage, all the while the wakened demon is building a new army, servants who will help it unleash its fury on the lands once again. Jonas Kanrene, Shadow Knight to Shyann, finds himself, along with his faithful night wolf, Tulari, farther west than he has ever been, brought there to face the demon and destroy it forever. For if they cannot prevail, then the demon will litter the lands with carnage never seen before.
