A WOMAN FOR HER TIME... Sister Genevieve had no idea that the neighbourhood surrounding St Louise's would soon become a war zone. In fact, Catholic families would be routed out of their homes by Protestant bombs, street battles would rage between the IRA and British soldiers on patrol. West Belfast would go up in smoke, with her girls in the middle of it all. Many would lose their fathers to the army, to prison, or to the grave. But she would not lose them. Sister Genevieve confronted violence and loss in her homilies and prayers. She enabled her girls to put despair out of their minds. With strength and courage, she helped them rise above the Troubles. This is her story. ...AND FOR ALL TIME SISTER GENEVIEVE 'Movingly impressive... her remarkable story is well worth the telling.' Times Literary Supplement 'Rae shows real insight into the spiritual motivation that Genevieve drew from her religious life. He develops also an unusual understanding of the armed conflict that raged over West Belfast.' Tablet 'A biography of a little-known but remarkable woman... should be compulsory reading for everyone who has anything to do with education.' Mail on Sunday

Her magical strength is transformation, but is she powerful enough to change his heart? A witch in the crosshairs Circe Tanglewood has tried to fit in with the other witches of Darnuith, but since the day her sister became queen, she’s been the target of painful rumors and vicious threats. Aside from her sisters, her only friend is the owner of the apothecary where she works. Her heart wants more from the taciturn and commanding Rhys, but she’s hesitant to risk losing her sole ally. A wizard with a past Rhys Bloodgood has suffered loss and never plans to open himself up to it again. No matter how attracted he is to Circe, allowing himself to love her is a gamble he’s not ready to take. Besides, a failed relationship might lose him a talented apprentice. A war that will either bring them together or tear them apart Rhys and Circe must work together to save Queen Medea from a poisoning attempt, which shatters the walls between them and drives them into the mounting political turmoil between Darnuith and Paragon. When friends become lovers, there’s nothing like the magical high, but the perils of finding Medea’s would-be assassin could destroy them before they have a chance to begin.
