The Wolf and the Dove
Lovely Princess Aislinn of Darkenwald's loyalty to her Saxon people is tested when she falls in love with Wulfgar, one of the fearsome Norman invaders.
Some objects just cry out to be stolen, and an obliging ring of international thieves stands ready to heed the cry. Their current target is the Gyrth Chalice, a priceless goblet that the Gyrth family has for centuries held in trust for the British Crown. Kept in a windowless chapel, and protected by a fearsome curse, the Chalice should be impervious to thievery. But this is 1930, and the crooks have all the advantages of the modern world.
Up-From Afghans to Zulus, and from the Spartans and Knights Templar to
the Green Berets and the Flying Circus, this volume covers all of the
basics on most of the fearsome fighting groups throughout history.
