Sarana and the Dark King by Ivy Keating
The ruthless king of Bounten controlled a Valomere — a magical creature that connects with one person and obeys their commands — with the magic to cause instant death. To further his power, he embarked on a quest to find tarilium, the strongest metal known to exist.
In pursuit of the precious resource, he ravaged his own villages before planning to invade the other kingdoms. Only one thing could stop his reign of terror — a commoner with a secret past and a powerful Valomere of her own. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3d537Cz.
The Trial of Billy the Kid by David G. Thomas
Biographies of Billy the Kid have provided extensive — and fascinating — details on his life, but only a few paragraphs on his trial for murder and the events leading up to that trial. The result sealed his fate, yet Billy’s trial is the least written about, and, until this book, the least known event of Billy’s adult life.
For the first time, get the answers to these questions: Was the trial fair? What were the charges? What kind of defense did Billy present? Did he have witnesses standing for him? Who testified against him? What action by the trial judge virtually guaranteed his conviction?
