Check out these beauties from Revell Books coming to a store near you in 2015
Hyam is a likeable lad
who will make a fine farmer someday. But he carries a burden few can
fathom. As his mother slips toward death, she implores him to return to
Long Hall, where he spent five years as an apprentice. It was there that
Hyam's extraordinary capacity for mastering languages came to
light--and soon cast him into the shadows of suspicion. How could any
human learn the forbidden tongues with such ease? When Hyam dares to
seek out the Mistress of the Sorceries, her revelation tears his world
asunder.
He has no choice but to set out on the foreboding
path--which beckons him to either his destiny or his doom. An encounter
with an enchanting stranger reminds him that he is part hero and part
captive. As Hyam struggles to interpret the omens and symbols, he is
swept up by a great current of possibilities--and dangers.
The girls of the DG have
found that through the club, both their friendships and their dating
savvy have grown. But all that is about to be put to the test. Despite
their promises of secrecy, word has somehow gotten out, and new girls
want to join the club. The reaction in the DG is mixed, but with the
Christmas Ball coming up, they need to pull together to organize their
double dates. The trouble is, how can they get guys interested in a
dance that's become increasingly unpopular?
Following in her
estranged father's footsteps, Dr. Juliet Ryan has devoted her scientific
acumen to corporate America, providing safe drinking water for
millions--and affording her plenty of perks along the way. Then, without
warning, a fast-moving disaster sweeps Juliet into a whirlpool of
corporate scandal and puts lives at risk. As she scrambles to find
answers, Juliet must face her deepest wounds and join forces with her
father to expose a far-reaching conspiracy. Underneath it all, she
struggles to forgive those who betrayed her trust--not least of all her
own father.
Wife to a gambler who
took one too many risks, Rahab finds herself sold as a slave to cover
her husband's debt. Forced into prostitution by Dabir, counselor to the
Syrian king, Rahab despairs of ever regaining her freedom and her
self-respect. But when Israelite spies enter Jericho and come to lodge
at her house, Rahab sees a glimmer of hope and the opportunity of a
lifetime. In one risky moment, she takes a leap of faith, puts her trust
in a God she does not know, and vows to protect the spies from the
authorities. When the armies of Israel arrive weeks later, Rahab hopes
they will keep their promise, but she has no idea what kind of
challenges await her outside Jericho's walls--or if she will ever know
the meaning of love.
Patience Cavanaugh has
lost hope in romance. The man she yearned to marry is dead and her
dreams are gone with him. Now she is consumed with the restoration of a
dilapidated boarding house in order to support herself. Despite her
desire for solitude, Jedediah Jones, the local sheriff with a reputation
for hanging criminals, becomes an ever-looming part of her life. It
seems like such a simple arrangement: Patience needs someone with a
strong back to help her fix up the boardinghouse, and Jedediah needs a
dependable source of food for himself and his prisoners. But Patience
gets more than she bargained for as she explores the depths of the
"hanging lawman"--and finds both betrayal and love.
After seven years as a
Chicago homicide detective, Lisa Grant has hit a wall. Ready for a
kinder, gentler life, she takes a job as a small-town police chief. But
the discovery of a human skeleton by a construction crew at the edge of
town taxes the resources of her department. A call for assistance brings
detective Mac McGregor, an ex-Navy SEAL, to her doorstep. As they work
to solve the mystery behind the unmarked grave, danger begins to shadow
them. Someone doesn't want this dead person telling any tales--and will
stop at nothing to make certain a life-shattering secret stays buried.
Master
storyteller Irene Hannon is back with an exciting new series featuring
former special forces operatives now in the thick of the action in
civilian life. Hannon is at the top of her game in this
can't-put-it-down thriller that will have readers up until the wee hours
devouring every page.
When Anna Konig first
meets Bairn, the Scottish ship carpenter of the "Charming Nancy," their
encounter is anything but pleasant. Anna is on the ship only to ensure
the safe arrival of her loved ones to the New World. Hardened by years
of living at sea, Bairn resents toting these naive farmers--dubbed
"Peculiars" by deckhands--across the ocean. As delays, storms, illness,
and diminishing provisions afflict crew and passengers alike, Bairn
finds himself drawn to Anna's serene nature. For her part, Anna can't
seem to stay below deck and far away from the aloof ship's carpenter,
despite warnings.
When an act of sacrifice leaves Anna in a perilous
situation, Bairn discovers he may not have left his faith as firmly in
the past as he thought. But has the revelation come too late?
Amish
fiction favorite Suzanne Woods Fisher brings her fans back to the
beginning of Amish life in America with this fascinating glimpse into
the first ocean crossing as seen through the eyes of a devout young
woman and an irreverent man. Blending the worlds of Amish and historical
fiction, Fisher is sure to delight her longtime fans even as she
attracts new ones with her superb and always surprise-filled writing.
All along the eastern
seaboard, the American struggle for independence rages. In the
British-held southern port of Mobile, Alabama, the conflict brewing is
quieter--though no less deadly. The lovely Frenchwoman Lyse Lanier is
best friends with the daughter of the British commander. Rafael Gonzalez
is a charming young Spanish merchant with a secret mission and a
shipment of gold to support General Washington. As their paths cross and
their destinies become increasingly tangled, Lyse and Rafael must
decide where their true loyalties lie--and somehow keep Lyse's family
from being executed as traitors to the British Crown.
With
spectacular detail that brings the Colonial South alive, Beth White
invites readers into a world of intrigue and espionage from a
little-known side of the American Revolutionary War. Her richly textured
settings and characters delight while fast pacing and closely held
secrets will keep readers turning the pages
Small-town girl Katie
Fisher is planning her wedding. Sure, her boyfriend hasn't managed to
pop the question just yet, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't enter a
contest in "Texas Bride" magazine to win the dress of her dreams, right?
But when her boyfriend breaks up with her and takes a job in another
town--the very same day Katie wins her dream dress--her world is turned
upside down. Should she claim her prize? And will the hunky former
pro-basketball player who runs the swanky Dallas bridal shop--yeah, you
read that right--catch on to her humiliation if she does?
Janice
Thompson designs a romance sure to delight, with plenty of
fish-out-of-water moments, a hilarious supporting cast, and more of the
wedding biz world her readers adore.
Doug Anderson has been
drifting slowly but steadily away from both his family and his faith.
His parents, along with Christina, a young woman taken into the family
during a crisis pregnancy, have been trying to reach him before he falls
too far. But sometimes you have to hit bottom before you're ready to

have been growing, even though he writes her off as not worth his time.

what he has right in front of him?

love with this satisfying conclusion to the popular series.
