Erik Steiner, Captain of the Queen’s Guard of Nolvaria, and Aleed Ravenwing, commander of the elite 43rd Corps of the Northern Dwarven Kingdom, two soldiers who meet on the field of battle and form an unlikely friendship. During the battle with the Vampire Lord, Scapus the Putrid, Captain Steiner is initiated into the company of those who carry weapons known as Crossleaf Blades. In fulfilling a promise to return to the scene of the battle one year later, the Captain receives his own Crossleaf Blades and learns what it truly means to carry such weapons. He soon discovers he is to become the guardian of a strange young girl he names Hope. Hope represents the only chance the northern kingdoms have against Lord Nakaret, the Soulless One, who seeks to overrun the kingdoms with his armies of Undead warriors. The mysterious members of the Brotherhood of the Eternal Light inform the Captain that he must deliver Hope into the very presence of the Soulless One, and only then can she attempt to save the northern kingdoms. Accompanied by Commander Ravenwing, Captain Steiner and Hope begin their journey south and quickly find they are being hunted by the resurrected priests of Lord Nakaret, known as Whispers.

In the first major book devoted to the trumpet in more than two decades, John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan trace the surprising evolution and colorful performance history of one of the world''s oldest instruments. They chart the introduction of the trumpet and its family into art music, and its rise to prominence as a solo instrument, from the Baroque "golden age," through the advent of valved brass instruments in the nineteenth century, and the trumpet''s renaissance in the jazz age. The authors offer abundant insights into the trumpet''s repertoire, with detailed analyses of works by Haydn, Handel, and Bach, and fresh material on the importance of jazz and influential jazz trumpeters for the reemergence of the trumpet as a solo instrument in classical music today. Wallace and McGrattan draw on deep research, lifetimes of experience in performing and teaching the trumpet in its various forms, and numerous interviews to illuminate the trumpet''s history, music, and players. Copiously illustrated with photographs, facsimiles, and music examples throughout, The Trumpet will enlighten and fascinate all performers and enthusiasts [Publisher description].

As the details of HBO''s Boardwalk Empire emerged, it quickly became the most anticipated programme in the network''s history. The excitement was understandable - not only was the show created by Terence Winter, the man behind The Sopranos, but Martin Scorsese was one of the executive producers and would make a rare crossover to television by directing the pilot. Plus the cast was headed by the great Steve Buscemi and included some of the finest character actors in the business, whose previous work has included No Country for Old Men, This is England, and The Wire. Now that the prohibition epic has finally hit our screens, Boardwalk Empire has proven to be every bit as smart, brutal and thrilling as had been anticipated. Already renewed for a second season, it is set to become one of the defining series of the decades.This indispensible accompaniment to the show is brimming with fascinating details about the series, covering the historical background, how the 1920s was reconstructed, the realities of filming, biographies of key members of the cast and crew, and much, much more.
