It’s been over half a year, now, since the brutal murder of Archbishop William de Laurent during his pilgrimage to the Galicien city of Davillon. During that time, the Church of the Hallowed Pact has assigned a new bishop to the city—but it has also made its displeasure at the death of its clergyman quite clear. Davillon’s economy has suffered beneath the weight of the Church’s displeasure. Much of the populace—angry at the clergy— has turned away from the Church hierarchy, choosing private worship or small, independent shrines. And the bishop, concerned for his new position and angry at the people of Davillon, plans to do something about it. But a supernatural threat is stalking the nighttime streets—a creature of the other world has come to infiltrate the seedier streets of Davillon, to intertwine its tendrils through the lower echelons of society. Faced with both political upheaval and a supernatural threat to its citizenry, the local representatives of the Church are paralyzed and the Guardsmen are in over their heads. And then there’s Widdershins--who’s tried, and failed, to stay out of trouble since taking over Genevieve’s tavern; who’s known to the Church and the Guard both, and trusted by neither; who may, with some of her Thieves’ Guild contacts, have unwittingly played a part in the bishop’s plans; and who, along with her personal god Olgun, may be the only real threat to the supernatural evil infesting Davillon.

The Widdershins Adventures come to a thrilling conclusion in an action-packed fantasy in which the young outlaw with a heart of gold (and the pesky voice of a god in her ear) returns home to face her destiny... After almost a year away from the grand city of Davillon, wandering thief Widdershins has finally come to terms with the pain and grief that drove her to leave. When she returns, all she can hope is that her old friends can forgive her hasty actions. But even that may be too much to ask...because home is not what it used to be. The entire city is on edge, with unrest and rumors of upheaval spreading through the darkened streets, and Shins is shocked to discover that she already knows the person behind the strife all too well—her dreaded nemesis, Lisette Suvagne. Thanks to an unholy bargain with otherworldly powers, the vindictive Lisette is far more dangerous than before—and far too formidable even for Shins and her personal god, Olgun, to confront alone. Now, for the sake of her friends, her city, and her own soul, Shins must gather allies from every corner of Davillon—lawful, unlawful, and seriously unlawful—if she hopes to face the greatest challenge of her life. Because the greatest challenge of Widdershins’ life might also be the end of it...

As the children of God we have a covenant in place with God. A covenant is similar to an agreement, or a binding contract. By the Covenant of Grace, we are redeemed and liberated from our sins and former life of carnality. Yet we also have a part to play, even though we may not always think so. Our part is to love God, to obey Him, to follow His Word, to have no other ‘gods’, to lead holy and pure lives and to fulfil the Great Commission. It is in simplicity also to uphold the Ten Commandments. Jesus gave all His Blood for the Covenant, which ensures our eternal life, provision and protection. How often do we truly stand still and contemplate the Covenant? We often think of Jesus’ death and ascension solely in light of redeeming us from sin, yet His Blood was shed to ratify (sign or give formal consent to a treaty, contract, or agreement, therefore making it officially valid) the Covenant. By our spiritual covenant, we are betrothed unto God, and we will one day celebrate the marriage with the feast in heaven. In this series of works, we look at the importance of the Covenant, and the absolute necessity to honour and uphold it. God is not one to be mocked and trifled with. He is holy, mighty and glorious. As His creation, we need to pay attention to Him, to His order, and to truth. May we worship Him and may we walk in His holiness as Covenant-keeping servants of the Most High.

Once she was Adrienne Satti. An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city's aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces--human and other--stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder. Today she is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshippers but Widdershins herself. It's not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it's hers. But now, in the midst of Davillon's political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she's built. The City Guard wants her in prison. Members of her own Guild want her dead. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go. Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her--but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don't finish the job first.

The continuing fantastical adventures of the young-but-wise thief Widdershins, who carries a deity in her head—and carries the weight of the past on her shoulders... After the tragic events that befell her and her friends, Widdershins--along with her aggravating personal god Olgun—fled her home city of Davillon searching for respite. But there is little peace to be found in the increasingly troubled land. And no place is more troubled than the town of Lourveaux, where intrigues and conspiracies against both the church and the government buzz like flies. But Shins is more concerned with the local Delacroix family than whoever wants to take down the powers-that-be. Because her beloved, late adoptive father was a Delacroix. Now, the last remnants of House Delacroix are under siege. Their crops are being blighted. A rival noble house is striving against them. And a ruthless criminal gang with their very own alchemist is working from the shadows to take them down. But Widdershins isn’t the kind of girl who forgets her family... ...and the enemies of the Delacroix have no idea what they’re about to come up against.

The Yahushaic Covenant - A complete guide to The Renewed Covenant presented from the viewpoint of a Nazarene. Over 500 pages of true doctrine, from which we all can establish our foundation. Eye opening insight as The Yahushaic Covenant is taught from a standpoint few understand, that of a Nazarene. What is the true meaning of the Renewed Covenant that bears the name of the Messiah? Who is Yahusha and what is his relationship to The Creator? This book is a detailed examination of the true Messiah and the covenant we are to abide in from the standpoint of the physical to spiritual parallels found in The Torah. This book specifically addresses the reality of Yahusha’s humanity vs. his divinity. It details our role and our responsibility within The Yahushaic Covenant. In this book I restore the teachings of The Apostle Paul back to their true meaning and clearly confront and overcome “The Pauline Doctrine” of the Christian Church. Restoring one of the greatest teachers of The Renewed Covenant back to his true roots as ‘The Leader of the Nazarene's’. In this book I address the reality of The Law and break The Law down and teach The Law from a standpoint of Spiritual Intent as The Messiah instructed. I will clearly define exactly what The Yahushaic Covenant is and dispel many of the myths and false teachings of Christianity. In this book I will define many of the terms used in the Yahushaic (Renewed) Covenant and explain what they mean to us today. I will also explain how Christianity has distorted the Truth to keep us all in darkness and idolatry. I will explain false doctrines and teach the truth and cover many topics including: - Did Yahusha accept worship? - What is the Holy Spirit? - What does the Son of God mean? - What does the only begotten Son mean? - What does the first born of Creation imply? - Has Yahusha always existed or did he have a beginning? - Is Yahusha the Creator? - What does the fullness of deity mean? - Is Yahusha the Logos? - What is the Virgin Birth? - What do the titles Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace mean as titles for Yahusha? - What is the Mystery of the Ages Yahusha came to reveal? - What is The Way? - Yahusha - The first perfected of many more to come - Did Yahusha commit blasphemy? - What is the Book of Life and what are the entries in it? - What is the evidence of our salvation? - What is righteousness and what is sanctification? - What does it mean to be “saved by faith”? - What is the sacrifice of the Messiah? - How was Yahusha “one” with Yahuah? - What is Hell, who goes there and for how long? - What is ‘time’? - What is the resurrection of the dead? We will continue in our search for His Law. We will cover The Talmud, Rabbinical Judaism, Takkanots, Grace vs. the Law, and much more. We will overcome the “sound bites” used by Christianity as they take scripture out of context to abolish the Law and then we will establish sound doctrine by putting those very verses back into context.
