About the Book Magnus the Magnificent ... is the sixth in a series of children’s stories masterfully designed by the author to meet two primary goals. The first is to aid Spanish-speaking children in their pursuit of English, and English-speaking children in their pursuit of Spanish. The second is to draw parents and children closer together in a storyteller’s world -- a world they can easily imagine and build on. Filled with drama, fairy tales, excitement, and adventure, the entire series is worth adding to a parent’s collection! Magnus and Commodus are King Loren’s elite guards. But there is a problem – the King has a beautiful daughter (Noelle) and both guards are falling in love with her. Magnus seems to be the better man, and Commodus becomes very jealous and decides to take drastic action. Appealing to King Loren’s chief rivals, the King and Queen of Hyperion, the stage is set for dastardly deeds and heroic action. Sobre el Libro Magnus el Magnífico ... es la sexta de una serie de historias para niños diseñadas magistralmente por el autor para cumplir dos objetivos principales. El primero es ayudar a los niños de habla hispana en su búsqueda del inglés y a los niños de habla inglesa en su búsqueda del español. El segundo es acercar a padres e hijos en el mundo de un narrador, un mundo que pueden imaginar y construir fácilmente. Llena de drama, cuentos de hadas, emoción y aventuras, vale la pena agregar toda la serie a la colección de los padres. Magnus y Commodus son los guardias de élite del rey Loren. Pero hay un problema: el Rey tiene una hermosa hija (Noelle) y ambos guardias se están enamorando de ella. Magnus parece ser el mejor hombre, y Commodus se pone muy celoso y decide tomar medidas drásticas. Apelando a los principales rivales del rey Loren, el rey y la reina de Hyperion, el escenario está preparado para actos cobardes y acción heroica.

Magnus lives and works at the Broadway Firehouse. He knows that when the fire alarm clangs, he and his partners, Billy and Sparks, are supposed to spring into action. Without them the firemen would never be able to move the gigantic steam pumper. And without a pumper the crew wouldn't be able to put out fires. Then one day the captain drives into the firehouse on a loud, newfangled contraption called a motorized fire truck. It doesn't need horses to pull it to a fire. So just like that, Magnus, Sparks, and Billy are out of a job. A little history, a little humor, and a whole lot of heart are artfully blended in this rousing tale of one high-spirited horse who can't accept being put out to pasture. And thank goodness! Because it's this steadfast sense of duty that ultimately saves the day.

Suleiman the Magnificent, most glorious of the Ottoman sultans, kept Europe atremble for nearly half a century. In a few years he led his army as far as the gates of Vienna, made himself master of the Mediterranean and established his court in Baghdad. Faced with this redoubtable champion, who regarded it as his duty to extend the boundaries of Islam farther and farther, the Christian world struggled to unite against him. 'The Shadow of God on Earth', but also an expert politician and all-powerful despot, Suleiman ruled the state firmly with the help of his viziers. He extended the borders of the empire beyond what any of the Ottoman sultans had achieved, yet it is primarily as a lawgiver that he is remembered in Turkish history. His empire held dominion over three continents populated by more than thirty million inhabitants, among whom nearly all of the races and religions of mankind were represented. Prospering under a well-directed, authoritarian economy, Suleiman's reign marked the apogee of Ottoman power. City and country alike experienced unprecedented economic and demographic growth. Istanbul was the largest city in the world, enjoying a remarkable renaissance of arts and letters; a mighty capital, it was the seat of the Seraglio and dark intrigue.

Sargaard's life began in horror. He was orphaned when Corsairian raiders decimated his village. The evil Lord of the Abyss, Kataclysmos, placed a dark spell on Sargaard when he failed to capture the frightened lone survivor. Sargaard's future, muddied with betrayal, greed, and death, was cast. However, within hours good fortune smiled on him and his miserable fate was altered when the future king of Bovania found and adopted him. The country welcomed their newest noble son: Sargaard, the Prince of Bovania. As the years pass, jealousy and discontent darken the heart of Sargaard leading to his shocking ultimate act of treachery and permanent exile to the Dying Lands. It is here that Kataclysmos resurfaces to claim his prized Dane and fuels the fire of hatred in Sargaard's soul transforming him into the Carrion Lord. With an army of carrion beasts amassed to destroy all that stands before them, the Carrion Lord embarks on a journey to embrace his destiny and exact his revenge. Bovania's only hope is Sargaard's childhood friend and former Academy classmate—Skeld, and the motley group of dogs King Sven assembles to unite the land against the evil that comes. Will the words of the Oracle hold true? Can Bovania unite against Sargaard and his horde? As the final battle unfolds true friends and true enemies will be revealed. The inspiration for Rise of the Carrion Lord came from years of pondering the question: What if dogs had their own world apart from humans where they walked as we do, talked as we do, and were completely human-esque, but still dogs?
