Rich in historical detail, Heather Terrell’s mesmerizing novel Brigid of Kildare is the story of the revolutionary Saint Brigid and the discovery of the oldest illuminated manuscript in the annals of the Church, a manuscript that contains an astonishing secret history. Fifth-century Ireland: Brigid is Ireland’s first and only female priest and bishop. Followers flock to her Kildare abbey and scriptorium. Hearing accounts of Brigid’s power, the Church deems her a threat and sends Decius, a Roman priest and scribe, on a secret mission to collect proof of Brigid’s heresy. As Decius records the unorthodox practices of Brigid and her abbey, he becomes intrigued by her. When Brigid assigns Decius a holy task—to create the most important and sacred manuscript ever made—he finds himself at odds with his original mission and faces the most difficult decision of his life.Modern day: Alexandra Patterson, an appraiser of medieval relics, has been summoned to Kildare to examine a reliquary box believed to belong to Saint Brigid. Hidden within the sacred box is the most beautiful illuminated manuscript Alex has ever seen. But even more extraordinary is the contents of the manuscript’s vellum pages, which may have dire repercussions for the Catholic Church and could very well rewrite the origins of Christianity.From the Trade Paperback edition. - LjudbokEngelska, 2013

The truth will test you.
For fans of Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games, high fantasy and dystopia meet in this high-stakes tale of a civilization built on lies and the girl who single-handedly brings it down.
When Eva''s twin brother, Eamon, falls to his death just a few months before he is due to participate in the Testing, no one expects Eva to take his place. She''s a Maiden, slated for embroidery classes, curtsies, and soon a prestigious marriage befitting the daughter of an Aerie ruler. But Eva insists on honoring her brother by becoming a Testor. After all, she wouldn''t be the first Maiden to Test—just the first in 150 years.
Eva knows the Testing is no dance class. Gallant Testors train for their entire lives to search icy wastelands for Relics: artifacts of the corrupt civilization that existed before the Healing drowned the world. Out in the Boundary lands, Eva must rely on every moment of the lightning-quick training she received from Lukas, her servant, a Boundary native and her closest friend now that Eamon is gone.
But there are threats in the Testing beyond what Lukas could have prepared her for. And no one could have imagined the danger Eva unleashes when she discovers a Relic that shakes the Aerie to its core.

After surviving the Hunger Games–like Testing, Eva becomes the Aerie''s first female Archon. The second installment of the Books of Eva continues the harrowing struggle between past and present, Aerie and Boundary.
Eva is the first Maiden in Aerie history to train as an Archon: a sacred leader of the New North. All eyes are watching as she prepares to uncover the Relics of the evil past. Wounds remain, both from the harrowing Testing and the murder of her brother, Eamon, but she has learned to feign grace. And although she is betrothed to Jasper, she still finds herself drawn to Lukas, a Boundary dweller and former servant who may know who killed her twin brother.
Her relationship with Lukas is forbidden. And his conviction that she is the Angakkuq, a mystical figure destined to destroy the Aerie, is even more dangerous. On her very first Archon expedition, she uncovers the Genesis, the legendary ship that brought the Founders to the New North; its contents threaten the fragile balance between the Aerie and the Boundary. Eva''s world is shattered, but she may be the only one—as both Archon and Angakkuq—who can prevent a war that will annihilate their entire civilization.

“Fascinating history and assured storytelling” make this art-theft mystery “one of those rare thrillers that both entertain and intrigue” (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times–bestselling author of The Mephisto Club). When lawyer Mara Coyne lands a career-making case at her powerful Manhattan law firm, she’s certain she’s on her way to becoming partner. All Mara has to do is prove that the lost Dutch masterwork the prestigious Beazley Auction House is about to sell rightfully belongs to their client, and not Hilda Baum, despite her shocking claim. According to Hilda, the daughter of a Dutch art collector who died in the Holocaust, The Chrysalis was once part of her father’s collection. It’s a challenge Mara is more than up for—until she discovers that Beazley’s in-house counsel is Michael Roarke, a man who has long had a hold on her heart. But once she is deep into the case—and sparks a secret affair with Michael—she starts to suspect that Hilda Baum’s tragic tale is true. And that the man she’s falling hard for is not the man he seems. Spanning centuries and continents, The Chrysalis is a fascinating blend of art and history, a high-stakes mystery that will keep readers enthralled to the very last page. “Quick, sure images, tight storytelling, solid suspense. A tense and vivid tale.” —Steve Berry, New York Times–bestselling author of The Alexandria Link “Heather Terrell . . . interweaves the stories of three centuries into a dark cocoon of intrigue and suspense.” —Katherine Neville, New York Times–bestselling author of The Eight “A tale that’s not only ‘ripped from the headlines’ but captures some of that Da Vinci Code cachet.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - E-bokEngelska, 2025

A sleuth searching for a lost map uncovers historical controversy in this thriller “as smart and well written as it is inventive, original, and surprising” (M. J. Rose, New York Times–bestselling author of The Reincarnationist). Mara Coyne has a reputation as an art sleuth after successfully reuniting stolen art with its rightful owners. But when her latest client hires her to recover a centuries-old map that has gone missing from an archaeological dig in China, her keen intuition tells her that the client’s intentions are far from pure. As she follows the trail of the map’s history from Ming Dynasty origins to the map’s reappearance aboard the ship of explorer Vasco da Gama, Mara realizes the map is more valuable than she ever imagined. And that its recovery could reveal some shattering truths some would do anything to silence. Weaving rich historical detail and astounding facts, The Map Thief is a riveting thriller that takes readers on an epic international journey through the criminal underworld of stolen artifacts. “Provocative, well-documented, and evocative.” —Javier Sierra, New York Times–bestselling author of The Secret Supper - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

With the help of Lukas, her family’s servant from the Boundary lands, Eva learns the ways of the outcasts who live in the brutal and icy world beyond Aerie.

This knowledge is exactly what she needs to survive—and win—the harsh trials of the Testing. Leaving the safety of Aerie behind gives Eva a chance to realize how strong she can be in the face of adversity—and how brave she’ll have to become in a society built on the shifting snows of lies . . . “Heather Terrell excavates a richly realized and adventurous world from the iced-over wreck of our own.” —William Alexander, National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets “Part post-apocalyptic fiction and part high fantasy . . . Delicately weaving in elements of Inuit culture as well as elements you might find in Game of Thrones, Heather Terrell creates a world that is as intricate as it is icy . . . A page-turner.” —E. Kristen Anderson, editor of Dear Teen Me - E-bokEngelska, 2024
