Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, The Historian is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe.

Toledo, 1108. King Alfonso VI is dying. Abraham Cohen is racing to finish the Testament—a philosophical foundation for everything the covenant has protected across three decades. When betrayal strikes and the brotherhood scatters across three continents, the plan requires one final audacious act: a navigator's calculations pointing toward lands beyond the western ocean. The concluding volume of The Translators of Toledo trilogy follows the covenant to its most daring contingency — planting seeds not just for the next generation, but for a future no living person will see.

Completed in the early 11th century, The Tale of Genji is considered the supreme masterpiece of Japanese prose literature, and one of the world's earliest novels. A work of great length, it comprises six parts, the first part of which (also called The Tale of Genji) is reprinted here. The exact origins of this remarkable saga of the nobility of Heian Japan remain somewhat obscured by time, although its author, Lady Shikibu Murasaki, presumably derived many of her insights into court life from her years of service with the royal family.
