Centurion’s
Daughter by Justin Swanton “I found Aemilia a most appealing character and the way of telling her story to be refreshingly subtle. In addition, the story seems carefully researched and the author brought this time period alive....I suppose one could call this a YA book but it held my interest the entire time, as any well-written book would regardless of intended age group. Highly recommended.” —Happy Catholic Blog
“This was not a book dashed off and rushed to publication but something that had been lovingly labored over....First of all, let me say, I loved it....I strongly recommend this book and would say it is appropriate for young ladies and gentleman 15 years and older and their parents of course. This would be a great Christmas gift, Confirmation gift for your Confirmandi or addition to a High School Curriculum.” —Latin Mass Network
Written and illustrated by master storyteller Justin Swanton, Centurion’s Daughter is a thoughtful and compelling journey to a little-known period of history when an empire fell and the foundations of Christendom were laid. More... |

Angels
in
Iron by Nicholas C. Prata “Prata brings this fascinating tale to life by giving the characters real personalities. They are not mere pawns used to further the plot of the story. Interesting subplots abound....The overwhelming theme is courage, honor, and the Catholic faith.” —Favorite Resources for
Catholic Homeschoolers
“This is a book that belongs on the bookshelf of every Catholic man, should be read by every Catholic boy, and stocked by every Catholic school library.” —Latin
Mass Magazine

Belisarius Book II: Glory of the Romans by Paolo A. Belzoni “With Belisarius II, Paolo Belzoni continues to demonstrate his incomparable mastery of all the historic resources for the life of our hero, as well as an informed imagination to sustain a storyline that cannot be forgotten or much improved. I enjoyed the second volume as much as or even more than the first. Now, for number three! ” —Right
Rev. Constantine-Paul Michael Belisarius,
Patriarchal Archimandrite of Alexandria (Melkite Greek Catholic
Patriarchate)
His tremendous victory over the Persians at the Battle of Daras wins Belisarius the adulation of a victory-starved empire but also the envy of his peers in Constantinople. The emperor Justinian now tasks his gifted young general with an even more difficult assignment: a campaign against the powerful Vandal kingdom in North Africa. But before Belisarius can set out on this seemingly impossible mission, he must prove his loyalty amid the ruins of a capital shattered by riot and rebellion. More... |

Belisarius Book I: The First Shall Be Last by Paolo A. Belzoni “An ambitious tale, filled with action, spectacle, and intrigues of all kinds....painstakingly authentic in its historical, military, and religious detail, assiduously researched and replete with facts.” —CatholicFiction.net
“A great new resource for those of you “reading your
way through history.”...What I really like about this telling of the
story is that it is not a white-washed version of the times, or of
Belisarius....He is an appealing character, one the reader
sympathizes with and roots for.”

Catholic Homeschoolers

Crown
of
the
World Book I: Knight of the Temple by Nathan Sadasivan “I’m a constant reader of both military history and historical fiction, and Knight of the Temple was one of the best historical novels I’ve read in years. The characters were well-developed, appealing, and unpredictable....The author does everything well – plotting, character, dialogue, and even landscape description.” —Cynthia
Wright,
homeschooling
mother
of
nine
“Knight of the Temple
is written in a style of
historical fiction that was prevalent in American Catholic literature
several decades ago and follows in the footsteps of such Catholic
classics as The Outlaws of
Ravenhurst and the novels of Louis de Wohl,
but with greater intensity....Knight
of the Temple is a really excellent work, fraught
with tension, that hooks us for part two.”
—Phillip D. Campbell,
III, in St. Austin Review
Here is the tale of Godfrey de Montferrat, a young Templar knight who swore an oath to defend the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It is also the tale of that kingdom, which men called Outremer—The Land Beyond the Sea. More... |

Niamh
and
the
Hermit A Fairy Tale by Emily C. A. Snyder “A beautifully written, morally sound, thoughtful, compelling and entertaining book. It's difficult to do justice to this sort of book after only one reading, but I was very impressed with the beautiful writing, rich vocabulary, subtleties of humor and truth and the thoughtful lessons, characters and trials that make up the plot.” —Alicia
van Hecke, Favorite Resources for Catholic Homeschoolers
“Fantasy-lovers will embrace this opportunity to
glance into another world, alive and complicated. Catholics will find
many familiar themes....A literary jewel worthy to stand beside the
likes of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.”
—The Arlington Catholic
Herald
The daughter of a king and a fairy, the Princess Niamh is glorious fair—perhaps overly so. Her incredible beauty proves a curse for no man can withstand even a moment in her presence without running mad. More... |

Can by Luise Rinser “This amazing and poignant tale of two women in wartime Italy, and of how they were drawn graciously but inexorably, not only to faith, but to costly obedience, will remind readers of the annals of faith all down the centuries.” —Thomas
Howard, author of On Being Catholic
“A very good book to form people in an understanding of a vocation. And there are some powerful lines in it in that regard. People may think that one always is holy and attracted to religion, but that is often enough not the case. One can be called and have an aversion. That’s why I think the book has a lot to teach. In that respect, it is a true story.” —Sister Magdalene of
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, OCD
Two young women, Angelina and Guilia, run off to join the partisans in Italy during World War II to fight the occupying Germans. When Angelina is injured in battle, she finds herself locked in a spiritual struggle just as daunting as her physical battle against the Nazis. More... |

Martha
and
Chip by Katharine Sohler “A delightful book from a talented young writer....What a fabulous and fun fantasy adventure for young readers ages 9 through 12....Sohler also illustrated the book, so I tip my hat to her. Katharine Sohler is definitely a young writer and artist to keep your eye on!” —The Children and Teens Book Connection
“Martha and Chip is the hilarious “tail” of a fun-loving rat and an evil witch....I loved this book because it was so funny....Pure fun and fantasy, with dragons, talking rats, and manticores.” —Megan,
age 11, at Tween Book Reviews

The
Menagerie
of
Marsepink by Claudio R. Salvucci “The Menagerie of Marsepink is a great short read, especially if you enjoy the short stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The author delves into the issue of science divorced from metaphysics in a manner that is insightful, yet still entertaining for the reader. I highly recommend the book!” —Alyssa M. Hichborn on Amazon.com
A bright young zoology professor arrives at a prestigious Long Island college filled with jaded, materialistic scientists. But in a tower high above their heads, the college's angelic heiress devotedly watches over a collection of handmade animals made of a more mysterious stuff than cloth and string. A tribute to the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Menagerie of Marsepink is a moral allegory on the limits of natural science and the supernatural reality of the soul. This short story successfully captures the atmosphere and charm which characterize the works of the great 19th century scribe. More... |

The
Laviniad An Epic Poem by Claudio R. Salvucci “The Laviniad is a truly unique work....The author successfully writes in the style of the ancient epic in modern English. Lovers of classic tales will really appreciate the poetry and the plot. The poem reads easily and naturally with the flow and flavor of the ancient epics.” —Favorite
Resources
for
Catholic
Homeschoolers
“The poem manifests a genuinely classical feel, even as
it remains couched comfortably inside a vernacular with which the
modern reader is perfectly comfortable. On top of this, The Laviniad sports some finely
written passages and is simply a very involving and moving story.”
—Haverford Magazine
Set in ancient Italy, The Laviniad tells the story of Ascanius, the young son of the hero Aeneas, as he is thrust to the fore as leader of the Trojan remnant. Following the trials of this youth in the face of his hostile Italian neighbors, the author spins his enthralling yarn with tight, compelling poetry. More... |
