The priest Kai Schweigaard, now in his eighties, is wondering how his death, prophesied in a centuries-old tapestry, will come to pass. He delves into the myths about the Night of the Scourge, which, according to old village beliefs, is when the known world will be scraped down to bare rock.Then Norway is occupied by the Nazis.

A fekete rózsa
Azt mondják, fekete rózsa nem létezik. Színe csupán fények játéka, árnyalatok keltette látszat. Sommer Anna azonban nap mint nap ott látja a szőlőben, a sorok végébe ültetve. Vajon egyszer megtudja majd, milyen is a színe valójában?
Anna, vagy ahogy a családban hívják, Annus, Etyeken nő fel, ezen a szőlődombok övezte, magyarok, svábok, zsidók lakta településen. Alig tizennégy éves, amikor kitör a második világháború, és nemcsak bevonuló édesapja és két ikerbátyja sorsa miatt kell aggódnia, hanem a nála két évvel idősebb Andrisért is, akihez már nem csupán ártatlan, gyerekes vonzalom fűzi.Andris felmenői - szíjgyártók és borászok - a török kiűzése után messzi bajor földről érkeztek Etyekre. A faluban azt beszélik, hogy Andris nagyapja, a szőlőhegyen remeteéletet élő Vénember, különleges bort tud készíteni. Olyan bort, amelyben nemcsak az van benne, aki készítette, de az is, aki issza. Talán még a jövendőt is meglátja, aki kortyol belőle. Egyszer Annus is megkóstolta. Lehet, hogy ezért tűnik fel előtte újra meg újra egy fekete márványlap, belevésett nevekkel, köztük azéval, akit mindenkinél jobban szeret?
A háború, az utána következő politikai változások, a kitelepítések a falu és Annus életét is fenekestül felforgatják. Az egyedül maradt lány felköltözik a szőlőhegyre, a Vénemberhez, abban reménykedve, hogy Andris visszatér. Ám szerelme helyett valaki más érkezik, és Annust minden korábbinál nagyobb próbatétel várja. Vajon lesz elég ereje és bátorsága legyőzni a kishitűséget, a reménytelenséget, sőt még a halált is? Megőrizni a szerelmet, megfejteni a fekete rózsa és a Vénember különleges borának a titkát?
BAUER BARBARA személyes élmények és érzések ihlette regénye egy sorsfordító, családokat szétszakító, fájdalmas történelmi korszak, egy sorozatos tragédiákat elszenvedő, de élni akaró falu és egy igaz szerelem hiteles, megrendítő története.

A fényes kard
Egy Collum nevű, tehetséges ifjú lovag érkezik Camelotba, hogy felvételt nyerjen a Kerekasztal tagjai közé, de már elkésett: Arthur király két héttel korábban elesett a camlanni csatában, és csupán maroknyi lovag maradt életben.
A túlélők azonban nem legendás hősök, mint Lancelot vagy Gawain, hanem a Kerekasztal különcei, köztük Sir Palomides, a szaracén, és Sir Dagonet, Arthur udvari bolondja, akit csak tréfából ütöttek lovaggá. Mellettük pedig csak Nimue áll, Merlin egykori tanítványa, aki elárulta és egy domb alá zárta mesterét.
Rájuk hárul a feladat, hogy újjáépítsék Camelotot ebben a kibillent világban: bár a kereszténység Istene magára hagyta Britanniát, Morgan le Fay vezetésével visszatértek a királyságba a tündérek és a régi istenségek. A lovagoknak fel kell kutatniuk az Excaliburt, hogy a romokban heverő ország ismét egyesülhessen, ám előtte még meg kell fejteniük, hogyan bukhatott el a magányos és nagyszerű Arthur király.
A fényes kard az új évezred első nagy arthuri eposza, a hagyományokhoz hűen tele párbajokkal és kalandokkal, csatákkal és lovagi tornákkal, varázskardokkal és halászkirályokkal. Ugyanakkor esendő és mégis erős férfiak és nők története, akik annak ellenére próbálják meggyógyítani széttört világukat, hogy őket magukat is megtörte az élet.
