Orphia and Eurydicius / by John, Elyse,author.;
Their love transcends every boundary. Can it cheat death? Orphia dreams of something more than the warrior crafts she's been forced to learn. Hidden away on a far-flung island, her blood sings with poetry and her words can move flowers to bloom and forests to grow ... but her father, the sun god Apollo, has forbidden her this art. A chance meeting with a young shield-maker, Eurydicius, gives her the courage to use her voice. After wielding all her gifts to defeat one final champion, Orphia draws the scrutiny of the gods. Performing her poetry, she wins the protection of the goddesses of the arts: the powerful Muses, who welcome her to their sanctuary on Mount Parnassus. Orphia learns to hone her talents, crafting words of magic infused with history, love and tragedy. When Eurydicius joins her, Orphia struggles with her desire for fame and her budding love. As her bond with the gentle shield-maker grows, she joins the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece. Facing dragons, sirens and ruthless warriors on the voyage, Orphia earns unparalleled fame, but she longs to return to Eurydicius. Yet she has a darker journey to make - one which will see her fight for her love with all the power of her poetry.

Where the falcon flies : a 3,400 kilometre odyssey from my doorstep to the Arctic / by Shoalts, Adam,1986-author.;
"From Canada's most accomplished adventurer and storyteller comes another gripping journey into the vastness of Canada's landscape and history, following the route of the migrating peregrine falcon. In March of 2020, Adam Shoalts set out from his front porch--the first steps of an adventure that will change our sense of the way our everyday lives are connected to the vastness of our small planet. Shoalts portaged his canoe down his driveway to Lake Erie. From there he followed the migrating peregrine falcon all the way to the arctic. His quest meant paddling along the shores of the Great Lakes, then travelling up the Saguenay River, through the forests and into the tundra, and then the Torngat mountains. In his signature style, Shoalts roams as much across time as he does across space, winding his way through a stunning landscape and the sites of battles, shipwrecks, and forgotten trading posts that define our country's history. But more importantly, he shows, mile-by-mile, how even our own driveways are connected to the network of ecosystems that support life around the globe. A work of gripping adventure writing and polished storytelling, and a tale with an unavoidably urgent ecological warning, Where the Falcon Flies is a masterwork of one of Canada's most successful and audacious authors"--
