Otto of the Silver Hand The Little Lame Prince Men of Iron The Enchanted Castle The Princess and the Goblin * The Princess and Curdie * Additional Info... I really prefer Librivox to most other online audio book sites, as it is FREE, classic/public domain literature, easy to search, is fairly good quality and has a wide variety of resources for children! Nearly all I've listed are via Librivox. Librivox also lists the chapter titles when you go to click to listen and most of the chapters describe the topic fairly well so that you can apply it to a correct SOTW chapter... but I can't be sure until I listen to them as our school year progresses. Also, at times some of the audio book readers are harder to listen to than others, and we simply move on if we are struggling to listen to them or the chosen book. I've marked all the resources I've personally listened to (at least in part) with a *. I tend to find EVERY resources I can and mark it down in our planner with the understanding some will be flops, over my children's level or just not enjoyed. We then cut them out of our list and move on to the next thing, no sweat! Some of the books I've included are not historical. I've included fictional and fantasy that seem to capture the thematic qualities of SOTW Volume #2 and I've filled them in under chapters that we have less resources and reading for just for our personal enjoyment!

"The Vanguard... was the best bet... I ever... lost..." The last words of the infamous Cayde-6. After he died, his protégé brought his body back to the Vanguard, and was given a Vanguard burial. While everyone mourned the loss of Cayde, his protégé unleashed her wrath upon Uldren Sov and his barons with the help of Petra Venj. But unbeknownst to Cayde's protégé, Petra, The Vanguard, and everyone else who knew him, it wasn't his final death. After his life slipped away in the Prison of Elders, Cayde suddenly woke up in the middle of the desert. There he finds a group of robots, claiming to be a race of cybernetic organisms called Cybertronians. Cayde is naturally suspicious, however does admit that these new robots are neither Vex nor Exo's. After these 'Autobots' introduce themselves, they, along with Cayde, are suddenly ambushed by another group of Cybertronians called 'Decepticons'. In this new world, Cayde quickly realizes that he'll have to continue his duty of being a protector of the innocent...
