Swift as a Shadow: An Avery Nolan Adventure, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min
Avery Nolan has a secret. A secret she guards fiercely. But everyone has secrets. Her mother, who draws pictures of nightmarish creatures. Her grandmother with her padlocked shed. Her student with the pale eyes and brooding father. Leaving Sacramento after her divorce, Avery retreats to Tahoe with her golden retriever, Basil, looking for change, but as her grandmother always told her, “Be careful what you wish for.” After Basil discovers a hidden clearing with three standing stones, everything that Avery thinks she knows is suddenly upended. Each move she makes brings her closer to a world imagined only in fairy tales and to unraveling the secrets her family has guarded for decades - secrets that will give Avery more adventure than she ever thought imaginable. ungekürzt.

The King's Treasure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
Young Cecilia Danet was introduced to the opulent world of royalty when she joined the court of King Louis XIV. Being groomed her whole life for the role of a courtesan prepared her for everything except the intense passion she felt with the brooding and powerful Louis.

Inspired by the reign of Louis XIV and the classic works of Alexander Dumas, The King's Treasure (previously published as The Sun King) is a fictionalized historical romance. Although this audiobook features historical figures, it is the product of the author's imagination and should not be construed as fact.

The Woodlanders, Hörbuch, Digital, 168min
Grace Melbury, the only daughter of a timber-merchant, arrives home in Little Hintock after an expensive education and her father looks to find a husband for her. There are two rivals for her hand: Giles Winterborne, a good-hearted yeoman and her childhood sweetheart; and Edred Fitzpiers, an ambitious young doctor of good family. Fitzpiers wins her, but the mismatch brings unhappiness not just to the young couple, but to a wider circle in the woodland community. The Woodlanders is one of Hardy's most powerful works and the one he liked best. With brooding sexual undertones, it addresses themes about which the author held strong views: the laws of divorce, the inequalities of society, and the uncertainty of land tenure. Language: English.
