But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he is here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighbourhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust and completely abandoned. What's going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this...

    The Bones of Marianna: A Reform School, a Terrible Secret, and a Hundred-Year Fight for Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    With its manicured lawns and well-kept college-style buildings, the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida-the largest reform school in the country-always seemed like a model for how to turn wayward teens back into productive members of society. But for decades, the century-old school's alumni whispered about a nightmarish reality that lurked behind the gleaming facade - a legacy of beatings, sexual abuse, and even murder, the evidence buried in unmarked graves on the overgrown fringes of the property. In The Bones of Marianna, David Kushner tells the story of the unlikely crusaders who pushed Dozier's dark past into the light. A one-time high school football star, haunted by the memory of a departed teammate, spends years quarterbacking the fight to expose the truth, while an anthropologist uses cutting-edge technology to dig up grim secrets. Informed by months of reporting, Kushner delivers a gripping tale of hard-won justice-and exclusive details on more secrets that may be waiting to be unearthed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Kushner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/013081/bk_acx0_013081_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

There, amid the crumbling walls and overgrown brush, they encounter Wayne, another local student who was also lured to these ruins by a mysterious envelope.

Single mom Andrea Wentworth needs the town's fall festival to be a success-it's the key to her finally landing an impressive new job. Andrea knows her perfectly manicured corn maze on a charming local farm will be sure to wow everyone, but she didn't count on her enemy from high school, Zayne Rutledge, getting in her way. Former best friends, Andrea and Zayne had a falling out in senior year, and it seems Zayne's held a grudge ever since. Zayne's always been known as Rendezvous Falls' resident recluse and bad boy. The old farm was the perfect place to peacefully continue his woodworking business, but when Andrea shows up demanding he maintain the now-overgrown maze, seeing her again hits a nerve. Andrea was the one who changed in senior year, not Zayne. Still, she's just as feisty and beautiful as he remembers…and it's infuriating. With the festival quickly approaching, Andrea must find a way to make amends with Zayne. Twenty years have passed since the two spoke, but they can't ignore surprising old feelings returning between them. Could the unlikely partners realize what they've been missing all these years is each other?

    How to Save a Kingdom: The Journals of Myrth, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    Save a kingdom? Seriously? Twelve-year-old Greg Hart can barely save himself from the overgrown class bully, much less save a kingdom. And then only by running and hiding. But six months ago, Greg played a role in an unlikely prophecy foretold on the magical world of Myrth. Against all odds, he managed to survive. Now a second prophecy has been revealed, one featuring the "Hero Who Slayed Ruuan," and Greg is once again pulled into Myrth. Only Greg and a small band of friends know Ruuan still lives and Greg is no hero. Soon hundreds of thousands of Canaraza warriors will gather outside Pendegrass Castle to settle a score with King Peter and his army. Greg will be there too. With three generals battling by his side, the "hero" is expected to fight with the strength of ten men and make a difference that will lead the king to victory. The task seems impossible, but Greg learned from his first trip to Myrth that everyone will expect him to succeed anyway. After all, prophecies are never wrong. Until they are. ungekürzt.
