  Now in one volume: The complete historical romance saga—from the Scottish Highlands to the Court of Versailles—by an international-bestselling author. The Macdonald Romances collection brings together two Scottish tales of passion, intrigue, and love by Evelyn Anthony.  Clandara: It’s unthinkable—but beautiful, headstrong Katharine Fraser has fallen in love with the eldest son of her father’s longtime enemy. Notorious nobleman James Macdonald of Dundrenan is ready to sacrifice all for the woman he loves. But the fated struggle to restore the prince to the throne results in a fiery call to arms across Scotland—and a tragedy that threatens to divide the star-crossed lovers. As James vows to fight against the invading British Army, Katharine must follow her own path, even as it leads her into the arms of another man, far from the heart of her true desires and her beloved home of Clandara.  The French Bride: To settle his gambling debts and avoid being sent to the Bastille, Charles Macdonald is given an ultimatum: He must marry his cousin, the beautiful, innocent Anne de Bernard—who also happens to be the richest woman in France. However, the dissolute Charles wants only to return to the bed of his mistress, the Baroness Louise de Vitale. When Anne is brought to Versailles at the king’s command, the inexperienced bride is no match for Louise’s wiles. As two women fight for the love of one man, a deadly intrigue will unfold that could destroy one life as it transforms another.   Set against a rich historical canvas—from eighteenth-century Scotland to the French Courts—and peopled by such real-life figures as Bonnie Prince Charlie, King Louis XV, Madame du Barry, and future queen Marie Antoinette, the Macdonald Romances are prize-winning Anthony at her spellbinding best.

  Step into the twilight of Alexandria, where the fall of the Lighthouse and the Great Library ignites an odyssey of knowledge, sacrifice, and redemption. The Last Theorem of Hypatia is an immersive historical audiobook that intertwines the decay of a city under siege with the mysticism of Hellenistic philosophy, tracing the fates of three souls bound by a mechanical star map that holds the essence of a lost era. 
  Through vivid prose and rich sensory detail, listeners are plunged into Alexandria’s collapse in 642 CE: the shattering of bronze mirrors, the echoes of Coptic chants reverberating through dusty ruins, and the relentless pulse of an artifact that could either save or bury its legacy. Meet Nazanine of Ctesiphon, a scholar obsessed with preserving Hypatia’s wisdom; Kassander of Thessalonica, a scarred mercenary driven by hatred for academics yet drawn to the chaos’s gold; and Papo, a blind monk whose faith and prophecies guide his path to redemption. 
  From the fractured mirror chamber of the Lighthouse to the buried depths of the Library, where ancient gears awaken and traps guard forgotten secrets, this epic narrative explores the cost of conquest, the power of knowledge, and the fragile hope of rebirth. Blending meticulous historical detail with the enchantment of Alexandrian lore, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a gripping journey through a world on the brink—where the past murmurs in spirals, the present trembles, and the future hinges on an uncertain dawn. 
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, ancient philosophy, and tales of destiny and sacrifice, this audiobook transports you to the heart of 7th-century Egypt—a land of scholars, warriors, and beacons where every decision resonates through time. Narrated with passion and depth, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a haunting tribute to a lost civilization and the souls who bear its light.
