  The Everstorm is merciless—the people who live beneath it are even worse. 
  The earth has become a wasteland as a result of humanity's mistreatment. The sky has been dark for as long as anyone can remember, covered in an infinite roiling mass called The Everstorm. There are no trees. There is no hope. Unless, of course, you're one of the privileged who live in the protected cities beneath the domes. In these cities, there are trees, parks full of vibrant grass, and even waterfalls—all thanks to the solar energy harvested by those who have no choice but to brave the Everstorm. 
  Shipley Boden is a low-life working his way into the good graces of the Citizens, hoping one day to be allowed a living space beneath the protective dome. But when he stumbles upon an orphaned girl in the ruins of the past, he decides to deliver her to the nearest settlement and be done with it. When Shipley runs afoul of violent marauders who call themselves The Red Kings, he must draw upon all the knowledge he’s gained. Only now, he has a little girl to think about.

  Althea Ralston: 
  Author. 
  Professor. 
  Icon. 
  Liar.  
  Fifteen years ago, Lila Parks was a bright, eager student at Havenport University—handpicked and mentored by the legendary Professor Ralston.  
  Lila believed in Ralston’s message.  
  She trusted her.  
  Worshipped her. 
  Then, everything fell apart. 
  Behind the curtain of Ralston’s carefully crafted illusion, the truth was impossible to ignore: Lila’s mentor built her empire on deception and betrayal. 
  Today, the world sees Althea Ralston as a legend. Lila only sees the lie. 
  When an invitation to celebrate Ralston’s lifetime of achievement calls Lila back to Havenport, she knows she shouldn’t go. But this might be her only chance to confront the woman who destroyed her. 
  Surrounded by thousands of Ralston’s adoring fans and the ghosts of her past at Addison Hall, Lila begins to dig for proof of what she learned back then, of the monsters buried beneath that perfect smile. What she uncovers is darker—and far more sinister—than she ever expected. 
  To expose Ralston for what she truly is, Lila finds herself in a downward spiral of paranoia and suspicion, desperately searching for the key to toppling Ralston’s meticulous house of cards. But with every wrong turn, she finds herself closer to crumbling her own world instead. 
  Set against a gothic campus cloaked in ivy and secrets, this chilling, slow-burn suspense from two-million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin explores the blurred line between manipulation and brilliance—and what it costs to finally speak the truth.

  A New Nation

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  John and Jaylynn Mogen had just retired when a single phone call from Jaylynn’s brother, Colonel Carl Justine, pulled them into the restoration movement of the red and religious states of the former United States. From this turmoil emerged the Western Southern Alliance of States (WSA), which left the coastal regions behind as they slid toward socialism and communism. The Alliance aimed to restart the American Experiment as the Founders had intended. Western Canadian provinces joined the new nation, while parts of U.S. states broke away from socialist capitals to form new states. The borders of the WSA remained in flux. 
  Meanwhile, remnants of the deep state, loosely tied to the CIA and NSA, worked to undermine the new government through misinformation and assassination attempts. 
  John assembled constitutional scholars to draft a new WSA constitution, convened a constitutional convention, and began preparing for a national election. He and his allies had only months to complete this task while protecting Acting President John Mogen, his family, the scholars, and state delegates. 
  Old enemies sought alliance, making discernment essential. John’s goal was simple: launch the nation with an airtight constitution and place God-faithful leaders in power to give the country its best chance at success. Whether the states will unite or fracture under internal and external pressure remains uncertain. 
  Kent Thompson, a University of Wyoming history graduate, built a lifelong career in the oil industry after a summer refinery job. He supervised offshore platforms near Long Beach and worked with Navy SEAL TRADET in training exercises. Kent lives with his wife Susan in a small mountain town in Arizona. They have three grown children, two grandsons, and Kent remains a devoted student of the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers.

  The Prince and the Pauper

  Mark Twain

  "When I am king they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books, for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved."
  
  A classic tale of switched identities, Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper is both a rollicking adventure yarn and a sharp social satire.
  
  In bustling Tudor London, two boys are born into opposite worlds: Edward Tudor, heir to the English throne, and Tom Canty, a ragged pauper from the slums. When chance brings them together, their uncanny resemblance sparks a daring exchange of identities. Suddenly, the prince is cast into the harsh realities of poverty, experiencing the brutal life of a London pauper and becoming aware of the stark class inequality in England, while the pauper is thrust into the bewildering splendour of royal life where he must navigate ceremonies, politics, and suspicion convincingly to avoid exposure.
  
  Using his trademark wit and humour to highlight inequality and the absurdity of rigid social divisions, and to highlight Edward's journey towards becoming a humane ruler, The Prince and the Pauper is a skilful blend of historical detail and fast-paced storytelling.
  Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain (1835–1910), grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, and his early experiences inspired many of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Widely celebrated as America's greatest humorist, Twain captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation, and his sharp wit, keen eye for human nature, and gift for storytelling made him not only a beloved novelist but also a popular lecturer and essayist.
  
  Twain's innovative style, character-driven storytelling and ability to interweave humour with profound social critique laid the groundwork for modern American literature and has inspired countless authors, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Indeed, Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."
