Brimming with intrigue, tension, and emotional depth, Murmurs of the Monarchy is a masterclass in slow-burning suspense and regal drama. Perfect for listeners drawn to political fantasy, rich character dynamics, and the thrill of secrets just waiting to be exposed.

  Preacher leads a search party for a missing woman—and finds himself caught in the crossfire of cutthroat kidnappers, savage Sioux warriors, and one cunning captive . . . 
   
   
   
  Preacher is heading home to the mountains when he's approached by a wealthy European with an unusual proposition. He wants the legendary mountain man to track down his missing cousin—a reckless young woman who fled to America with her lover—and he's willing to pay a small fortune to find her. Preacher isn't one to get mixed up in the affairs of fancy foreigners, but he reluctantly agrees. The search is on. Striking westward from St. Louis, Preacher quickly begins to suspect that this search party is doomed. And this trail will lead to some very dead ends . . . 
   
   
   
  First off, they discover that the missing woman's American lover was killed by Teton Sioux years ago. Secondly, the murderous Knox gang heard about the rich European's fortune and plan to kidnap him for a ransom. Thirdly, a fierce band of Sioux warriors launch an attack on Preacher and his men. Things are looking pretty grim. But the biggest shock of all comes when Preacher finally meets the missing woman herself—and sees what she did to survive . . .

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  When Francis House enlists in the British Army in 1907, at the tender age of fifteen years and three months, he is not thinking about war. He imagines he simply wants to earn his stripes – to ease his traumatised father's Boer War memories, or perhaps to please his favourite sister, Lily, with whom he has always dreamt of adventure. But he soon discovers that simply becoming a soldier is not enough and, against the advice of his sergeant, he determines to seek out a real fight. Wading ashore at Gallipoli seven years later, Francis thinks he might just have found the site of his greatest opportunity. Here, he thinks, he might finally prove himself a man. First, though, he must find his missing friend Berto.
  He needs to say sorry. He cannot yet imagine the ghosts that might stand in his way.

  This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis of the book. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
  In a remote Colorado town in the 1940s, seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash shoulders the burden of her family’s farm after tragedy strips her of a mother, aunt, and cousin. Her life changes when she encounters Wil, a drifter whose Indigenous identity marks him as an outsider in a prejudiced community. Their forbidden love sets off a chain of choices that will haunt Victoria for decades—through the violence that takes Wil’s life, the secret child she must abandon, and the forced flooding of her hometown when the valley is dammed to build a reservoir. With only her orchard of peach trees and her enduring will, Victoria must learn to survive loss, displacement, and silence. Flowing like the river itself, her story is about resilience, memory, and the quiet strength of choosing to live on despite everything taken away.
