  He Came to Fight for Liberty for All 
  Yves de Bourganes just wanted to make some money to support his widowed mother as she tried to keep the family farm afloat. He wouldn’t have minded some adventure, too. He didn’t expect to be sent to fight in a war between France’s constant nemesis Great Britain and her boisterous American colonies across the treacherous sea. When he arrives, he meets Amalie, a slave girl with a difficult past, and his fate changes entirely, as he learns that some paths lead to unexpected destinations. 
   
  The Path is Hedbor’s Rhode-Island novel in the Tales From a Revolution series, in which each standalone novel examines the American War of Independence as it unfolded in a different colony. If you like stirring stories of the people who didn’t quite make it into the pages of history, you’ll love The Path. 
   
  Narrated by Shamaan Casey, whose magnificent baritone has been compared to James Earl Jones, this unabridged audio production brings both the everyday and exceptional moments of The Path to life. 
   
  Listen to The Path today and see how the American Revolution’s road to freedom was sometimes far from smooth!

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Born in the crushing poverty of Valparaíso, Isabella "La Víbora" Velasco clawed her way to the bloody pinnacle of the international cocaine trade. From the violent streets of Nueva Esperanza to the sun-drenched, bullet-riddled avenues of Costa del Sol, she built an empire on innovation, ruthlessness, and a mountain of corpses. They called her La Madrina, the Godmother, a woman who commanded loyalty through fear and eliminated rivals with chilling precision, pioneering terrifying tactics like the motorcycle assassin and the infamous "Sol Marina Mall Mayhem." 
  But as her power grew, so did her paranoia, her cruelty touching even her own family, turning her sons into reluctant heirs of a cursed dynasty. Hunted by Colombian cartels, pursued by relentless US federal agents like Frank Miller, and betrayed from within, Isabella's reign of terror could not last forever. "Queen of the Sun Coast" is a shocking, fictionalized saga of ambition, power, and the devastating price of a life steeped in violence, inspired by one of history's most notorious female crime lords.
