  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.

  What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.
