Sinopse

In The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy brings her legendary hero to one of his most dangerous confrontations yet. France remains gripped by Revolutionary terror, and the guillotine claims lives daily. Against this backdrop, Sir Percy Blakeney — the Scarlet Pimpernel — embarks on another perilous rescue mission. But his cunning adversary Chauvelin is more determined than ever to crush him, laying intricate traps that strike at Percy's courage, loyalty, and even his marriage to Marguerite. Love and devotion collide with vengeance and political ruthlessness in a battle of wits that tests the very limits of the Pimpernel's brilliance. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, this novel captures the heart-pounding excitement that made the Scarlet Pimpernel one of the greatest adventure heroes in literature.

    Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy US marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. 
     
     
     
    After a childhood picking cotton, Reeves became an expert marksman under his master's tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master's mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves's determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. 
     
     
     
    Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man's exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 1 of 7 The Tale of Elizabeth Southerns/Old Demdike 
    This is the first book in the series and is fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Elizabeth Southerns, known as Old Demdike, was a healer living in a crooked cottage at the foot of Pendle Hill. Skilled in herbal remedies, she was both respected and feared by villagers. One evening, a mysterious boy with coal-black eyes offered her power to protect her family in exchange for her loyalty. Desperate, Demdike accepted a black stone, gaining heightened abilities but at a cost. Her granddaughter Alizon’s curse on a peddler sparked accusations of witchcraft. Demdike and her family were arrested. In her damp cell, weakened and betrayed, she refused the boy’s offer to renounce her family for freedom. Before her death, she cursed her accusers, her spirit lingering on Pendle Hill. Her story became a haunting reminder of injustice, her whispers carried by the wind, ensuring her legacy endured. 
    This is the first in a series of seven audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
    I have worked very hard to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
    The story itself runs to about 15 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.  
    The Book itself is divided into parts, Opening, The Gift and Curse, The Pact, The Downfall, The Final Curse and Epilogue.

    Born a year apart, May and June Anderson were once as close as twins. Time and a loveless marriage changed the once vibrant May into June's timid counterpart. Now, two years after June abruptly disappeared, May receives a letter from her sister, inviting her to visit a mysterious colony in southern California. Eager to match June's boldness for once, May doesn't hesitate. 
     
     
     
    The Colony is located in a magnificent Spanish Revival-style mansion perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, and is presided over by the group's charismatic leader, Rex. Colony members believe in an afterlife where departed souls mingle, and that the truly enlightened can even summon back the spirits of lost loved ones. May is told that June has recently left on a mission, and she's intrigued enough to accept Rex's invitation to stay until her sister's return. 
     
     
     
    Drawn deeper into the group, and under Rex's seductive spell, May undergoes their initiation ceremony. Yet her questions grow more urgent with June's continued absence—and the warnings of a presumptuous but charming undercover investigator. May has longed for the daring, adventurous life her sister pursued, but her arrival has sparked a dangerous unraveling within the Colony, where nothing and no one is quite as it seems.
