Sinopsis

The Uncrowned King is a sweeping historical romance set in the glittering yet treacherous courts of Renaissance Europe. At its heart is a nobleman whose brilliance, charm, and ambition make him a ruler in everything but name. Surrounded by political intrigue, jealous rivals, and dangerous passions, he must navigate a perilous path between love and power. His devotion to a woman of courage and grace becomes both his strength and his greatest vulnerability, as betrayal and loyalty clash in a world where crowns are won not only by bloodlines but by cunning. Baroness Orczy brings her gift for drama, romance, and richly detailed historical settings to this story of love, ambition, and destiny, painting a portrait of a man who wielded influence far greater than his title.

    After Fort Dodge, wagon master Bruce Cowan had hoped the journey to Wagon Mound would get easier. That lasted but a few days. 
     
     
     
    It horrified the settlers when they came across the burning remains of a smaller wagon train. Not one survivor. Bandits attacked this time, not Indians. 
     
     
     
    Every day brings a fresh crisis. Trent and Pat, the McLeod brothers, with their gun fighting skills, provide Bruce and the wagon train protection and much needed guidance. Sometime even that isn't enough when they face mother nature at her most destructive. 
     
     
     
    The savage Comanches are on the warpath. The Arapahos are also on a killing spree since the massacre of Sand Creek. Trent and Pat do their best to avoid these threats. When attacked, many times by surprise, there are deadly consequences. 
     
     
     
    Throughout it all, Trent tries his best to get closer to Becky Cowan. Just when he thinks things are going well, something else comes up to drive a wedge between them again. 
     
     
     
    The settlers must remain on guard at all times as obstacles confront them. Will the Cowans reach Wagon Mound or perish in the desert as others have before them? Should they continue their perilous journey west or leave the trail and set up their homestead?

    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.

The audiobook follows Lale Sokolov, a young Jewish man who finds himself imprisoned in the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, where survival is a daily struggle against brutality and despair. However, Lale’s story is not just about survival; it is about the power of love, resilience, and hope when faced with unimaginable horrors.
     
    Lale is chosen to become the tattooist of Auschwitz, a role that, while providing some semblance of safety, forces him to confront the dehumanizing nature of the camp. As he tattoos identification numbers onto fellow prisoners, Lale’s path crosses with that of Gita Furman, a fellow prisoner who becomes his source of hope and strength. Their relationship, born in the most dire of circumstances, becomes a beacon of love and connection in a world where both seem impossible.
