Sinopsis

'1840s Ireland was a country rife with absolute cruelty and horror. Somehow, love managed to stay alive there. Dunne's Athenry captures this masterfully.' —Phil Coulter, Irish music legend and author.
'An epic story, a delightful read, with a poetic flow.' —Malachy McCourt, New York Times Bestselling Author
'Epic storytelling at its finest. From the first page, you're swept into a world of heartbreak and hope that will stay with you forever. This is the Irish Famine novel we've been waiting for.' —Michelle O'Mahony, OM-History Consultant, author of Famine in Cork City and contributor to The Atlas of the Great Irish Famine




'Tell her I'll come back to her; tell her I'll find a way.' Ireland, Autumn 1845.
The potato blight turns green fields black overnight. A million will die. A million more will flee. But Liam O'Donaghue refuses to watch his family starve. In the shadow of Galway's cliffs, Liam has carved out a life training Connemara ponies while working on his landlord's estate and loving his wife Máire. When their newborn son arrives, their happiness seems complete. But when the Great Famine strikes with merciless fury, survival becomes the only currency that matters.
One desperate night. One choice that changes everything.
Torn from the only world he's ever known, Liam must find his way across unforgiving landscapes, oceans and continents. From the desperation of the famine, where a man's life is worth less than a bag of grain, to the abundance of Australian gold rushes, where he meets his friend Kumba. Together, they journey onward to the California gold rushes, chasing fortune and the hope of return. Meanwhile, Máire faces her own battle to keep their son alive in a land where hope itself has withered. From the green hills of Connemara to shores unknown, this is the story of love tested by impossible odds and the fierce determination of the Irish heart.
An epic historical saga of survival, sacrifice and the unbreakable bonds of family.

    To the naked eye, Deuce is living the dream as the infamous wide receiver for the Atlanta Demons. He has it all, and nothing is stopping him from gaining more, until he comes across a situation that takes him back to his painful childhood. In a split-second, rage sparks within Deuce, and his actions threaten everything he's built, but in his mind, there is no other way to address the situation he stumbled upon. 
    Koya wants to help Deuce, but he's hesitant to allow her to do so. She knows she'll have to try hard to convince Deuce that even though she works for the Atlanta Demons, she has his best interest at heart. As Koya works hard to show her loyalty to Deuce, her heart breaks open for him, and she realizes that she wants to be the person who helps heal him. She wants to be the advocate and lifeline Deuce never had but deserved. 
    Koya and Deuce's journey can either be the most beautiful love story one could imagine, or it could be a disaster that blows up not only their personal lives but also their professional ones. They'll have to decide what's most important to them along the way and hope they can come out on the other end whole.

    The most hopelessly enslaved consider themselves free.  
    A mysterious, ancient manuscript is found two miles underground in a gold mine. Archaeologists are fascinated, and the story gains the attention of the Vatican.  
    Archaeologist Dr. Manuel Consuleo is intrigued by the artifact, and believes it will divulge information never previously accessible to humans. This other-worldly manuscript will confirm his notions, once he is finally able to examine it, under the watchful eye of the Vatican. 
    However, his conclusions outrage the clergy. Is humanity free, or are we the subjects of invisible overlords? Is control exerted on this earth through the reign of kings, priests and dictators, as shills for the overlords?  
    In this remarkable novel, author Lorin Brandon imagines human existence in a different light; one that establishes our true existence and allows to imagine greater freedoms, instead of complacent control and manipulation. Perhaps this artifact possesses the potential to enable humanity to envision a more liberated, truthful existence.

    "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot" ninth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.
    Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves at Poldhu in Cornwall one spring for the former's health, but the holiday ends with a bizarre event. Mr. Mortimer Tregennis, a local gentleman, and Mr. Roundhay, the local vicar, come to Holmes to report that Tregennis's two brothers have gone insane, and his sister has died. Tregennis had gone to visit them in their village ('Tredannick Wollas'), played whist with them, and then left. When he came back in the morning, he found them still sitting in their places at the table, the brothers, George and Owen, laughing and singing, and the sister, Brenda, dead. The housekeeper had discovered them in this state, and fainted. The vicar has not been to see them yet. Tregennis says that he remembers one brother looking through the window, and then he himself turned to see some "movement" outside. He declares that the horrific event is the work of the devil. Mortimer Tregennis was once estranged from his siblings by the matter of dividing the proceeds from the sale of the family business, but he insists that all was forgiven, although he still lives apart from them. The doctor who was summoned, reckoned that she had been dead for six hours. He also collapsed into a chair for a while after arriving.
