Synopsis

As a doctoral student at Trinity College Dublin, Darren Walton is trying to decode an elaborate conspiracy he stumbled across as an undergraduate. To do so he must locate an alternate Ireland named Camland, the existence of which is proven when he discovers a literary journal whose contents mirror his own past. With proof of his wild theories, Darren is sure academic fame is imminent. But for this he is willing to sacrifice not just his sanity and physical safety, but also his relationships with the ones who love him most.

In breathless prose, Declan Toohey weaves a contemporary yarn of academic intrigue and youthful irreverence, sexual fluidity and neurodiversity. Experimental, trippy, hilarious, compassionate,
Perpetual Comedown is a riotous reckoning in the construction of the self.

    In a world ruled by gods and torn by rebellion, a serf-turned-rebel must face the man she once loved—and the betrayal that broke them.  Maera grew up knowing she wasn’t allowed to want anything—not freedom, not safety, and definitely not the overlord’s son. When the world tore her life apart, she focused on survival. Now she lives among rebels, taking dangerous missions…because fighting for what comes next hurts less than remembering what she lost.   Aelric serves the gods and no one else, and he fights in their war with lethal skill and a winged war horse that answers only to him. But beneath his armor and discipline lies a truth he’s carried for a decade: he loved Maera, he lost her, and he’s never managed to let her go.   When fate brings Maera and Aelric face-to-face, the distance they’ve built collapses, revealing longing and grief. And betrayal.   As war and rebellion loom, they must confront their buried love, the scars of betrayal, and a secret that could change everything.   Unwritten by the Gods is a standalone romantasy novella set in the world of the Eternal Wars series by Caty Rogan. Brought to life in duet audio, it is perfect for fans of gorgeously crafted, high stakes fantasy with equal levels of yearning and spice.   Listen for tropes:  Second chance romance  Forbidden romance  It’s always been you  Good girl  Secret rebellion  Perfect for fans of:  Sable Sorenson  Penn Cole  Carissa Broadbent  Briar Boleyn

Having lost all his money, their father is serving as a chaplain for the Union Army in the American Civil War, far from home. The mother and daughters face their first Christmas without him. When Marmee asks her daughters to give their Christmas breakfast away to an impoverished family, the girls and their mother venture into town laden with baskets to feed the hungry children. When they return, they discover their wealthy, elderly neighbor Mr. Laurence has sent over a decadent surprise dinner to make up for their breakfast. The two families become acquainted following these acts of kindness.

    It’s early 1860, and war hero Captain Nathaniel Chambers, commander U.S. Army Fort Davis in the west Texas wilderness, has received shocking news – his father is dead. He must return home to Virginia and claim his inheritance before a maniacal neighbor can murder his widowed mother and seize the family plantation. 
    But he’s torn by a terrible dilemma – to stay in the army and turn his back on his fortune, his mother and his beloved childhood home, or become the thing he despises; a slave master! Is there no other choice?  
    An epic journey across a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, unwittingly on the brink of an unimaginable disaster; the American Civil War. Nathan Chambers has left the violent army life behind in Texas, never imaging he’s on the very Road to The Breaking.
