  Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. 
  Born into a world both cruel and beautiful, young David Copperfield’s idyllic early childhood is shattered when his widowed mother marries the tyrannical Mr. Murdstone. Forced to endure the dark whims of his cold-hearted stepfather and his equally sinister sister, David’s innocence is violently stripped away. Cast out into the sprawling, unforgiving streets of nineteenth-century England, he must navigate an agonizing gauntlet of poverty, betrayal, and unyielding hardship. 
  Yet, amidst the suffocating darkness, sparks of warmth ignite. From the devotedly fierce servant Peggotty and the humble fishermen of Yarmouth, to the wonderfully eccentric Aunt Betsey Trotwood, David encounters a colorful cast of allies and adversaries who will forge his ultimate destiny. With nothing but his wits, his resilience, and his quiet yearning for love, he must carve out a legacy of his own in a society designed to keep him at the bottom. 
  Why you will love this: A true cornerstone of British Classic Fiction, this breathtaking bildungsroman weaves dark tragedy with profound Dickensian comedy. Listeners craving literary historical fiction, timeless character studies, and epic coming-of-age sagas will be utterly spellbound by this masterfully narrated audiobook experience. 
  About the Author: Charles Dickens remains one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era, renowned for his razor-sharp social critique, unforgettable character archetypes, and evocative prose. Highly autobiographical, David Copperfield is the masterpiece Dickens himself often called his "favorite child."

  She's found the perfect plan to avoid marriage . . . 
   
   
   
  Miss Frances Cherrington has long been criticized as independent and prickly. And she's fine with it. Truth be told, she'd prefer to be a spinster—damn her family's desires. But it's a conversation with the devilishly handsome yet highly infuriating Earl of Winthrop that inspires the perfect escape from her nuptial troubles. Frances could ensure that no one will marry her—by happily ruining her own reputation . . . 
   
   
   
  The Earl of Winthrop knows more about ruin than anyone suspects. He's just uncovered a secret that would tear his name—and everything he's worked for—to the ground. Certainly, marriage is out of the question . . . to say nothing of his growing attraction to the forthright and delectable Miss Cherrington. 
   
   
   
  Though all London is abuzz with Frances's "disgrace," she's determined to use her freedom however she sees fit. Even if it means spending more time with a man who sets her body on fire. But when Frances's misdeeds catch up to her, the ruinous disaster she finds herself in blazes out of control, taking all of her options with it.

  To anyone looking on, it would appear that a certain very young count is beset by too many enemies, especially considering that his Gift has nothing to do with combat. It’s as if the northern region that houses his county is a magnet for offworld invaders. But his enemies also include his competitors, and, of course, neighboring aristocrats who seek to seize the lands and assets of this impudent upstart, this Count Bulatov.Only what does the count himself think about all this? It would seem that he shrugs off any concerns. You see, he knows full well that it is he who is a threat to his enemies. And if they fail to understand this, that's their problem.

  Loyalty, redemption, and the power of love form the heart of Sheritta Bitikofer’s The Decimus Trilogy. Separated by more than a thousand years, two men connected by blood and an ancient gift—or curse—must come to terms with their pasts, their futures, and the wolf within them. 
    
  ~The Beast of Verona~ 
  Destined to take his father’s place as leader of their werewolf pack in Wyoming, Howard Lupus accepts his father’s demand that he go on a rite of passage to learn more about his heritage. Combing through dusty museum archives and old Roman ruins in Verona, Italy, is not his idea of a fun summer. Fortunately, he has the help of Marina D'Antuono, a cute but clumsy museum attendant with a passion for history. Together, they begin to uncover the story of his elusive gladiator ancestor. 
    
  In the year 69 AD, Decimus Rocius Lupus has no way of understanding the hideous truth about himself. A man cursed to share his body with the spirit of a beast, Decimus is impressed into the Roman army, captured as a traitor to the empire, then forced to perform in the Verona amphitheater. As a gladiator, he has no choice. He must kill or be killed. The beast within him wins the battles, but eats away at his soul. 
    
  As Howard and Marina trace his ancestor’s past, Howard fears losing control, just like Decimus. Can a woman like Marina ever come to accept the beast of Verona? 
   
  ~Amber Ashes~ 
   
  Following the trail of his werewolf ancestor, Howard Lupus heads to the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Candace Perry, the head of the excavations, shows him a villa with a mural of a man running with wolves and an engraved carnelian stone of a wolf. Could these be clues to finding Decimus? 
    
  Decimus has made a comfortable profit on his vineyard in Pompeii. While at the slave market, Decimus spots a foreign, dark haired woman with a fiery spirit. Aria is wary, but Decimus soon proves that in spite of his violent past, his heart is full of compassion. Then the volcano Vesuvius begins its ominous rumblings. Can Decimus save those he’s come to care for, or will the amber ashes of the volcano destroy them all? 
    
  As Howard uncovers more of his past, museum attendant Marina D'Antuono finds a letter describing a myth, a monster with golden eyes. Did Decimus survive the destruction of Pompeii? Complicating matters, Howard’s brother Eddie joins him, quickly falling for Candace. Will Marina forgive Howard for leaving her so suddenly in Verona? All he knows is that he must continue his quest to discover his past if he’s to help shape his pack’s future. 
    
  ~Saving the Beast~ 
  In pursuit of his mysterious ancestor, werewolf Howard Lupus travels to Ancona, Italy. Museum attendant Marina D'Antuono insists on going with him. They’re soon joined by Howard’s brother Eddie and his new love, Candace. Though Marina has learned the truth about Howard, and he’s falling hard for her, he tries to keep his distance. After all, what can a descendant of Decimus, a beast, offer a woman like her? 
    
  For the past two hundred years, Decimus has lived as a fisherman hermit outside the port town of Ancona. All he seeks is peace and solitude after causing so much pain and suffering in the lives of those around him. But one woman is determined to change that. Torn between loving her and keeping his peace, Decimus plans to run away again. But when pirates and barbarians threaten those he loves, the beast within is awakened once again. Will he let his past destroy his future?
