Sinopse

An American anthropologist and her creative sister spend a year in the Orkney Islands trying to locate the burial site of a Viking princess from the 10th century. Much to their surprise, they find themselves embarking on an adventure much more meaningful than an archeological quest: they uncover an entire world of ancient Norse poetry, history, music, stories, our connection with nature and the world of the dead.

    Selon by Steffen Phillip unveils a compelling tapestry of ancient legends, mystic destinies, and human struggles. In a sweeping saga that crosses centuries, we follow Selon Duradal, a descendant of the enigmatic Guanches, from his secluded life in France as a Druid of the Haedus 
    tribe to the tumultuous events leading up to a pivotal confrontation with Rome. With a narrative rich in historical depth and mystical allure, Phillip crafts a world where swords forged from Damascus steel, secret languages, and ancient rites shape the destiny of a man caught 
    between the love for his heritage and the brutal realities of a world on the brink of transformation.
     
    Selon’s journey from the tragic loss of his father to becoming Duradal, ‘the enduring one,’ is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who seek to preserve their identity amidst the ravages of time and conquest. As he navigates the complexities of allegiance, love, and the stark choices
     wrought by war, Selon embodies the eternal conflict between the preservation of the old ways and the inexorable march of progress.

    I never used to live my life by rules. 
     
     
     
    At least not until my fiancé betrayed me, turning my entire world upside down. 
     
     
     
    Unsure of how to move on, my luck seemed to suddenly change. My estranged mother's last gift to me before she died landed on my doorstep, giving me the opportunity to start my life over. 
     
     
     
    I snatched up the chance to leave my life behind in Minnesota, opening my arms up to the hot, sunny weather of Texas. It was easy to start over in unfamiliar territory, my unofficial rules of heartbreak worn on my chest like a badge of honor. 
     
     
     
    But along with the house my mother left came a new neighbor. An obnoxious neighbor with dangerous glaring eyes and a set of abs that should be considered illegal. He was mysterious and full of secrets, a story hidden behind his hard exterior. 
     
     
     
    Before I knew it, Dallas Beckett was about to break all my rules. I just didn't realize he had his own set, and I was about to put every one of them to the test.

    From British journalist and bestselling author Tom Bradby, Yesterday’s Spy is a brilliantly plotted historical espionage novel about a father searching for his disappeared son against the backdrop of the 1953 coup in Tehran  
     
    London, 1953. Harry Tower is a recently widowed and world-weary British spy, out of favor and down on his luck. After a night spent drinking away his sorrows, he is awakened by a phone call with chilling news. His estranged son Sean has  
    gone missing in Tehran after writing a damning article about the involvement of government officials in the opium trade. Harry springs to action, eager to reunite with his son and atone for past wrongs. 
     
    When he arrives in Tehran, a city roiling with political dissatisfaction and on the brink of a historic coup, Harry joins forces with Sean’s Iranian girlfriend, Shahnaz—seemingly the only other person interested in finding the disappeared journalist.  
     
    Harry’s career as a spy soon proves perfect training for this much more personal mission as American, British, Iranian, and French players flit in and out of the scene. But as the first attempt at a coup in the city fails and foreign powers jockey  
    for oil, money, and influence, Sean’s disappearance takes on a more sinister tone. Was he really taken in retribution for his reporting, or is this an attempt to silence a globally significant revelation he was preparing to make? 
     
    Or, most terrifyingly, does Sean’s disappearance have nothing to do with him at all? Has Harry’s past caught up to them?
