  The Kent family faces internal clashes as the Civil War ignites—from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of North and South.  In the hellish years of the Civil War, the Kent family faces its greatest trials yet. Louis, the devious son of the late Amanda Kent, is in control of the dynasty—and of its seemingly inevitable collapse. His cousin Jephtha Kent, meanwhile, backs the abolitionist cause, while his sons remain devoted Southerners. As the country fractures around the Kents, John Jakes introduces characters that include some of the most famous Americans of this defining era. Spanning the full breadth of the Civil War—from the brutal frontlines in the South to the political tangle in Washington—The Titans chronicles two struggles for identity: the country’s and the Kents’. This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the author’s personal collection.

  A time-slip fantasy-adventure powered by music that refuses to be bound by time – and an impossible love that defies the tragic fate already determined by history. 
  Crushed with the rejection of joining a world-renowned orchestra, a modern-day cellist finds new hope in an unexpected summons to Scotland. Adeena’s dying grandmother has a gift for her; a lost music score that Adeena performs on the oldest surviving cello ever made in the United Kingdom. 
   As she plays… time transforms. 
   A connection is made through the music to Katharine, another young cellist and composer in Scotland, though the year is 1745. 
  Their connection is cemented by the love of the same man doomed to die after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The magic of a priceless cello connects two souls that share the same heart in all that truly matters to them – love and the maddening drive to compose and to perform. 
  “I adore time travel stories and this is one of the best I've found. Great characters and I could almost hear the music.” - R. Pool 
  In ‘Music is Not Bound by’ Time, Book I of the Song for a Lost Kingdom trilogy, the timeless power of music transcends the limitations of the ordinary world for those who truly listen through their heart. 
  Your time-slip adventure awaits… 
  "This book grabbed me instantly and it was one of the best I've read that combines my love of music, belief in time travel, and love of historical romance!" - Vanessagram  
  The audiobook version includes original music by Paul van Geldrop and Marc Moretti and a haunting vocal performance by soprano Ania Hejnar. Voice actors Tom McLean and Bethany Mason combine their talents to bring the story to life.
