  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  From the blood-soaked mountains of 18th-century Albania, a legend was forged in fire and vengeance. Ali of Tepelena, driven by his father’s murder and the indomitable will of his mother, Khamko, rises from a dispossessed kleft to a cunning warlord. His ambition knows no bounds, his ruthlessness no mercy. He outwits pashas, tames wild clans, and carves a formidable pashalik from the decaying heart of the Ottoman Empire, making Ioannina his glittering, fear-laden capital. 
  But as the Lion of Ioannina’s power swells, so too does the envy of his rivals and the alarm of Sultan Mahmud II in Constantinople. Ali plays a dangerous game with European powers, navigates treacherous Ottoman politics, and wages brutal wars against defiant foes like the heroic Souliotes. His reign becomes a court of stark contrasts: opulence and terror, patronage and purges. Can one man, however mighty, defy an empire forever? Or will his insatiable hunger for power lead to a devastating downfall, leaving behind a legacy as complex and bloodstained as the mountains he once claimed as his own?

  Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend. From adolescence, Nightingale was determined to fulfill her life's calling to serve the sick and suffering. Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. 
   
   
   
  In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.

  From USA Today bestselling author Audrey Blake comes a story of love, hope, and perseverance, following one woman's fight against an invisible enemy. 
  One woman physician. A group of talented midwives. A deadly disease spreading. 
  1849. Dr. Nora Gibson is the only female surgeon in London. In all of England, even. After earning her medical degree and overcoming the prejudice of those who wished to see her fail, she's finally earned her place at the Great Queen Street Hospital alongside her newlywed husband and her eccentric but ailing adoptive father, the great Dr. Horace Croft. 
  But peace is hard to come by as a physician, and for one like Nora, it's almost impossible. When Nora takes up the fight to bring midwives into the medical field, her already fragile reputation comes under fire by colleagues and London society itself. And if the possibility of losing her rights to practice medicine wasn't enough, a dangerous enemy has made itself known: the deadliest cholera epidemic in over a century. It's a swift disease that wreaks havoc and tragedy across the city, especially amongst the working classes, and Nora will do anything she can to help. Soon, she finds herself on the frontlines of the disease, and as those around her begin to fall, she'll have to find the strength to stand alone and maintain her greatest oath: to save lives. Whether she'll make it through, though, is up to fate.
