Sinopsis

Famous for his pseudonym ‘Sapper’, H. C. McNeile drew on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War for his war stories and novels. His most famous creation is Bulldog Drummond, an ex-British Army Captain turned crime-fighting gentleman vigilante.  McNeile’s stories are either directly about the war or feature characters whose lives have been shaped by the conflict. In later years, his work shifted into the genre of thrillers, featuring upper class Englishmen defending England from foreigners plotting against it. This eBook presents McNeile’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Despite being a rising star in the BAU unit, FBI Special Agent Hailey Rock still lives in the shadow of her older sister, who remained in their small Midwestern town to become a police sheriff, and who remains the favorite in their parents’ eyes. Hailey has not thought of her estranged family in ages, but when a killer strikes in their home county, eerily mimicking the case of their missing sister, Hailey has no choice but to return home, face her past, catch a killer—and re-open the case of her missing sister.

    🦅 When mortal archer Lyra accidentally saves a wounded griffin warrior from a magical poaching ring, she unknowingly triggers an ancient bond that ties her fate to the majestic creature—who can shift into a formidable, frustratingly attractive man named Kael. As the last of his kind, Kael is bound by oath to protect the last griffin egg from human hands, but his growing connection to Lyra challenges centuries of prejudice. Hunted by poachers who want griffin magic and a ruthless noble who seeks the egg's power, they must journey across treacherous skies to reach the sacred nesting grounds. Lyra's skill with a bow and Kael's aerial prowess make them an unstoppable team, but their forbidden attraction threatens the very oath that keeps his species from extinction. When the final confrontation forces Kael to choose between his sacred duty and the woman who's stolen his heart, they discover that some bonds are stronger than ancient laws—and love might be the most powerful magic of all.
