Sinopsis

Laura, a Bosnian war survivor and Cambridge University librarian, has long tried to forget the horrors of her past. But when she and her husband Adam move to Serbia, disturbing memories start to emerge. Adam's work as a British diplomat takes him on a mission to capture war criminal General Ratko Mladić, leaving Laura isolated in the very country that invaded her own.
As the spirits of those murdered in the conflict resurface, Laura finds herself running a guest house for ghosts. They cook, laugh, drink, play cards and share folktales of Bosnian water spirits, reminding Laura of the home she once lost. But when they develop a vengeful interest in the manhunt for Mladić, Laura must decide: are her guests a sign that she is unravelling, or can they help her confront the past she has fled for so long?

    n the rugged, forgotten town of Thompson's Hollow, the past never stays buried. When Brock McCauley returns after six long years, he comes back to claim what was stolen from him—justice, revenge, and the power he believes is rightfully his. But in a place ruled by old grudges and shadowed by broken dreams, there are no easy answers, and the cost of vengeance is higher than anyone can imagine. 
    As Brock's thirst for retribution spills blood in the streets, the town is thrust into chaos, and long-buried secrets rise to the surface. Sheriff Ben Callahan struggles to keep what's left of his town intact, while the people of Thompson's Hollow are forced to choose sides in a battle that could tear everything apart. 
    In the end, it's not just a fight for survival—it's a reckoning. And in a town this lost, no one is innocent. 
    The Reckoning at Thompson's Hollow is a gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal, redemption, and the destructive power of anger. Brock McCauley's journey through a war-torn town will force him to face the question he's been running from: Is it too late to save himself, or has the past consumed him completely?

    She's just his partner, because she's seen the number of women he parades through his life. No amount of charm and good looks is worth being played...until Sabrina witnesses Jason take the blame for someone else at the law office where they both work. 
    Sabrina: Jason Finch has had no shortage of girlfriends—if you can even call the women he sees that. He's tall, good-looking, incredibly intelligent, and always has the perfect comeback. He's as polished as he is irritating, especially with the way he struts around the law firm where we work together, as if he owns the place. 
    He doesn't, thank you very much. 
    We both made partner (even if I'm a junior partner and he's a full partner) within same year, and I've managed to keep our relationship professional even with the late nights, the social events, and the close quarters at the office. Until I see him take the fall on a case that he barely touched. 
    Everything changes then, and when the managing partner at the firm comes down hard on him, I step in. 
    My boss trusts me, and when I vouch for Jason...he thinks we're seeing each other. "I'm just his partner," I say, not realizing (at the time) that the word "partner" can have a different meaning than the lawyerly one. 
    Jason is suddenly kind, appreciative, and...real. I can't help thinking that our relationship could be more than a façade too. 
    Which makes me crazy. After all, no one actually turns the office playboy into marriage material. 
    Do they? Can I? 
    I've never shied away from a challenge, and I suddenly want to try taking myself from just his partner to his girlfriend.

    The Battle of the Birds is one of Joseph Jacobs’ most sweeping and enchanting Scottish fairy tales — a sprawling epic of magic, loyalty, giants, riddles, shapeshifting, and fate. 
    When a humble wren challenges a mouse to a contest of strength, the clash spirals into a full-scale battle of the creatures. A young prince sets out to witness the strange conflict, only to be swept into a whirlwind of enchantment when he rescues a mighty black raven locked in combat with a deadly serpent. 
    But the raven is no ordinary bird — and the prince’s act of kindness pulls him into a journey across nine bens, nine glens, and nine mountain moors; into the homes of mysterious sisters; and ultimately into the heart of a dangerous bargain with a relentless giant. 
    With the help of Auburn Mary — the brave and selfless daughter of the giant — the prince must face impossible trials, outwit monstrous forces, and fight to remember the love that saved his life. 
    This tale blends the best of Celtic myth, folklore wonder, and classic fairy-tale magic — brought to life with vivid storytelling by narrator Aaron Sokalski. 
    A story of courage, enchantment, and the fierce power of loyalty… where even the smallest creature can change the fate of kingdoms.
