Synopsis

Jules Verne's "Ultimate Collection: Science Fiction Classics, Action & Adventure Novels, Historical Works (Illustrated)" is an anthology that encapsulates the author's seminal contributions to the realms of science fiction and adventure literature. This compilation showcases Verne's characteristic blend of scientific rigor and imaginative storytelling, underscoring his visionary approach to the possibilities of technology and exploration during the 19th century. The richly detailed narratives are both meticulously researched and globally expansive, ranging from groundbreaking voyages to the depths of the ocean in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" to the thrilling escapades of "Around the World in Eighty Days," all rendered more vibrant through masterful illustrations that complement the text and enhance the reading experience. Jules Verne, often regarded as the father of science fiction, was profoundly influenced by the scientific advances of his time, as well as maritime explorations and industrial progress. His background in literature and theater, paired with his passion for geography and science, provided him with the unique lens to craft stories that were not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. The societal currents of the Victorian era, marked by rapid exploration and discovery, fueled his imagination and propelled him to envision worlds where the limits of human potential were constantly challenged. For readers who seek to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of adventure, innovation, and historical context, Verne's "Ultimate Collection" is an indispensable addition to any literary collection. Engaging and richly illustrated, it offers both seasoned fans and newcomers a comprehensive introduction to the foundational works of one of literature's most influential figures. This collection invites readers to journey alongside heroes through uncharted territories, igniting a sense of wonder and curiosity that continues to resonate today.

    “Please let me know when you would like to make the rejection official." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks and despite her acting like the words she just said were nothing important
     
     "Would you like to do it now?" While my head screams yes, my heart burns begging me to say no. How can I go from never wanting my little mate to feeling so torn up at the idea of her leaving? I always assumed that I would meet her and reject her without a care but now that the reality of the situation is staring me right in the face I know that it won't be easy, not one bit.
     
    Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
     
    Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
     
    When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his little mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Alpha Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart? 
     
    Note: Book 4 in the tetralogy series of the full edition (Chapters 104–131).
