  The ecclesiastical machine demands a very specific kind of quiet. But the earth remembers what the church tries to bury. 
  For decades, Abbess Ursula Umbra has maintained the Bone Orchard with ruthless, cold precision. By using the calcified remains of condemned nobles to fertilize grafted fruit trees, she extracts powerful resurrection seeds that fuel a dying dominion. She has built an intellectual fortress around her own deeply repressed guilt, justifying the horrific harvest as a necessary, divine duty. But her severe, meticulously ordered world is shattered the morning the soil tears open—and a living, breathing young man claws his way out of a grave. 
  Arthur Addison is an impossible miracle, a resurrected boy born from the suffering of an ancient, sleeping beastline chained beneath the estate. His existence is a heresy that threatens to collapse the entire holy order of the choir-princes. Desperate to maintain control, Ursula intends to classify and conceal the terrifying anomaly. 
  But she did not anticipate the fierce defiance of Aelwen Amaranth, the estate's battle-hardened lay protector. Aelwen refuses to let a terrified boy become a casualty of the church's bloody ledgers. Her unconditional compassion strikes directly at Ursula's heavily armored heart, igniting a dangerous, undeniable romance that forces the Abbess to question everything she has ever believed. 
  Roots of the Condemned is the breathtaking third volume of The Cathedral Bestiary by John Newbill. It is a decadent dark fantasy woven with gothic horror, Sapphic romance, and an epic struggle against a corrupt theocracy. In a world powered by sanctified cruelty, choosing mercy is the ultimate act of treason. Will Ursula burn her doctrine to save the woman she is falling for—or will the relentless ecclesiastical machine devour them all?

The first three parts narrate the same evening from the point of view of each of the three characters involved: Amir, Fin, and Hayward.

"Bridges" won the Ursa Major Award for Short Fiction in 2010, and part 3.5, written the following year and included in this unabridged audio edition, won the Ursa Major Award for Short Fiction in 2011 for its characterization of a character struggling with depression.

This is the first in the award-winning line of "Cupcake" books, short fiction in furry worlds. A Furry novel in the Forester Universe.• Genre: Coffeeshop Fox

  She sold her business to a billionaire dominatrix for £75 million. The price? One night as her submissive. 
  Desire’s Truth is an erotic lesbian romance about power, consent, and what it costs to give up control. Victoria Fraser has built an empire on precision and dominance, winning in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Then Suzette Conner-Wakeman, a razor-sharp billionaire with a taste for risk, makes an offer Victoria cannot ignore: seventy-five million pounds for her companies, on one condition that is not up for negotiation. For a single night, Victoria must submit completely. 
  With her wife Abby’s surprising encouragement, Victoria agrees, and a carefully staged encounter becomes something far more revelatory. Boundaries are planned, safewords are honoured, and aftercare is real, yet the experience exposes truths Victoria has kept locked away. Desire collides with trust, jealousy brushes against devotion, and the marriage at the centre of everything proves stronger than either woman dared to hope. 
  As Suzette’s motives come into focus and the trio navigate the consequences, Victoria and Abby must decide what their love looks like when old rules no longer fit. This is erotic lesbian romance that prizes character, chemistry, and emotional stakes, where intimacy is explicit, communication is clear, and surrender can be an act of power.For readers who crave erotic lesbian romance with a grown-up edge, Desire’s Truth delivers heat with heart, a marriage tested and deepened, and the intoxicating pull of choosing each other again.
