  Available for the first time in English, here is an unforgettable novel about the desolation of Hitler’s postwar Germany. 
  The war is over, yet Dr. Doll, a loner and “moderate pessimist,” lives in constant fear. By night, he is still haunted by nightmarish images of the bombsite in which he is trapped—he, and the rest of Germany. More than anything, he wishes to vanquish the demon of collective guilt, but he is unable to right any wrongs, especially in his position as mayor of a small town in northeast Germany that has been occupied by the Red Army. 
  Dr. Doll flees this place for Berlin, where he finds escape in a morphine addiction: each dose is a “small death.” He tries to make his way in the chaos of a city torn apart by war, accompanied by his young wife, who shares his addiction. Fighting to save two lives, he tentatively begins to believe in a better future. 
  Nightmare in Berlin captures the demoralized and desperate atmosphere of postwar Germany in a way that has never been matched or surpassed.

  A dark Southern Gothic saga unfolds in the Texas Hill Country, where history’s silenced voices rise—and a family’s fate hangs in the balance. 
  On the eve of the Civil War, Polish immigrants Marcin and Agnieszka Anderwald arrive in Bandera, Texas, seeking faith, fertile land, and freedom. But when Marcin provokes a vengeful specter, the Anderwalds and their unusual community—Arab camel wranglers, battle-scarred soldiers, and a songstress on the brink of madness—are drawn into a generational battle against relentless evil. 
  Hailed as “a genre-bending thrill ride through Old Texas,” The Wretched and Undone is brought vividly to life by Scott Fleming, an acclaimed narrator with over 100 audiobooks to his credit, including Reclaiming Mni Sota by Colin Mustful. 
  Dark, immersive, and unforgettable—this is a story of family, fear, and the forces that refuse to be silenced.

  What harm could one night of pleasure do?  
  Cybil Bythesea is imprisoned in a marriage that ended ten years ago. That’s when she fled the cruelty of her husband, Lord Falstone, and took refuge at her father’s estate in Northumberland. Since then, her family’s money has kept the villain at bay, and she’s been able to pursue her creative passion—writing. But freedom, true freedom, has been beyond her grasp.  
  Except for her clandestine liaisons with Will.  
  Will Chisolm is haunted by the past, the tragedy of his family’s eviction from their ancestral Highland farm, then his own foolish descent into political radicalism. Even now that he’s gained wealth and respectability as the manager of a set of spinning mills in Glasgow, he’s burdened with more responsibility and guilt than anyone knows.  
  But there’s something about Cybil—a lightness, a kinship that, at least temporarily, makes all Will’s troubles fade away. It’s a dangerous game. Cybil is his employer’s sister, the wife of his political enemy and for the last four years, his lover.  
  She’s also with child. Will’s child. And their world, their lives, will never be the same.  
  “...an achingly beautiful world of love, desperation, intrigue, a reckoning with the past, and a twisty, emotional journey. I loved it from start to finish and continue to think about it days later in the best possible ways.” - Reader review 
  A Radical Affair is the first book in the Darnalay Castle Series, although all of the books in the series can be read as standalones. It contains strong language and several spicy open-door scenes.
