Summary

Time travel, global journeys, leaps across epochs—the author takes us on a captivating voyage through time and space, blending historical events with personal adventures across diverse latitudes and longitudes. The narrative unfolds primarily in reverse chronological order, culminating in a contemporary twist: it becomes a quest for the self through time, a borderless affirmation of existence.Characters drift in and out at a relaxed, almost whimsical pace, accompanying the unconventional voyager on his explorations. There’s a bohemian laissez-faire, a lightness of being that permeates the story. The freedom to choose where and how to begin or end one’s identity—and life—without losing oneself reflects the spirit of our times, and hints at the much-discussed embrace of living in the “here and now.”Markus Michael trained as a physician in Switzerland, but instead of treating individual patients, he dedicated his career to humanitarian work in war-torn regions. For decades, he worked on the front lines of conflict, delivering aid and grappling with public health policy amid chaos and upheaval. His firsthand experience of history in motion has long fuelled his passion for understanding how the present has been shaped by the past.Earlier this year, he published a thought-provoking book on history: The Unwritten Chronicles of Western Civilizations’ Greatest Confrontations — An Imaginary Walk through an Alternate History.Markus Michael lives in São Paulo, Brazil.

    "A woman starting over. A new house with an unexpected twist. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach. 
 
""Happily Ever After"" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes. 
 
Do-over. 
 
This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path. 
 
Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a while. 
 
That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined. 
 
Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules. 
 
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

    A blood debt. A cursed alpha. A choice that will reshape her entire existence. 
When Ingrid Thornsdottir arrives at Blackstone Keep to pay her grandfather's fifty-year-old debt, she expects servitude. What she doesn't expect is Mordecai Blackstone—a three-hundred-year-old alpha wolf slowly losing himself to an ancient curse, forty-seven winters deep into his own destruction. 
Cold. Controlled. Convinced he's too broken to deserve anything beyond survival. 
But the moment Ingrid crosses into his territory, the mate bond snaps into place with devastating certainty. She's not just payment for an old crime—she's his last chance at salvation. And he's determined to protect her from the very connection that could save them both. 
Ingrid didn't come to Blackstone seeking love. She came to survive. But as brutal trials test her courage, as she discovers the völva magic in her blood, and as Mordecai's walls crumble, she faces an impossible choice: return to the simple human life she knew, or embrace transformation into something powerful, dangerous, and irrevocably bound to a male who's spent centuries believing himself unworthy. 
When rival alphas threaten everything they're building, when the curse reaches its climax, Ingrid must decide whether she's brave enough to love a monster—and whether he's strong enough to let her. 
Perfect for listeners who crave morally complex heroes, fierce heroines, and paranormal romance that explores the beautiful brutality of choosing transformation over safety. 
Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. Fated mates. Blood magic. Pack politics. 
If you love Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Maas, or Kresley Cole, this dark paranormal romance will keep you listening as two souls break down every wall between them.

    The bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel “marries comedy and canniness into a novel that’s warm, tolerant, shrewd and exuberant” (The Sunday Times). The demise of Russell Buffery’s latest marriage has put the sixty-one-year-old actor in a reflective mood. After all, his three ex-wives—the journalist, the new-age housewife, the antique dealer—have easily found their way without “Buffy”, and his connections to his children are tenuous at best. Spurned and alone, he still wonders where it all went wrong. Until he meets Celeste . . . Only twenty-three and new to London, the fresh-faced young woman has given Buffy, the hopeless romantic, a new lease on life. But, unknown to Buffy, Celeste has her own agenda. She begins to delve into his past, but discovering each ex-wife leads to another one—not to mention the women on the side. And though Celeste may be in over her head, what is revealed to her will transform her life—and give both her and Buffy a chance to get it right this time around.Praise for Deborah Moggach “Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters.” —Cosmopolitan “You’ll be hooked from the first page of this original, funny book . . .
