Synopsis

The story intertwines two main narratives. The first, set in a medieval historical context, focuses on the dramatic siege of Castle Legrad, where Count Miklós Zrínyi and his men resist the attacks of the infidels. When all seems lost, a mysterious Templar knight miraculously appears, bringing with him a talisman: a pin containing soil from the Holy Sepulchre. His presence proves salvific, and the count and his men survive, miraculously rescued by the imperial army.The second narrative unfolds in a more modern setting and revolves around Eleonora Danieli and Prince D’Annunzio. Eleonora, involved in an intense and adventurous relationship with D’Annunzio, finds herself drawn into a series of complex trials, culminating in the recovery of a pin stolen years before. The object, now in the possession of the antiquarian Barliàrio, is hidden inside the pedestal of a statuette of the goddess Laverna. After a series of stratagems and rising tensions, D’Annunzio manages to retrieve the pin, but the ending reveals a darker side: D’Annunzio subjects Eleonora to an extreme and degrading test that casts doubt on their relationship and feelings.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    US Marshal Alexa Chase faces a ghost from the past as she investigates a chain of ritualistic murders, identical to those committed by a supposed dead serial killer. As the evidence reveals a horrifying hostage scenario, Alexa must use all her talents in a psychological standoff to outwit a master manipulator and rescue innocents from his clutches.
    
    THE KILLING SIGN (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 11) is the eleventh in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.
    
    But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind. 
     
    As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? 
    
    All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    After the bombs fall, survival becomes a desperate fight. Paula's injury forces the group to split in search of help, but danger waits at every turn. Charles, Rick, Shane, and Kristen race across broken highways, haunted by destruction and death at every stop, while Greg, Craig, Randall, and the others encounter betrayal, hidden agendas, and a chilling discovery — a working phone that should
