They come from the smoky depths of Hell’s Pit. Remnants of the shattered Pious Legion, these hateful castoffs of Earth’s Roman Empire, seek to conquer. Armed with maddening gas, Maximinus Thrax’s airships swarm the skies like vengeful locusts, reducing entire populations to ash. 
For Boudica, the forgotten Queen of the Iceni, it’s a familiar fate. Having failed against Nero on Earth, her civilization was wiped from history due to her backfired efforts of liberation. 
As Thrax’s assault eliminates the peaceful enclaves of New Dis, what can the failed warrior queen do to protect her city, the innocent peoples within, and her beloved friends? Will Boudica shake off her anonymous refuge and crushing shame to face the Romans once more, or collapse into the dust of history once more?

A storm is brewing on the Yorkshire moors, bringing with it a tale of love so fierce it destroys everything in its path. 
When Mr. Lockwood seeks refuge from the bitter snow in the gloomy, forbidding manor known as Wuthering Heights, he unwittingly steps into a world haunted by the ghosts of a devastating past. His hostile landlord, the brooding and enigmatic Heathcliff, harbors a darkness born of a tortured childhood and an agonizing, thwarted love. 
Through the eyes of the housekeeper, Nelly Dean, the tempestuous history of the Earnshaw family is laid bare. At its center is the intense, almost feral bond between Heathcliff and the beautiful, headstrong Catherine Earnshaw. Theirs is not a gentle romance, but a primal force of nature—a connection so deep that neither marriage, nor betrayal, nor even death itself can sever it. 
Emily Brontë's masterful Gothic novel transcends the boundaries of traditional Victorian literature. Wuthering Heights is an exploration of obsession, revenge, and the chilling echoes of a love that refuses to die. 
Prepare to be swept away by a literary masterpiece that will haunt your waking thoughts and linger in your dreams.
