  Helena de Tróia: A Sombra Negra do Desejo 
  The most beautiful woman in history. The most dangerous desire ever known. 
  Helen of Troy—queen, lover, myth. A woman whose name ignited a thousand ships and plunged empires into war. But was she truly the cause of Troy’s fall, or just a pawn in a battle far greater than herself? Was she a seductress, a victim, or something far more complex? 
  This audiobook takes you beyond the legend, unraveling the untold story of Helen through the lens of passion, power, and psychology. Blending myth with deep psychoanalytic insights from Freud and Lacan, it exposes the truth behind the woman history could never define.

  A gripping, immersive experience that will change the way you see one of history’s most infamous women. 
  Are you ready to uncover the dark shadow of desire? Press play and step into Helen’s world.

  London, 1873. Madeleine Brewster's marriage to Dr Lucius Everley was meant to be the solution to her family's sullied reputation. After all, Lucius is a well-respected collector of natural curiosities. His 'Small Museum' of bones and specimens in jars is his pride and joy, although firmly kept under lock and key. His sister Grace's philanthropic work with fallen women is also highly laudable. 
   
  However, Maddie soon finds herself unwelcome in what is meant to be her new home. The more she learns about both Lucius and Grace, the more she suspects that unimaginable horrors lie behind their polished reputations. 
   
  Framed for a crime that would take her to the gallows and leave the Everleys free to continue their dark schemes, Maddie's only hope is her friend Caroline. She will do anything to prove Maddie's innocence before the trial reaches its fatal conclusion.

  “This absorbing tale... creates a vivid world that will draw readers in..." ~ Kirkus Reviews 
  A French Huguenot apothecary’s legacy of secrets, a mystic healer’s inspiration, a fateful decision. 
  In the mysterious Cévennes Mountains of Languedoc, France, 1695, Jehan BonDurant, a young nobleman forcibly held in a Dominican prieuré as a child, comes of age only to inherit a near-derelict estate and his Huguenot family’s dangerous legacy of secrets. While he cherishes his newfound freedom apprenticing as an apothecary, his outrage mounts over religious persecutions led by King Louis XIV’s Intendant Basville, who is sent to enforce the King’s will for “One King, One Law, One Faith”. 
  The ensuing divisions among families and friends and the gradual revelation of his own circumstances lead Jehan to question his spiritual choices. He embarks on an odyssey, in pursuit of his life’s purpose and the meaning of love, that unfolds in a way he least expects. Deep in the enchanting Gorges du Tarn, he discovers his muse, Amelia Auvrey, a free-spirited, mystic holy woman who offers guidance, revealing ancient healing practices and spiritual mysteries. 
  Together they quest for peace and spiritual freedom by aiding the persecuted until the Intendant’s spy reports their activities and the King’s dragoons are sent out after them. To retain their freedom, they must choose to live in hiding in a remote wilderness, join a festering uprising against the persecutions, or flee their cherished homeland with thousands of other refugees in search of hope. 
  Inspired by the true story of Jean Pierre Bondurant dit Cougoussac, distilled and blended with Cévenole magic lore, this is a vividly told coming of age story and family saga of courage, tenacity, and the power of love: an adventure to carry the reader through a thrilling and obscure slice of French history.

  In the shadow of South Africa’s turbulent history, one family’s story unfolds—bound by the land, haunted by the past, and driven by hope. 
  Set between 1930 and 1945, this sweeping tale follows Ruth MacLeod, a young woman determined to carve out a life beyond her family’s farm in Limpopo. Burdened by the legacy of the Anglo-Boer War—a conflict that left scars on both the land and the people—Ruth’s journey is one of resilience, independence, and quiet rebellion against the silence that has bound her family for generations. 
  Through the voices of Lena, a mother torn between duty and dreams; William, a father hardened by his own father’s emotional distance; and the indomitable Magda, a grandmother forged in the fires of survival, the MacLeod family must navigate love, loss, and the shifting sands of a world on the brink of change. 
  At its heart, this is a story of endurance, of finding beauty in the small moments, and of daring to seek more. As Ruth follows her own path, she carries with her the strength and sacrifices of those who came before her—and the hope of a future that feels just within reach. 
  Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, The MacLeod Legacy (or your book's title) is a poignant exploration of family, memory, and the ties that bind us to each other—and to the land we call home.
