Beschreibung

This story, set in what is now East Anglia, takes place during 449-451, after the departure of the Romans from Britain. During the Roman occupation, Mangan, a Briton, captured by a band of armed Romans, is forced to help bury several heavy treasure chests and then sold as a galley slave. Thirty years later, he regains his freedom and returns to East Anglia. But he is obsessed with the memory of the treasure which he helped to bury, and so, accompanied by his grandson, Cador, he sets out to try to find the place again so that the treasure can be used in the fight against the Huns, who are threatening to overrun the whole of Europe.
 
The dangers Mangan and Cador face, and the difficulties they have to overcome make this a fast-moving and thrilling story.

    Some curses can’t be broken. Some love refuses to die. 
    Olena hunts werewolves with a crossbow and a single rule. No mercy. It's the only way to survive when the same curse sleeps in her blood. 
    But when a shadow spell strikes her mother and forbidden magic becomes her only hope, Olena must turn to Valentyn—her former hunting partner and the ex who destroyed her. 
    Working together means confronting the secrets that tore them apart while hiding what she did the night the isle burned. It means pretending her heart doesn't still betray her every time he's near. 
    As ancient werewolf packs circle the shores and someone sends messages that threaten to expose her, Olena realizes the monsters in the forest aren't the only ones with fangs. 
    The beast is waking. The lies are unraveling. 
    And mercy might be the most dangerous choice of all. 
      
    Perfect for listeners who love werewolf romance, second-chance love with bite, and morally gray heroines who hunt the monsters they're destined to become.

    It starts with a whisper. 
    Every night, just as the clock strikes three, Anna hears a voice on the other side of her bedroom door. Soft. Calm. Almost familiar. It calls her name, coaxing her to open it. She never does. 
    But when the whispers grow into conversations—when the voice begins to reveal things about her past she’s never told anyone—Anna starts to question her own mind. Is she sleep-deprived? Losing her grip on reality? Or has something found a way in? 
    As the nights stretch on and the boundaries between waking and nightmare blur, Anna realizes the voice isn’t alone. And it isn’t waiting anymore. It’s getting closer. 
    The Voice Behind My Door is a spine-tingling psychological horror that asks: how do you fight the darkness when it already knows your name?

    Those who cross a Blackwood soon learn that they won't like the results. 
     
     
     
    Theadora Kathryn Blackwood's life is just the way she wants it. Thea focuses on what she wants to do, what she wants to study, and the local COVEN hierarchy leaves her the hell alone. 
     
     
     
    It took years for her to accomplish that much freedom, and now she is about to graduate college, the local coven leader has given her what she wants most. 
     
     
     
    The opportunity to be freed from the shackles of Coven Politics for the rest of her life. 
     
     
     
    The catch is that she must join the Arcane Investigations Division as an Arcane Consultant for three years. 
     
     
     
    If Thea is still employed at the end of the set time, the Coven will absolve her of all ties and responsibility to them. The downside is that NOLA AID has lost two witches in the last four years. No one expects an untrained witch without the Coven's support to survive. 
     
     
     
    Even if she is a Blackwood.
