Beschreibung

Set in a fractured, depopulated Britain, ‘No Repeat of Yesterday’ is a fast-paced thriller that asks questions about the trust we invest in those who wield power. The 2070s. A military-controlled regime fosters social cohesion via the charade of an external military threat. To this end, RAF pilot Nicole Dibaba conducts spectacular nocturnal raids against unoccupied industrial targets. As millions embrace the apparent realities, alternative voices invade the state-controlled media. Dibaba’s refusal to execute unconscionable orders brings her into conflict not just with her commanders but also with the insidious security apparatus. Ultimately she is confronted with a dilemma from which her conscience might not emerge unscathed.

    The Treasures of Alexander the Great have intrigued people ever since he amassed them after his victory at Damascus. The lure of such vast amounts of wealth has taunted people for centuries. Many risked their lives to acquire them. Many gave their lives to protect them. 
    This story takes place in the twelfth century at the end of the Third Crusade, when European monarchs strove for empirical dominance. It was a time when life was brutal, men were courageous, and women were at the behest of these men’s desires. 
    Crusader Gold follows the fortunes and misfortunes of those who defended Alexander’s treasures, and the Crusaders who went to great lengths to seize them. Those French Knights intended to use their hoard to fund future humanitarian ventures across Europe. But as history has shown, the relocation of the treasures to places of safekeeping has led to the mysteries that have enshrouded them to this day. 
    When the young Alexandrian, Yasheed, breaks his oath to the protection of Alexander’s treasures, to spare his and his father’s life from the gallows, he sets a course that changes his own future as much as it does for his executioners. The knowledge Yasheed shares with the French General Pierre Favre and the French Knight Colonel Bertrand Resolu, sparks a thrilling adventure into the mysteries of hidden treasures, and the lengths men will take, to possess them. When the stakes were high enough, lives were expendable, and combat was brutal. 
    Crusader Gold is a story of courage, commitment, camaraderie and daring. 
    However, it is also a story about Alexander’s treasures and the spirit and determination of the men and women committed to their protection. 
    Following Boomerang Gold and Masquerade Gold, this is the final book in the “Gold” trilogy.

    The #1 Bestselling series!
    
    CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS is book #13 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS, Kyra and Kyle return to a realm being systematically transformed by Queen Isolde's final, desperate assault. As entire regions crystallize under her relentless magic, they race to convince their children of a truth both profound and dangerous—only by working together can the twins break the curse that has plagued the lands for centuries. But Lyra, now commanding her own crystalline army, remains convinced that her path alone will lead to victory, while Kael attempts to reach his sister through their twin bond rather than direct confrontation.
    
    The resistance makes its last stand by striking deep into enemy territory while Kavos unites the mountain kingdoms into a final alliance, creating sanctuary for those fleeing Isolde's advancing crystallization. Meanwhile, Maven—carrying fragments of both twins' essences within her created form—emerges as an unexpected key to their reconciliation. As the realm teeters on the edge of complete transformation, the first seed of doubt is planted in a heart that has grown increasingly convinced of its own righteousness.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!

    Welcome to my not-so-fairy-tale life, where kissing Mr. Wrong is my brilliant plan to avoid Mr. Right – or so I thought. 
    It's one thing to be dumped by the guy you thought you were going to marry, but it's quite another to move back to the small town you're both from when he's a huge Hollywood celebrity and you're...not. But I need to be home right now, surrounded by the people I love, working in my new teaching job at Hunter’s Creek Elementary. 
    The problem is, everyone is trying to set me up with their son or their nephew or their long-lost cousin twice removed. Either that or they’re throwing me pitying looks. 
    What do I do? I spot the new guy in town. Christopher Young, the suit-wearing, definitely-does-not-belong-here stiff, and I go right up and kiss him. It’s…well, it’s unexpectedly nice. As in blow your socks off nice. But I'm not looking for a relationship with the guy. Not a real one, anyway. 
    As a temporary resident, Christopher is perfect fake boyfriend material, and just what I need to get the townsfolk off my back. The fact that he’s gorgeous in a buttoned-up kind of way and doing weird things to my blood pressure doesn't mean a thing. Really. 
    Not. A. Thing.

    In the treacherous corridors of 8th-century Constantinople, where power is won through cunning and ambition, a young woman is destined to shape the fate of an empire. 
    Seventeen-year-old Thekla, fierce and relentless, has been abandoned at the altar for the third time. Determined to reclaim her betrothed—or make him pay—she sets out for the imperial capital, armed only with her wits and her blade. But Constantinople is no place for the faint-hearted. Here, intrigue and betrayal lurk in every shadow, and survival demands more than mere determination. 
    Amidst the dazzling splendor of the Byzantine court, Thekla crosses paths with Irini of Athens—a strikingly beautiful orphan plucked from obscurity to wed Co-Emperor Leon, son of the ruthless Constantine. But Irini is no mere pawn. Beneath her delicate exterior lies an unyielding will and an insatiable hunger for power. 
    As Thekla and Irini forge an uneasy alliance, the city erupts with unrest, torn apart by religious conflict and political machinations. In this volatile world of shifting loyalties, ambition can be a weapon, and trust can be fatal. Will Thekla become Irini’s greatest ally—or her most dangerous rival? 
    The rise of an empress begins …
