  The Forgotten Ruler is a poignant and atmospheric tale of lost legacy, buried truths, and the echo of power long erased from history. In a land where monuments have crumbled and names once revered are now whispers in the wind, a curious historian stumbles upon the traces of a monarch whose reign was deliberately erased. As relics emerge and forbidden records resurface, a gripping mystery unfolds—one that challenges the official narrative and threatens those who would keep the past buried. Through shifting loyalties, ancient ruins, and the haunting question of what makes a ruler truly great, The Forgotten Ruler explores the fragile line between memory and myth. Rich in intrigue, emotion, and timeless resonance, this audiobook is perfect for listeners who savor historical fantasy, slow-burning revelations, and the rediscovery of voices long silenced.

  The fifth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
   
  In the British colony of Australia, the obstacles are challenging and never-ending. The new governor, Bligh — better known for his command on the Bounty and the mutiny against him — has already gained a relentless enemy: The New South Wales Corps, also known as The Rum Corps due to their profitable side business. Governor Bligh's other enemies are the Irish rebels — who wish to end his life!
  And what will be the fate of Jenny Taggart-Broome now? 
  The hardships of life in the colony, as always, hit "regular" people the hardest.
   
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.
