  Holding the faded postcard in her trembling hands, Mia begins to read the one story her grandmother could never tell her, revealing a secret that will change her own life forever…  
     
  When her beloved grandmother, Ilse, is taken into hospital, Mia drops everything to travel to Germany and care for the woman who raised her. But when her grandmother briefly wakes up and asks for a man called Szymon, Mia is confused. Who is he? And why does her grandmother need to see him so desperately?  
     
  Later that night, Mia returns to her grandmother’s apartment to search for clues. She soon discovers a small parcel hidden inside one of Ilse’s suitcases. When she removes the wrapping, she finds a stack of faded postcards neatly bound together, signed with a name that makes her heart stop in her chest: Szymon.  
     
  Desperate to find Szymon before it is too late, Mia unearths a story her grandmother never told her: of childhood friendship and heartbreaking young love on the eve of the Second World War, and of a plan to rescue a young man imprisoned by the Nazis. Mia can’t quite believe her grandmother was so brave, and risked so much to save this man’s life… But did she succeed?  
     
  As the final pieces of the past come together, Mia realizes that she is about to find out what really happened to her grandmother during the war. But she doesn’t expect to uncover a secret that will change everything…  
     
  Based on a true story, this page-turning and emotional wartime novel follows one woman’s brave decision to save the man she loves from the Nazis. An unputdownable and moving story about courage in the face of unimaginable odds, perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and The Alice Network.

  Like some other later works by Arthur Conan Doyle, this novel shows elements of spiritualism and the supernatural, both themes and ideas that interested him later in life.

  In an age of turmoil, when berserkers fall to the might of Rome, a new terror rises from the ashes of defeat … 
  Tyrfing is mine! Kings and chieftains will tremble at the coming of Hervor Angantysdottir! With my father’s sword, I’ll carry off the plunder of nations and win great honour for my name! 
  Such was my ignorance. 
  This blade has already cost me more than I can bear to speak of. I can’t even bring myself to draw it—not again. 
  Even if it means getting crushed by the Romans. 
  I find myself a prisoner in the camp of General Sarus—a commander as cunning as he ruthless. I surrendered hoping he’d see my worth as a Nordic Princess and a shieldmaiden of high renown. But to him, I’m just a savage. I get two choices. Baptism or slavery. 
  Loki. I’ll die before I accept the Christ-god. 
  But when we start marching north to contend with the Germanic Coalition, I start rethinking my decisions. Because if we meet who I think we will, my only hope of survival is Tyrfing—the blade that’s destroyed my family for generations. 
  I only wonder what it will take from me this time …

  A Car Crash of Sorts - A...

  Frank Marcopolos

  "A Car Crash of Sorts" by Frank Marcopolos is a short story that delves into themes of existential ennui, regret, and the search for meaning. The narrative uses the car journey and alternate points of view as symbols for life's disquieting journey, with the crash representing a moment of clarity or breakdown. The story captures the melancholy of aging, the fading of youth's drive, and the quiet desperation to find or reclaim purpose in life. 
  The prose style of Marcopolos is noted for its introspective, somewhat fragmented nature, mirroring the confusion and fragmented memories of the protagonist. The story doesn't resolve in a traditional sense but leaves the reader with a sense of the ongoing struggle to find meaning in a life that might seem to others like a series of unremarkable events or "crashes." 
  Based on real events, this is a tale woven into the fabric of an every-man's life. 
  Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.

  It was just after four when I walked into the hair salon where I get my haircut. Michael was still working on someone else so I thought I'd chat with the lady who handles the front counter until he finished.   
  Not that I minded chatting with fifty year old Elva R. She's an extremely nice looking woman whose fine body and pretty face have often occupied the erotic mind of this very horny sixty-year old man.
