Sinopsis

1960. The height of the Cold War. Maths prodigy Ginny Matlock is appointed to be the first woman computer at a secretive nuclear testing facility off the East Anglian coast. She quickly finds, in this landscape of endless skies and shifting shorelines, that nothing is what it seems. What is the terrible secret of Briar Cottage? What dark tale haunts the local pub? And who is the mysterious Artist with whom Ginny's fate becomes entangled? As the Berlin Wall rises and nuclear Armageddon threatens in Cuba, can Ginny build a life for herself among so many mysteries or will the terrors of the age suck her under?
Sarah Bower's brilliant novella blows the spy thriller genre to pieces and creates a feminist masterpiece from what is left of the rubble. A swirling mystery in which mathematical proof is always just out of reach. Lines and Shadows is the strange lovechild between Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and John Le Carre.

    Sometimes you don’t choose your destiny. It chooses you. 
    "Idessa Valdon, you are the next Guardian.” 
    I prefer to spend my days snuggling with my boyfriend Tahn or getting ready for the next party. So when I am named the next Guardian of Graenir, I’m horrified. 
    Especially since Guardianship calls for a year of seclusion. So no more parties. No more social life. And no more Tahn. 
    Instead, I’m supposed to spend a boring year guarding a long-forgotten vault that supposedly houses the seven gods who founded the Gifted Lands. 
    But when an earthquake hits Graenir, the Great Seal that holds the imprisoned gods is broken. The gods are released to create havoc all around the Gifted Lands. 
    And it seems that I—unwilling, woefully unprepared Idessa Valdon—am the only one who can stop them. 
    Journey to the Gifted Lands, a fantasy world of seven kingdoms, each known for their own unique power or ability. Heir of Immortals and Empires is the seventh book in the Kingdom Legacy series set in this magical world. Each book features a new character from one of the kingdoms, with appearances from beloved characters from previous novels.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if you could go back in time, not to change history, but to short it? 
    When Wall Street prodigy John Sterling loses everything, a mysterious angel offers him a second chance: return to 2010 armed with the knowledge of 2025. Armed with stock charts, crypto forecasts, and insider foresight, John becomes the man who can outsmart the future itself. But as every trade reshapes time, he discovers that money can’t hedge against destiny. 
    Set between the chaos of the 2008 crash and the rise of Bitcoin, Timora: The Man Who Shorted the Future blends financial thriller, time-travel paradox, and moral reckoning into one gripping narrative. John must navigate love, greed, and guilt while watching the butterfly effect unfold across a decade of rewritten history. 
    As fortunes soar and collapse in seconds, the real question emerges: if you knew every turn the market would take, would you use it to save the world, or just yourself? 
    Written by AL Nika, this audiobook fuses the intellect of The Big Short with the metaphysical edge of Interstellar and Back to the Future II. It’s a haunting story of redemption, fate, and the price of knowing too much. 
    For fans of speculative fiction, finance thrillers, and philosophical sci-fi, Timora is a pulse-pounding journey through time, temptation, and the limits of human choice.
