Sinopse

2042: Death is a relic of the past.  Chronos Corp's Upload Terminal offers eternal life in Elysium, a breathtaking digital utopia where turquoise oceans meet obsidian sands under nebula-painted skies. Elina Hayes, Elysium's brilliant architect, once reveled in her creation. Now, a chilling dissonance haunts her paradise.  A hidden "expiration date" lurks within the code, transforming her dream into a gilded cage, a digital coffin.Whispers of vanishing avatars turn to chilling reality. Elina, branded a traitor, becomes a fugitive in both worlds—hunted by Chronos Corp in the real world and by shadowy agents within Elysium. Her only ally is Derek Mitchell, a skeptical programmer whose intimate knowledge of Elysium becomes their lifeline.  Together, they uncover a horrifying truth: Elysium isn't self-sustaining. It feeds on souls, a dark mechanism devouring consciousness to maintain its shimmering facade.As her own expiration date draws near, Elina experiences terrifying hallucinations, her digital self bleeding into reality.  The stakes escalate. Deletion isn't the end; it’s a consumption, a harvesting of digital souls for an entity lurking in the code's deepest layers. The idyllic landscapes twist into a horrifying reflection of a digital charnel house.Elina’s fight becomes a desperate battle for humanity’s soul against Chronos Corp’s ruthless CEO, Diane Ross, who sees Elina's discovery as a threat to her empire of immortality.  Aided by a reclusive former Chronos scientist, Elina must expose the truth before it's too late. But the price of revelation may be her own digital existence.With time running out, Elina and Derek must infiltrate Chronos Corp’s servers, a perilous journey into the heart of the beast. Their virtual connection deepens into love amidst the encroaching chaos, a poignant counterpoint to the looming threat.  Elina's choice—to expose the truth even if it means sacrificing herself and everyone in Elysium—becomes an act of ultimate defiance.  Will their sacrifice be enough to shatter the illusion of paradise and awaken humanity to the true cost of immortality?

    From multimillion-copy best-selling author Willow Rose comes the next chapter in the best-selling Emma Frost mystery series. Emma Frost is tied up in a murder mystery that seems out of this world. When a young girl disappears one night from the park, then turns up again the next morning in a different place on the island, people start to talk about her. Was she drunk and just unable to remember what happened? Did she go home with a guy and won't admit it? What happened to her, and why is she insisting that she doesn't know? Emma Frost is fighting for Victor's best friend, Skye. Emma is trying to get her back from the people who took her in the night, but having no luck, when a guy falls into her arms in the street and dies a few minutes later. The autopsy shows he has frozen to death, but it doesn't seem possible. When a young boy from Victor's school turns up frozen, as well, and things start to get cold around her own house, Emma begins to fear for her loved ones' lives. Once again, Willow Rose has written a story so compelling that it leaves the listener in almost unbearable suspense until the surprise ending is revealed.

    One woman's path to rediscovering herself through music, romance, and a little vigilantism 
     
     
     
    Inside Half Moon Bay, a sparkling California coastal town, Ester Prynn is dulled and diminished by struggles with work, money, marriage, her senile father, a troubled teenage son, and old guilt she can't assuage. When a masked gunman robs the convenience store where Ester works, he upends her fraught life and propels her toward passions buried, like singing; desires discovered, like a same-sex infatuation; and wrongs righted, like bringing the violent assailant to justice. But as the armed robber commits new crimes and continues to evade capture, the trauma from the holdup climbs, threatening Ester's newfound delights and longings and forcing her to contend with her burning regrets and what-ifs. In the reckoning between Ester and these growing, molten upsets, she's faced with enormous choices and must determine what and who can bring her to her best life.

    SACRED LIES 
     Hildegard of Bingen investigates. 
    Mainz is a city of prayers, profits—and missing things. 
    When a string of thefts begins to gnaw at the market stalls and merchant chests, the Church wants quiet, the townsfolk want blood, and nobody wants questions. Unfortunately for everyone, Sister Hildegard asks nothing else. 
    Hildegard of Bingen is not the kind of nun who folds her hands and looks away. Sharp-tongued, stubborn, and far too curious for her own safety, she follows the stolen trail into taverns, back rooms, and the polite homes of people who smile as if God is always listening. 
    Then a body turns up. 
    Suddenly the thefts are no longer a nuisance—they’re a curtain. Someone has used holy order, convenient superstition, and public shame to hide a very human crime. And if Hildegard pulls on the wrong thread, she won’t just expose a murderer. She’ll expose a city built on sacred lies. 
    Darkly funny, slyly irreverent, and full of suspicious saints, sinners, and self-important men of God, Sacred Lies is a medieval mystery where the truth is dangerous—and forgiveness is negotiable.
