Sinopsis

The story of a Boston heiress who wishes for nothing—except happiness—by a New York Times–bestselling author who “never falters when it comes to storytelling” (Publishers Weekly). Caroline Ames is rich beyond imagining. But after a childhood with a cold, rejecting father, she is irrationally terrified of poverty, seething with hostility, and incapable of giving or receiving love. Those who cross her path tend to find themselves at the very least suffering, if not thoroughly broken.A Prologue to Love introduces three generations of the Ames family during the Gilded Age and the early twentieth century—painting a compassionate portrait of a difficult woman, those who have hurt her, and those she has hurt. It is a vivid, profoundly moving novel that explores the damage that everyday evil can do—and what it takes to overcome it.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A brutal coming-of-age Western set in blood, dust, and redemption. The Boy follows a young Black gunman forged by tragedy and raised by an outlaw prospector in a violent American frontier where justice is paid for in gunfire, silence, and consequence. 
    When the boy’s father—feared across the territory as the man who could outdraw any living soul—is murdered and left without dignity, the boy swears revenge. Guided only by harsh lessons, instinct, and the code of the dying West, he grows into a quiet storm: patient, disciplined, and lethal. 
    But revenge is never simple, and the trail forces him to confront more than his father’s killer. Along the way he finds love, betrayal, cruelty, unexpected mercy, and the terrifying truth that a man must decide whether violence defines him—or frees him. 
    Dark, poetic, and cinematic, The Boy blends Western grit with emotional depth and cultural legacy. It explores the cost of survival, the burden of history, and the myth of the gunfighter through a voice both intimate and unforgiving. 
    For listeners who enjoy Cormac McCarthy, Sergio Leone stylings, or stories rooted in justice, rage, and resilience, this is a Western that doesn’t just aim—it hits.

But now Clothahump is dying, and not even Jon-Tom's spellsinging can make him well. In search of medicine for the centuries-old turtle, he and Mudge venture across the seas on a dubious quest that will require the assistance of an Amazonian white tiger, a ferret, and a gender-challenged unicorn.

    The greatest enemy is the one within. 
    Prince Kai Afkarr-Younger hides a dangerous secret—he’s been infected with the Nightmare Plague. Exhausted from battle and illness, he must force himself to stay awake or risk spawning yet another monster attack on the already beleaguered city; an impossible undertaking without the strength of his tamer. 
    Mari Asadottier will do whatever it takes to keep Kai’s infection secret from Alveria’s scheming Council. Without the power she offers through their bond, he’ll never make it through the coronation ceremony in his weakened condition. And without the strong leadership only Kai can provide, Bellsor will devolve into pandemonium. 
    But their efforts to protect Bellsor are hampered when Kai collapses shortly after being crowned, spawning the deadliest monster of all. Driven to defeat what he’s created, Kai nearly loses himself in a rogue animalistic frenzy. Only Mari’s persistence brings him back from the brink, and sets him upon the path to discovering Chaos’s nightmarish plan to destroy the Sources of Magic. 
    If they want any hope of defeating Chaos and protecting magic, Kai and Mari must hunt down and save the Primal Sources of Magic before they are gone forever—and Chaos reigns supreme. 
    Queen of the Dragons' Ava Richardson invites you to immerse yourself in a dragon-filled world with epic magic, fearless heroes and, at its heart, the deep bond between dragon and rider.
