The Knights of Elteria come face to face with the Army of Constantine for one final showdown. Jonathin and Genko finally confront Constantine and Tiris. Can the King finally overcome the Priest of Death?
Two billion people are about to die… and they’re the lucky ones. When a man in a hospital gown jumps to his death from the Western Wall in Israel, the authorities think it’s just another victim of Jerusalem Syndrome: a religious psychosis triggered by a visit to the holy city. But when a second victim ritually disembowels himself, it’s the sign of much worse to come. Thanatos — a fanatical group dedicated to the destruction of the world — is on the move again. The only ones who can stop them are ex-Israeli military psychologist, Oxford professor, and religious expert Morgan Sierra; and Jake Timber, agent of ARKANE, the British agency tasked with investigating — and sometimes saving the world from — the supernatural. Last time, Morgan and Jake worked together to stop Thanatos from bringing about a dark version of Pentecost. This time, Thanatos is mixing science with sacrilege — combining the Devil’s Bible with mind-control technology to murder a quarter of the human race. Together, Morgan and Jake will travel from the hallowed halls of Oxford, to the labs of a biotech company with a dark agenda, to a chapel made of human bones. They’ll go anywhere, do anything, to stop Thanatos. But they have to hurry. Thanatos is on the rise. Apocalypse is at the gates. And the only way to save a quarter of the world is for Morgan to uncover the secrets of her past… at the cost of her own future. Death awaits in a Crypt of Bone. Crypt of Bone is book 2 in the ARKANE thriller series but it can be listened to as a stand-alone story.Ver livro
Something starts at 3:17 AM. Every night. After the death of her grandmother, Sofia Reyes expects grief—but not the metallic stench that fills her room at the same exact minute… not the dreams that twist reality… and definitely not the reflection that blinks back at her. As the line between the psychological and the supernatural begins to dissolve, Sofia is pulled into a terrifying descent where possession, memory, and faith collide. Voices emerge that aren’t hers. Shadows move with intention. And the people closest to her begin to question what’s real—and what’s taken hold. Desperate for answers, Sofia turns to both spiritual intervention and psychological help, walking a fragile line between deliverance and breakdown. What unfolds is not just a haunting—but a reckoning. Broken Open is a chilling, deeply personal journey through grief, spiritual warfare, and the unexplainable. For listeners drawn to true-feeling horror with emotional depth, this story lingers long after the final word.Ver livro
Vernon Lee was born Violet Paget on 4th October 1856 in Boulogne, France to intellectual expatriate British parents. In common with several other very talented literary women of the day she felt it necessary to publish under a masculine pseudonym in order for her writing to be taken seriously. Indeed she seems to have adopted that persona across her whole lifestyle becoming personally known and acknowledged by all as Vernon Lee and accordingly dressed as a man. Her first published work, in 1880, was taken from her collection of essays that had originally appeared in Fraser’s Magazine with the scholarly title of; ‘Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy.’ It reflected her passion for music and centered on the rich creative lives of poet-librettist Pietro Metastasio and dramatists Carlo Goldoni and Carlo Gozzi. She wrote over a dozen volumes of essays on art, music, and travel with her scholarly appreciation animated by wit and imagination. Lee was well-regarded as an expert on the Italian Renaissance and was a proponent of the Aesthetic movement. Her literary talents were extensive and she wrote a number of novels and plays. Perhaps her best remembered works are her haunting and powerful short stories exploring the supernatural. Lee has often received accolades for these and glowingly compared to other authors such as M R James. A committed pacifist she was resolved to protest against World War I. Her social activism in other areas was perhaps fueled by her feminist beliefs. In her private life she was a lesbian and had long-term passionate relationships with three women including the doomed author and poet, Amy Levy. Vernon Lee died on 13th February 1935 in San Gervasio Bresciano, Italy. 1 - Vernon Lee - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - A Wicked Voice - Part 1 by Vernon Lee 3 - A Wicked Voice - Part 2 by Vernon Lee 4 - Amour Dure - Part 1 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee 5 - Amour Dure - Part 2 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee 6 - Marsyas in Flanders by Vernon Lee 7 - The Enchanted Woods by Vernon Lee 8 - Dionea - Part 1 by Vernon Lee 9 - Dionea - Part 2 by Vernon LeeVer livro
