  John Carter returns in this, his most thrilling adventure yet! 
  Continuing where The Gods of Mars left off, we see John Carter, desperately seeking to rescue his lost wife; Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium. To this end, he pursues his two adversaries: Matai Shang, father of Therns, and Thurid the Black Dator, across the entire length of a world. From the under the Mountains of Otz in the South Pole, all the way to the frozen North, where, walled in by the Ice Barrier, the cruel and mysterious Yellow Men of Mars hold sway, ruled over by the Tyrannical Jeddak of Jeddaks: Solensus Oll! 
  Join John Carter once more, as he explores the jungle cities of Kaol, the mysterious and booby trapped Tower of the Sun and foul Carrion Caves! 
  The third book in Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series, The Warlord of Mars largely brings to a close the story of John Carter, afterwards concentrating mostly on other characters, such as Thuvia of Ptarth and John Carters son: Carthoris. 
  Narrated by Michael Ward.

  An elven prince. The son of an orc warlord. In two warring nations, their arranged marriage brings peace. They never expected to fall in love. 
  Prince Taegan Glynzeiros has prepared since childhood to fight and lead armies against invading orc forces, the enemies of elves for hundreds of years. But after a successful peace treaty, the elven prince will not be fighting orcs, but marrying one. 
  The first words he speaks to Zorvut are their wedding vows. Despite being considered the runt amongst the orc warlord’s children, Taegan finds him to be intelligent and thoughtful—everything the stereotypes about orcs say he shouldn’t be. He doesn’t want to fall in love, but Zorvut’s gentle soul makes it difficult to resist. Worse, their marriage bond, forged by ancient elven magic between their minds, proves to be a far deeper and stronger connection than anyone expected. Despite their trepidation, a genuine relationship blossoms from the political union. 
  But such a long war is not easily forgotten, and there are both elves and orcs who want to see them apart. When a dark secret comes to light, threatening to nullify the very peace treaty that brought them together, Taegan must decide if his feelings for Zorvut are worth fighting for. 
  This steamy MM fantasy romance, the first in the Orc Prince trilogy, features an arranged marriage with delicious size difference, and contains light omegaverse/A/B/O elements (mpreg is discussed as an in-world possibility, but does not happen on the page). This 18+ novel contains explicit scenes; if that's not your thing, Lionel Hart probably isn't the author for you. 
  ⚠Content warnings: discussions of parental death, infidelity (not between main characters), hunting, animal death.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume we enjoy a favourite device of authors; the story is heading one way and suddenly twists in another direction entirely. In the pens of Ambrose Bierce, Nikolai Gogol, Saki and a host of others where you end up is the very question they propose.
