  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  The Last Line 
  A Titanic Novel — Book Two in the “Tales of Love and Loss” Series 
   By Laura McCrum 
  April 1912. 
   As the RMS Titanic sets sail on her maiden voyage, First Officer William Murdoch stands at the helm of the world’s most magnificent ship — outwardly composed, yet quietly burdened by something left unresolved on shore. 
  From the grandeur of first class to the fragile hopes of steerage, The Last Line reveals the final days aboard Titanic through the eyes of a man navigating both authority and conscience. As tensions flicker and unease stirs among passengers, William finds himself watching more closely… choosing more carefully. 
  Through letters written from Queenstown to the final night, and Ada’s increasingly troubled reflections at home, their love story unfolds against a backdrop of class divides, quiet premonitions, and a fate neither can escape. 
  When the unthinkable happens, one letter remains — the last line between a husband’s promise and a widow’s grief. 
  Blending meticulous historical detail with evocative storytelling, The Last Line reclaims the legacy of a man defined not by rumour, but by courage, conflict, and heart.

  “…action-packed, historically accurate, and engaging…”— Kirkus Reviews 
  Her destiny was certain. Until it wasn’t.

  Ten dry seasons later, in 1619, Chi, now a seasoned warrior in the Kanaian army, and preparing for her own future as queen, faces a mystery that threatens the existence of Kana. The once-peaceful queendom is upended when nearby villagers disappear en masse, including their ruling families—and one of Chi’s closest friends. Chi vows to find her missing landspeople and bring them home, no matter where they are. She and the women warriors travel across the ocean to Jamestown, Virginia to face down the pale men who have built a trade in human beings. 
  To change the course of history for her people and herself requires Chi to discover a new kind of bravery and her true destiny. 
  Julie L. Brown’s No One Will Save Us is a sweeping novel of alternative history that explores what it means to be free and the resilience it takes to keep it.
