  Children of the Sun is the first installment of its self-titled trilogy. This recording is the first portion of the book, and more episodic installments will follow in the near future.  
  In a reimagined precolonial Africa, a powerful king's nephew comes home to find his nation on the brink of war. Unsure of his own next move, he joins his royal warrior cousins on their westward march to stop an invasion. Though he has no plans to fight, other problems find him on the road, pushing him toward an instability of his own. Back in the kingdom, a more distant relative is called upon to keep the peace in a land missing most of its strength. As the overt invasion looms above, she leads the king's defense against an enemy they cannot see, gathering strength right there at home. 
  All the while, old wounds inside the family and out are brought to the surface, threatening to unravel all the players involved. The demons of the past converge with the troubles of the present, giving way to an uncertain future for them all.

  Originally published in 1872, "The Possessed" (also known as "The Devils" or "Demons") is a political novel by the renowned Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The story focuses on a group of revolutionaries plotting an uprising in a provincial Russian town, exploring their motives, philosophies, and interpersonal dynamics. It delves deep into the psychology of its characters, offering a scathing critique of radical ideologies and the intellectuals who espoused them during Dostoyevsky's time. As with much of his work, the narrative is a profound exploration of good and evil, freedom and enslavement, and the nature of power.

  WITH PASSION AND DARING, THEY SEIZED THE PROMISE OF A NEW LAND...
  The seventh book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
  The upheavels in the new colony are frequent and radical. A governor has recently been fired, a rebel government has been forced to retreat, and a new governor has arrived in Australia.
  Will this mean redemption for the freed prisoners in the exile colony? The country needs its loyal fighters — and Jenny Hawley and her family certainly belong there in spite of their past.
  Above all, the new governor needs men of Andrew Hawley and Justin Broome's calibre to be able to transform the country into a thriving, independent nation.
  Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
