    The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter's Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 530min
    The year is 1745, and Prince Charlie of the defeated royal house of Stuart has just returned to Scottish soil. A weighty choice faces every Scottish man. Should he stitch a white cockade to his hat and join the fight to restore James, Prince Charlie's father, to the British throne? Or should he stay at home and back George II, the reigning king? One Lowland family, the Duries of Durisdeer and Ballantrae, believe they've found a clever way to sidestep the decision. With the toss of a coin, a choice is made that will haunt their lives forever. Critics consider this to be Stevenson's greatest work. For, though there is plenty of adventure, (including midnight duels, pirates, and smugglers), the true merit of the novel comes from the author's masterly portrayal of the fraternal enemies. If you've never read this book, you won't want to miss this! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: B.J. Harrison. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harr/000087/bk_harr_000087_sample.mp3.

    Scandalous: The Cross and The Resurrection of Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min
    D. A. Carson, one of today's most notable Bible scholars, introduces the irony, scandal, and greatness of the work done on the cross. How are Christians to approach the central gospel teachings concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus? The Bible firmly establishes the historicity of these events and doesn't leave their meanings ambiguous or open to interpretation. Even so, there is an irony and surprising strangeness to the cross. Carson shows that this strange irony has deep implications for our lives as he examines the history and theology of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Scandalous is the latest addition to the Re:Lit series, which highlights important theological truths in accessible and applicable ways. Both amateur theologians and general listeners will appreciate how Carson deftly preserves weighty theology while simultaneously noting the broader themes of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through exposition of five primary passages of Scripture, Carson helps us to more fully understand and appreciate the scandal of the cross. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Haag.

    Rex Regis: Imager Portfolio, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1010min
    The saga of the Imager Quaeryt, commander in the forces of Lord Bhayar, reaches a new climax as the great struggle to unify the continent of Lydar enters its final phase. Only the land of Khel remains uncommitted to Bhayar's rule. Their decision could mean a lasting peace, or more conflict across an already war-ravaged realm. While the conqueror of Bovaria awaits emissaries to arrive with news of Khel's decision, other weighty matters occupy Bhayar, his sister Velora, and her husband Quaeryt-not the least of which is the fulfillment of Quaeryt's dream to create the world's first Imager academy, where the magical abilities of these powerful casters may be honed, managed, and put to the service of the common good. But before that dream may be realized, or Khel's fateful choice made known, the spectre of high treason threatens to unravel all that Quaeryt has achieved, catapulting him toward a fateful confrontation with Bhayar's most powerful military leaders. ungekürzt.

    'I would compare her to writers like Helen Dunmore, Elizabeth Strout, Jon McGregor' BBC Radio 4 'Harding achieves a weighty sense of silence and things not said in this unsettling book about the aftershocks of trauma and the burdens of bearing witness' Sunday Times 'A masterly achievement, illuminating with wisdom and compassion the darkest corners of the human heart' Guardian A farm in Norfolk in the 1970s.

    Wizard's Toll: Harbinger of Doom, Volume 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    Lord Angle Theta and his men seemed unstoppable. Unbeatable. No matter the odds against them. But when they met their match in the swamps of storied jutenheim, Lomerian blood ran like rivers. Ector and Malcolm Eotrus had a simple duty. Keep safe their family's mighty fortress, as had their ancestors for untold centuries. They failed. Trolls loped out of the northern mists, a hunger for man-flesh in their bellies. The trolls took what they wanted. They didn't even leave the bones behind. Karktan of Malvegil knew that the Black Hand assassins had hunted his beloved lord for years. They finally caught him. Murdered him, along with Karktan's brother and Lomion's troubled king. Now Kartkan is hunting them. Frem Sorlons and his Pointmen could fight their way out of anything. Until they found themselves trapped between an army of bloodthirsty Ettins and the relentless legions of Svartleheim. Time and again, Lomerian wizards conquered challenges that brawn and brain alone could not master. But magic has a weighty price. Even the greatest sorcerers cannot escape the Wizard's Toll.  *Unabridged* ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle De Cuir.
