Crowner's Quest (eBook, ePUB)

Sometimes the most sinister of cases have the simplest of origins...Christmas Eve, 1194. County coroner Sir John de Wolfe gratefully escapes his wife Matilda's party to examine the body of a canon who has been found hanged. Suicide is suspected, but it is soon apparent there's more to this case than meets the eye. As always, John's investigations are hampered by his unpleasant brother-in-law, Sheriff Richard de Revelle. But when a local lord is killed, John begins to suspect the cases are linked - and that Sir Richard's reasons for delaying the investigation may be more serious than his usual acts of petty vengeance. Desperately trying to deflect Sir Richard's plots against him, John is soon at loggerheads with both Matilda and his beloved mistress Nesta. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy that could cost him far more than the women in his life. A medieval mystery adventure with a shocking twist, ideal for readers of Edward Marston, Laura Shepherd-Robinson and Ellis Peters.

It has come time for the Denynso men to say goodbye to their mates as they prepare for their journey through Uoria.

These special gifts perfectly exemplify who the women are, and the men tuck them away gratefully, happy that they will still have tangible reminders of their mates during their journey. In the backs of their minds, though, they wonder if these items may prove useful as they face their challenges.Once they are finally on their journey, the first place that they visit is the old, burned-down Klimnu prison. What they discover inside a dungeon, however, completely changes what they thought they knew about the planet and the Denynso themselves.

Growing Up: A Dirty Story About a Dirty Country: Empty Nation Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min

In this second volume the girls (Mary and Jane) are simply man-handled, trained, and abused by any real-world standard. But gratefully for the sake of these promiscuous but adorable young creatures (they are registered as livestock animals) this is a fictional novel. The pair survives unharmed and satisfied emotionally, physically, and in many intimate ways as they grow up in the new USA Inc. The story in the series is further defined by lectures from primary and high school teachers, rambling on about their propaganda-induced knowledge of the new world in the Modern Social Economic System (MSES). The MSES is a newly created system of governance that rewards sexual prowess where size matters. Free love, free sex - the downtrodden citizenry is quite pleased despite most of the population living in FEMA zones. An even more sick and twisted part about America in the future is that society has again accepted a class system (MSES), where it promotes men who are sexually well-endowed and, on the other hand, abuses its citizens based on their mediocre sexual ability. ungekürzt.
