    The Magic of Inherian: The Mage of Monrovia, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
    Mexia has already done much more than most school - trained mages when she and her companions had gone in search of the scepter of salvation. But now one of the apprentices of the evil wizard they had destroyed, has stolen his spell book and plans to take up where he had left off, and she has to try and stop him. Mexia believes the only way for her to defeat the mage is to become school trained like he was with the eventual goal of becoming a high wizard--the first of her kind in Inherian. But the current headmaster denies her entrance because she's a woman. Though if she can get the former headmaster's recommendation, she may attend. And that's the beginning of the trouble. First, there's the wizard. Then, the immovable headmaster. And then, the circle of misfortunes. It all goes downhill from there... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Phillips.

    Strong and Courageous: Echoes of War, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min

    Crimes of Humanity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 988min
    Liberia didn't have to wait for the seventh seal to be broken - the Apocalypse had already visited. Fragmented buildings, torn up roads, and bullet signature tattoos on practically every surface evidenced the destroyer. Lynn Fausett entered a world staggering in the aftermath of war. Hired to mine gold and diamonds, Fausett lives along the hostile border region of Sierra Leone during the years 1998-99, home to the acclaimed blood diamond fields. "Butcher of Monrovia" warlord president of Liberia, Charles Taylor, keeps tensions and atrocities high in his fight for control of the mineral wealth of the area. As a result, rage, pillaging, and murder are routine facets of civilian life in Royal Cape Mount County. Fausett similarly is foundering in the wake of his own losses. As he immerses himself into his work and the daily struggle to survive, he finds renewed motivation in his fight to help and protect the people that he comes to know and love. Pulled by competing sides fueled by greed, he's torn between the loyalty he feels to his employer and the greater needs of the Liberian people. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Fausett.

    She Would Be King: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    A novel of exhilarating range, magical realism, and history - a dazzling retelling of Liberia’s formationWayétu Moore’s powerful debut novel, She Would Be King, reimagines the dramatic story of Liberia’s early years through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. Gbessa, exiled from the West African village of Lai, is starved, bitten by a viper, and left for dead, but still she survives. June Dey, raised on a plantation in Virginia, hides his unusual strength until a confrontation with the overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the child of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave from Jamaica, can fade from sight when the earth calls him. When the three meet in the settlement of Monrovia, their gifts help them salvage the tense relationship between the African American settlers and the indigenous tribes, as a new nation forms around them.Moore’s intermingling of history and magical realism finds voice not just in these three characters but also in the fleeting spirit of the wind, who embodies an ancient wisdom. “If she was not a woman”, the wind says of Gbessa, “she would be king.” In this vibrant story of the African diaspora, Moore, a talented storyteller and a daring writer, illuminates with radiant and exacting prose the tumultuous roots of a country inextricably bound to the United States. She Would Be King is a novel of profound depth set against a vast canvas and a transcendent debut from a major new author. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wayétu Moore.

    Mississippi in Africa: The Saga of the Slaves of Prospect Hill Plantation and Their Legacy in Liberia Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 789min
    The gripping story of 200 freed Mississippi slaves who sailed to Liberia to build a new colony - where the colonists' repression of the native tribes would beget a tragic cycle of violence. When a wealthy Mississippi cotton planter named Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa. Ross' heirs contested the will for more than a decade in the state courts and legislature - prompting a deadly revolt in which a group of slaves burned Ross' mansion to the ground - but the will was ultimately upheld. The slaves then emigrated to their new home, where they battled the local tribes and built vast plantations with Greek Revival mansions in a region the Americo-Africans renamed "Mississippi in Africa." The seeds of resentment sown over a century of cultural conflict between the colonists and tribal peoples would explode in the late 20th century, begetting a civil war that rages in Liberia to this day. In the award-winning tradition of Slaves in the Family, this enthralling work traces an epic legacy that sweeps from the slave quarters of the antebellum South to the war-ravaged streets of modern-day Monrovia. Tracking down Prospect Hill's living descendants, deciphering a history ruled by rumor, and delivering the complete chronicle in riveting prose, journalist Alan Huffman has rescued a lost chapter of American history whose aftermath is far from over. ungekürzt.
