The Bronze Eagle - A Story of the Hundred Days by Baroness E. Orczy audiobook.

Genre: adventure

France, 1815: the Bourbons have been restored, loyalties are brittle, and then a startling rumor becomes reality - Napoleon has escaped Elba and is marching back toward Paris. In this charged moment, Crystal de Cambray, proud daughter of an uncompromising royalist exile, is being drawn into a brilliant match with Victor de Marmont, a polished young aristocrat who carefully hides a dangerous truth: his heart belongs to the Emperor. Standing between them is Bobby Clyffurde, an English gentleman whose affection for Crystal is complicated by his outsider's view of French politics and by his growing alarm at the webs of deception tightening around her family. As factions maneuver, friends become rivals, and private promises collide with public cause, Crystal is forced to question what honor demands when the country itself is changing shape overnight. Sweeping from glittering salons to shadowed meetings, The Bronze Eagle blends romance and intrigue with the thunder of history, as the Hundred Days rush toward an inevitable reckoning.

Beau Brocade by Baroness E. Orczy audiobook.

Genre: romance

In the tense aftermath of the Jacobite defeat, the moors and villages of Derbyshire fill with King George's troops, proclamations, and rewards for anyone accused of treason. Philip James Gascoyne, young Earl of Stretton, has become a hunted man - not for what he has done, but for what a powerful enemy insists he has done. Forced into rough disguise and desperate secrecy, Philip finds precarious shelter at the forge of John Stitch, an honest blacksmith whose loyalty could cost him everything. Philip's one hope lies in reaching his sister, Lady Patience Gascoyne, and placing in her hands the letters that can clear his name. But the road to London is watched, and Sir Humphrey Challoner is determined to tighten the net. Into this danger rides Beau Brocade, a masked highwayman whispered of with equal parts fear and admiration, who steals boldly from the privileged and seems to answer to a private code of honor. As Patience wagers her safety on trust and speed, Orczy weaves romance, pursuit, and secret identity into a swashbuckling struggle against injustice, where one misstep could mean ruin for them all.

The Dream Doctor by Arthur B. Reeve audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When the managing editor of the New York Star orders reporter Walter Jameson to spend a month shadowing his friend Professor Craig Kennedy, Jameson thinks he is signing up for a profile. Instead, he is pulled into a relentless chain of cases that show why Kennedy is feared by criminals and admired by police: he investigates with microscopes, chemicals, wires, and a cool logic that treats every clue as a measurable fact. The assignment begins with a baffling death on Broadway. Prominent broker Price Maitland is found conscious yet suddenly paralyzed and speechless, a typewritten farewell note in his pocket and a tiny wound on his hand. As rumors swirl around Maitland's wife, her prophetic nightmares, and a doctor tied to strange new theories of the mind, Kennedy suspects a method of murder so subtle it can slip past ordinary autopsies. From that opening, the month accelerates into a panorama of early twentieth-century New York crime: secret listening devices, eerie curses, vanishing evidence, and schemes that weaponize both technology and psychology. With Jameson racing to record it all, Kennedy must prove that even dreams and human suggestion can be traced back to a real, deliberate hand.

Riceyman Steps by Arnold Bennett audiobook.

Genre: drama

In a narrow corner of Clerkenwell, a steep little passage called Riceyman Steps leads to the cramped secondhand bookshop of Henry Earlforward, a man of strict habits and even stricter accounts. Henry lives by ledgers and bargains, measuring every candle stub and crumb of coal, convinced that thrift is the only true virtue in a city that wastes. Yet the world presses in: the everyday bustle of London trade, the small dramas of neighbors and customers, and the lives of the women who keep his shop and his rooms running. When Henry forms an unexpected attachment that promises companionship and comfort, his hard-won routines are tested by desires he does not know how to name and fears he cannot easily master. Around him, quieter figures carry their own longings and compromises, revealing how poverty, pride, and respectability can shape a life as decisively as any grand ambition. Arnold Bennett crafts an intimate portrait of obsession and tenderness, asking what it costs to hoard safety, and what might be lost when a man tries to count his way to happiness.

Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope audiobook.

Genre: romance

Doctor Thorne is the third of Trollope's Barsetshire novels, and unlike some of the others, has little to do with the politics and personalities of the Church of England, or politics on the national level (though there is lots of politicking in the mythical county of Barsetshire itself). The plot revolves around the illegitimate Mary Thorne, who has been lovingly raised by her uncle, a country doctor, and who, as she comes of age, finds herself wondering whether she is a lady (in the county sense of the term). Frank Gresham, son of the squire of Greshamsbury, is in love with her (much against the wishes of his noble de Courcy relatives at the Castle), but she dismisses his affection at first as mere puppy love, thereby setting the scene for a series of entanglements, social, romantic, and of course, financial and propertied (never far from the action in Trollope's works). Their resolution, of course, makes up the meat of the novel. One critic has remarked that in Doctor Thorne Trollope succeeds in one of the most difficult tasks an author of fiction can face: how to make genuinely good people genuinely interesting, so that they engage not only the sympathies but also the interest of readers

Harry Heathcote of Gangoil by Anthony Trollope audiobook.

Genre: drama

In the hot, uneasy backcountry of colonial Australia, Harry Heathcote is a young squatter determined to hold together Gangoil, the cattle station he has built into a symbol of order, hard work, and English respectability. But the frontier has its own rules. As drought tightens its grip and political winds favor small settlers over big runs, the boundary lines around Gangoil turn into fault lines: neighbors resent what Harry owns, rumors travel faster than the mail, and every decision he makes is judged as arrogance or weakness. When fire breaks out in the bush and suspicion falls on those closest to the station, Harry finds himself fighting on several fronts at once - against the land, against a hostile community, and against the fear that his own temper will cost him everything. With his wife watching the conflict reshape their home life and loyalties in the district shifting by the day, Harry must decide what justice means when the law feels distant and reputation can burn as quickly as grass. Trollope delivers a tense, intimate portrait of pride, property, and responsibility at the edge of empire.

An Eye for an Eye by Anthony Trollope audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In An Eye for an Eye, Anthony Trollope turns a sharp, compassionate gaze on love, pride, and the quiet violence of social rules. When Fred Neville, a young English officer from a powerful family, is stationed in Ireland, he meets Kate McDermot, the spirited daughter of a struggling local gentleman. Their attraction is immediate, but the world around them is built to keep such a match from becoming more than a summer dream. Fred is bound by the expectations of rank, money, and family influence, while Kate and her father carry the weight of old grievances and a fierce sense of honor. As affection deepens into promises, every choice becomes entangled with questions of duty, reputation, and the long shadow of resentment between England and Ireland. Trollope builds the tension through intimate conversations, anxious letters, and the steady tightening of consequences, asking whether love can survive when it must be hidden, denied, or bargained over. With psychological precision and a mounting sense of inevitability, the novel explores how a single careless act can demand a terrible price.

(Volume 13) Arabian Nights - The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night by Anonymous audiobook.

Genre: folklore

This is a collection of stories collected over thousands of years by various authors, translators, and scholars. They are an amalgam of mythology and folk tales from the Indian sub-continent, Persia, and Arabia. No original manuscript has ever been found for the collection, but several versions date the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800 and 900. The stories are wound together under the device of a long series of cliff-hangers told by Shahrazad to her husband to prevent him from executing her. In translating the Nights, R. F. Burton attempted to invent an English equivalent of medieval Arabic. In doing so, he drew upon Chaucerian English, Elizabethan English, and the 1653 English translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart of the first three books of Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel (1532-1546).
