Publisher's Summary:

I век до нашей эры. Потерпев поражение в схватке с безжалостным врагом на краю известного мира, выжившие легионеры оказываются в плену у парфян. Брошенные Римом на произвол судьбы, эти люди — Забытый легион. Среди них трое друзей: галл Бренн, этрусский прорицатель Тарквиний и Ромул, беглый раб и внебрачный сын римского патриция. Объединенные ненавистью к Риму и мечтой о Свободе, они противостоят диким племенам, которые их окружают, а также куда более коварным врагам в рядах самого легиона… Тем временем Фабиола, сестра-близнец Ромула, храня надежду, что ее брат жив, вынуждена бороться во имя собственного спасения. Освобожденная могущественным любовником, но окруженная врагами со всех сторон, она отправляется в Галлию, где ее покровитель противостоит свирепым местным воинам. Но более сердечной привязанности ею движет жажда мести: лишь он, правая рука Цезаря, в силах помочь ей осуществить коварный замысел…

An ancient blade, fit for the gods but tainted with a deadly curse. Bjarki Bloodhand has finally managed to subdue his gandr, the spirit that gives him the ferocity of a bear in battle. Yet losing his berserker prowess may leave him at the mercy of his foes. Meanwhile, his half-sister, the shield maiden Tor Hildarsdottir, has slain two warriors from the personal retinue of the new Jarl of Norrland – and now faces brutal reprisals for their deaths. Valtyr Far-Traveller claims he has a solution to their problems: a long voyage south to the wild Slav lands to find a fabled lost sword said to once belong to the Norse trickster god. The journey will prove more perilous than anything Bjarki or Tor has ever attempted before. Can all three heroes hope to survive the desperate hunt for... The Loki Sword? An epic Viking quest for a legendary sword, perfect for fans of Giles Kristian and Conn Iggulden. Praise for The Last Berserker, Volume One in the Fire Born series 'Donald has taken the legendary berserkers, those frothing-at-the-mouth shield-biters, and made them human, which once again proves that Donald is a writer not only at the top of his game, but of the game ...

Great characters, brilliantly paced and explosive, gritty battle-scenes. Highly recommended' John Gwynne, author of Malice 'Well researched detail and stunning battle scenes make The Last Berserker a white knuckle ride. A thrilling, up-all-night read' C. R. May, author of The Day of the Wolf 'I loved it. Bjarki and Tor are great characters, instantly relatable. The depth of the immersion in their world and their values gives the book authenticity and weight' Cecelia Holland, author of The Soul Thief

Release date: January 1, 2023

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Faith is something we all have. Fervour we see as passion without control or reason whether to a person, a cause, a God. It comes in many forms, many shapes, many sizes. It may be a one-time thing or a life-long devotion. It may be our guiding light or reached for only when life has obstacles that on our own we can’t fully navigate. We need to believe that some force, some power, can reach out and remove the problem, the danger. Our classic authors including James Joyce, F Scott Fitzgerald, Guy der Maupassant, AntonChekhov and Helena Blavatsky test faith in ways that only their imaginations can.01 - Short Stories About Faith and Fervour - An Introduction02 - Benediction by F Scott Fitzgerald03 - God Sees The Truth But Waits by Leo Tolstoy04 - Gods in Exile by Heinrich Heine05 - A Fragment of Stained Glass by D H Lawrence06 - The Atheist's Mass by Honore de Balzac07 - Silence by Leonid Andreyev08 - The Lightning Rod Man by Herman Melville09 - The Student by Anton Chekhov10 - The Story of St Vespaluus by Saki11 - The Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant12 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne13 - Lazarus by Leonid Andreyev14 - The Open Boat by Stephen Crane15 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky16 - The Locket by Kate Chopin17 - The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller by Gustave Flaubert18 - Cain by Alexander Kuprin19 - The Botathen Ghost from Footprints of Former Men in Far Cornwall by the Reverend R S Hawker20 - The Strength of God by Sherwood Anderson21 - The Christ of Toro by Gabriela Cunninghame Graham22 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain23 - Blessed Are the Meek by Mary Webb24 - The Shaker Bridal by Nathaniel Hawthorne25 - The Shades, A Phantasy by Vladimir Korolenko26 - The Man Who Would Be King - Part 1 by Rudyard Kipling27 - The Man Who Would Be King - Part 2 by Rudyard Kipling

Title: Modernist Short Stories

Author: James Joyce, Virginia Woolf

Narrator: Laurel Lefkow, Jim Norton

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 31 minutes

Release date: January 1, 2023

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Grouping together works by various authors into a theme should be relatively simple. Choose a theme, choose an author, choose a story. But some themes can be a little baffling. Modernism is a lovely bright term that should do exactly what it says on the cover. Yet the authors and stories themselves can be baffling in some respects or streamlined and clean lined words in another. Definitions of what is Modernism can seem arbitrary or blurred. In essence we can agree on some but not on others: 01 - Modernist Short Stories - An Introduction02 - Eveline by James Joyce03 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman04 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield05 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker06 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf07 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence08 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein09 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield10 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon11 - Araby by James Joyce12 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield13 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner14 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf15 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis16 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington17 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield18 - White Bread by Zona Gale19 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield20 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe21 - The Dead - Part 1 by James Joyce22 - The Dead - Part 2 by James Joyce

Publisher's Summary:

War is always a tragedy. There may be a winner of sorts but always a loser. The cost in injuries, death, destruction can never be fully recovered even if glossed over by a military or political elite that proclaims otherwise.Even further down on the scale of mankind’s self-destructive baseness is Civil War. One Nation with Two Sides locked in a ferocious fight is inevitably more painful and more despoiling. Civilians are the bait in the trap. Two sets of values may be proclaimed and many offer loyalty to one or the other but society also has those who just want the space and time to live, to enjoy their family and friends. Each to his own.In the American Civil War that began in 1861 the War was seemingly fought to end Slavery. A War for Good. The result a win for the good guys but a society that still bears fractures from this seminal period. The stories in this volume show the true scars that are endured as a riven Nations authors try to explain and reconcile. 01 - Short Stories About the American Civil War - An Introduction02 - An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce03 - The Brothers by Louisa May Alcott04 - The Namesake by Willa Cather05 - The Affair At Coulter's Creek by Ambrose Bierce06 - The Locket by Kate Chopin07 - The Veteran by Stephen Crane08 - Chickamauga by Ambrose Bierce09 - My Red Cap by Louisa May Alcott10 - Parker Adderson, Philosopher by Ambrose Bierce11 - The Coup de Grace by Ambrose Bierce12 - Christmas Eve in War Times by Edward Payson Roe13 - The Eyes of the Panther by Ambrose Bierce14 - A Man With Two Lives by Ambrose Bierce15 - A Horseman in the Sky by Ambrose Bierce
