"New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a riveting tale of desire, danger, and passion in the next installment of the Dragon King series.
Contains mature themes."
"Philosophy: The Basics gently eases the listener into the world of philosophy. Each chapter considers a key area of philosophy, explaining and exploring the basic ideas and themes, including: Can you prove God exists? How do we know right from wrong? What are the limits of free speech? Do you know how science works? Is your mind different from your body? Can you define art? How should we treat non-human animals?
For the fifth edition of this bestselling book, Nigel Warburton has added an entirely new chapter on animals, revised others, and brought other sections up to date. If you've ever asked 'what is philosophy?', or wondered whether the world is really the way you think it is, this is the audiobook for you."
"I am the evil that destroys worlds. And yet I would die to protect her…
Our last quest lies before us, and we now run the final race against the forces of darkness. We dare to try to waken a dead god, but my heart misgives me.
The shade of the long-dead druid we summoned spoke one word that blazes in my memory. Sacrifice. What did he mean? My companions and I might die by the hand of our enemies. This we know, and risk. Yet I think he meant more.
If so, I fear it is my daughter who will pay the price. But I am Drom, and I am ready. I reck nothing even of gods, and I will save her no matter what it takes…"
"Is she my daughter? I protect her against steel and sorcery as though she is, and maybe it will give meaning to my life…
I may never learn the truth. Perhaps I don’t deserve to. All I need to know is that her enemies will kill her if they can. That makes them my enemies, and I am Isarn the Invincible. A name to make them tremble.
And she has power herself. Strands of destiny swirl through the very air we breathe, and lay before us a quest more dangerous than anything I have known.
For the land, ruled by a tyrant, stands upon the brink of ruin. The task fate sets me is just the first step to saving it. Yet my enemies unleash unspeakable magic to destroy any threat.
Sorcery that even the goddess of evil forbids…"
"The game is afoot. The game of life and death. The game of druids, gods and destiny…
My companions and I begin a quest. We must seek the Great Druid in the forest sanctuary of his kind, and win knowledge from him. Yet there is a problem.
He is dead.
Even so, my companions have the power to raise a shade. The walls of Death can be breached, for those who have the gift. Or curse.
Yet what then? The Dark creeps malevolently, inexorably, over my land. It will snuff us all out. The Great Druid knows lore that will help us fight. That will defend us against evil."
"Themistocles (524–459 BC) came of age just as a newly democratic and empowered Athens was emerging. He would become an instrumental political and military figure, fighting in the Battle of Marathon; persuading Athenians to expand their fleet; and engineering the Athenians' defeat of the Persians at the Battle of Salamis. However, as Michael Scott demonstrates in this biography, Themistocles failed as much as he succeeded.
Scott offers a fully human picture of Themistocles, a man who could be both decisive and heroic as well as uncertain and unprepared. He was loved and hated in Athens, his plans and ideas ignored as often as they were respected. Eventually he was exiled as a traitor, ultimately settling in Persia as an adviser to Artaxerxes, the son of Xerxes, his foe at Salamis. And yet, in the aftermath of his death, he emerged as one of Greece's historical heroes.
In this portrait of a man Thucydides deemed one of the most illustrious Greeks of his time, Scott reveals one man's struggle to navigate the turbulent world of Athenian politics, and the crucial role of historians and biographers in shaping, and distorting, the image of Themistocles that has come down to us through the centuries."
"Regret is a burden. I should know. And magic makes it worse…
Once, the crowd adored me. I was young and the world was small. I fought in the arena, and I was good. The best. Warriors feared me. Kings praised me. And women…
Best to say little of that. Yet one ruined me. Cast me aside. Betrayed me. Those who showered me with gold turned to hunting me with steel. Because of her.
Age hides me now. But it robs me too. Strength and skill are fading, just when I need them most. The adoring crowds of my youth would not know me, and my name is dead on their lips. Fame, you are a traitor.
Now, another woman comes into my life as the ancient evil I once fled casts its shadow over the realm. She is my daughter, and I protect her from her enemies. Yet I do not tell her the truth.
Men I can still fight. Magic I can thwart, with a touch of my own. But the leader of my daughter’s enemies is worse.
She is a god…"

"A thrilling epic of duty, magic, and vampyres set in the Third Age that looks at why Lord Drakan invaded Hallowvale. Sure to delight RuneScape fans old and new, this stunning tale shows how and why Hallowvale was taken over.
The vampyres are coming.
As the God Wars grind towards their brutal conclusion, the armies of darkness descend upon the city of Hallowvale—vampyres, werewolves, and legions of cruel mortal warriors, led by Lord Drakan. The streets are filled with panic, but Queen Efaritay remains confident. Surely Saradomin, Lord of the Light, will save them? Their military will stand strong, the glow of the Everlight will stave off the vyre and, if all else fails, the Queen has a secret weapon.
Can the knightly warriors defending Hallowvale stand firm, or will they be undone not by the wicked efforts of their foe, but by the faltering reign of their queen, Efaritay? And why has Drakan become obsessed with claiming Hallowvale for himself?
Faced with desperate choices, the queen adopts a risky strategy to turn the tide. Her choices will echo for eternity as the fate of Hallowvale teeters on the brink."
