It is a story of families, and of Rose Fox, a woman born to magic but tormented by her place in her adopted world. Led by Auberon Fox, a group of Aetherials—call them the Fair Folk, if you will—live among us, indistinguishable from humans.Every seven years, on the Night of the Summer Stars, Lawrence Wilder, the Gatekeeper, throws open all gates to the Other World. But this time, something has gone wrong. Wilder has sealed the gates, warning of a great danger lurking in the realm beyond them. The Aetherial community is outraged. What will become of them, deprived of the home realm from which their essential life force flows?Rose Fox and Sam Wilder are drawn to the lands beyond the gates, even as their families feud over Lawrence’s refusal to do his duty. Struggling with their own too-human urges, they discover hidden truths that draw them together in a forbidden alliance. Only by breaching the dreaded gates and daring the danger beyond can they confront that which they fear most— their otherness—and claim their birthright. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Lady Chatterley's Lover , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 874min, (USK 18)
Lady Chatterley's Lover, written in 1928, tells the story of a passionate love affair between an upper class woman and her husband’s gamekeeper, which was thought to be so shocking in its content and its straightforward use of explicit sexual terms, that it was not officially published until 1960. Its 1961 second edition contained this dedication from the publisher: "For having published this book, Penguin Books were prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act, 1959 at the Old Bailey in London from 20 October to 2 November 1960. This edition is therefore dedicated to the twelve jurors, three women and nine men, who returned a verdict of 'Not Guilty' and thus made D. H. Lawrence's last novel available for the first time to the public in the United Kingdom." Now firmly established as a classic of English literature that was written well before its time, what saved it from being banned for ever was its literary merit, upheld by some of the most distinguished writers and critics of the time. Lawrence’s prescient musings on the changes in society and his authentic depiction of two unhappily married people, finding in this most unlikely and potentially doomed coupling the physical and emotional balance that they both crave, are as relevant today as they were then.

The Blighted Cliffs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 649min
Set in the early 19th century, when Britain was fighting hard to rule the waves: a wonderfully entertaining, swashbuckling adventure series, and a dashing hero, for whom life – and love – does not always turn out the way he intends it to. January 1806: Martin Jerrold comes to Dover in order to restore the reputation he ruined at Trafalgar, in which trapped below deck for the duration of the battle, he finally emerged – in deepest disgrace, but alive. Before he has been in Dover a day, however, he finds himself standing over a corpse at the foot of the cliffs. This might not matter, except that the body is too far from the cliffs to have fallen accidentally or even suicidal, and Jerrold is suspected of murder. His captain seems to despise him; and the magistrate, Sir Lawrence Cunningham, wants to hang him, but no one can be found to identify the body, let alone press charges. When word reaches Jerrold’s long suffering uncle at the Admiralty, the choice is stark: he must either clear his name or be cut off without a guinea.Somewhere in Dover’s twisted streets, someone knows something, but can Jerrold find them? Nothing is as it seems, especially in Dover where smuggling is a way of life, everyone has well stocked wine cellars, and the local banker has a lucrative connection with the French. And all the time, Jerrold is under suspicion, finding sympathy only from the unlikely direction of Sir Lawrence’s wife Anne, and in the rather less respectable arms of Isobel, the girl who seems – without any great effort on Jerrold’s part – to be becoming his mistress. Distrusted by his superiors, set upon by curiously well informed smugglers, attacked by the French at sea, Jerrold has two weeks to save his skin – or perish in the attempt. ungekürzt.

Pandora Young, daughter of the Viscount Mooreland, has a penchant for getting into trouble. She’s always blamed it on her namesake, but really, she’s always just been insatiably curious. When her family moves next door to the infamous Duke of Lawrence’s deserted estate, she can’t help herself. She walks over and lets herself in. Surprisingly, the mansion isn’t actually deserted. She comes across several household staff and needs to hide from what looks to be a butler. She opens a door and locks herself in. What she doesn’t really is that the room is occupied, and not by someone as trivial as a butler....Nash, Duke of Lawrence, thinks he’s drank himself a little too under the table when he sees what must be a mirage enter his bedroom. The woman is petite, though surprisingly supple and curved in all the right places. Her mahogany hair is falling down around her face and her creamy skin is flushed and…dirty? He’d think her a maid if not for the obvious quality of her dress and the way she curtsies to him as if they’re at a party. Amazed that the little minx has actually let herself into his property, he accuses her of theft and other nefarious purposes, and wants to call the constable and her father. When he gets too close for comfort and demands that she stay here until he can verify who she is, she offers him a deal. She’ll come back for three nights and, short of losing her virginity, she’ll do whatever he asks in order to let her go back home now so she doesn’t get into trouble.Nash intends to only get to know her the first night - he doesn’t want to scare her and doubts she’s had much experience. However, they end up sharing a kiss that nearly causes him to lose control. And, even worse, he tells her about himself. The man behind the dukedom, and why he stays in a ‘deserted’ mansion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Duchess DeFoix.

The Lightning Runner: A Western Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
A gripping Max Brand Western full of innumerable plot twists! Notorious outlaw Lawrence Grey has been captured near El Paso. Marshal Neilan has a proposal for him. Neilan will set Grey free if he tries to locate John Ray, a man who was last known to be living in San Vicente, Mexico. The men Neilan sent previously have disappeared or quit the job. Brick Forbes of Pittsburgh is worth millions. Ray once did him a kindness. Now that Forbes is desperately ill, he wants to leave his fortune to Ray rather than to his own relatives. Grey agrees to Neilan’s proposal and goes to San Vicente, where he promptly saves the life of Mexican general Miguel O’Riley during a bombing attempt. The general makes inquiries and learns that the stranger who saved his life is called John Lawrence and that he is studying Spanish. Another American named Dickson Jarvis, employed by Forbes’s relatives, informs O’Riley that Lawrence is actually a wanted outlaw on both sides of the border. Later, Jarvis is murdered. Lawrence has his own audience with General O’Riley and asks him for a guide into the mountains. O’Riley sends for Oliver Slade, a man who strangely resembles the one who killed Jarvis. This proves only the beginning of an intrigue in which Lawrence’s life is threatened continually from all sides.
