    The Captain's Door , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
    At the helm of a tall ship stands Mina Paradis. She may look young, but Mina's spent a lifetime serving her family and country. Now she's tired, so tired, of following orders and watching her friends grow old and die while she never ages a day. Desperate to escape the slow suffocation of a circumscribed life, Mina prepares to break the terms of her indenture. Such treason threatens to propel her through an intensely personal struggle to save herself, spare her crew, and face an adolescence long-delayed. The Captain's Door opens the Mina Paradis series with a unique exploration of obligation and independence set in an alternative 19th century. Fans of character-driven fantasy, like that of Ursula K. Le Guin, will appreciate the slower pace and literary build. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K Orion Fray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/012701/bk_acx0_012701_sample.mp3.

    Diana was comfortably well off after the sudden death of her husband. But she did not have the kind of money she needed to finance her hobby: the acquisition and training of expensive slave-girls. Her neighbor, Rupert Caine, owned a harem of the most beautiful sex-toys in the country, but he refused to even lend them to Diana. If only she could get him to part with one or two of the girls, her problems would be solved. As a former professional poker player, Diana was confident she could win some of Caine’s girls in a card game. But in order to get Caine to play, she would have to sign a contract of indenture, putting up her own freedom as her stake in the game.... By Judicial Decree 5: Contract Law is another exciting story in Commander James Bondage’s popular series set in an alternate world, where slavery is an everyday fact of life. ungekürzt.

    I've Been Meaning to Tell You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
    For listeners of Between the World and Me and We Should All Be Feminists, an intimate and profound meditation on the politics of race today, from prize-winning novelist David Chariandy. I can glimpse, through the lens of my own experience, how a parent or grandparent, encouraged to remain silent and feel ashamed of themselves, may nevertheless find the strength to voice directly to a child a truer story of ancestry. When a moment of ignored-in-the-moment bigotry prompted his three-year-old daughter to ask, 'What happened?' David Chariandy began wondering how to discuss with his children the politics of race. A decade later, in a newly heated era of both struggle and divisions, he writes a letter to his now 13-year-old daughter. The son of Black and South Asian migrants from Trinidad, David draws upon his personal and ancestral past, including the legacies of slavery, indenture, and immigration, as well as the experience of growing up as a visible minority in the land of his birth. In sharing with his daughter his own story, he hopes to help cultivate within her a sense of identity and responsibility that balances the painful truths of the past and present with hopeful possibilities for a better future. ungekürzt.

    The Indentured Queen: Crowns & Courtships Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    King Benjamin is about to have control of his own home for the first time in his life. By evicting his uncle, he can finally become the ruler he was meant to be. Finally live up to the legacy handed down to him, beginning with King Alfred the First, and embodied in his own father, King Alfred the Second.  But revenge is a dish best served cold - or at least lukewarm - and his uncle's revenge comes just two days later when a press release announces Benjamin's engagement. To a modern-day scullery maid.  Katrin Jonsson took over her mother's debt to the Eyjanian royal family as soon as she turned 18. Five years down. Only 10 - or more - to go. Until the king offers her a way out. Marry him, in name only, for a year, then disappear. Her indenture will be paid off - and, more importantly, her mother and brother will be taken care of for life.  The wedding won't change anything about her life because no one will know the truth of their arrangement. A disconcerting incident softens Katrin's heart toward the usually impassive king. But, even as she begins to fall for the man he could become, she wonders if she'll ever be more than The Indentured Queen? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman.

    Kushiel's Avatar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1881min
    The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good...and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt. Phèdre nó Delaunay is a woman pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, and through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. Her very nature is a torturous thing for them both, but he is sworn to her and he has never violated his vow: to protect and serve. But Phèdre's plans put Joscelin's pledge to the test, for she has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe. She has spent ten long years searching for the key to free him from his eternal indenture, a bargain he struck with the gods - to take Phèdre's place as a sacrifice and save a nation. Phèdre cannot forgive - herself or the gods. She is determined to seize one last hope to redeem her friend, even if it means her death. The search will bring Phèdre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, and down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world.And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name. ungekürzt.

    Sparrowhawk, Book Three: Caxton , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
    It is fall 1759. The saga of Jack Frake and Hugh Kenrick moves to Caxton, a small trading town on the York River in Virginia, some miles up the wide river from Yorktown. Jack Frake, after having served his eight-year indenture, is a successful tobacco planter, having inherited his property from his former master, with whom he formed a close father-son relationship. He married the master's daughter, but she and her son died in childbirth. His close friend on the plantation is John Proudlocks, an Indian whom he taught to read. Other planters' properties lay on the outskirts of Caxton, including Reese Vishonn's, the largest planter. Hugh Kenrick arrives in Caxton on the Sparrowhawk on the very day news arrives of General Wolfe's victory over Montcalm in Quebec. He has spent several years in Philadelphia, attending an academy and learning the trade and business in the shop of Otis Talbot, a merchant he met years before in England. After touring a bankrupt plantation, Brougham Hall, with Talbot, he decides to purchase it--and its slaves. He is invited to a victory ball at Reece Vishonn's great house at his plantation, Enderly. There he meets Étaín McRae, the daughter of a Scottish trader, and Jack Frake. As gossip and rumors fly around Caxton about Hugh Kenrick's status and his intentions, Hugh decides on a name for his new possession: Meum Hall--My Hall. Hugh is invited to call on Francis Fauquier, Esquire, lieutenant governor of Virginia, in Williamsburg. In the governor's mansion, the lieutenant governor and Hugh have a frank exchange of views on the war, on North America, on the Indians, and on Britain's mercantilist hold on the colonies. ungekürzt.
