The Rules of Inheritance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
A powerful and exhilarating story of life and loss. In this astonishing debut, Claire Bidwell Smith, an only child, is just fourteen years old when both of her charismatic parents are diagnosed with cancer. What follows is a coming-of-age story that is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. As Claire hurtles towards loss she throws herself at anything she thinks might help her cope with the weight of this harsh reality: boys, alcohol, traveling, and the anonymity of cities like New York and Los Angeles. By the time she is twenty-five years old they are both gone and Claire is very much alone in the world. Claire's story is less of a tragic tale and more of a remarkable lesson on how to overcome some of life's greatest hardships. Written with suspense and style, and bursting with love and adventure, The Rules of Inheritance vividly captures the deep grief and surprising light of a young woman forging ahead on a journey of loss that humbled, strengthened, and ultimately healed her. ungekürzt.

Daughters of Atlas: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
Meet The Runner. In a past life, it was laps around a track and long, leisurely jogs through the neighborhood. At Geneva Grace College, she runs to escape the truth. A former star and high school standout, first-year student, Kennedy, is quickly humbled by her new surroundings. Classes, team politics, and even simple friendships are difficult to pace, let alone master. Initially, she grins and bears it, mostly because that is what the ultraconservative college leadership encourages. “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Besides, new obstacles give Kennedy something to focus on other than the cute girls sitting in her lectures, sporting spandex at practice, and moving in right next door. Along the way are Kennedy’s friends, the six other Pleiades. To challenge her is the sagely roommate: Laurel. To tempt her, the devious playmate: Becca. And, in a parallel quest of self-discovery, the injured soulmate: Torry. These women will grow, adapt, live, and love on a campus that rewards conformity - in a time that doesn’t realize revolution is just around the corner. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Accompanied by the rakish Gaspare and an ancient black dragon, Damiano's beloved Saara embarks on a quest to rescue Raphael. Their odyssey leads them to a shattering confrontation with the Father of Lies and a transcendent reckoning with destiny.

Finale: A Novel of the Reagan Years , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1037min
From the author of the acclaimed novel Watergate comes a galvanizing new novel about the tumultuous administration of the most consequential and enigmatic president of modern times - Ronald Reagan. Finale takes listeners to the political gridiron of Washington in 1986, the wealthiest enclaves of Southern California, and the volcanic landscape of Iceland, where the president engages in two almost apocalyptic days of negotiation with Mikhail Gorbachev. Along with Soviet dissidents, illegal arms traders, and antinuclear activists, the novel's memorable characters include Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter, Pamela Harriman, John W. Hinckley, and even Bette Davis, with whom the president long ago appeared on screen. Several figures - including a humbled, crafty Richard Nixon; the young, brilliantly acerbic Christopher Hitchens; and an anxious, astrology-dependent Nancy Reagan - become the eyes through which listeners see the last convulsions of the Cold War, the AIDS epidemic, a clash of ideologies, and a political revolution. At the center of it all - but forever out of reach - is Reagan himself, whose genial remoteness confounds his subordinates, his children, and the citizens who elected him. ungekürzt.

Whisked away to a private, members-only resort by her lover, Quinn, she is given a deeper glimpse into BDSM, first as an observer, then as his participating partner. Humbled that Rebecca has placed her trust in his hands, Quinn Montgomery intends to take her training slowly. She is strong, yes, but has a vulnerability she goes to great lengths to hide. But when he sees her interests in the props, and toys, he can't help but think he needs to start her training sooner rather than later. She is soon taken to pleasure's edge, where rules and protocol both bind and heighten desires. When Quinn's rival turns fun and games turn in to something dark and dangerous, Rebecca is left shaken and scared when a hard limit is crossed, and Quinn fears he could lose the one woman who has come to mean so much to him. ungekürzt.

The Burning of the White House: James and Dolley Madison and the War of 1812 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min
Told from multiple points of view - including those of James and Dolley Madison and a British admiral - this is the true story of the burning of the White House in 1814. It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814, enemies didn't fly overhead; they marched through the streets, and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, DC, and set fire to government buildings, including the US Capitol and the White House. Relying on firsthand accounts, historian Jane Hampton Cook weaves together several different narratives to create a vivid, multidimensional account of the burning of Washington, including the escalation that led to it and the immediate aftermath. From James and Dolley Madison to the British admiral who ordered the White House set aflame, historical figures are brought to life through their experiences of this unprecedented attack. The Burning of the White House is the story of a city invaded, a presidential family displaced, a nation humbled, and an American spirit that somehow remained unbroken. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bane , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
Bane Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud. Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.

Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently. Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies. Jesse Carter Hot as hell, cold as ice. I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap. She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time. She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad. More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack. Little does she know, I have the f--king teeth for it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christian Rummel, Savannah Peachwood.

Where's the Next Shelter? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
Where's the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,000-mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience; and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off-kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing. Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian Mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous. Much more than an orderly account of mountaintops and meals, this book is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go. It's about screwups and solutions, awe and inspiration. If you long for the horizon or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Sizer.

What was calling me was eternal. I had no words to describe it, but its draw on me was deep and ancient in ways I could not even begin to grasp, much less articulate. I wanted something more than the rituals, ceremonies, fancy robes, and lifelessly rote and memorized performances I witnessed in church each Sunday. I wanted something deeper and more heartfelt, something more real and alive with the Love of God I felt inside… and I found it! My life has been transformed by God’s Grace. I now experience richness, color, and depth of life and love I had not experienced before. My heart is full with gratitude, appreciation, and humbled awe for my new life. It is a life infused with a greater love for God, for Prophet, for others, and even for myself. True Love was always there; it only needed to be unchained, set free, and allowed to soar! Let my story help you on your own journey to true love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirsten Trump. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/129381/bk_acx0_129381_sample.mp3.
