The Time of Contempt
Summary
The Time of Contempt: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! Soon to be a major Netflix original series! To protect his ward, Ciri, Geralt of Rivia, sends her away from the home of the Witchers to train with the sorceress Yennefer. But all is not well within the Wizard's Guild in the second book of the NYT best-selling series that inspired the blockbuster video games. Geralt is a witcher: guardian of the innocent; protector of those in need; a defender, in dark times, against some of the most frightening creatures of myth and legend. His task, now, is to protect Ciri. A child of prophecy, she will have the power to change the world for good or for ill - but only if she lives to use it. Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Romanov
Summary
My name is Anastasia.... The history books say I died.... They don’t know the half of it. Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before. Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her. That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad...and he’s on the other. Praise for Romanov: “I am obsessed with this book! A magical twist on history that will have Anastasia fans wishing for more. I loved every detail Brandes wrote. If you love magic and Imperial Russia, you want Romanov on your shelf!” (Evelyn Skye) “Romanov will cast a spell on readers and immerse them in a history anyone would long to be a part of.” (Sasha Alsberg) “If you think you know the story behind Anastasia Romanov, think again! The perfect blend of history and fantasy, Romanov takes a deeper look at the days leading up to the family’s tragedy, while also exploring the possibilities behind the mysteries that have long intrigued history buffs everywhere. Brandes weaves a brilliant and intricate saga of love, loss, and the power of forgiveness. Prepare to have your breath stolen by this gorgeous novel of brilliant prose and epic enchantment.” (Sara Ella) Full-length, stand-alone YA historical reimagining Includes a special bonus chapter! Includes discussion questions for book clubs!

Fawkes
Summary
Guy Fawkes' son must join his father's plot to kill the king if he's to survive the plague overtaking his body in this reimagined fantastical history of the Gunpowder Plot. Remember, remember the fifth of November. In 17th-century London, two forces rule the people: the color powers and the Stone Plague. Brown masks can manipulate wood. Black masks control the night. And red mask...well, red is the color of blood. Thomas Fawkes needs a gray mask so he can remove the stone that has invaded his body and will ultimately take his life. But when he fails his color test, his only hope is to track down his father, the infamous Guy Fawkes, and demand his color mask. But his father has other plans: to kill the king. Thomas must join forces with his father if he wants to save his own life. When his errands for the cause bring him time and again to Emma Areben, a former classmate, he is exposed to a whole new brand of magic. Emma doesn't control just one color - she controls them all.And she wants to show Thomas the full power of color magic, but it goes against everything his father is fighting for. If Thomas sides with his father, he could save his own life. But it would destroy Emma and her family. To save one, he must sacrifice the other. No matter Thomas' choice, one thing is clear: Once the decision is made and the color masks have been put on, there's no turning back. Praise for Fawkes: "An imaginative, colorful tale about choosing for yourself between what's right and what others insist is the truth." (Cynthia Hand, New York Times best-selling author of My Lady Jane) "Hold on to your heart as this slow burning adventure quickly escalates into an explosion of magic, love, and the truth about loyalty." (Mary Weber, best-selling author of the Storm Siren Trilogy and To Best the Boys) "A magical retelling that will sweep you back in time - to a divided England where plagues can turn you to stone and magic has a voice." (Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author) "A must-read for all fantasy fans!" (Lorie Langdon, author of Olivia Twist) "Brandes turns 17th-century London into a magical place." (Jill Williamson, author of By Darkness Hid and Captives)
