Spell of Intrigue: Dance of the Gods, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
The port town of Oolsmouth used to be a quiet, peaceful trading city. But with Maximillian the Vaguely Disreputable, Shaa, the Great Karlini, and the Creeping Sword all about to converge there, it seems unlikely to stay that way. The usual power struggles - gods vs. mortals vs. gods-know-who in the everlasting Dance of Gods - are brewing in Oolsmouth, and tension is building. But the ship carrying Shaa and the Great Karlini into town has been hijacked, the Creeping Sword has already missed the boat (literally), and Max has taken a detour to try to discover the secrets of a hopefully long-dead sorcerer. These delays have got everyone wondering: Will they make it to Oolsmouth in time for the showdown? More importantly: Do they want to? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory Gorton.

Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 884min
Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Abandoned by her mother, ignorant of her father's identity, Lirael resembles no one else in her large extended family living in the Clayr's glacier.

Nonetheless, it is Lirael in whose hands the fate of the Old Kingdom lies. She must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil, one that opposes the Royal Family, blocks the Sight of the Clayr, and threatens to break the very boundary between Life and Death itself.

Fraudulent Spiritualism Unveiled , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
David Phelps Abbott (1863-1934) was a magician, author and inventor who created such effects as the floating ball. A contemporary and friend of Harry Houdini, Abbott made it a calling to expose charlatans who used the tricks of his trade for unscrupulous purposes, especially those who claimed to communicate with the dead at the expense of their living counterparts. He explains that any presentation of the magical, whether by nature or artist, has some mundane mechanics behind it. While all art seeks to disguise its source, magic has a unique relationship to its mechanics. The magicians or the charlatans aims to displace one’s attention from one cause to another. In this work, Abbott examines some of the acts that he considered disreputable - and by exposing these seemingly impossible feats he reveals how people are manipulated. ungekürzt. Language: English.
