Diviner's Prophecy: Diviner's Trilogy Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
The prophecy foretells the rise of evil intent on ruling all the kingdoms. For generations, Maea's family has met this foe and destroyed it before it could be unleashed. But now the power that her ancestors used to stop it in the past is lost. A sorcerer's spell has wiped Maea of all her memories, including the prophecy that can save her kingdom. Maea is trapped at court, controlled by her foster mother who wants to use Maea's power to see into the future for her own gain. At court, secrets and betrayal are common fare and Maea's powers give anyone who controls her the advantage. With no one to trust, she can only rely on herself to break the curse. When she meets the charming prince Adair, she thinks he is just another courtier intent on using her. His reputation as a rogue proceeds him, and she has no intention of being his next conquest. But his offer to help her break the curse is too good to be passed up. Together they uncover a plot that stretches back centuries and centers on Maea's family. Her quest has thrust Maea into the middle of a struggle for thrones. If she chooses the wrong side, she just may lose her head. With lives on the line, Maea must use her powers to find who to trust before it is too late. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Castiglioni.

A Burnable Book: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 839min
In Chaucer's London, betrayal, murder, and intrigue swirl around the existence of a prophetic book that foretells the deaths of England's kings. London, 1385: Surrounded by ruthless courtiers - including his powerful uncle, John of Gaunt, and Gaunt's artful mistress, Katherine Swynford - England's young king, Richard II, is in mortal peril. Songs are heard across London - catchy verses said to originate from an ancient book that prophesies the ends of England's kings - and among the book's predictions is Richard's assassination. Only a few powerful men know that the cryptic lines derive from a "burnable book", a seditious work that threatens the stability of the realm. To find the manuscript, wily bureaucrat Geoffrey Chaucer turns to fellow poet John Gower, a professional trader in information with connections high and low. Gower discovers that the book and incriminating evidence about its author have fallen into the unwitting hands of innocents, who will be drawn into a conspiracy that reaches from the king's court to London's slums and stews - and potentially implicates Gower's own son. As the intrigue deepens, it becomes clear that John Gower, a man with secrets of his own, may hold the key to saving the king, and England itself. Medieval scholar Bruce Holsinger draws on his vast knowledge of the period to add colorful, authentic detail - on everything from poetry and bookbinding to court intrigues and brothels - to this highly entertaining and brilliantly constructed literary mystery that brings medieval England gloriously to life. ungekürzt.

Fool's Fate: The Tawny Man Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1901min
The triumphant conclusion to the Tawny Man trilogy, from the author of the best-selling Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies. The moving end to the tale of the Farseers, in which kingdoms must stand or fall on the beat of a dragon's wings, or a Fool's heart. A small and sadly untried coterie – the old assassin Chade, the serving-boy Thick, Prince Dutiful, and his reluctant Skillmaster, Fitz – sail towards the distant island of Aslevjal. There they must fulfil the Narcheska’s challenge to her betrothed: to lay the head of the dragon Icefyre, whom legends tell is buried there deep beneath the ice, upon her hearth. Only with the completion of this quest can the marriage proceed, and the resulting alliance signal an end to war between the two kingdoms. It is not a happy ship: tensions between the folk of the Six Duchies and their traditional enemies, the Outislanders, lie just beneath the surface. Thick is constantly ill, and his random but powerful Skilling has taken on a dark and menacing tone, while Chade’s fascination with the Skill is growing to the point of obsession. Having ensured that his beloved friend the Fool is safely left behind in Buckkeep, Fitz is guilt-stricken; but he is determined to keep his fate at bay, since prophecy foretells the Fool’s death if he ever sets foot on the isle of the black dragon. But as their ship draws in towards Aslevjal a lone figure awaits them… ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Taylor.

The Holy Bible - Isaiah: King James Version, Hörbuch, Digital, 208min
The Book of Isaiah was written by Isaiah (the son of Amoz), who served as prophet between 740 - 701 BC. This was a critical period in the history of Israel when corruption was rampant. The Jews were breaking God’s covenant and engaging in idolatry.Isaiah mentions Israel as falling to corruption. He says that there is hope for the people of Israel if they repent and mend their ways. In his dream, Isaiah saw God, who told him to preach to the people to remember and obey Him.He foretells of the fall of Israel and the exile of the Jews if they persist in their corrupt ways. However, he also talks of hope should the Israelites turn back to God. Having seen no hope, Isaiah follows the command of God and continues to preach. He also prophesizes the rebuilding of Israel after it is destroyed and the coming of a Messiah named Immanuel.Isaiah’s prophecies kept coming true, including Jerusalem being attacked by the Assyrians and Babylonians, leading to its total destruction. What also came true was the return of the Jews to Jerusalem and the coming of Jesus Christ. Some words of Isaiah were passed down in the form of scrolls on which he had written and passed to his disciples.As prophesied, God sends Jesus Christ to spread His word and tell the Jews to turn away from the life of sin, but most of them do not. Jesus Christ experiences unbearable suffering at their hands and eventually dies. He is resurrected thereafter. After his resurrection, some people took heed and began to follow the path that he showed them.While this book emphatically speaks of God’s judgement and the consequences of disobeying Him, it is also a story of hope, love, mercy, and salvation.
