Doch nach einem traumatischen Erlebnis hat sein Vater, der König, Garrets Pflichten an seinen Zwillingsbruder Kian übergeben.

Bis er Lola Barnes kennenlernt, eine attraktive Unternehmerin aus den USA.

    City Infernal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    When Cassie's twin sister, Lissa, commits suicide, Cassie discovers she can travel to Hell to retrieve her sister's soul. Cassie thought she knew all about the Hell of legend, but finds Hell has evolved over the millennia into a bustling city full of the damned with looming skyscrapers, crowded streets, systemized evil, and atrocity as the status quo. Hell is a city. It stretches, literally, without end-a labyrinth of smoke and waking nightmare. Just as endlessly, sewer grates belch flame from the sulfur fires that have raged beneath the streets for millennia. Clock towers spire in every district, by public law, but their faces have no hands; time is not measured here in seconds or hours but in atrocity and despair. In the center of this morass of stone and smoke and butchery and horror stands the 666-floor Mephisto Building, where Gargoyles prowl the wind-blown ledges and from whose highest garrets the innocent are hung from gibbets and left to rot for eons. The lone occupant of the very top floor looks down upon his dominion and smiles a smile that is brighter than 1,000 suns. Here, yes, everyone is dead yet everyone lives forever. Welcome to the Mephistopolis. Welcome to the city of Hell. Welcome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael T. Bradley.

    A London Apprentice is a fast moving, sometimes bawdy, story set in 1726.The underbelly of London is dramatic, with eccentric and theatrical characters creating situations of surprise and adventure. Amongst the humor and sparkle of this story, the telling of it requires some mature themes and adult situations, theatrical though they may be.Innocent Fanny Tomlinson, becomes destitute and homeless when her mother dies. Her only relative is Aunt Marie in London, to whom she will apprentice. Leaving all that is familiar, her first encounter of the city is an execution at Tyburn. Arriving safely at the Swan Inn, she is soon abducted into the dangerous underworld of 18th-century London. However, she is befriended by sideshow performers.Fanny is intelligent, but to survive she must absorb the energy of London. With every step towards her desire for independence, events happen that challenge her principles. Will her association with villains and outcasts destroy her or make her stronger?Unknown to Fanny, she carries a secret, which will only be revealed if she is worthy.From slum garrets, gaudy brothels, and molly houses to the bewitching Theatre Royal, Fanny collects colourful friends and acquaintances, whose actions could teach her independence. Will she be brave enough to become a true citizen of London?The 18th-century was a different world. Life for a vulnerable young woman was very precarious, having to face situations that today are unacceptable.

    The World of Tomorrow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1092min
    Three brothers caught up in a whirlwind week of love, blackmail, and betrayal culminating in an assassination plot, set in prewar New York. June 1939. Francis Dempsey and his shell-shocked brother Michael are on an ocean liner from Ireland bound for their brother Martin's home in New York City, having stolen a small fortune from the IRA. During the week that follows, the lives of these three brothers collide spectacularly with big-band jazz musicians, a talented but fragile heiress, a Jewish street photographer facing a return to Nazi-occupied Prague, a vengeful mob boss, and the ghosts of their own family's revolutionary past. When Tom Cronin, an erstwhile assassin forced into one last job, tracks the brothers down, their lives begin to fracture. Francis must surrender to blackmail or have his family suffer fatal consequences. Michael, wandering alone, turns to Lilly Bloch, a heartsick artist, to recover his lost memory. And Martin and his wife, Rosemary, try to salvage their marriage and, ultimately, the lives of the other Dempseys. From the smoky jazz joints of Harlem to the Plaza Hotel, from the garrets of artists in the Bowery to the shadowy warehouses of mobsters in Hell's Kitchen, Brendan Mathews brings prewar New York to vivid, pulsing life while the sweeping and intricate storytelling of this remarkable debut reveals an America that blithely hoped it could avoid another catastrophic war and focus instead on the promise of the World's Fair: a peaceful, prosperous "World of Tomorrow". ungekürzt.
