Widdershins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1255min
Ever since Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie Riddell were introduced in de Lint’s first Newford story, "Timeskip", back in 1989, their friends and readers alike have been waiting for them to realize that they belong together. Now, in Widdershins, a stand-alone novel of fairy courts set in shopping malls and the Bohemian street scene of Newford's Crowsea area, Jilly and Geordie’s story is finally being told. Before it’s over, we’ll find ourselves plunged into the rancorous and sometimes violent conflict between the magical North American “animal people” and the more newly arrived fairy folk. We’ll watch as Jilly is held captive in a sinister world based on her own worst memories—and Geordie, attempting to help, is sent someplace even worse. And we’ll be captivated by the power of love and determination to redeem ancient hatreds and heal old magics gone sour. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kate Reading.

Air Force lieutenant Rick Walsh has just gotten off a 12-hour flight from Guam at the Tucson Airport.

The Eclipse Dancer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 293min
Andy thought of flying. She imagined the air under her arms, her hair lifting and floating. She felt her heartbeat separate from the faraway beat and form its own rhythm: light, quick, a dancing thrum. When she opened her eyes, her yard was dusky and her mood had lightened. She let her gaze drift across the darkening landscape. Andy’s heart filled with exultation. She raised her arms, fanned out her fingers, and arched her feet until she was on her toes. She was assaulted by memories. Her mother was dying, and Danny had been dead for years. Her daughter was in Minneapolis, and Alana was up in the North Woods someplace. All of her childhood friends - the fairies, Hairy, Mr. Tolliver, and Kenshi - were gone.Is it true that childhood is never overcome? “I have changed,” she whispered.The light exploded into a ring of fire in a black sky: total eclipse. She gently rose up into the warm, dark air and began to dance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Woody Scott. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/151933/bk_acx0_151933_sample.mp3.
