    Summary:
    A young Chatti by the name of Adalwulf rides his stolen horse to the lands of the Marcomanni, hoping to find a ring-giver and a new life. What he finds instead is a mysterious priestess looking for him, his innate ability to fight like a demi-god, and plenty of trouble. In the era of Augustus, the borders of River Rhenus are waiting for a change. While the Marcomanni have an uneasy peace with Rome, Rome is turning its eye to the north. The feuds of two Goth lords, Bero and Hulderic, thrust Adalwulf in a desperate quest that will determine not only his future, the fate of a high-born enemy, and the life of a woman he loves, but also the future of the whole Marcomanni tribe. Will Adalwulf succeed in his quest of the Two Swords, even when he has to deal with Leuthard, the beastly champion of the Marcomanni, a strange band of mercenaries led by a murderer, and Roman traitors?

    Summary:
    It is December, 1648, and England faces one of the greatest crises in its history. Bands of renegade soldiers and broken men roam the countryside, looting, burning, and raping. In Parliament, former allies are torn apart after six years of bloody conflict. Will there be peace instead of war, or a military takeover of the country? John Swynfen, a rising young MP and one of the leaders of the moderate party, is working for peace, but only if safeguards can be established to protect Parliament and control the powers of the king. Ranged against him and his friends are Oliver Cromwell and his son-in-law Henry Ireton, intent on seizing power by the sword and destroying not only the monarchy but the elected government. Within a few weeks, London is occupied by Cromwell's army, parliamentary government is in ruins, the king is executed. And John Swynfen is a prisoner. Anne Swynfen travels home from Westminster to Staffordshire with her young children through a desperate winter. There, uncertain whether she will ever see her husband again, she takes charge of the large estate, where starvation looms due to bad harvests, and violent danger threatens from outlaws and the armies of both sides. While she struggles against prejudice to do a man's job, John is shot, beaten, shackled, humiliated, and tortured. Tempted by golden promises if he recants, threatened with death if he does not, he tries to cling to his sanity and his beliefs. When he finally escapes, he begins a terrible journey home across war-torn England to find his wife. This is a story about keeping faith - many kinds of faith - in the face of terror, anguish, and despair.

    In 1848, women can expect a few bumps along the Oregon Trail. Corinne Temple, age 17, has a few ridiculous challenges to face outside the river crossings, snakes, Indians, accidental gunshots, and finding enough privacy to be clean along the grimy trail.

Corinne’s journey takes her from the cobblestone streets of fashionable Boston to the rugged mountains of the West, across rivers and deserts, from sea to shining sea. A faithful heart gets this young woman through the hardest days on the trail; her skills and resolve show her and others how a woman can rise from circumstances and survive. Join her as she discovers her own strength and resilience in...Finding Her Way. Previously released as Seeing the Elephant, revised, rewritten, and professionally edited.

    Résumé:
    Noël 1558, le jeune Ned Willard rentre à Kingsbridge : le monde qu'il connaissait va changer à tout jamais... Les pierres patinées de la cathédrale dominent une ville déchirée par la haine religieuse et Ned se retrouve dans le camp adverse de celle qu'il voulait épouser, Margery Fitzgerald. L'accession d'Élisabeth Ire au trône met le feu à toute l'Europe. Les complots pour destituer la jeune souveraine se multiplient, notamment en France où la séduisante Marie Stuart - considérée comme l'héritière légitime du royaume anglais et issue de la redoutable famille française de Guise - attend son heure. Pour déjouer ces machinations, Élisabeth constitue les premiers services secrets du pays et Ned devient l'un des espions de la reine. À Paris, il fait la connaissance de la libraire protestante Sylvie Palot dont le courage ne le laisse pas indifférent... ©2017 Ken Follett / Éditions Robert Laffont S.A.S., Paris, pour la traduction française (P)2017 Audiolib
