DOWNLOAD EBOOK1775. Newly released from the notorious asylum known as Bedlam, Lady Lydia Farrell finds herself in an equally terrifying position--as a murder suspect--when she stumbles upon the mutilated body of Sir Montagu Malthus in his study at Boughton Hall. Meanwhile Dr. Thomas Silkstone has been injured in a duel with a man who may or may not have committed the grisly deed of which Lydia is accused. Despite his injury, Thomas hopes to clear his beloved's good name by conducting a postmortem on the victim. With a bit of detective work, he learns that Montagu's throat was slit by no ordinary blade, but a ceremonial Sikh dagger from India--a clue that may be connected to the fabled lost mines of Golconda. From the mysterious disappearance of a cursed diamond buried with Lydia's dead husband, to the undying legend of a hidden treasure map, Thomas must follow a trail of foreign dignitaries, royal agents--and even more victims--to unveil the sinister and shocking secrets in the stones.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA soul-stirring novel about the bonds between mother and child and the redemption that comes with facing the past and letting it go. Thirty-two-year-old Jess Abbot has lost everything: her job, her apartment, and--most heart-wrenching--her eight-year-old son, Chance, to a tragic accident. Haunted by memories and grief, Jess packs what's left and heads for the small mountain town of Pine Lake, where she takes a position as caregiver to an eccentric old woman. A rumored clairvoyant, Lucy is strange but welcoming and immediately intuits Jess as a "loose end" in need of closure. But Jess isn't the only guest in Lucy's large Victorian home. There's also Star, a teenage runaway with a secret too painful to share. And the little boy with heart-shaped stones, who comes with a hope for reconciliation--and a warning. Soon Jess learns that she's not the only lost soul running from the ghosts of the past. She and Star have been brought together for a reason: to be saved by the very thing that destroyed them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn order to attract readers, it was not uncommon for magical texts of the 16th century to take on the name of a notable figure. Such is the case with The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus, whose secrets are, in fact, a compilation from a number of different sources by an anonymous author who was, according to editors Best and Brightman, probably one of Albertus Magnus' followers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Thomas discovers a strange stone covered with symbols and runes near Hadrian’s Wall, he finds himself drawn into the mystery of a secret, ancient organization known as the Stewards. Consulting his fellow academics, the archaeologist is determined to learn more about this elite group and their apparent connection to extraterrestrial visits to Earth over the course of human evolution. The protagonist slowly unravels a hidden story of Alien influence, from early agricultural developments to modern space exploration, and their partnership with the Stewards to protect and safeguard the knowledge of their visits and to help maintain the balance of the natural order, both on Earth and within the cosmos. The archaeology professor’s research leads him to holy sites throughout Britain and the influence of Celtic Spirituality as he explores what the Celts called “thin” places. Over the course of his quest, Thomas is given another stone etched with a strange glyph, but his journey of discovery puts him in the path of the Apostles of Hades, a sinister group determined to undermine this balance. Drawn to Stonehenge, Thomas meets another professor whose field of study is the ancient stone monument. Revealing herself to be a modern-day Steward, Dr. Vaughn assists Thomas in unravelling the secrets of the artifacts and, together, they gain allies to defeat the Apostles of Hades. When the true power of the stones is discovered, Thomas and the now-powerful Stewards find themselves in a cosmic clash to preserve the future of Earth’s existence. The novel is a familiar plot of science-fiction, yet with an intriguing Celtic twist.
