When faculty members start mysteriously dying, Alex is determined to stop whatever dark forces are behind such atrocities, even if it ultimately costs her future...

    • A spell-binding supernatural thriller of sisterhood and the magic of books
    • Two sisters share the important responsibility of guarding a collection of books like no other. These books have unimaginable powers: some let readers walk through walls, others allow the reader to entirely change faces, they are truly magical books. But as Joanna and Esther Kalotay drift and Esther runs from her magical ties, tensions rise. Has she really escaped the world of magic? Or have the evil organisations that are determined to find the all-powerful books, already found her? Can the sisters combine forces to protect the secrets kept concealed for generations? With thrills and romance, Ink Blood Sister Scribe is a listen that’s almost as magical as the Kalotay sisters’ very own books.

    • Mother, monarch, murderer? The myth of Clytemnestra retold
    • In Ancient Greece women seem helpless. Owned by their fathers then by their husbands, women are forced to simply watch on. But one woman refuses to be controlled. Her name is Clytemnestra. As the daughter of the king and wife of a murderous tyrant, Clytemnestra is stuck in a world of fakery and performance. But when plotting turns to powerful action, no one is safe. Perfect for listeners who enjoyed Ariadne or The Song of Achilles. As one listener comments, Clytemnestra is ‘such a gem… the audio narration is performed with a deep sense of understanding for the book, characters, and story. Together these two talented women made ancient Sparta come alive’ – Audible listener, Morticia Crone.
