      Life for Allison Johnson, a young girl growing up in the heart of a thriving independent capital city, was good. Part of a well-to-do Krio family, she and her siblings had enjoyed the best of everything, and Allison was quick to share her life with their new adoptive sister, an orphan from the provinces. Just as she starts to discover love with an unlikely suitor, tragedy strikes. The Republic is in crisis. As events spiral out of control, Allison's life as she knows it is turned upside down. On the other side of a vicious civil war, she must give up everything she has known as home, to seek safety in the United States. Navigating the turn of events and her new life as an immigrant, she finds strength and resilience she had only heard about in the stories of her ancestors. She immerses herself in a quest for spiritual restoration until a sudden shift puts her at the center of a plot to bring the decayed Republic back from the brink. She's intrigued by the opportunity but must contend with ghosts from a dark past.

      Jane Austen completed just six novels in her short life, but the works of Jane Austen have earned her a special place among the world’s most revered and enjoyed authors. Today, 200 years after the publication of her most famous book, Pride and Prejudice, the novel is still near the top of the most-loved books pile. Born the daughter of a clergyman, she observed the morals and behaviour of the landed gentry of her time with brilliant description, gentle wit and biting satire.

    • Po Tajemství královské rodiny a Tajemství Vatikánu vychází třetí publikace z této řady. Tentokrát se slovem i obrazem zabývá tajemstvími Řádu svobodných zednářů. Odkrývá jednotlivé vrstvy staletých dějin významného společenství a nabízí informovaný i zábavný pohled na počátky, postoje, praktiky a rituály této organizace. Kniha přináší také přehled mnoha slavných osobností, které jsou nebo byly svobodnými zednáři, ať už jejich profesí byla hudba, malířství, literatura či politika; jmenujme například W. A. Mozarta, Jonathana Swifta či Winstona Churchilla. Během své osmisetleté historie bylo svobodné zednářství často spojováno se skandálními podvody, úplatkářstvím, dokonce i s vraždami, a tato kniha mnohé z oněch smyšlených historek uvádí na pravou míru.
