Legends & Lattes

By: Travis Baldree
Narrated by: Travis Baldree
Length: 8 hours 1 minute

“Having cherished the initial installment, Legends & Lattes, my expectations were notably high as I delved into this second novel.

The realization that it was a prequel emerged only towards the end, and this revelation may have... Read more

The Poppy War

A Novel

The Poppy War

By: R. F. Kuang
Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller
Length: 19 hours 27 minutes

“The first in a brilliant trilogy, The Poppy War is easily one of the best books I have ever read.

A Marvellous Light

The Last Binding: Book #1

By: Freya Marske
Narrated by: David Thorpe
Length: 14 hours 30 minutes

“For lovers of fantasy, queer romance, and Edwardian-era sass, A Marvellous Light is a whirlwind tale of two seemingly opposites attracting.
