Ловцы снов
ISBN: 978-5-907500-16-7 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Аркадия Язык: Русский Аннотация
Саймон, ученый-историк, снимает на лето уютный коттедж на границе Англии и Уэльса, чтобы спокойно поработать над новой книгой. Но что это? В ночи раздаются странные голоса, а в саду среди старых деревьев мелькают чьи-то тени... Беа, жена служащего местного собора утверждает, что это призрак Мерсии, королевы Уэссекса, жившей в этих местах более тысячи лет назад и, по преданию, убившей своего мужа. То ли исторические изыскания Саймона потревожили ее дух, то ли королеве не дает покоя, что она так и не смогла соединиться со своим возлюбленным.
Прошлое все больше проникает в реальность, сплетаясь с ней в виде снов и видений, грозя прорваться бурным потоком, смести привычный жизненный уклад и поломать человеческие судьбы… -

The Ghost Tree
ISBN: 9780008195847 Год издания: 2019 Издательство: HarperCollins Аннотация
Before you follow the path into your family’s history, beware of the secrets you may find…
Ruth has returned to Edinburgh after many years of exile, left rootless by the end of her marriage, career and now the death of her father. She is now faced with the daunting task of clearing his house.
Hidden away in a barely used top-floor room, she finds he had secretly kept a cupboard full of her mother’s possessions. Sifting through the ancient papers, Ruth discovers the diary and letters written by her ancestor from the eighteenth century, Thomas Erskine.
As the youngest son of a noble family now living in genteel poverty, Thomas always knew he would have to make his own way in the world. Unable to follow his brothers to university, instead he joins the navy, rising through the ranks, travelling the world. When he is finally able to study law, his extraordinary experiences and abilities propel him to the very top and he becomes Lord Chancellor. Yet he has made a powerful enemy on his voyages, who will hound him and his family to the death.
Ruth becomes ever more aware of Thomas as she is gripped by his story, and slowly senses that not only is his presence with her, but so is his enemy’s. Ruth will have to draw upon new friends and old in what becomes a battle for her very survival – and discover an inner power beyond anything she has imagined. -

ISBN: 9789985341384 Год издания: 2017 Издательство: Varrak Язык: Эстонский Аннотация
Aastal 1218 sünnib otsekui tulest ebatavaline printsess, kelle müstilised võimed ja murdumatu vaim muudavad ajaloo käiku. Tulest sündinuna suudab ta tulest näha tulevikku, ent tuli toob talle ka kannatusi.
Iidsest Walesi soost hoidja Rhonweni kasvandik Eleyne õpib kummardama iidseid jumalaid ja ta asub toetama keltide võitlust Inglismaa röövelliku kuninga vastu. Paraku napib tal jõudu ja tahet, et õppida tundma ja valitsema oma erakordseid ja üleloomulikke võimeid. Suutmatus nägemusi tõlgendada läheb maksma võimaluse ära hoida eesootavaid hirmsaid õnnetusi.
Kui Eleyne jääb ilma kuningas Alexanderi armastusest ja on sunnitud jätkama kooselu sadistliku abikaasa Robertiga, näib, et jumalad on talle lõplikult selja pööranud ja teadmamees Einioni ennustusel, et Eleyne'ist saab kuningate vereliini ema, pole määratud täituda. -
