  In the lush, oppressive heat of colonial Java, nothing is as it seems. Behind the polished rituals of Dutch colonial life, a quiet unraveling begins. Governor Van Oudijck believes in order, reason, and control. But something else, something older and more powerful, is working against him. 
  As social tensions rise and his family begins to fall apart, Van Oudijck finds himself at odds not just with those around him, but with an unseen force that defies explanation. 
  The Hidden Force is a sharp, unsettling novel about power, pride, and the invisible threads that shape a crumbling empire. Written in 1900, this haunting story explores the clash between Western arrogance and the spiritual reality of the East. 
  For readers who appreciate layered literary fiction, political undercurrents, and psychological suspense set in colonial environments.

  Love is immortal and time, as we know it, is circular. A modern American girl is about to discover just how mystical the world can be. 
   
   
   
  Destry Caldbeck, smarting from being jilted at the altar, travels to Ireland on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. While visiting Dowth, an ancient Neolithic site outside of Dublin, she encounters a group of students and their instructor. Dr. Conor Da Derga is everything an Irishman should be—enormous, muscular, red-headed, and drop-dead sexy. 
   
   
   
  Soon, they find themselves caught up in a maelstrom of time shifts, landing them back in the Middle Ages of Ireland's history where they discover a high king's destiny. 
   
   
   
  But their situation is far more complex and dangerous than it seems. 
   
   
   
  Conor was once known as the Ard-Rí of Ciannachta, a powerful ancient kingdom. As the High King, he was much respected but as he quickly discovers, his jealous brother rose up against him and Conor and Destry were banished to the nether regions by an evil wizard. It's up to Destry and Conor to save a kingdom that once belonged to them and to understand that their lives are caught up in an ancient cycle of fate they can't control. 
   
   
   
  And a love that will never end.

  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  England. 1923. After a year away at finishing school where she learned etiquette, deportment, and the difference between a fish fork and a salad one, Kitty Worthington is eager to return home. But minutes after she and her brother Ned board the Golden Arrow, the unthinkable happens. A woman with a mysterious connection to her brother is poisoned, and the murderer can only be someone aboard the train. 
   
   
   
  When Scotland Yard hones on Ned as the main suspect, Kitty sets out to investigate. Not an easy thing to do while juggling the demands of her debut season and a mother intent on finding a suitable, aristocratic husband for her. 
   
   
   
  With the aid of her maid, two noble beaus, and a flatulent Basset Hound named Sir Winston, Kitty treads a fearless path through the glamorous world of high society and London's dark underbelly to find the murderer. For if she fails, the insufferable Inspector Crawford will most surely hang a noose around her brother's neck.
