Dragon's Kin audiobook

Beginning with the classic Dragonriders of Pern, Anne McCaffrey has created a complex, endlessly fascinating world uniting humans and great telepathic dragons. Millions of devoted readers have soared on the glittering wings of Anne's imagination, following book by book the evolution of one of science fiction's most beloved and honored series. Now, for the first time, Anne has invited another writer to join her in the skies of Pern, a writer with an intimate knowledge of Pern and its history: her son, Todd.

Young Kindan has no expectations other than joining his father in the mines of Camp Natalon, a coal mining settlement struggling to turn a profit far from the great Holds where the presence of dragons and their riders means safety and civilization. Mining is fraught with danger. Fortunately, the camp has a watch-wher, a creature distantly related to dragons and uniquely suited to specialized work in the dark, cold mineshafts. Kindan's father is the watch-wher's handler, and his son sometimes helps him out. But even that important job promises no opportunity outside the mine.

Then disaster strikes. In one terrible instant, Kindan loses his family and the camp loses its watch-wher. Fathers are replaced by sons in the mine - except for Kindan, who is taken in by the camp's new Harper. Grieving, Kindan finds a measure of solace in a burgeoning musical talent . . . and in a new friendship with Nuella, a mysterious girl no one seems to know exists. It is Nuella who assists Kindan when he is selected to hatch and train a new watch-wher, a job that forces him to give up his dream of becoming a Harper; and it is Nuella who helps him give new meaning to his life.

Meanwhile, sparked by the tragedy, long-simmering tensions are dividing the camp. Far below the surface, a group of resentful miners hides a deadly secret. As warring factions threaten to explode, Nuella and Kindan begin to discover unknown talents in the misunderstood watch-wher-talents that could very well save an entire Hold. During their time teaching the watch-wher, the two learn some things themselves: that even a seemingly impossible dream is never completely out of reach . . . and that light can be found even in the deepest darkness.

The Debutante Divorcee audiobook

"Married girls in New York these days put almost as much effort into losing husbands as they once did into finding them"

In 2004, Plum Sykes jet-setted to bestsellerdom with Bergdorf Blondes , a playful debut novel that introduced listeners to the glamorous world of Park Avenue Princesses. Now Sykes takes us into the world of Debutante Divorcees —high society's newly unwed heiress set.

Lauren Blount's life is beautifully arranged: she's very rich, very young, very thin, very pretty—and very, very divorced. She is the most reckless and glamorous of Manhattan's Debutante Divorcee set. Lauren captivates Sylvia Mortimer, the group's token newlywed. But while Lauren sets out on a morality-lite, orgasm-heavy "Make Out Challenge, " Sylvia discovers her marriage isn't exactly an Eternity ad—especially when the city's most notorious Husband Huntress zeros in on her spouse. Navigating a world of Divorce Showers and Power Christenings, Socialite Babies, Professional Friends, Gorgeous West Village Wives, and Un-Googleable Men, Sylvia fears her husband is straying and starts asking, as Lauren says, "Who needs a husband anyway?" With her delightful mix of charm, cheek, and satire, Sykes has written a second novel that promises to be every bit as beloved as her smash debut.

Plum Sykes was born in London and educated at Oxford. She is a contributing editor at Vogue, where she writes on fashion, society, and Hollywood. She has also written for Vanity Fair. Her first novel, Bergdorf Blondes , was a runaway national bestseller and has been translated into fifteen languages. She lives in London and New York City.

Born and raised in London, Sonya Walger is best known for her role opposite Mike Binder in the HBO show The Mind of the Married Man . She made her onscreen debut opposite Alan Rickman and Janeane Garofalo in the film, The Search for John Gissing . Sonya now lives in Los Angeles, where she currently is preparing a number of projects for the stage and screen.
