So he takes Will on as a man-at-arms for the worst job in England—guarding the deposed king. Will's fondness for making friends in the tavern and for the occasional company of barmaids runs contrary to Guy's personal code of honor-devotion to God and king. But the young man is a competent soldier and well-liked, so Guy settles for the occasional, public admonishment to keep the others from going down what he considers Will's path of dissolution.

The three lords of Dublin are on the hunt for women of her kind. Thrain Mordsson, youngest of the three and bent on a personal vendetta, doesn't take much stock in the ancient prophecies. He marches into battle for the glory rather than the spoils.

Story
Ein stinkender Keller voll Schlafender und ein fluchender Mann mit Dreispitz - Henry Ingram traut seinen Augen nicht, als er nach einem heftigen Rausch zu sich kommt. Nur langsam begreift er das Unglaubliche: Er wurde um dreihundert Jahre in der Zeit zurückversetzt, mitten hinein ins London des 18. Jahrhunderts, ein London der Ganoven und Diebe. Unfreiwillig hilft er beim Ausbruch des Räuberhauptmanns Jack Sheppard aus dem berüchtigten Newgate-Gefängnis - und wird so selbst zum gejagten Gesetzlosen.

These 12 audiobooks, perfect for the longer nights, colder weather and the Halloween season, tell the stories of women through history, from goddesses to regular women, through a mix of horror, fantasy and historical fiction.
