Last Train From Berlin serves up a surprising and haunting conclusion to the von Renz dynasty, the remarkable Berlin family that readers first came to know in Coach From Warsaw, followed by Night Crossing to Athens. In this final installment of the trilogy ancestral ties and age-old traditions are pitted against a ruthless regime at war. Fighting on the Russian front, Fritz is facing the Soviets and a bloody, bitter winter, while his young family in Berlin tries to survive the constant barrage of devastating bomb attacks. Death, starvation, and Nazi interrogations are daily realities but escape from the city is not an option; the countryside is flooded with desperate refugees. When Lisbet loses her home, she is left with no choice but to take shelter with Dorrit hiding in plain sight from the Nazis and safeguarding a secret that, if known, would become their combined death sentence. Salvation materializes from unexpected quarters. But the price is high. Someone must risk everything. With Herr Hitler's signature on a military deferment in his pocket and believing that he is taking his wife and children out of harm's way, Max abruptly leaves Berlin, driving south toward Turkey and, hopefully, a safe haven at his former archaeological excavation site. Traveling through foreign, hazardous rebel-occupied territory and crossing borders before they close, he forges headlong into a trap, placing his family in mortal danger. Last Train From Berlin is an unforgettable Berlin story with journeys stretching south to Yugoslavia and north to Denmark. Irene Magers once again proves that she is an extraordinary storyteller, sweeping us into a maelstrom of shattered lives set against the backdrop of a burning continent where rules are discarded and survival is bought and sold. In the midst of the madness and deadly chaos, the reader will be profoundly moved and uplifted by the love and self-sacrifice that beats in the human heart at a time when suffering is at its worst.

A New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Hyacinth Bridgerton, in the seventh of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. HYACINTH'S STORY Meet Our Hero . . . Gareth St. Clair is in a bind. His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. Gareth's sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past . . . and the key to his future. The problem is--it's written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word. Meet Our Heroine . . . All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She's fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there's something about her--something charming and vexing--that grabs him and won't quite let go . . . Meet Poor Mr. Mozart . . . Or don't. But rest assured, he's spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual--and annually discordant--Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth's every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simple--or as complicated--as a single, perfect kiss.

Quicksand A Family Foundation begins a family saga in the early 1800's that stretches across France, England, Wales, and eventually America. Deceit, lies, secrets, and character flaws weave their way into the lives of each family member and corrupt the quest for a solid foundation. Joseph and Emma experience love at first sight. He awakens in her dormant lust and unquenchable desire, but their love story is besieged by powerful circumstances beyond her control and his dedication to England and the British Royal Navy. What starts as a romantic journey ends in tragedy. Fate deals the couple a disastrous blow and the irony that follows is so twisted that the next generations suffer the consequences.

The tragedy of war is measured by destruction, death, and heartache. In the end, politicians negotiate, and soldiers come home. But the seldom-discussed tragedy of captivity leaves deep and lasting scars in those who return as well as in their families. Prisoners of war suffer immeasurable humiliation and pain at their captors' hands.

Historically, the mortality rate for American POWs averages 12 percent. The one exception was the POWs held in North Korea from 1950 to 1953; they died at a rate of 42 percent, nearly four times more than any other war. "Letters from a Captive Heart" is not a war story, as little of the tale takes places on the battlefield. It's a story of honor, strength, and heartbreak in the POW camps of North Korea and back home in America's heartland. This historical novel starkly portrays the contrast between the innocence of the early 1950s in rural Kentucky and the horrific reality of the POW camps.

In this moving and poignant saga about the effects of war, we find there is nothing more fragile than a captive's heart and nothing more powerful than its story of survival.
