- Ghislaine Maxwell : the of America's most notorious socialite / by Cawthorne, Nigel,1951-author.;
Ghislaine Maxwell had everything - model looks, connections, charm, a billionaire father, adoring siblings - yet on 2 July 2020 she was arrested by the FBI on multiple underage-sex charges. Find out the breath-taking real story behind the headlines, programs and documentaries. Ghislaine Maxwell's life of privilege was unimaginable. Her world was not only made up of the Clintons, top billionaires, Hollywood stars and, in Australian Katherine Keating, but also of princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses, all as regular friends - including university friend Prince Andrew, the favourite son of the Queen. Yet, she still wanted more. Ghislaine met shadowy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and amassed a fortune of almost 30 million dollars. Her arrest by the FBI in July 2020 - almost a year to the day of Epstein's second arrest on sex charges - proved a stinging fall from grace as 30 million dollars bail was refused. Ghislaine Maxwell leaves no stone unturned and is the first investigation based on all new sources available, including the lawsuit brought by Cairns-based Virginia Giuffre. An explosive true story, Ghislaine Maxwell is a gripping tale of wealth, power, and allegations and counter allegations in a murky tale at the heart of the global jetset.

- The Ragpicker King [electronic resource] : by Clare, Cassandra.aut; CloudLibrary;
In the epic follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Sword Catcher, praised by George R. R. Martin as “everything I look for in fantasy,” Lin and Kel must chart a perilous course between love and lies. ONE OF PASTE’S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE YEAR Kel Saren, body double to Conor, crown prince of the dazzling city of Castellane, is caught between two worlds. In order to protect his beloved prince, Kel must find the culprits responsible for a massacre at the royal palace—and the only clues are held by the Ragpicker King, the notorious criminal who rules Castellane’s underworld. The trail Kel follows leads back to the Hill, where among decadent nobles and glittering parties a dark conspiracy to destroy the royal family has taken hold—a conspiracy headed up by the monstrous Artal Gremont, the man engaged to marry the woman Kel adores. Meanwhile, Lin Caster must face the aftermath of the greatest risk she’s ever taken. To save the life of a dying friend, Lin has falsely claimed to be the Goddess Reborn, the legendary heroine destined to save her people. Now the terrifying—but strangely magnetic—leader of her people has arrived to test her powers. The price of failure is exile, and only through her alliance with the Ragpicker King can she continue to access the magic that may save her. Then Prince Conor reappears in her life, demanding that she use her healing powers to cure the madness of his father, the King. Lin soon realizes the King is gripped by an ancient and terrible magic, one whose lure she cannot deny any more than she can deny her growing passion for Conor. As the simmering tensions in Castellane reach a fever pitch, Lin and Kel must decide who to trust when any false move means death—or worse.

- Birth of a dynasty : a novel / by Bado, Chinaza,author.;
"After witnessing the massacre of everyone he's ever known and loved, M'Kuru Mukundi, the sole surviving member of the High Noble House Mukundi of Madada, vows revenge. M'kuru flees to a small village where he hides under the guise of farm boy Khalil Rausi ... unaware that the real Khalil's father is the bloodthirsty General of Zenzele army, and under the direction of the King's scheming son, Prince Effiom, was responsible for the murder of M'kuru's people. When an imposter claiming to be M'kuru shows up in the village, the real M'kuru-now Khalil-must bide his time amongst his enemies, pretending to be everything that he hates in order to get vengeance. In another part of the country where giants roam free, young Zikora Nnamani, the only daughter of Lord Nnamani, knows nothing of political intrigue-she wants little more than to be a fierce Seh Llinga warrior. But a well-known prophecy places too much potential power on her small shoulders, and-as far as Prince Effiom and the King know-she is the only living threat to their dynasty ruling forever. However, when a messenger arrives to "invite" Zikora to stay at the palace, her family is not in a position to refuse. Before she is taken away, she begins The Rite of Blessing, a magical inheritance that she will need to learn how to use, but that may also bring the world one step closer to the completion of the prophecy that Prince Effiom so fears. Between scheming ladies at court, backstabbing princes on the prowl, and paranoid kings, M'kuru and Zikora must do what they can, no matter how terrible, to save their people and claim vengeance for their families. But they are just two young people against an entire kingdom-and a prophecy destined to thwart their dreams-and the last thing they can do is trust anyone ... even each other"--
