Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - History remembers Catherine Howard as the foolish young queen who lost everything.But history was written by the men who sent her to the scaffold.At the glittering court of Henry VIII, beauty is power, innocence is dangerous, and a whispered secret can become a death sentence. When Catherine captures the attention of England's aging king, she is lifted from an uncertain childhood into a world of silks, jewels, and breathtaking privilege-and crowned Queen of England.But beneath the splendour of the Tudor court lies a far darker truth.A queen is cherished only while she remains useful. The moment her past threatens the ambitions of powerful men, admiration turns to suspicion, loyalty becomes betrayal, and the crown becomes a prison.Haunted by the fate of Anne Boleyn, Catherine refuses to remain the naïve girl everyone believes her to be. Behind her smiles and carefully chosen silences, she begins collecting the secrets of the men who underestimate her. With the unexpected help of Jane Boleyn and Anne of Cleves-two women who understand the deadly cost of surviving Henry VIII-Catherine uncovers a conspiracy stretching from the shadowed corridors of Hampton Court to the very heart of the Privy Council.Soon, accusations of adultery and treason begin closing around her. Friends become informants. Desire becomes evidence. Every memory of her past is twisted into a weapon.With the scaffold drawing nearer, Catherine must make an impossible choice: surrender to the ending history has prepared for her-or turn her enemies' own secrets against them and fight for the life they have already decided to take.Because this time, the condemned queen has evidence.This time, she knows who is truly guilty.And this time, the scaffold may not have the final word.The Rose Behind the Throne is an atmospheric and emotionally charged Tudor historical novel of forbidden desire, royal intrigue, female courage, and dangerous secrets. Reimagining the life of Catherine Howard through a compelling alternate history, it gives one of England's most misunderstood queens the one thing history denied her: the chance to tell her own story-and fight back.Perfect for readers who love forgotten women reclaimed from history, treacherous royal courts, powerful female alliances, forbidden romance, Tudor queens, and richly imagined alternative histories.Discover The Boleyn Crown Chronicles-a sweeping historical fiction series of ambition, passion, betrayal, and the women who refused to disappear beneath the weight of the crown.Each novel can be read as a standalone story.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A distinction is being collapsed - and the cost is paid by children, families, and systems that cannot afford it.Sexual reactive behavior driven by attachment disruption and developmental trauma is not the same clinical phenomenon as sexual offending. The behaviors may look similar from the outside. The pathways, risk profiles, and required responses are not. Treating them as interchangeable mislabels reactive children into frameworks built for predatory risk while allowing genuine offending features to be missed under the same broad language.This volume restores the differential. It names both presentations without softening either, maps the attachment-trauma pathway that produces reactive sexualized behavior, exposes the assessment and system failures that collapse precision under institutional pressure, and delivers matched intervention: structured safety and Level 1 attachment repair when the pathway is reactive; tighter containment, specialized evaluation, and accountability when offending risk is real.Written for the parent handed a catastrophic label, the clinician who must defend accuracy in a staffing or courtroom, the educator responsible for every student in the room, and the system professional trained to report but not always trained to differentiate.Safety is non-negotiable. Accuracy is non-negotiable. You can hold both.The distinction is the intervention.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A surgical strike. A vanished target. A trap designed to catch the hunters.When an SVR operative disappears during a routine high-speed train delay in Brandenburg, BND Agent Felix Kiefer thinks he's looking for a man. He's wrong. He's looking for a pattern.The disappearance wasn't a fluke; it was a masterpiece of technical sabotage. By triggering a precise 'fail-safe' in the German rail network, the Russian intelligence services didn't just create a window for escape-they created a vacuum.Now, the BND's Division 13-the specialists in Cyber and Infrastructure-are tasked with finding the target and the malware known as ABIES. But as the trail leads from the streets of Dresden to the hubs of Hamburg, a terrifying realization sets in.The SVR isn't just hiding. They are conditioning the BND. Every lead, every 'convenient' piece of intelligence, and every digital footprint is a curated gift-a breadcrumb trail designed to lead the agency into a catastrophic mistake.As the intelligence officers struggle to distinguish between genuine data and masterful deception, the line between protection and provocation blurs. If the BND attempts to fight fire with fire, they won't just catch the thief-they might accidentally burn down the entire nation's infrastructure.In this high-stakes techno-thriller, the most dangerous weapon isn't a gun. It's the machine itself.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A master pastry chef is poisoned in front of one hundred and eighty witnesses. Every one of them was watching. Not one of them saw it. A culinary cozy mystery with recipes.Retired opera diva Monique Dubois came to Istanbul to eat, sleep late, and offer opinions on nothing whatsoever.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One glass. Six hundred witnesses. Not one of them saw it poured. A culinary cozy mystery with recipes. Retired opera diva Monique Dubois came to the island of Ischia for four days of a lemon festival, an old friend, and the best view in the Bay of Naples-with her disapproving black cat Kahlusha in her travel basket and no intention of having an opinion about anything.Then Tommaso Terranova takes the first glass of his own limoncello, as a century of tradition demands, before six hundred witnesses. He is dead before the ambulance can reach the piazza.Seventy-one years old. A bad heart. A father who went the same way. The island calls it what it wants to call it, and the festival goes on.But Monique was four metres from the platform, and she saw what nobody else was placed to see. He tasted it. He held it. And he was not surprised.You do not take that long to be certain unless you already suspect something.The wrong man is arrested within a week, and the island exhales-because it is tidy, and because nobody has to look at anybody. Monique begins asking a question that has waited sixty-three years for somebody from outside to ask it.Not who wanted him dead. But what an entire island had agreed-quietly, kindly, and for the best of reasons-never to say out loud.Every one of them was protecting somebody. That was the problem.The Limoncello Legacy is a sun-drenched, dryly witty fair-play mystery about inheritance, silence, and the terrible cost of a kindness kept too long.

Each book stands entirely alone.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - ¿Importa realmente qué día se dedica a Dios ¿Fue el sábado establecido únicamente para el pueblo de Israel ¿Cambió Jesús el día de reposo ¿Comenzaron los apóstoles a guardar el domingo después de la resurrección Estas preguntas han provocado debates durante siglos y, en muchos casos, las respuestas se han apoyado más en la tradición que en un examen cuidadoso de las Escrituras.En ¿Qué día santificó Dios , Johanny Abreu presenta un estudio bíblico e histórico sobre el cuarto mandamiento, desde su origen en la creación hasta su presencia en la vida de Jesús, la experiencia de los apóstoles y el desarrollo posterior de la observancia dominical. El libro también analiza pasajes que suelen utilizarse para afirmar que el sábado fue abolido, entre ellos Romanos 14, Colosenses 2, Gálatas 4, Hebreos 4, Hechos 20 y 1 Corintios 16, procurando que cada explicación surja de su contexto y del conjunto de la enseñanza bíblica.Con un lenguaje cercano y suficientemente profundo, esta obra está dirigida tanto a quien nunca ha estudiado el cuarto mandamiento como a quien conoce sus principales objeciones. Más que promover una discusión religiosa, sus páginas invitan al lector a descubrir el propósito del sábado como recordatorio de la creación, señal de pertenencia, espacio de descanso y expresión de obediencia nacida del amor a Dios.…
