The Mysteries of FRAU MARIA by Artiom Tarasov
  • “The Mysteries of ‘Frau Maria’ is a historical mystery novel based on the true story about the Dutch ship ‘Frau Maria’ which sank in 1771 when carrying antique valuables and paintings by Dutch artists bought under order from Catherine the Great for the Hermitage collection. 238 years later “Frau Maria” is discovered 41 meters under the sea in Finnish territorial waters. Anna Tomilina, the owner of an information agency, is trying to use the discovery to organise a sponsored international PR campaign. Mystical events surrounding this story start happening to Anna’s family. The events in the novel develop simultaneously in two different periods: in the 18th century and nowadays while inter-twisting across time and distance in the most fascinating way. The mysterious girl Anna Belle, who lived in 1771 and the ghost of the Dutch Manor are encouraging and helping Anna Tomilina raise the sunken ship from the bottom. Yet, the centuries-lasting battle between good and evil attempts to destroy all evidence and everyone involved. It is only Anna Belle, the young girl living in a different century, who is able to stand against the ultimate force. Only she can save her beloved Count Shuvalov and Gerrit Braamkamp, her dear grandfather and a famous art collector from death, which was planned by no one other than Baron Natas Reficul. The Baron's name, when read backwards, leaves no doubt to his intentions…The adventures of Anna Belle and Count Andrei Shuvalov continue in the 18th century in Holland and the Baltic Sea, as well as in Heaven and Hell – their paths are connected with their eternal love. The mystery of Frau Maria is about to be solved by Anna Tomilina and her husband Rinat, who witness strange and spooky events occurring in their lives from the first day when they bought the ruined manor of Vice-Admiral Braamkamp near St. Petersburg.

Preordained (Preodrained Series #1) by Kelly Libsack
  • Left alone in this world when her father dies, eighteen-year-old Faith Beshert learns that he took an ancient truth to his grave, a truth that would have explained the history of her bloodline and the role it plays in a wager between God and Satan.  
  • Faith isn't spiritual or religious. In-fact she doesn't believe in any of it. However, when two angels disguised as gorgeous young men enter her life and steal her heart, she's exposed to the existence of the other side and a responsibility she's meant to fulfill.
