The Two Destinies by Wilkie Collins audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In The Two Destinies, Wilkie Collins blends domestic drama with eerie mystery to follow a love story tested by distance, illness, and the unsettling sense that unseen forces may be at work. The novel centers on George Germaine, a devoted young man whose life becomes bound to the fate of Mary Dermody, the woman he loves. Their hope of a stable future is complicated by separation and by the fragile health of those around them, and George is drawn into a series of anxious journeys and discoveries as he tries to protect what he cherishes. Along the way, Collins introduces a circle of relatives, friends, and medical authorities whose advice and motives do not always align, forcing George to decide whom to trust. Threaded through the human conflicts is a disturbing question: are the lovers connected by coincidence and psychology, or by a deeper, inexplicable bond that can reach across space and time? As ordinary life gives way to suspicion and wonder, George must confront the possibility that destiny has more than one path and that love may demand a reckoning with the unknown.

The Queen of Hearts by Wilkie Collins audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In a lonely corner of South Wales, three aging brothers have settled into a quiet, rule-bound life at the bleak old Glen Tower - until a visit from their young ward, Jessie Yelverton, turns their household upside down. Spirited, curious, and impossible to ignore, Jessie soon earns (and embraces) her nickname: the Queen of Hearts. But her stay is set to be brief, and the brothers have a private reason to keep her under their roof a little longer: Griffith's son, George, is expected home soon, and his hopes for Jessie depend on time. Their solution is both simple and dangerous - they will hold Jessie night after night with stories. What begins as a domestic comedy of manners becomes a chain of gripping fireside narratives: tales of hidden motives, uncanny warnings, sudden violence, and everyday lives pushed into extraordinary corners. As each storyteller reveals another secret, the frame story tightens too, and Jessie must decide what to believe about the men around her, and what kind of future she will accept.

The Mutiny of the Bounty and other narratives by William Bligh audiobook.

Genre: history

Written by Captain William Bligh, The Mutiny of the Bounty and other narratives presents a first-hand, seafaring account of one of the most famous uprisings in naval history and the perilous journeys that followed. Bligh sets the stage aboard His Majesty's Ship Bounty, sent across the Pacific on a high-stakes mission tied to empire, commerce, and the transport of breadfruit. As months at sea strain supplies, patience, and discipline, Bligh's demanding command style collides with an exhausted crew, and the simmering tensions crystallize around his master, Fletcher Christian. When loyalty fractures, Bligh must confront not only the immediate crisis aboard ship but the larger ordeal of leadership, responsibility, and survival in unforgiving waters. Alongside the central narrative, the accompanying accounts broaden the portrait of exploration-era voyaging: hard choices made far from home, the constant calculation of wind and current, and the thin margin between order and disaster. Stark, practical, and intensely human, these narratives invite listeners into the day-to-day reality of 18th century naval life, where authority is tested and endurance becomes its own form of navigation.
