I nominate Ovid, which is the first in this series. It's available both at Amazon US ($4.99 or free with KU) and Amazon UK (£4.99), and also at Kobo UK (also £4.99). It doesn't seem to be available at Kobo US, but hopefully Amazon US will do. :
Thanks for this nomination; I'd never heard of this series. The blurb at Amazon cites the TLS calling it "gripping" and "intellectually stimulating," which is impressive. I'm out of nominations so can't support it, but I'd love to see it nominated and will give it a try in any case - especially as it's also free to read in the KOLL.
