SOME ANGELS ARE DESTINED TO FALL.

Instant. Intense. Weirdly familiar . . .

The moment Luce looks at Daniel she knows she has never felt like this before. Except she can't shake the feeling that she has . . . and with him - a boy she doesn't remember ever setting eyes on.

Will her attempt to find out why enlighten her - or destroy her?

Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic. Fallen is a thrilling story about forbidden love.

In Strasbourg, in the boiling hot summer of 1518, a plague strikes the women of the city. First it is just one – a lone figure, dancing in the main square – but she is joined by more and more and the city authorities declare an emergency. Musicians will be brought in. The devil will be danced out of these women.

Just beyond the city’s limits, pregnant Lisbet lives with her mother-in-law and husband, tending the bees that are their livelihood. Her best friend Ida visits regularly and Lisbet is so looking forward to sharing life and motherhood with her. And then, just as the first woman begins to dance in the city, Lisbet’s sister-in-law Nethe returns from six years’ penance in the mountains for an unknown crime. No one – not even Ida – will tell Lisbet what Nethe did all those years ago, and Nethe herself will not speak a word about it.

It is the beginning of a few weeks that will change everything for Lisbet – her understanding of what it is to love and be loved, and her determination to survive at all costs for the baby she is carrying. Lisbet and Nethe and Ida soon find themselves pushing at the boundaries of their existence – but they’re dancing to a dangerous tune . . .

Ein Agoraphobiker verlässt nach Jahren doch seine Wohnung, weil ihm ein Geistermädchen bei der Suche nach einem verschollenen Freund hilft. Auf dem Parkplatz eines Feinschmeckerrestaurants angekommen, überschlagen sich die Ereignisse und aus dem Viertel wird ein Ort des Wahnsinns.

Denn ein Zwerg und ein Pirat überfallen gerade jetzt dieses Lokal, wo der örtliche Pate diniert. Ein Gothic-Girl und die Vogelscheuche sind ebenfalls da. Eine Ex-Polizistin will sich mit den Erpressern ihres Chefs treffen. Ein obdachloser Flaschensammler, ein mysteriöser Auftragskiller und noch andere skurrile, ausgeflippte und undurchsichtige Gestalten tauchen ebenso auf, wie die toten Kinder aus dem Nebel und der Schatten eines nie gefassten Serienkillers.

Keiner von ihnen ahnt, dass ihr Zusammenprall erst der Auftakt für weitaus monströsere Ereignisse ist, die über die »Nebelgrenze« (Teil 2) in den »Spiegelgrund« (Teil 3) führen.

Ein brüllend komischer, hochspannender Mix, aus Thriller, Mystery, Geisterschocker und Komödie.

'I don't choose him. Not anymore. I'm choosing me.'

I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out . . . Until I realized it was about keeping me in.
Midas made me forbidden and weak. Little did he know that I would find my wings and voice - which sings now.
After living amongst the terrifying army of Fourth Kingdom, I find myself, once again, in strange lands and a kingdom surrounded by liars.
But something has ignited within me. Something dark. Something angry.

Then comes King Ravinger.
And the last thing I wanted was my heart to be torn.
Can I really fall in love when the cities around me threaten to crumble and my fate hangs in the balance?

One thing is for sure, I won't be caught in a cage again.
No, this time, it'll be me setting the trap.

Two elven sisters become imprisoned in the hidden world of the fae where danger, and love, lies in wait. Faebound is the first book in an enchanting new trilogy from the internationally bestselling author of The Final Strife.

A thousand years ago, the world held three beings: fae, elves, and humans. But now the fae and humans exist only in myth and legend, survived by the elves who are trapped in an endless war over the remaining lands.

Yeeran is a colonel in the elven army and has known nothing but a life of violence and hardship. Her sister, Lettle, is a diviner whose magic promises a different future for her and her sister, but the prophecies have yet come to pass.

When a fatal mistake leads to Yeeran’s exile from the Elven Lands, Lettle, fearful for her sister’s life, follows her into the uncharted territory beyond their borders. In the wilderness the sisters encounter the largest obeah they have ever seen. Part leopard, part stag, the obeah’s magic is harnessed to make weapons for the elven war. It is during this hunt that they are confronted with the impossible: a group of fae who take them captive. Imprisoned in a new land, they must navigate the politics of the fae court all while planning their escape.

Now Yeeran and Lettle are fighting a different kind of war: between their loyalty to their elven homeland and the intoxicating world of the fae, between what duty decrees is right, and what their hearts tell them they need.
