Eine mutige Diebin und eine schicksalhafte Prophezeiung in der Welt der Fae

Die junge Romeria hat ihre Zeit als Straßenkind hinter sich gelassen und sich zur berüchtigtsten Diebin New Yorks hochgearbeitet. Doch als sie unfreiwillig einen Pakt mit einer Magierin schließt, findet sie sich im Kampf zwischen zwei verfeindeten Fae-Königreichen wieder. Romeria schlüpft in den Körper der Faeprinzessin und muss ihre Identität um jeden Preis verbergen. Sie ahnt nicht, dass die Prinzessin kurz zuvor in einem misslungenen Putschversuch das verfeindete Königspaar getötet hat. Ihr attraktiver Verlobter, der frisch gekrönte König Zander, verabscheut sie dafür zutiefst. Zum Glück für Romeria ist sie für ihn lebendig wertvoller als tot. Zander bietet ihr ihre Freiheit im Tausch für ihre Hilfe bei der Aufdeckung der wachsenden Verschwörung an seinem Hofe an. Deshalb spielt Romeria die Rolle der verliebten Prinzessin – und kommt Zander dabei näher, als gut für sie ist. Während sie tiefer in die uralte Fehde vordringt, entdeckt sie ungeheuerliche Wahrheiten, die nicht nur ihren eigenen Untergang bedeuten könnten.

She brought him back from death.
Now he is the one thing she cannot survive losing.

In 1795, in a shadowed city of the Holy Roman Empire, Victoria Frankenstein is invisible: brilliant enough to rival any scientist, yet condemned to silence in a world that forbids women their power.

When her miracle surgeon father falls gravely ill, grief drives her to a heretical act. Beneath candlelight and prayers long abandoned, Victoria stitches life from death and calls a man back into cold flesh and waiting lungs.

What rises from her table is not a monster.

Bound to her by blood, breath, and the terrible intimacy of creation, he belongs to her in ways no living man ever could―and he knows it. He watches her. Learns her. Wants her with a hunger that borders on worship, and a possessiveness that should frighten her.

As desire coils into obsession, Victoria must face the truth she has always feared: being wanted by her creation is a power she cannot control. His devotion is absolute, consuming, and beautiful, and in an empire that burns women for reaching beyond their place, loving him may be the most dangerous act of all.

Because she did not simply give him life. She made herself his reason for living.

And love, once stitched into existence, does not let go.

Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead—and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquished him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom’s faith—and herself—in the process.

But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil’s ticket to undoing Benji’s power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to save it.

The firstborn child of Titans, Styx is revered as the first of her kind – until she is eclipsed and forgotten amid her scores of siblings, the Oceanids and the Potamoi.

Coming of age in a world simmering with paranoia and unspoken fear of Zeus, the volatile and unchecked god-king, Styx learns to conceal the rage ignited by her growing disillusionment with her parents and her vain and unkind siblings. Instead, she finds solace and sisterhood in her cousin, Asteria. Together, they train in the arts of creation and magic. And as they seek to learn their divine purpose and their place within the Titanomachy, they discover both the joy sparked by true love and the fierce resilience birthed from motherhood.

In this lyrical and heartrending tale of sisterhood, identity, love, and war, Styx must carve her own path to womanhood – and ultimately, godhood.
