10 Titel mit einem Adelstitel | Top Ten Thursday №187

Von Königen, Königinnen und anderem Hochadel 👑

Beim heutigen Top Ten Thursday wird es royal, denn gesucht sind 10 Buchtitel, in denen ein Adelstitel vorkommt. Für mich als Fantasy-Leserin war das glücklicherweise eine Aufgabe, bei der ich nicht allzu tief in meinen Bücherregalen graben musste. Könige, Königinnen, Prinzen und andere Hochwohlgeborene tummeln sich dort schließlich reichlich.

Meine Auswahl wird vor allem von Kings und Queens regiert, doch auch eine Empress, eine Lady und zwei Princes haben sich ihren Platz auf meiner Liste gesichert. Und natürlich wäre es keine typische Auswahl von mir, wenn zwischen all dem Adel nicht auch ein wenig Dunkelheit, Verrat, Magie und vermutlich die eine oder andere fragwürdige Thronfolge lauern würde. 👑⚔️

Also Krönchen gerichtet und Hofknicks vorbereitet: Hier kommen meine 10 Titel mit einem Adelstitel!

Der Top Ten Thursday wird gehostet von Aleshanee auf ihrem Blog Weltenwanderer.

When war erupts between humans and werewolves, a princess finds herself torn between duty and desire.

On the eve of her wedding, Princess Aurora spares the life of a young werewolf at a brutal dog fight, catching the eye of a powerful alpha, Callum.

That night, the alpha escapes and kidnaps Aurora, whisking her away to the rugged lands north of the border, where the once-warring Wolf clans are beginning to unite. Callum believes she is the key to their victory against the humans.

As they send time together, a forbidden attraction starts to grow. Just when Aurora learns not all Wolves are bad, Callum discovers that she is in danger from both his enemies and those he once considered friends.

With monsters on both sides and a bloodthirsty war between humans and Wolves raging, will their story end in love or tragedy? And will Aurora ever get home?

Does she even want to?

HOUSE OF THE AZALEA, WHERE THORN MEETS BUD;
BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER, BLOOD FORGETS BLOOD.

Young rice farmer Yin Wei was forced to become concubine to Prince Guan Terren—a monstrous wielder of poetry magic, and heir to the Azalea throne—to save her family from the famine blighting the land of Tensha.

Now confined to the imperial court, Terren's cruelty is not the only danger Wei faces. He and his honourable older brother are locked in a deadly succession war, while Terren's thirty concubines are fighting a war of their own, for the position of future empress.

To survive, Wei must harden her heart, rely on her wit, and become dangerous herself—even if it means learning the one forbidden poem that can kill Terren and save bother herself and her nation.

But there's a problem—for the spell to work against a man she hates, it must be written with love.

My Lady Jane

Brodi Ashton, Cythia Hand, Jodi Meadows

Was mich bei My Lady Jane wirklich erwartet kann ich nicht sagen. Historische Bücher sind ja eher weniger mein Geschmack. Dann noch gepaart mit Humor? Mal schauen, ob das Buch meinen Treffen kann.

Die komische, fantastische, romantische, völlig wahre Geschichte von Lady Jane Grey! Okay … nicht wirklich.

EDWARD ist der König von England. Doch er liegt auch im Sterben, was ungünstig ist, da er erst sechzehn ist und viel lieber seinen ersten Kuss planen würde, als darüber nachzudenken, wer einmal seine Krone erben wird.

JANE ist Edwards Cousine und viel mehr an Büchern als an Romantik interessiert. Zu Janes Unglück hat Edward ihre Hochzeit arrangiert, um die Thronfolge zu sichern. Allerdings ist an ihrem Verlobten etwas seltsam …

GIFFORD ist ein Pferd. Das heißt, er ist ein Eðian (eth-y-un, für die Uneingeweihten). Jeden Tag bei Tagesanbruch wird er zu einem edlen Hengst, doch dann – bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit – wacht er stets mit einem Mund voller Heu auf. Das ist alles sehr würdelos!

ABER SO RICHTIG ZUR SACHE GEHT ES, als Edward, Jane und G in eine gefährliche Verschwörung hineingezogen werden. Da das Schicksal des Königreichs auf dem Spiel steht, müssen unsere Helden selbst ein paar Verschwörungen anzetteln. Aber können sie ihren Plan durchziehen, bevor sie noch ihren Kopf verlieren?

In the second installment of New York Times bestselling author Hannah Whitten's lush, romantic epic fantasy series, a young woman who can raise the dead must navigate the dangerous and glamorous world of the Sainted King's royal court.

The corrupt king August is dead. Prince Bastian has seized the throne and raised Lore—a necromancer and former smuggler—to his right hand side. Together they plan to cut out the rot from the heart of the sainted court and help the people of Dellaire. But not everyone is happy with the changes. The nobles are sowing dissent, the Kyrithean Empire is beating down their door, and Lore's old allies are pulling away. Even Prince Bastian's changed. No longer the hopeful, rakish, charismatic man Lore knows and loves, instead he's reckless, domineering and cold.

And something's been whispering in her ear. A voice, dark and haunting, that's telling her there's more to the story than she knows and more to her power than she can even imagine. A truth buried deep that could change everything.

With Bastian's coronation fast approaching and enemies whispering on all sides, Lore must figure out how to protect herself, her prince, and her country before they all come crumbling down and whatever dark power has been creeping through the catacombs is unleashed.

In the second novel of the heart-pounding Bridge Kingdom series, one woman fights to win back her throne, her people, and the love of the man she betrayed.

A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter.

And it is bait she fully intends to take.

Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father's clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she's trying to free—the husband she betrayed.

With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who—and what—she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.

In the thrilling conclusion to the “deftly and originally executed” (Booklist) New York Times bestselling trilogy, Vaelin Al Sorna must help his Queen reclaim her Realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered…

“The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe or murder committed at the behest of a dark vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task.”

After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant—those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark—and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep.

Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail—a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent…

Iraya, her revenge taken and magic unfettered, turns her sights on a bigger goal: freeing Aiyca for the Obeah. But first she must shed the guise of the rogue warrior and become the Lost Empress her people need.

Jazmyne has crowned herself the doyenne and is prepared to go to extreme lengths—and court ruthless danger—to prove to her people she deserves the throne.

But there is more at stake than Jazmyne or Iraya know: a new threat is awakening on the other side of the island that could destroy everything they’ve been fighting for.

Trust is scarce, and betrayal a breath away. But Iraya and Jazmine once again find themselves turning to each other—after all, better the witch you know than the nightmare you don’t.

Diesen Einzelband habe ich mal über Illumicrate erhalten. Bisher habe ich mich vor dem Werk gescheut, da die Autorin eher für ihre Science Fiction – Geschichten bekannt ist. Aber da ich davon nirgend etwas lesen konnte, werde ich auch irgendwann zu Witch King greifen. Allerdings ist es aktuell auf dem SuB nicht sehr weit oben.

Kai's having a long day in Martha Wells' Witch King....

After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.

But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?

Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.

He’s not going to like the answers.
