Epic Reads Incoming – Week 6-7 | Book Haul 2026

Nachdem ich in den jeweils letzten beiden Book Haul Beiträgen mit jeweils 6 Neuzugängen an den Start gegangen bin, hab ich dieses mal nur 5 Bücher dabei und darüber bin ich sehr froh.

Die ersten beiden Bände der The Wolf King -Trilogie waren Spontankäufe bzw. Vorbestellungen, genauso verhält es sich auch mit Rejected von Jaymin Eve. Hier wird im Laufe des Monats allerdings auch noch der zweite Band bei mir einziehen.
Brimstone hat mir letztes Jahr so gut gefallen, als ich es gelesen habe, dass ich es nun auch noch einmal höre. Ich mag auch die Stimmen von den beiden Sprechern Anthony Palmini und Stella Bloom sehr gerne.
Pompeii – The Life of a Roman Town hatte ich schon eine ganze Weile auf der WuLi und bei Waterstones war das Buch kurz im Angebot und dadurch sogar inkl. Versand günstiger als hier.

My father made a terrible mistake. One I’m left paying for.

As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labeled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.

When I can’t take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don’t like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift…a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

After all, no one ever rejects their true mate, right?

Wrong. Very wrong.

When the wolves attack, my soul screams for vengeance, and somehow I touch the shadow realm… Somehow the Shadow Beast hears my call and our shifter god, the devil himself, arrives in our world.

Turns out being rejected by my mate was only the beginning.

Duty. Blood. Honour. Power.

Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders.

Her ward - and her brother - need her back in her homeland . . . but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead . . .

'Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all seven Gods, do NOT crack any jokes.'

Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner of horrors, but travelling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City. Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate again.

A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and brimstone to save them.

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?


Pompeii - The Life of a Roman TownPompeii - The Life of a Roman Town by Mary Beard

The ruins of Pompeii, buried by an explosion of Vesuvius in 79 CE, offer the best evidence we have of everyday life in the Roman empire. This remarkable book rises to the challenge of making sense of those remains, as well as exploding many myths: the very date of the eruption, probably a few months later than usually thought; or the hygiene of the baths which must have been hotbeds of germs; or the legendary number of brothels, most likely only one; or the massive death count, maybe less than ten per cent of the population.

An extraordinary and involving portrait of an ancient town, its life and its continuing re-discovery, by Britain's favourite classicist.

Aurora is caught between powerful alphas as they fight for the Wolf Throne. But darker forces are rising. . .

The highly anticipated sequel to The Wolf King. Pre-order now!

Aurora may have survived the Wolf King. But his bite marks her skin, and in accordance with Wolf Law, that makes her his property. Now, he wants her back.

To beat him and take his throne, Aurora and Callum must form a dangerous alliance with one of the most feared Wolves in the Kingdom, Blake. He is their enemy, but he has entangled his life with Aurora’s—meaning she cannot harm him without forfeiting her own life.

As she fights to break their connection, she suspects Blake is keeping secrets about a dark power that rises in the north, and the unsettling nature of the bond between them. It seems there is a bigger game at play than who sits on the Wolf Throne—one that threatens both the Kingdom of Wolves, and the Kingdom of Men.

With her wolf awakening, enemies closing in, relationships tested, and secrets revealed—Aurora may be the only one who can stop an ancient evil from rising.

If she can figure out who to trust.

If she can figure out where she, and her heart, belong.

If she can stay alive.

The highly anticipated sequel to The Wolf King. A romantasy for fans of enemies to lovers, shifters, forbidden romance, villains you love to hate (or maybe just love!), and werewolves. Contains strong language and sexual situations.
