I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly. But when Molly’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose.

"My name is Rylee, and I am a Tracker." When children go missing, and the Humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot. Bringing my allies together as war approaches is my number one concern. But that means I have to play nice with a vampire who is blackmailing me. If I don’t, I’m screwed and my family is dead. But I don't play nice. And I have a backup plan. Kinda.

So now I’m on the run from his maniacal successor, with a critically wounded vampire prince who needs feeding and the maid who loves him at my side. And I thought the Harvest Games were bad….

Ten years ago, I "died", and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I should have known it wouldn't last. Once my family thought I was dead I was finally free to live. Until the day my brother walks into my tiny book shop....

Die zwei gefährlichsten Wesen der magischen Welt sind hinter mir her – Direktorin Frost und der Shadowkiller. Doch sie sind nicht die einzigen Chamäleons, die um die Vorherrschaft kämpfen. Ich bin eine von ihnen. In einer Welt, in der niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint, habe ich einen Vorteil: Meine Feinde unterschätzen mich.

In eine Akademie für Magier, Monster und Meuchelmörder aufgenommen zu werden, ist nicht gerade meine Vorstellung von höherer Bildung. Aber hier bin ich, verkleidet als mein eigener Bruder, und kämpfe um einen Platz an Shadowspell. Denn wenn ich versage, werden sie meine Familie umbringen. Als bei den gefährlichen Prüfungen auch noch meine Freunde verschwinden, will die Akademie, dass ich sie vergesse und keine Fragen stelle. In einer Welt, in der niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint, gilt die Regel: Vertraue nur dir selbst. Aber mich an Regeln zu halten, war noch nie meine Stärke.

Du wählst nicht die Akademie. Die Akademie wählt dich. Meine Freunde und ich haben die Große Auslese bestanden. Wir sind zur Akademie der Schatten zugelassen. Doch noch bevor wir in unseren Häusern ankommen, wird ein grausames Attentat auf die Schüler verübt. Wer steckt dahinter? Die ehemalige Direktorin Frost, die wir besiegt haben? Eines der Häuser selbst? Oder der geheimnisvolle Shadowkiller? In einer Welt, in der niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint, kann ich mich nur auf eines verlassen: meinen Instinkt. Und vielleicht – vielleicht – auf echte Freunde.

Endlich hat er sich gezeigt: der Shadowkiller. Was führt er im Schilde? Steckt er hinter der geheimnisvollen Krankheit? Und was hat das Haus der Wunder mit all dem zu tun? Zu allem Überfluss wurde ich auch noch von meinen Freunden getrennt. Doch egal, wie weit weg sie auch sein mögen – eine geheimnisvolle Verbindung zwischen uns wird immer stärker... Aber unsere Feinde warten überall, und sie verstecken sich nicht länger. Sogar unsere engsten Verbündeten könnten uns verraten. Wahrscheinlich sollte ich in Deckung gehen und warten, bis der Staub sich gelegt hat.

In eine Akademie für Magier, Monster und Meuchelmörder aufgenommen zu werden, ist nicht gerade meine Vorstellung von höherer Bildung. Aber hier bin ich, verkleidet als mein eigener Bruder, und kämpfe um einen Platz an Shadowspell. Denn wenn ich versage, werden sie meine Familie umbringen. Aber wer meine Familie wirklich ist und welches Erbe in mir schlummert, wird mir erst allmählich klar.

Shadowspell – die magische Akademie lädt ein zur Aufnahmeprüfung. Nicht alle werden sie überleben. Doch eine Anwärterin ist gekommen, um die Akademie mit ihren eigenen Waffen zu schlagen... Der spektakuläre Urban Fantasy Bestseller aus den USA erstmals auf Deutsch! Du wählst nicht die Akademie. Die Akademie wählt dich. Diese Worte haben unser Leben auf den Kopf gestellt. Denn sie sind ein Todesurteil. Mein kleiner Bruder Billy wurde auserwählt, an der Großen Auslese teilzunehmen.

Underhill is my ruthless mother. Her realm is my deadly home. The brutal creatures here are both foe and friend. But the group of fae that just attacked me? They’re all foe. Dragged from my game of hide-and-seek with a dragon and my home of 21 years, I’m thrust into a weak, ugly realm. Earth. Something is taking the fae children of the Irish court, and an Oracle has declared I must find them. Nope. Not my problem. Bye. Except a three-year-old girl they suspect is the next Queen of All Fae was taken too.

You know, dating in your 40s should be easier. Should be. But it really isn’t. My first date in I don’t-know-how-long is broken up by my ex-husband. I mean, he’s dead, but still. Then a cryptic note from a voodoo queen. A siren who can’t keep it in his pants. And a hot fae who seems to be everything I’ve ever wanted. Except that he’s not a certain blacksmith. I can deal, right?

Plucked out of the Collector’s Pens, auctioned off to a vampire contingent, and sent across the ocean to the Alpha Territories was not exactly how I planned to spend my week. Actually, scratch that. I had planned the first bit. But I was supposed to be sold to the werewolves so I could save my friend from a fate worse than death. Instead, the bloodsuckers have me and so far? It's not going great. I've been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games....

The Storm Queen has been defeated. And the first two challenges have been conquered. You’d think that it would be all downhill from here. Well, if it was downhill at warp speed into more trouble, then you’d be absolutely correct. The demon city sits before us, and beyond that lies the castle of Asag, the beast from the east. He has our friends. He has our magic. He has the dragon hatchlings. What have we got? Unexpected allies, a twisted path, and the realization that defeating a demon on his own turf...might not be possible. Does that stop us from trying? Not for a second.

All Bree really wants is to bury her head in the sand somewhere in the south of France while a hot pool boy rubs lotion on her back. Instead, Bree gets blackmailed by the Council of Savannah into a job she doesn’t want—though it does take her to France. They need her to bring a witch back to Savannah for a trial that Bree is sure is a load of hooey. But not just any witch. The first one. The oldest one. The one who makes a T-rex look like he’s howling about a sore tooth.

The magical tea has worn off. My eyes are wide open. And it’s with horror that I realize the fate of two realms rests on my shoulders, after my mother’s ultimate sacrifice. Rubezahl has returned far sooner than I thought possible. And not only that....He has something crucial, if we are to win. He’s taken something I cannot live without. There is no option but to race, and decipher the puzzle, to save the man I love, the friends more important to me than my own life, and humans and fae alike. Two realms. Only I can save them. We’re screwed.

My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father's side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn't going to happen. Taken away by the last Spirit Walker, I am meant to train with him so that I can finally stop the false mother goddess and her plans to rule both humans and elementals. I am meant to train so that I can meet her on even ground, but training takes time.

As an Ender, it is my place to protect the royal family at all costs. Despite being the best Ender our world has ever beheld, I have failed time and again as the personal sacrifices continue to mount. Lark has been banished to the desert by her father who is blind to the manipulation he has again fallen prey to. To bring about justice, I must seek out and destroy the one who intentionally wields her powers to bring pain to my people.
