Camille Ellis is the Earthen Conclave's golden girl. Her peculiar talent solves cases with a touch. She isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty, but every bright star casts a shadow, and her deepest scars lurk just beneath the skin. A routine consultation goes sideways when a victim's brother gets involved in the investigation. Riding the edge of grief, the warg will go to any lengths to avenge his sister's death. Even if it means ensuring Cam's cooperation at the jaws of his wolf.

Camille Ellis has tracked many killers during her career, but this time it's personal. Cut off from conclave resources, she won't let a small thing like a suspension keep her from accepting Cord Graeson's offer of help. Pretending to be mated to him is one way to secure allies, but the best that can be said of the Chandler Pack is they haven't killed or eaten her.

Camille Ellis has gone rogue agent, and there's no turning back now. The conclave might have put the Charybdis case to bed, but Cam isn't willing to let it lie. No badge doesn't mean no backup these days. As mate to an alpha warg, she has access to new and lethal resources. A whole pack full of them. And they all want justice for the sins committed against them. But the stakes are higher than she knows, the secrets exposed darker than she feared, and the cost of winning higher than she ever imagined.

War is a constant threat on Dell Preston's horizon. As beta of the Lorimar pack, her job is to maintain the peace on the new border between Faerie and Earth at all costs. Even if that means playing nice with her ex, Isaac, the fae who savaged her wolf's soul, and Enzo Garza, the flirty witch who ought to be focused on building up their magical defenses instead of tearing down the walls around Dell's heart.

Oram's journey from average Joe to hero begins when he's transported into his favorite game. Lucky for him, he still has access to his Early Backer class, the Phylomancer, a mage class that learns spells and abilities by binding others to him. To become a master of the fantasy world of Aerda, Oram will need to embrace his role as a Phylomancer. Along the way, he will forge powerful bonds with his companions, a beautiful Elven Ranger, a fierce Priestess of the icy North, and a deadly and seductive Demon Assassin.

Out of the smoldering ruins of the war in heaven Archangels Raphael and Michael cannot believe the agreement made between God and his morning star, Lucifer. Unwilling to either destroy the fallen angel or leave him with a free hand upon the world, God sets in motion a struggle that will span the millennia from creation to present day. Two Sentinels are invested with the ability to bend the laws of creation to their will and each represents the primal forces of order and chaos.

Every year when the deep cold of winter sets in, unbeknownst to humanity, dangerous visitors arrive from another world. Disguised as humans, the Nafikh move among us in secret, hungry for tastes of this existence. Their fickle, often-violent needs must be accommodated at all times, and the price of keeping them satisfied is paid most heavily by servs.

"Siamo onesti! Chi non vorrebbe lasciare una traccia del suo passaggio su questa Terra?" Forse nessuno, tantomeno quegli uomini tenaci che siano riusciti a penetrare i segreti più potenti e pericolosi che gli antichi Sapienti avevano celato al mondo, a ragion veduta, col potere dei simboli e dell’Alchimia. E certamente non il prof. Balthasar Hopp, il solo ad aver decifrato un raro manoscritto di Ermete che rivela come riscrivere la storia dell’umanità e cambiare i destini del mondo!

"Maître, Ihr seid der Mächtigste hier, aber Sebastien wird noch tausendmal mächtiger als Ihr." Nach dem Tod seiner Mutter litt Sebastien de Beauvais unter seinem Stiefvater und entkam nur knapp dem Tod. Heute sollte er einer der mächtigsten Hexer der Welt sein, doch seine Kräfte schwinden und er ist auf einen Trank angewiesen, der seine Magie auflädt - oder auf Alex, deren Gegenwart dasselbe bewirkt. Ausgerechnet die Frau, die Gefühle liest, anstatt sie zu fühlen, lockt in ihm Emotionen hervor, die bei seiner Berufung ausgelöscht wurden.

Aufgrund ihrer schwachen Hexenkräfte ist Juna eigentlich von dem Ereignis ausgeschlossen, doch die Magie der Insel hat andere Pläne mit ihr. Sie wird in das Turnier hineingezogen und erweckt damit eine alte Fehde zwischen den Hexenfamilien zu neuem Leben. Und während sie sich gegen das Schicksal behaupten muss, lässt ausgerechnet der Mondhexer Koray, einer ihrer Rivalen, Junas Herz ungewollt höherschlagen.

Scozia. Promesse di successo, di lavoro e di risposte, aiuto per una fuga: così uno sconosciuto convince un'aspirante cantante, un marinaio, una studentessa e un rampollo ricoverato in una clinica psichiatrica, a seguirlo su un'isola che è ovunque e in nessun luogo: OgniDove. Là Aisha, Dean, Aurora e Duncan scopriranno il vero motivo per il quale sono stati condotti con l'inganno ai margini del mondo: la storia è incompleta.

Seit Äonen trachten dunkle Mächte nach der Eroberung der Welt. Vor einhundert Jahren starben die letzten beiden Protagonisten dieser unheilvollen Entwicklung. Doch nun kehren sie zurück und setzen ihr zerstörerisches Werk fort: mitten in London. Sie kämpfen nicht nur gegen die Menschheit, sondern auch gegeneinander in: Dracula versus Frankenstein. Duell der Giganten.

Aluna, una bruja que vive en la serenidad de su vieja casa en el pueblo de El Santuario, se ve obligada a viajar a La Civilización para investigar la misteriosa desaparición de su padre y chamán, Daniel Jolugo. Juntos recorrerán los confines de la esperanza, cómplices de un trayecto que oscila entre lo espiritual y lo político, entre la sombra de sus más profundos secretos y la luz del fuego que durante siglos permaneció oculto.

Algo oscuro pasea desde hace décadas por los pasillos de la casa Cavendish. La gente que ha visitado la mansión habla de ruidos, golpes, voces susurradas, pasos que no proceden de ningún sitio... Algunos cuentan que vieron sombras o que les pareció vislumbrar una figura a lo lejos, alguien escondido que les observaba... Otros sólo se atreven a comentar que sintieron un frío repentino, un aroma a flores muertas, una atmósfera opresiva que les impulsó a huir para no regresar. Sea como sea, todos saben que allí acecha algo oscuro, tenebroso y maldito.

Est-ce que j'ai touché le fond ? Je suis au chômage technique, obligée de jouer les colocs avec ma mère et les centaures alors que ni Wayne ni la magie n'ont refait surface. Les Hextrémistes nous traquent, la juridiction fait la sourde oreille… et accessoirement, Bell, ma traîtresse de sœur, me saute à la gorge dès qu'elle en a l'occasion. Mais tout va changer, j'en fais le serment. Je ne peux faire confiance à personne ? Tant pis. Les Containers ont besoin de moi, et même si je dois passer maître dans l'art des manipulations, j'obtiendrai ce dont mon quartier a besoin.

Harrison dice di essere stato, un tempo, il Piccolo Eroe di Dunnsmouth, il Detective dei Mostri, ma ora che ha più di trent'anni passa la maggior parte del suo tempo a ingurgitare pillole senza mai dormire. Stan, a quanto pare, anni prima ha goduto di una certa notorietà dopo essere stato quasi divorato da un gruppo di cannibali. Barbara invece è ossessionata dai messaggi che l'Intagliatore le ha inciso sulle ossa e che non ha mai potuto leggere.

Matti Puletasi finally has the chance to confront those who kidnapped her parents, and she’ll do it with Sarrlevi, the elf assassin she’s come to love, at her side.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Mistaken identities, a human in a magical world, and three sexy warlocks. Sounds like the start of a joke, but nope.

Matti would prefer never to see her vindictive dwarven aunt ever again. All she wants is to find her missing parents. But her aunt is extorting the elven assassin, Sarrlevi. That would be problematic on its own, but he’s become Matti’s biggest ally and the man—the elf—she’s falling in love with.
