Rachel Gillig - Nederlands - Paperback
Haar grootste droom? Helemaal niet meer dromen Op de hoogste heuvel van heel Traum staat een kathedraal waar zes jonge vrouwen wonen. Namen hebben ze niet alleen nummers. Eén, Twee, Drie, Vier, Vijf en Zes. Zij zijn de Zieneressen van Aisling Cathedral. Door te verdrinken en te ‘dromen’ in de bron in de kathedraal, kunnen ze de toekomst voorspellen. Mensen komen van heinde en verre en betalen goud geld om van een Zieneres te horen wat ze te wachten staat. Zes – oftewel Sybil Delling – droomt ervan om geen dromen te hebben. Soms, als ze alleen is met de andere Zieneressen, fantaseren ze samen over hoe het leven zal zijn als hun aanstelling erop zit. Als ze niet meer hoeven te verdrinken. Niet meer de angst hoeven te doorstaan, de pijn, de misselijkheid. Dan, op een dag, komen de nieuwe koning en zijn ridders naar de heuvel. Een van hen, Rodrick Myndacious, is de meest onbeschofte ridder die Sybil ooit heeft ontmoet. Maar net zoals hij iets van haar nodig heeft, kan zij zijn hulp heel goed gebruiken. Want wanneer de Zieneressen een voor een beginnen te verdwijnen, wil Sybil maar één ding: ze terugvinden. Alleen de goden hebben de antwoorden die ze zoekt, en hoewel ze Rodricks donkere ogen en scherpe tong het liefst vermijdt, weet ze ook dat alleen een ketter een god kan verslaan. ‘De ridder en de nachtvlinder’ is een spannend en romantisch fantasyverhaal van de auteur van ‘Een duister venster’ en ‘Twee verstrengelde kronen’. Het is het eerste deel van de duologie ‘The Stonewater Kingdom’.
Sangu Mandanna - Engels - Hardback
What if love is the best magic of all? A witch has a second chance to get her magical powers – and her life back on track in this feel-good, whimsical new cosy fantasy from the author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Once, Sera Swan was one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her powers, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her Guild.
Now she helps Jasmine run an enchanted inn in Lancashire, where she deals with their quirky guests’ shenanigans and longs for a future that seems lost. Until she finds about an old spell that could restore her power… Enter Luke Larsen, handsome magical historian, who might have the key to unlocking the spell’s secrets. Luke has no interest in the inn’s madcap goings-on, and is even less interested in letting a certain bewitching innkeeper past his walls.
So no one is more surprised than he is when he agrees to help. Running an inn, reclaiming lost power, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover she doesn’t have to do alone – and that love might be the best magic of all.

From the author of the bestselling novel The Wishing Game comes a Narnia-inspired fairy tale for grown-ups who still knock on the back of wardrobe doors … just in case. Once upon a time, two boys went missing in the woods. Six months later, they reappeared, with no explanation for where they’d been or how they’d survived.
Fifteen years on, Rafe is a reclusive artist with no memory of what happened during those months, despite the scars he bears. Meanwhile, Jeremy is a famed missing persons investigator. With his uncanny abilities, he is the one person who can help vet tech Emilie Wendell find her long-lost sister, who vanished in the very same forest as Rafe and Jeremy.
Jeremy also keeps a secret: the fantastical truth about the magical realm they made home for those six months. And it’s there they may find Emilie’s sister. Alongside Emilie, Rafe and Jeremy must return to the enchanted world they left behind – for only then can they get back everything and everyone they’ve lost.

He knows precisely what she is, and he believes she is a lost Siren heiress who can save both their kingdoms from an even greater monster.
But Imogen’s magic threatens to violently reveal itself, and the two form a blood bond that protects them both. They flee the kingdom together, traversing waters teeming with the undead. As the lines between duty to their people and desire for each other begin to blur, Imogen worries her own ancestral powers may not be enough to kill what hunts her-the only way to defeat a monster may be to become one herself.

A rivalry as old as time…
The Hating Game meets Honey and Spice in this sizzling, hilarious and utterly relatable rivals-to-lovers workplace rom-com about surviving – and maybe even thriving – in your twenties.
Maddison Clarke has always lived by tick-lists, schedules, and five-year plans. So, she didn’t foresee being this close to thirty and still:
-
living at home,
-
stuck in an assistant role,
-
and with the closest thing to a committed relationship being her grocery delivery driver.
But when she lands the opportunity to lead on the company’s biggest event to date, Maddison sees a chance to finally get her life back on track.
There’s just one problem: she has to team up with Aiden Edwards – her long-time rival and the infuriatingly handsome bane of her existence.
Aiden’s casual arrogance and complete lack of urgency test Maddison at every turn. So when he promises to walk away if she can give up her beloved notebooks and start living spontaneously, Maddison agrees…
…even if the concept is entirely alien to her.
But as the two are forced closer together, Maddison starts to wonder:
Is this whole dare Aiden’s way of trying to help her rather than ruin her?
And if that’s the case, can they really keep insisting this simmering tension between them is just hate?
Because Maddison’s quarter-life crisis might just be turning into a quarter-love crisis…
…and that was not part of the plan.

Brielle of Thornbrook has dedicated her life to the abbey.
She spends her days forging iron and her evenings studying the Text, all in preparation of becoming an acolyte.
Twenty-one years on this earth and she has never touched a man.
And she never will.
But when she finds an injured stranger in the forest, Brielle can’t resist the urge to help him.
The encounter leads her to the realm of Under, where the air breathes rot, and the fair folk dance and whisper.
Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring.
There are few Brielle can trust in Under — least of all Zephyrus.
He is charming, dangerously so, and never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her.
As she embarks on a journey through the eerie banks and caves of Under, Brielle finds herself in a perilous situation.
For here is where faith and heart collide – and where she risks not only her future… but her life.

Karen Dukess - Engels - Hardback
In this delightfully funny and heartfelt new novel from the author of the “bittersweet page-turner” (The New York Times) The Last Book Party, an American woman travels to the English countryside when she discovers tickets her late mother had purchased for a murder mystery simulation in a small British town. When thirty-four-year-old Cath loses her mostly absentee mother, she is ambivalent. With days of quiet, unassuming routine in Buffalo, New York, Cath consciously avoids the impulsive, thrill-seeking lifestyle that her mother once led.
But when she’s forced to go through her mother’s things one afternoon, Cath is perplexed to find tickets for an upcoming “murder week” in England’s Peak District: a whole town has come together to stage a fake murder mystery to attract tourism to their quaint hamlet. Baffled but helplessly intrigued by her mother’s secret purchase, Cath decides to go on the trip herself—and begins a journey she never could have anticipated. Teaming up with her two cottage-mates, both ardent mystery lovers—Wyatt Green, forty, who works unhappily in his husband’s birding store, and Amity Clark, fifty, a divorced romance writer struggling with her novels—Cath sets about solving the “crime” and begins to unravel shocking truths about her mother along the way.
Amidst a fling—or something more—with the handsome local maker of artisanal gin, Cath and her irresistibly charming fellow sleuths will find this week of fake murder may help them face up to a very real crossroads in their own lives. Witty, wise, and deliciously escapist, Welcome to Murder Week is a fresh, inventive twist on the murder mystery and a touching portrayal of one daughter’s reckoning with her grief, her past—and her own budding sense of adventure.

Na een mislukte klus wordt Clara veroordeeld tot een levenslange gevangenisstraf voor het ontwerpen van tarotkaarten, een zeldzaam talent dat alleen beoefend mag worden door afgestudeerden van Arcana Academy.
Net wanneer het erop lijkt dat haar geluk op is, biedt de raadselachtige schooldirecteur van Arcana Academy, Prins Kaelis, haar een ontsnapping aan tegen betaling. Kaelis gelooft dat Clara hem kan helpen een tarotkaart te stelen en deze te gebruiken om een almachtige kaart te herscheppen die al lang verloren is gegaan. Om haar identiteit te verbergen en haar dichtbij te houden, neemt Kaelis Clara mee naar Arcana Academy, waar hij haar voorstelt als de nieuwste eerstejaarsstudent en zijn toekomstige bruid.
In een wereld van geheime magie en koninklijke intriges, waar één misstap haar dood kan betekenen, ontdekt Clara dat de prins die ze eeuwig dacht te haten misschien niet is wie hij lijkt.

I came here seeking sanctuary. I never meant to fall for the broody single dad next door.

But when I end up living next door to the single dad who just happens to be one of my brother’s best friends, everything changes.

And when danger comes calling, it’s Trace who stands between me and the darkness.

He was the other half of my soul–the mirror to my every dark desire. My destruction, my redemption, my salvation: my Heathcliff.
Cathy Earnshaw’s got the devil inside her–or at least that’s what the small, cultish community she’s spent her whole life trapped inside would say. She can sense death coming, and every loss sends her spiraling into a violent, uncontrollable episode of grief, wailing like a banshee across the swampy forests of the Lowcountry. With a secret as dark as hers, there’s no hope of relief, or escape, or finding someone with a chance of understanding.
Until she meets him.
Heathcliff’s got his own trauma, and a secret just as dangerous as Cathy’s. Stolen as a child, raised by necromancers, he’s the most forbidden sin she could ever imagine…and the most desperately tempting. Violent in his passions, tender in his affection, he feels like the other half of her soul, but even as they claw desperately to be together, the world seems just as determined to keep them apart.
Because it turns out their little Southern community was built long ago on a graveyard of lies…and every cult needs its sacrificial lamb.
An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of Wuthering Heights with a magical twist.

Clara Graysword has survived the underworld of Eclipse City through thievery, luck, and a whole lot of illegal magic.
After a job goes awry, Clara is sentenced to a lifetime in prison for inking tarot cards — a rare power reserved for practitioners at the elite Arcana Academy. Just when it seems her luck has run dry, the academy’s enigmatic headmaster, Prince Kaelis, offers her an escape — for a price.
Kaelis believes that Clara is the perfect tool to help him steal a tarot card from the king and use it to re-create an all-powerful card long lost to time.
In order to conceal her identity and keep her close, Kaelis brings Clara to Arcana Academy, introducing her as the newest first-year student and his bride-to-be.

Sarah Beth Durst - Engels - Hardback
EXCLUSIVE DELUXE EDITION–a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring beautiful blue sprayed edges!
New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst invites you to her new standalone novel nestled on a far-away island brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes, and honeyed love. The hardcover edition features beautiful sprayed edges.
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.
This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes–at least until she’s ready to sail home.
But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to–the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing–causing the death of everything within them–Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.
This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island–and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.
Funny, kind, and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances–to others and to yourself.
