The Stolen Heir
Verschijningsdatum: 03-01-2023
A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.
Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.
Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world, where she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag Bogdana chases her through the night streets.
Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful and manipulative. He’s on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help.
But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she had left behind.

Emilia en haar tweelingzus Vittoria zin streghe – heksen die in het geheim tussen de mensen leven. Op een avond komt Vittoria niet voor haar dienst in het Siciliaanse restaurant van haar ouders opdagen en besluit Emilia op onderzoek uit te gaan. Het spoor brengt haar naar het plaatselijke klooster, waar ze haar zus dood aantreft, onvoorstelbaar toegetakeld. Verzwolgen door woede en verdriet besluit Emilia de moordenaar van haar zus te vinden en wraak te nemen. Zelfs als dat betekent dat ze de duisterste magie moet gebruiken, die volgens haar familie verboden is.
Dan ontmoet ze Toorn, een van de zeven Prinsen van Zonden uit de hel. Jarenlang heeft Emilia’s grootmoeder haar via sprookjes gewaarschuwd voor deze machtige heersers uit de onderwereld. Maar Toorn beweert dat hij aan Emilia’s kant staat. Ook hij is namelijk op zoek naar de moordenaar die verantwoordelijk is voor zowel de moord op Vittoria als de dood van twee andere vrouwen in Italië. Emilia besluit zijn hulp te accepteren… Voor nu, want als het op de Prinsen van Zonden aankomt, is niets wat het lijkt.

Verschijningsdatum: 17-01-2023
Het laatste deel in deze heerlijk romantische prequelserie over de buren van de Bridgertons
Georgiana Bridgerton is niet tégen het idee van een huwelijk, ze had gewoon gedacht dat ze er iets meer over te zeggen zou hebben. Als haar reputatie aan een zijden draadje hangt nadat ze is ontvoerd en in ruil voor haar bruidsschat pas wordt vrijgelaten, heeft Georgie twee opties: haar leven leiden als oude vrijster of trouwen met de schurk die haar leven heeft verwoest.
Maar er is nog een derde optie.
Als vierde zoon van een graaf is Nicholas Rokesby van plan zijn eigen koers te bepalen. Hij heeft een leven in Edinburgh, waar hij op het punt staat zijn medische studie af te ronden, en hij heeft geen interesse in het vinden van een vrouw. Maar wanneer hij ontdekt dat Georgie Bridgerton – zijn buurmeisje – de ondergang tegemoet gaat, weet hij wat hem te doen staat: een verstandshuwelijk. Een veilige optie, want ze zouden elkaar nooit kunnen zien als iets anders dan jeugdvrienden… toch?
The Wicked in Me
Verschijningsdatum: 12-01-2023
No one really knows what they are. Only that they’re the first civilization. Aeons, they call themselves.
They’re immortal. Powerful. Secretive.
And they’ll come for her.
Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain.
Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they’re struggling to stop. Needing safety, she flees to Devil’s Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies.
A place ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons. Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy – who, on another note, wants her in his bed.
There’s a heavy price for the safety the Ancients offer, but Wynter will have to pay it. She can’t take on the Aeons alone.
And she has no intention of dying – been there, done that.
Not that she’ll be the easy prey the Aeons are expecting. They have no knowledge of the … thing that lives inside her.
You see, when witches are brought back from the afterlife, they don’t always come back the same.
And they don’t always come back alone.
