Readers will feel as if they’ve stepped right into Pixie Hollow.”—Sasha Peyton Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Witch Haven It’s been centuries since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen lands, Clarion, can’t help being intrigued by Winter’s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court’s seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away. That is, until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring make their way to the palace. Clarion sees defeating this threat as an opportunity to prove that she is worthy of her new role. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together.

In diesem Fantasy-Abenteuer der New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Allison Saft muss eine junge Feenkönigin voller Magie und Romantik verbotene Verbindung eingehen oder riskieren, dass eine unaussprechliche Gefahr alles zerstört, was ihr lieb und teuer ist. Es ist Jahrhunderte her, dass eine Fee aus Pixie Hollow den Winterwald betreten hat, und während die meisten die Legenden die Monster fürchten, die in den eisigen Landen lauern, kann Clarion nicht anders, als von der stoischen Schönheit des Winters fasziniert zu sein. Doch unter den wachsamen Augen des amtierenden Monarchen und der saisonalen Minister des Hofes hat Clarion wenig Zeit für Tagträume, während die Tage bis zu ihrer Krönung immer kürzer werden. Dann treffen Berichte über ein Monster ein, das vom Winter in den Frühling übergeht, um den Weg zum Palast finden. Clarion sieht den Sieg über diese Bedrohung als Gelegenheit, zu beweisen, dass sie ihrer neuen Rolle würdig ist. Doch anstatt ein Monster am Rande des Winters zu finden, trifft sie auf Milori, einen jungen Wächter des Winterwaldes. Gemeinsam gehen sie eine ganz besondere Verbindung ein, während sie um die Rettung ihres Landes kämpfen. Doch schon bald entdecken sie, dass es einen Grund gibt, warum eine Warmzeitfee und eine Winterfee nicht zusammen sein dürfen. Und der Preis dafür könnte genauso tödlich sein wie die Monster, die durch die Winterwälder streifen.

Antes de ser la reina de la tierra de las hadas, fue una joven hada que tuvo que elegir entre el deber y su corazón… Hace siglos que un hada cálida no cruza hacia el Bosque del Invierno. Y, aunque la mayoría teme a las leyendas sobre los monstruos que acechan en esas tierras heladas, Clarion no puede evitar sentirse fascinada por la estoica belleza del invierno. Sin embargo, bajo la atenta mirada de la monarca actual y los ministros estacionales de la corte, Clarion tiene poco tiempo para perderse en ensoñaciones mientras los días hasta su coronación vuelan. Eso cambia cuando llegan informes al palacio sobre un monstruo que ha cruzado del invierno a la primavera. Clarion cree que derrotar esta amenaza le dará la oportunidad de demostrar que es digna de su nuevo rol. Pero en el límite del invierno, en lugar de encontrar un monstruo encuentra a Milori, el joven custodio del Bosque del Invierno. Juntos, forman un vínculo inesperado mientras luchan por salvar sus tierras. A medida que su alianza se transforma en algo más profundo, descubrirán la razón por la cual un hada cálida y un habitante del invierno no pueden estar juntos. Y que hacerlo podría ser tan letal como los monstruos que acechan en el Bosque del Invierno. “Una aventura fantástica efervescente y magníficamente construida. Alas de estrella es tan romántica como electrizante”. Elizabeth Lim, autora de La promesa del dragón

Au royaume du Brunnestaad, pays d’eaux profondes hantées par d’étranges créatures, Lorelei Kaskel, issue d’une communauté marginalisée, cherche à s’émanciper grâce à ses études de folkloriste. Lorsque le roi ordonne une expédition afin de découvrir la légendaire source de toute magie, elle y voit la chance de faire ses preuves et de réaliser son rêve le plus fou : devenir naturaliste, libre de voyager dans les contrées qu’elle ne connaît que par les livres. Elle part donc en compagnie de cinq autres étudiants, autant de nobles arrogants qui lui vouent un mépris teinté de méfiance. Mais à peine le voyage commencé, se produit un crime politique dont l’auteur se cache parmi les passagers. Pire encore, Lorelei est contrainte de faire équipe avec la personne qui l’insupporte le plus au monde : sa brillante et trop belle rivale, Sylvia von Wolff, pour laquelle elle éprouve une haine aussi vive qu’ambiguë. Lorelei doit trouver la source avant que l’assassin frappe encore – et entraîne un possible coup d’État. Or, bien d’autres dangers guettent : des forêts qui changent la nuit, des dragons qui sommeillent sous les fleuves… et en enquêtant sur le meurtre, Lorelei et Sylvia découvrent d’impossibles secrets. Des secrets qui amènent Lorelei à se demander si le royaume mérite d’être sauvé… « Un véritable chant de sirène, envoûtant et imaginatif.

Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring. The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to harness in order to secure his reign over the embattled country of Brunnestaad. Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and make her wildest, most impossible dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to lands she’s only read about. The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader–Lorelei’s beloved mentor–is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are the five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before the murderer strikes again–and a coup begins in earnest. But there are other dangers lurking in the dark: forests that rearrange themselves at night, rivers with slumbering dragons hiding beneath the water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood. As Lorelei and Sylvia grudgingly work together to uncover the truth–and resist their growing feelings for each other–they discover that their leader had secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice is worth pursuing, and if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

Descubra as origens do romance entre a rainha do Refúgio das Fadas e o senhor do Bosque do Inverno Séculos se passaram desde a última vez que uma fada das estações quentes no Refúgio das Fadas cruzou a fronteira para o Bosque do Inverno, e enquanto a maioria teme as lendas de monstros espreitando nas terras congeladas, Clarion não consegue deixar de ficar fascinada pela beleza do Inverno. Mas sob os olhos atentos da atual monarca e dos Ministros das Estações da corte, Clarion tem pouco tempo para devaneios enquanto o dia de sua coroação se aproxima. Isto é, até que relatos de um monstro que pode assolar a Primavera vindo do Inverno chegam ao palácio. Derrotar essa ameaça é algo que Clarion vislumbra como uma oportunidade de provar que é digna de seu novo papel. Mas, em vez de encontrar um monstro na fronteira do Inverno, ela se depara com Milori, um jovem guardião do Bosque do Inverno. Juntos, eles criam um vínculo improvável enquanto correm para salvar seus respectivos reinos. No entanto, à medida que a aliança entre ambos evolui para algo mais, eles descobrirão que há uma razão pela qual fadas das estações quentes e do inverno não devem se misturar. E o preço disso pode ser tão mortal quanto os monstros que rondam o Bosque do Inverno.

Uma fantasia sáfica fascinante de volume único Lorelei Kaskel, uma folclorista de temperamento explosivo e inteligência aguçada, está em uma expedição em busca do local que guarda uma magia lendária. A fonte mágica promete um poder incalculável, e o rei quer utilizá-lo para garantir seu domínio sobre o reino de Brunnestaad. Lorelei está determinada a usar essa oportunidade para realizar seu sonho mais louco e impossível: tornar-se uma grande naturalista. Porém, as coisas começam a dar errado quando sua líder e mentora, Ziegler, é assassinada em seus aposentos a bordo do navio, e os suspeitos são os cinco companheiros de expedição restantes. A única pessoa que parece ser inocente é sua rival acadêmica de longa data, a insuportavelmente bela e também pupila de Ziegler, Sylvia von Wolff. Agora a frente da expedição, Lorelei precisará unir forças com Sylvia, mesmo que a contragosto, para descobrir a verdade e encontrar a fonte de magia antes que o assassino ataque novamente. Mas à medida que a investigação avança e o navio adentra lugares obscuros com criaturas fantásticas e mortais, elas precisarão lutar pelos seus ideais e pela própria sobrevivência — além de resistir aos sentimentos crescentes que nutrem uma pela outra.

Mas os nobres de Avaland são cruéis, especialmente com uma jovem nascida em um reino pobre e rebelde como Machland. E Kit, o noivo mal-humorado e temperamental, não facilita em nada o trabalho dela. Ainda assim, contra todas as possibilidades, algo especial surge entre eles… Só que Kit precisa cumprir seu dever de príncipe. E Niamh precisa voltar para casa e cuidar de sua família — não viver um conto de fadas. Será que vale a pena acreditar em um sentimento tão delicado?

„Profund romantică și absolut magică.“ – Kirkus Reviews Când Margaret Welty o descoperă pe legendara hala, ultima creatură mitică în viață, știe că va urma curând Vânătoarea Semilunii. Oricine este capabil să omoare hala va câștiga faimă și bogății și va descifra un secret magic străvechi. Margaret este cea mai bună trăgătoare de elită din oraș, însă la vânătoare pot participa doar echipe de doi, iar ea are nevoie de un alchimist. Weston Winters nu este alchimist — nu încă. Nu a rezistat niciuneia dintre perioadele de ucenicie pe care le-a încercat, iar ultima lui șansă depinde de decizia Maestrei Welty de a-l accepta. Dar când Wes ajunge la conacul Welty, o găsește doar pe Margaret. Cu mari rezerve, fata îi permite să rămână, cu o condiție: să participe la vânătoare împreună cu ea. Deși formează o echipă cam șubredă, în curând cei doi sunt atrași unul de celălalt. Pe măsură ce vânătoarea se apropie și tensiunile cresc, Margaret și Wes descoperă magia neagră care i-ar putea ajuta să câștige competiția — dacă reușesc să supraviețuiască.
