Das Dominion befindet sich im Krieg. Hunderte von Jahren lang hätte es niemand gewagt die Macht des Dominars und seiner Drachenreiter herauszufordern. Doch jetzt landen die Feinde an der gesamten Küste und erobern eine Stadt nach der anderen. Amel und ihren Freunden bleibt angesichts dieser Bedrohung keine andere Wahl. Sie müssen den Dominar erreichen und ihn überzeugen, dass Savette die einzige Möglichkeit ist, das Dominion Land zu retten.

Amel hat ihre Freunde gerettet, aber zu einem hohen Preis. Sie hat alle Regeln der Drachenschule gebrochen und jetzt droht ihr der Ausschluss aus der Schule und sogar der Tod ihres Drachen. Als sich ihr ein Ausweg aus dieser misslichen Lage eröffnet, zögert sie darum nicht diesen Weg zu ergreifen. Amel soll die Schülerin des legendären Drachenreiters Hubric Wolkenwandler werden. Hubrik ist ein harter Lehrmeister, aber hinter seiner schroffen Art verbergen sich oft Güte und eine beinahe väterliche Zuneigung. Amel verspricht Hubrics Lektionen ernst zu nehmen. Und das muss sie auch.

Deep in enemy territory, betrayed by those who should be friends, and under attack by enemies, Sersha, her phoenix Kazmerev, and the enigmatic Judicus must seize all their courage to fight for the future of phoenixes everywhere and maybe even mankind.

Alone and with her hopes dragged to the bottom of the sea along with the husband she just realized she loves, Izolda finds herself in the mortal world as princess and counselor to her brother Svetgin, now king of Pensmoore. But Izolda is not the practical girl she once was who would have been happy for a home and a place. Instead, she's willing to make any bargain and offer any sacrifice if it will just get her back into the Wittenhame with a chance to win back the life of the man she loves, the man she once feared, the man destined to change everything—Bluebeard.

No one told her the most important law of the court - the law of greeting. If they had, maybe she wouldn't have greeted Bluebeard when he arrived to claim a mortal wife. And if she hadn't greeted him, she wouldn't have become his 16th wife or been swept away to the lands of the Wittenhame. But if none of that had happened, then she wouldn't have been an integral part of the game that takes place every 200 years - a game that determines the fates of nations.

With the heart of the Wittenhame still ringing from Izolda's actions and her new husband shocked at her betrayal, the future seems very grim indeed. If Izolda had been asked if she wanted to be rescued from her would-be bridegroom and returned to her home and family, she would have eagerly agreed to go, but now that she is back in the mortal world, she is quickly discovering that home, family, and even the inclinations of her own heart are not what she expected.

With her beloved dying in her arms, a last bargain with a tricky Wittenbrand her only hope of saving him, and the very world itself crumbling to bits around them, Izolda must face Death himself in her bid to turn the tables on her enemies in this deadly game of crowns and finally win a place for her husband...and herself.

A bewildering feature of so much contemporary political violence is its stunning impersonality. Every major city center becomes a potential shooting gallery; and every metro system a potential bomb alley. Victims just happen, as the saying goes, to "be in the wrong place at the wrong time". We accept this contemporary reality - at least to some degree. But we rarely ask: where has it come from historically? Killing Strangers examines how such violence became "unchained" from interpersonal relationships.

Sersha is voiceless and overlooked in society, but that hasn't stopped her and her beloved phoenix, Kazmerev, from taking on any and every challenge in their quest to keep the ai'sletta safe, bring down the Hand of the Rats and the Stryxex, and keep phoenixes everywhere safe.

Disabled and rejected in her community, Sersha has never had a best friend. Until one day, a phoenix enters her world, tied to her heart in a way no one can break. Now, this great fiery beast has adopted her as his best friend and he wants to take her away from the world she’s known until now. But Sersha’s village is in trouble, and unless she can learn to work with her phoenix friend right now, they might both lose the future they were counting on.

She's the village hunter--born and raised to protect them from danger. But there is one danger too great for her skills. They stole her sister. They stole her sight. And now they’re going to steal everything else…unless she can stop them. He's a gorgeous and tricky fae who is used to seeing his desires come to pass--one way or another. To him, lies are truth, power is sustenance, and every action ripples into violence. He is glamor, violence, and deadly temptation, and he's not being honest about why he came to the mortal world.
