Achilleus, »den bedste af alle grækere«, søn af den grusomme havgudinde Thetis og den legendariske kong Peleus, er stærk, hurtig og smuk, uimodståelig for alle, der møder ham. Patroklos er en kejtet ung prins, forvist fra sit hjemland efter en chokerende voldshandling. Bragt sammen af tilfældet knytter de et ubrydeligt bånd, selv om de risikerer gudernes vrede. De trænes af kentauren Cheiron i krigskunst og lægekunst, men da nyheden kommer om, at Helena af Sparta er blevet bortført, kaldes alle Grækenlands helte til at belejre Troja i hendes navn. Forført af løftet om en strålende skæbne slutter Achilleus sig til deres sag, og splittet mellem kærlighed til og frygt for sin ven følger Patroklos efter. De ved ikke, at de grusomme skæbnegudinder vil sætte dem begge på en prøve som aldrig før og kræve et frygteligt offer.

In der unerbittlichen Umgebung eines Krankenhauses verliebte ich mich in einen schelmischen Jungen mit sonnenhellen Augen, der zu meiner einzigen Freude an diesem trostlosen Ort wurde. Umso niederschmetternder war es, als er sich vor meinen Augen das Leben nahm. Seitdem habe ich mir geschworen, nie wieder jemanden zu lieben. Mit drei Ausnahmen: meine Freunde Sony, Neo und Coeur, eine kleine Bande rebellischer, sterbender Kinder. Sony führt uns an, mit der Ausstrahlung von Freiheit und nur einer Lunge, um sie zu atmen. Neo, ein schlecht gelaunter Schriftsteller im Rollstuhl, hält unsere großen Taten fest – vom Stehlen bis hin zum Terrorisieren unserer Krankenpflegerin. Coeur ist der schöne Junge, der Muskelmann, der sanfte Riese mit einem versagenden Herzen. Bevor der Tod unweigerlich an unsere Türen klopft, haben meine Diebe und ich noch einen letzten Raub geplant. Einen großen Ausbruch, der uns weit weg von missbräuchlichen Eltern, lähmendem Verlust und der Realität unserer Krankheiten führen wird. Was also passiert, wenn jemand anderes durch die Tür kommt? Was passiert, wenn ein Mädchen sich unserer Gruppe anschließt und mich mit ihrem schelmischen Lächeln sprachlos macht? Was passiert, wenn sie Sonnen in ihren Augen hat und ich, so verängstigt ich auch bin, wieder jemanden zu verlieren, mich verliebe? Triggerwarnungen im Vorwort Geschrieben von Lancali

When Cady’s boss unexpectedly died, she thought the worst that would happen to her was extra paperwork. Instead, she ended up stuffed in a trunk, driving down a no-name road in the middle of the bayou with two thugs that want their stolen money. Just as she’s about to become gator food, Cady is rescued by one of the notorious Barbeaux boys. As Cady and Eli Barbeaux join forces to find out exactly who is looking for this missing money and putting them both in danger, they realize their lives are becoming entangled by more than an unsolved mystery. But the bayou is full of secrets and Eli is supposed to keep them. The Barbeaux line is old—ancient. Eli and his brothers are the last living descendants of The Beast of Gévaudan. Time isn’t kind to those with preternaturally long lives and the burden of that violent family history is slowly killing them. Now Eli has been given a second chance at living, but only if he can figure out who is after Cady and protect her from the fallout of bonding with a beast. Perfect for fans of T.S. Joyce, Kelley Armstrong, and Suzanne Wright, Shroud of Exile is a slow burn werewolf romance that can be read as a stand-alone. There are no cliffhangers and always, always a happily ever after.

He’s coming for you. Death is meant to come on a chariot of broken dreams or in the dark trenches of a storm, not in love letters and gifts. He did not take my soul when I was meant to die. He did not want it all the other times that I’ve offered it to him on a silver platter. Yet, time and time again, he reminds me that I am his: His night monster, his dark love, his perfect other. Death was the only thing keeping me alive. He watches me from his corner, taunts me with sweet messages, marks my body with his touch as I sleep. He took the people that I love away from me. Still, no one believed me when I said that I saw the faceless man on the night of the accident. No one can escape death. Me? I’m chasing it.

Caraval meets Throne of the Fallen in this spicy dark romantasy where a necromancer needs help from a dangerous phantom to win a deadly competition, only to find their partnership puts her at risk of breaking the game’s most vital rule: don't fall in love. When Ophelia and her sister discovers their mother brutally murdered, there is no time to grieve: Ophelia has inherited both her powerful death\-driven magic and enormous debt on their home. Circumstances go from dire to deadly, however, when Ophelia’s sister decides to pay off the loan by entering Phantasma—a competition where most contestants don’t make it out alive and the winner is granted a single wish. The only way to save her sister is to compete. But Phantasma is a cursed manor, with twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, and filled with enticing demons and fatal temptations. Ophelia will need to face nine floors of challenges to win... if her fears don’t overtake her first. When a charming, arrogant stranger claims he can protect and guide Ophelia, she knows she shouldn’t trust him. While Blackwell may not seem dangerous, appearances can be deceptive. But with her sister’s life on the line, Ophelia can’t afford to turn him away. She just needs to ignore the overwhelming, dark attraction drawing them closer and closer together. Because in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart.
