Colleen Hoover It Ends With Us Boxed Set [Bok / Häftad]

A boxed set of the first three books in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.

<b>Bestselling author Ava Reid s YA debut, the haunting stand-alone dark academia fantasy, instant Indie and #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling <i>A Study in Drowning</i>, is now available in a gorgeous package that also includes bonus content written by the author. With intricate foil case design, antique-style endpapers, filigree cover, custom designed edges, and bonus content, it s a true collector s edition. Quantities will be limited, so be sure to order now!</b> <br/><br/>Effy Sayre has always believed in fairy tales. She s had no choice. Since childhood, she s been haunted by visions of the Fairy King. She s found solace only in the pages of Angharad author Emrys Myrddin s beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King and then destroys him. Effy s tattered, dog-eared copy is all that s keeping her afloat at Llyr s prestigious architecture college. So when Myrddin s family announces a contest to redesign the late author s estate, Effy feels certain this is her destiny. <br/><br/>But Hiraeth Manor is an impossible task: a musty, decrepit house on the brink of crumbling into a hungry sea. And when Effy arrives, someone else has already made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a stodgy young literature scholar, is studying Myrddin s papers and is determined to prove her favorite author is a fraud. As the two rivals piece together clues about the reclusive author s legacy, dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspire against them and the truth may bring them both to ruin.<br/><br/>Part historical fantasy, part rivals-to-lovers romance, part Gothic mystery, and all haunting, dreamlike atmosphere, Ava Reid's powerful YA debut is also an unflinching indictment of institutions that sacrifice young girls on the altar of men s genius and a gripping read that will stay with you long after its final page. <br/><br/>Achingly atmospheric and beautifully sharp." Rory Power, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Wilder Girls</i>

<b>From New York Times bestselling author Lex Croucher comes a queer historical YA romance, with all the swoons, laughs, and heart-pounding moments you'd expect from a story about the granddaughter of Robin Hood and the girl she's accidentally kidnapped.</b> <br/><br/>'You aren't merry,' Clem said to her captor. 'And you aren't all men. So there's been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line.' <br/><br/>Mariel, a newly blooded and perpetually grumpy captain of the Merry Men, is desperate to live up to the legacy of her grandfather, the legendary Robin Hood. <br/><br/>Clem, a too-perky backwoods healer known for her new-fangled cures, just wants to help people. <br/><br/>When Mariel's ramshackle band of bandits kidnap Clem as retribution for her guardian helping the Sheriff of Nottingham, all seems to be going (sort of) to plan ... until Jack Hartley, Mariel's father and Commander of the Merry Men, is captured in a deadly ambush. Determined to prove herself, Mariel sets out to get him back - with her annoyingly cheerful kidnappee in tow. <br/><br/>But the wood is at war. <br/><br/>Many believe the Merry Men are no longer on the right side of history. Watching Clem tend the party's wounds and crack relentlessly terrible jokes, Mariel begins to doubt the noble cause to which she has devoted her life. As the two of them grow closer, forced by circumstances to share a single horse and bed, one thing is clear. <br/><br/>They must prepare to fight for their lives and for those of everyone they've sworn to protect. <br/><br/>Lex Croucher's Not for the Faint of Heart is a thrilling adventure full of hijinks, found family, and romance destined to change the lives of the inhabitants of the Greenwood Forest forever.

Europe stares into the abyss.<br/><br/>Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.<br/><br/>Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .<br/><br/>And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.<br/><br/>Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.<br/><br/>When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

Katabasis (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Aomame and Tengo's stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times intentionally, as the two come closer and closer to intertwining. As "1Q84" accelerates towards its conclusion, both are pursued by persons and forces they do not know and cannot understand. As they begin to decipher more about the strange world into which they have slipped, so they sense their destinies converging. What they cannot know is whether they will find one another before they are themselves found. "1Q84" is a magnificent and fully-imagined work of fiction - a thriller, a love-story and a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four". It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.
