Bestsellerauteur Sarah J. Maas keert terug naar Prythian. Een nieuw deel in de Hof van doorns en rozen-serie vol romantiek, spanning en intriges.
Diep in het hart van het continent ontwaakt Koschei de Dodeloze. Hoewel hij al eeuwenlang gebonden is aan zijn meer, vormt de terugkeer van deze gevaarlijke toverheer een dreiging die koste wat kost moet worden tegengehouden. Na het vallen van de muur zien machtige Fae-bondgenoten hun kans schoon om op te eisen wat ooit van hen was: het land van de stervelingen.
Het Nachthof weigert lijdzaam toe te zien terwijl onschuldigen worden aangevallen, maar het blijkt een grote uitdaging het broze Prythian te herenigen. De hoven zijn de verwoestende oorlog met Hybern nog niet te boven en bovendien heerst in het Nachthof verdeeldheid door recente gebeurtenissen en onthullingen. De onderlinge verschillen lijken onoverkomelijk.
Om Koschei te verslaan zullen de hoven hun alliantie nieuw leven moeten inblazen. Zullen ze het verraad te boven kunnen komen om de versplinterde harmonieën te herstellen?

But when a bounty on Viv’s head puts those she cares about most in danger, Viv will be forced to go to lengths she never dreamed in order to protect them.
With enemies closing in from all sides and a ticking clock on her life, Viv must save the Half City from destruction while surviving a betrayal that strikes at the heart of everything she’s fighting for. Because in a world where monsters wear familiar faces and temptation cuts deeper than any blade, making it through her second semester at Harker will take more than skill—it will take everything Viv has left to give.

When Catherine Pine relocates to Bath in 1817, she comes face-to-face with her mother’s arch nemesis and her daughter—the wildly popular Lady Rosalie. Twenty-five years after a horrible betrayal, Catherine’s mother sees the perfect opportunity for revenge: Catherine must win the favor of Lady Rosalie’s suitor and unofficial betrothed, the most eligible Mr. Dean.
Only Catherine soon discovers that Lady Rosalie is by far the wittiest, cleverest, most intriguing young woman Catherine’s ever met, and she’s instantly smitten. Which is a problem.
Meanwhile, Lady Rosalie feels trapped in her relationship with Mr. Dean and in her role as Bath’s resident mean girl. But when she notices newcomer Catherine gunning for her spot as queen bee, Rosalie finally feels a spark again–something she absolutely doesn’t want to extinguish.
As Rosalie and Catherine circle Mr. Dean, and their mothers force them into increasingly absurd contests of wit and feminine charms, the two women somehow find themselves falling for each other, scheme, by barb, by catty jab…
Is it possible that their sizzling rivalry can become a match to last?

In this hilarious LGBTQIA+ romcom, a famous young man whose reputations needs damage control soon find his fake relationship turning to real romance.

It’s supposed to be fake. Neither of them expects the awkward photo ops and staged brunches to turn into something that feels real. But as the lines blur, and secrets slip through carefully built walls, Luc must face the question he’s always avoided: what if someone could love him—exactly as he is?
You’ll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice, full of sharp humor and emotional vulnerability and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It’s perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive, with its grumpy/sunshine dynamics and slow-burn chemistry.
“It’s a fun, frothy quintessentially British romcom about a certified chaos demon and a stern brunch daddy with a heart of gold faking a relationship.”—New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?
Juniper O’Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else—taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labor—falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn.
But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants—he doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line.
But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.
