New Releases by Amie Kaufman

8 HOURS TO STOP AN EXPLOSION...8 HOURS TO FALL IN LOVE. From the NYT bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising comes a high-octane, high-chemistry, sci-fi romp about a stowaway girl and the richest boy in the galaxy, racing against the clock to outwit a gang of mercenaries. It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patch of settlements--equal parts national pride, and corporate power grab. Enter Hunter Graves: handsome, ambitious, and with spectacularly bad timing. He shows up unannounced at the United Nations base just in time for a toxin alert to set off every alarm they''ve got. Then the evac pods leave without him. Uh oh. Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tonged stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemey of your enemy is the jerk who might just help you survive, so here we are. There is no toxin. There is a team of invading mercenaries planning to blow up the base--and every trace of their crime--in eight hours. Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they''re falling for each other. The clock is ticking.

An undeniably fierce, unforgettably funny, unapologetically queer feminist romp through the England of medieval legend. Bestselling and acclaimed authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner bring readers along on an epic quest for valor, freedom, and, above all, love. A Knight’s Tale meets the Lady Jane series, with a dash of The Great! Gwen is sick of hiding—hiding the fact that she’s taken over her father’s blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight. Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she is—until now. She’s been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she can’t talk her way out of trouble. When Isobelle discovers Gwen’s knightly ambitions, they hatch a scheme together—Gwen will joust in the tournament, disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle, and glory for Gwen. Losing means… well, let’s not go there. One thing’s for sure: Falling in love was never the plan. But the best laid plans…are often trampled all over by dragons. "A sapphic delight, full of jousts, jaunts, and courtly love. Lady''s Knight sparkles with wit and charm and has lady knights to swoon over. Kaufman and Spooner will leave you breathless." —C. S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise “Kaufman and Spooner are auto-buy authors for me, always guaranteed to get my heart pumping with their page-turning romance and high-stakes adventure.” —New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard "There are a lot of damsels in Lady''s Knight, but none of them need a man to fix their problems. (Men seem to be the source of the problems, in fact.) Wholesome, heartfelt, and more fun than cheesecake on a stick, Kaufman and Spooner''s latest book is all about women''s work. You know, jousting, dragonslaying, and saving the kingdom—all while looking fabulous." —Jodi Meadows, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling novels My Lady Jane and My Plain Jane “Clever, funny, thrilling, and romantic—Lady’s Knight will inspire readers to take up their swords to fight dragons and the patriarchy. Perfect for fans of A Knight’s Tale and anyone who loves a romantasy with wit, charm, and the occasional comedic fourth wall break.” —F. T. Lukens, New York Times bestselling author of So This Is Ever After "You''ll laugh, you''ll cry, and you''ll be ready to fight any dragon after reading this delightful tale full of swoony romance, heart-racing action, and the very best banter in the realm!" —Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Night of the Witch "Writing that is above all else marvelously warm and at the same time witty, adventure and romance that will sweep you off your feet—a double sweep, and a triumph!" —Sarah Rees Brennan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Long Live Evil "Sparkles with wit and romance! So many quotable lines. Not to mention the sexiest gown-lacing scene in modern literature. Like its characters, Lady''s Knight is endlessly clever and resourceful." —Ellen Kushner, award-winning author of Swordspoint

Magic and sacrifice will collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart-pounding sequel to THE ISLES OF THE GODS, which Stephanie Garber called "deliciously diabolical and full of heart." When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain’s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love. Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life, and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic, and only Selly’s presence can stop it from consuming him. But Barrica wasn’t the only immortal roused from sleep. The God of Risk, Macean, was awakened by an enemy all thought dead, and across the sea he’s calling for war. The fight to save their world will take Selly and Leander from the gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn, and bonds will break. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?

Selly Walker prend enfin le large, loin du royaume d''Alinor ! Quand son navire est réquisitionné pour une mission d''ordre royal, la jeune fille est furieuse. En effet, Selly est sommée d’escorter le troublant prince Leander incognito jusqu’à l’Archipel des Dieux pour qu’il y sacrifie un peu de son sang, ainsi que l’exige le rituel qui protège le royaume. Pour couronner le tout, une impitoyable tueuse nommée Laskia se lance à leurs trousses. Son but ? Assassiner Leander, le seul à pouvoir garantir la paix entre les Dieux et les hommes...

Magia, romance e deuses adormecidos se misturam no início de uma fascinante série de fantasia em alto-mar. Séculos atrás, o deus do risco foi forçado a dormir para evitar uma guerra. Desde então, o irmão de cada governante de Alinor é enviado às Ilhas dos Deuses para sacrificar algo em troca da proteção do deus da guerra. Essa tradição evitou o surgimento de conflitos e é a única forma garantida de manter a paz e impedir que os deuses entrem em confronto novamente. Selly Walker, filha de um famoso capitão, não tem aptidão natural para a magia e não quer nada além de se juntar ao pai no norte, mas está presa trabalhando como marinheira no Lizabetta pelo resto do ano. Quando ela descobre que seu pai só voltará depois do inverno, Selly, que não está disposta a ficar de fora de nenhuma aventura, decide fugir e encontrá-lo por conta própria. O plano de Selly é arruinado quando um estranho, com quem ela antipatiza de imediato, assume o comando do navio. O príncipe Leander, irmão da rainha, precisa atravessar o oceano sem ser avistado para poder fazer o sacrifício. Ele adiou a tarefa e já está um ano atrasado, então as tensões começam a aumentar. Selly rejeita essa missão e o novo passageiro a bordo. Mas, quando a frota enviada com Leander para servir de isca é atacada, ela e a tripulação do Lizabetta devem protegê-lo por tempo suficiente para chegar às Ilhas dos Deuses, mesmo que isso signifique perder tudo no processo.

The year is 2380 and the cadets of the last year of the Aurora Academy are going to receive their first mission. Star student Tyler Jones is ready to recruit his dream squad, but his own ridiculous heroism causes him to settle for the spoils no other student at the academy would want to accept: a smug diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm; a sociopathic scientist with a fondness for shooting her roommates; the most belligerent tech genius in the entire galaxy; an alien warrior with anger management issues from him; a pilot who, in case you were wondering, has no feelings for Tyler, nothing at all. Plus, Tyler''s squad isn''t even his biggest problem: that would be Aurora Jie-Lin O''Malley, the girl he just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryogenic sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of place. Yet she could be the catalyst for a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler''s squad of losers, disciplinary cases, and misfits could be the galaxy''s last hope. Don''t let her panic.

2380, quelque part dans l''espace. Et si le sort de l''univers dépendait de sept têtes brûlées à l''humour cosmique ? Tyler, l''alpha : chef de l''escadron, carrément beau gosse. Scarlett, la négociatrice : jumelle de Tyler, franche et directe. Cat, l''as : pilote rebelle, qui ne craque pas du tout sur le chef ! Finn, le mécano : monsieur-je-sais-tout, capable de réparer les dégâts... ou d''en causer. Zila, la cellule grise : scientifique sociopathe, véritable danger public à éviter coûte que coûte. Kal, le gros bras : guerrier alien ― qu''est-ce qu''il fait là, déjà ?

Das fulminante Finale der grandiosen Space Opera und Bestseller-Trilogie! Was passiert, wenn man einen Haufen Loser und Außenseiter bittet, die Galaxie vor einem uralten, übermächtigen Feind zu retten? Der uralte Feind gewinnt natürlich. Moment mal ... Nicht. So. Schnell. Als wir Tyler Jones und sein Squad 312 das letzte Mal erlebten, arbeiteten sie perfekt zusammen (oder rasteten aus), während eine intergalaktische Schlacht tobte und eine uralte Superwaffe das Universum zu vernichten drohte. Natürlich ging alles total schief. Aber wie sich herausstellt, ist nicht jedes Ende ein Ende, und das Team hat noch eine Chance, sein eigenes umzuschreiben. Vielleicht auch zwei. Es ist kompliziert. Und die Zeit läuft davon. Der Auftrag für Zila, Fin und Scarlett (und MAGELLAN!): Freunde finden, Feinde finden und Geschichte schreiben? Klar, kein Problem. Der Auftrag für Tyler, Kal und Auri: sich mit zwei der meist gehassten Schurken der Galaxis zusammentun? Ähm, okay. Das auch. Aber können sie die Galaxie wirklich retten? Dazu bedarf es schon eines Wunders... Alle Bände der Aurora-Trilogie: Band 1: Aurora erwacht Band 2: Aurora entflammt Band 3: Aurora erleuchtet

Jules und Mia haben keine andere Wahl, als die Dinge selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, die Rettung der Erde liegt nun allein in ihrer Hand.

Der Auftakt der mega-spannenden »Unearthed«-Dilogie Auf der Erde hätten Jules und Amelia sich gehasst: er ein verwöhnter Jung-Wissenschaftler, der sich in den Kopf gesetzt hat, die Erde vor dem Ressourcen-Kollaps zu retten; sie eine Plünderin, auf der Suche nach irgendetwas, was sie zu Geld machen kann. Fernab der Erde, auf dem kargen Planeten Gaia, müssen sie zusammenarbeiten, denn sie haben dasselbe Ziel: den verlassenen Tempel der Unsterblichen. Nur gemeinsam können die beiden die kryptischen Rätsel lösen und die tödlichen Fallen überwinden, die das Innere des Tempels schützen. Doch können sie einander wirklich vertrauen?

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Laini Taylor, this much-anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner’s The Other Side of the Sky is a thrilling race against time—with a tantalizing star-crossed love and an electric conclusion. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again. Time to do the impossible. Above, in the cloudlands, Nimh has no memory of her past, only an aching, undying certainty that she has left something—someone—behind. But while she struggles to recall her identity, an imposter wields her name with deadly purpose. Below, on the surface, North looks to the sky, desperate to join the person he loves and return to his world. But with only a traitor willing to help him, and others clamoring for him to take Nimh’s place, his home seems more unreachable than ever. Tragedy looms as the cloudland engines falter and mist rains terror on the surface, and in their desperation to reunite and save their people, Nimh and North face one ultimate question: can they defy their love and their destiny to save their homes? Or will the spark between them ignite their worlds, and consume them all together?
