But when Cole attempts to steal the answers instead, his mission ends in disaster. Faced with centuries in a Delphinian dungeon, Cole is confronted with questions he''s been too scared to ask himself: Is he really obsessed with the throne—or is he obsessed with Nikki? And can she really give him a new beginning as the Everneath''s king . . . or will she instead bring about his tragic end?

After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there’s talk of a garou cure.

Don''t call this mermaid "little"—call her "captain," unless you want to walk the plank. Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn''t love her back.

To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn''t willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she''s ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won''t let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard''s cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who''s having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can''t be a pirate just because she''s a girl. She may not be the best man for the job, but she''ll definitely prove that she''s worth her salt. And don’t miss the Prime Video streaming hit My Lady Jane!

The New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane present an electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father’s bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that’ll inspire a work worthy of her parentage—and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley. Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts—in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations, there’s always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own. Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada''s greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all. When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae—magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won''t stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts. With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that’s ideal for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Wie heeft er ooit gezegd dat geschiedenis saai moet zijn?

Toda história tem sempre duas versões... Inglaterra, século XVI, dinastia Tudor. O jovem Rei Eduardo VI está à beira da morte e o destino do país é incerto. Para evitar que o poder caia em mãos erradas (leia-se: nas mãos de Maria Sangrenta), Eduardo é persuadido por seu conselheiro a nomear Lady Jane Grey, sua prima e melhor amiga, como a legítima sucessora Aos 16 anos, Jane está em um relacionamento muito sério com seus livros até ser surpreendida pela trágica notícia de que terá de se casar com um completo estranho que (ninguém lembrou de contar para ela) tem um talento muito especial: a habilidade de se transformar em cavalo. E, pior ainda, descobre que está prestes a se tornar a nova Rainha da Inglaterra! Arrastada para o centro de um conflito político, Jane suspeita de que sua coroação na verdade esconde um grande plano conspiratório para usurpar o trono. Agora, ela precisa definitivamente manter a cabeça no lugar se... bem, se não quiser literalmente perder a cabeça. Um rei relutante, uma rainha-relâmpago ainda mais relutante e um nobre (e) garanhão puro-sangue que não se conformam com o destino que lhes foi reservado; uma história apaixonante, envolvente, cativante, sedutora... e mais uma porção de sinônimos que só Lady Jane seria capaz de listar. Tudo com uma leve semelhança com os fatos históricos. ...afinal, às vezes a História precisa de uma mãozinha.

Sai pra lá, Charlotte Brontë! As autoras do best-seller Minha Lady Jane estão de volta com uma irreverente releitura do clássico Jane Eyre, em Minha simples Jane – uma história de romance, travessuras e desordem sobrenatural, perfeita para fãs de A princesa prometida e O guia do cavalheiro para o vício e a virtude. Inglaterra, 1834. O Rei William IV ascende ao trono e corta o financiamento que a Coroa concedia à Sociedade Real para Realocação de Espíritos Instáveis, formada havia anos pelo Rei George III (ou "George, o rei louco", que via e conversava com fantasmas). O acontecimento, é claro, foi malvisto pelo presidente da Sociedade, criando uma inimizade entre ele e o novo rei. É nesse cenário instável que encontramos a jovem cuja história você julga conhecer. Órfã e sem nenhum tostão, Jane Eyre foi enviada à Thornfield Hall para ser tutora de uma adorável criança. Mas nossa simples Jane, que tem um péssimo gosto para homens – se liga, Sr. Rochester! –, acaba se tornando amiga de uma mulher fantasma que suportou anos de infortúnio. Outra de suas amigas é Charlotte Brontë (sim, a autora!), que está determinada a registrar a história de Jane, mesmo que isso signifique se infiltrar na caçada-fantasma mais épica de todas. Mas o agente Alexander Blackwood, da famigerada Sociedade, está prestes a descobrir que algo perturbador ocorre em Thornfield. Um conselho? Prepare o coração para essa história cheia de assassinato, desordem, traição e romance! ___________________________________________________ "Leitura prazerosa. Uma divertida e sobrenatural mistura de diferentes romances, mas que brilha por mérito próprio." Kirkus Reviews

Edward is the King of England. He''s also dying, which is inconvenient, as he''s only sixteen and he''d rather be planning his first kiss than who will inherit his crown. Jane, Edward''s cousin, is far more interested in books than romance. Unfortunately, Edward has arranged to marry her off to Gifford secure the line of succession. And Gifford is, well, a horse. That is, he is an Eðian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated) who becomes a chestnut steed every morning, but wakes as a man at dusk, with a mouthful of hay. Very undignified. The plot thickens as the three are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy, and have to engage in some conspiring of their own. But can they pull off their plan before it''s off with their heads?
