Caggiano A: Throne in the Dark / B

Throne in the Dark

A Feel-Good Cosy Romantasy Adventure (Villains & Virtues Book 1)

Ein heißer Halbdämon ist noch lange kein MärchenprinzIhre Entführung ist Lady Ammalie Avingtons kleinstes Problem. Denn sie ist hoffnungslos verknallt, und das ausgerechnet in ihren Entführer Damien Maleficus Blutdorn. Dass dieser düstere Blutmagier das gesamte Reich vernichten will, ist zwar höchst ungelegen, aber macht die Sache nicht einfacher. Jeder hat schließlich Fehler.Und gefangen zwischen infernalischen Monstern, verführerischen Vampiren und esoterischen Hexen, erkennt Amma endlich, dass hinter Damiens düsterer Fassade wirklich ein weiches Herz schlägt. Doch als sie ihre eigenen magischen Kräfte entdeckt, muss Amma sich entscheiden: Rettet sie das Reich oder folgt sie ihrem Herzen in den Abgrund?

Die Blume des Bösen | Rapunzel und ihr morally grey Prinz der Schatten

Summoned to the Wilds

From indie sensation A.K. Caggiano comes the third book in the cosy romantasy Villains &amp; Virtues series, following a not-so-evil-anymore demon lord and the baroness responsible for his change of heart, who finally must confront their feelings for each other, but how can they admit their attraction when the world is ending? *** Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond finally be the realm's ultimate undoing? Nothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne's evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? A certain noblewoman who has somehow enmeshed herself in his softening heart. Now back amongst his peers at Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains, Damien's moral growth is threatened-and just when he was learning to be a little less evil, too. Consequently, Lady Ammalie Avington, Daughter to the Baron of Faebarrow, finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can't-or doesn't want-to say no to. But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that's been hunting them across the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and with prophecy being, well, prophecy, annihilation seems impossible to avoid. But there's an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that's enough time to find some way around it...or at the very least to confess one's devotion before it all burns down around them. Exciting, heartwarming and unashamedly cosy, the third book in the Villains &amp; Virtues series is a slow burn romantasy adventure perfect for fans of cosy fantasy and grumpy x sunshine romance.

A Cosy Enemies to Lovers Romantasy Adventure (Villains & Virtues Book 3)

Eclipse of the Crown

From indie sensation A.K. Caggiano comes the second book in the cosy romantasy Villains &amp; Virtues series, following an on-the-run Baroness determined to save the world and the demon lord at her side bent on its destruction...but will her tendency to bring out the good in the world extend to finally bringing out the good in him? *** She's sworn to protect the realm. Her heart has other plans. Lady Ammalie Avington, Baroness of Faebarrow, knows it's not safe to pine after the son of a demon. Especially not the blood mage who threatened and abducted her and now intends to bring ruin to the realm. The very realm she is sworn to serve. It's just a terribly inconvenient fact because, well...he's rather cute. Despite her best efforts, Amma can't seem to get him out of her mind, not whilst locked up in a tower surrounded by infernal beings, nor trapped below ground in a den of beguiling vampires, and definitely not in the heart of a wild jungle under the tutelage of esoteric witches. She just can't help herself around Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne, danger be damned. And what danger is there? Damien's heart, the one he swears to not have, has been softening right before her eyes. Perhaps with her guidance, Damien won't rain chaos and destruction down on the world. Perhaps she can even save them both as Damien searches for a way to magically unlink them on their quest to fulfil their destinies. So, when Amma learns she may have ancient, innate magical powers of her own, why not use them to do exactly as she pleases? Exciting, heartwarming and unashamedly cosy, the second book in the Villains &amp; Virtues series is a slow burn romantasy adventure perfect for fans of cosy fantasy and grumpy x sunshine romance.

Er ist ein Dunkler Lord, Sohn eines Dämons, der prophezeite Zerstörer des Reiches. Sie ist blond, gutgläubig, und viel zu optimistisch.Eine süße und selbstironische Romantasy, in der sich Gegensätze anziehen. 
Halbdämon Damien Maleficus Blutdorn steht mit seinem teuflischsten Zauber kurz davor, das Ziel all seiner grausigen Machenschaften zu erreichen: seinen Vater, den Fürsten der Dämonen, aus dem magischen Exil zurückzubringen. Damiens Schicksal als Erbe des Dunklen Throns wäre damit gesichert, und nichts wird ihm im Wege stehen!&nbsp;Außer ihr. Die niedliche Diebin Amma bindet sich aus Versehen mit einem magischen Artefakt an Damien und durchkreuzt damit seine düsteren Pläne. Natürlich könnte Damien sie töten, das würde seine Probleme lösen. Aber Amma stellt schnell zwei Dinge unter Beweis. Zum Einen, dass sie ziemlich nützlich bei Damiens schrecklichem Unterfangen ist; und zum Zweiten, dass sie selbst etwas viel Schrecklicheres in ihm hervorruft: Gefühle. Damien und Amme sind der zimtigste Cinnamon-Schurke und der quirligste Sonnenschein der Romantasy!'Kitschig, chaotisch, und selbstironisch auf die beste Weise! ... Was will man mehr!' -&nbsp;Brigitte Knightley, Bestsellerautorin von ¿The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy¿

Die Flamme des Bösen | RomCom trifft Romantasy

El periplo desnudo y descarnado de un marinero a la deriva. Y el relato que le costó el exilio a Gabriel García Márquez. 'Mi libro preferido, y el primero que escribí.' Gabriel García Márquez Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre, Luis Alejandro Velasco, que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro Nobel de Literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista y los transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El Espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable -se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco- y el exilio para su autor. 'El 22 de febrero nos anunció que regresaríamos a Colombia. Teníamos ocho meses de estar en Mobile, Alabama, Estados Unidos, donde el A.R.C. Caldas fue sometido a reparaciones electrónicas y de sus armamentos. En los días de franquicia hacíamos lo que hacen todos los marineros en tierra: íbamos al cine con la novia y nos reuníamos después en Joe Palooka, una taberna del puerto, donde tomábamos whisky y armábamos una bronca de vez en cuando.' La crítica dijo... 'Su narración más perfecta.' El País

El 28 de febrero de 1955 el destructor Caldas, que viajaba de Estados Unidos a Colombia, sufrió un accidente. Con la finalidad de rescatar a los náufragos, las fuerzas norteamericanas del canal de Panamá peinaron la zona cercana al siniestro. Después de cuatro días de búsqueda no encontraron ningún sobreviviente y se desistió de la búsqueda. Una semana más tarde apareció Luis Alejandro Velasco, quien después de pasar en las aguas del Caribe diez días a la deriva, logró llegar a tierra. &nbsp; Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era la de escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor is a work of non-fiction by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. The novel is about a shipwrecked sailor "Velasques" who struggles for ten days to reach the coast. &nbsp;In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal.

A Kingdom of Fire and Fate (Deluxe Edition)

Dark Inheritance Trilogy

In the exhilarating second romantasy novel in Rebecca Robinson’s Dark Inheritance Trilogy, a fiery couple forced apart must navigate a deadly maze of politics and power to reunite across a continent at war. Torn from her husband Reid’s arms and dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasa is no longer a ruler, but a political pawn. Now under the control of Ozik—a cunning Zetyr witch with a stranglehold on her magic—she faces annulment, forced betrothal, and a kingdom that no longer feels like her own. As Ozik’s machinations aim to install himself as the true power behind the Asteryan throne, Vaasa is forced to take part in his game. Meanwhile, across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. But waging war is never simple, and a soldier’s fury cannot stand up against Icruria’s bureaucracy. With allies fading and time slipping away, Reid may have no choice but to infiltrate Asterya on his own to find the woman he loves and bring her home. As Vaasa’s magic begins to flare, she desperately seeks control, even if Ozik is the only one who can offer it. She then finds a cryptic final message from her mother about a precious missing necklace that might just be the answer to finally freeing her magic from Ozik. Yet when a ghost from Vaasa’s past reemerges among the suitors vying for her hand, escape might be within reach—but will it demand a betrayal that real love may not survive?

Claw Haven

A local bookshop employee falls hard for her polar opposite—who just happens to be an orc—in the second installment of Isabelle Taylor’s Claw Haven monster romance series, perfect for fans of Legends &amp; Lattes and Ruby Dixon. In Claw Haven, Alaska, monsters are real—but fated mates? Bookseller Vi Harper doesn’t believe, and it’s up to one smitten orc to prove otherwise in this sweet and spicy romance. Vi Harper is good at many things. Fixing problems for everyone in Claw Haven, for one. Keeping Sweethelm Bookstore running smoothly, for another. Above all, Vi is great at pretending she’s got her life figured out. The truth is, she’s a hot mess inside—especially when cocky, gorgeous orc Nick Wicker goads her in his infuriating way. Nick has found his mate. That’s the good news. The bad: he’s already blown it. Every time Nick speaks to soft-spoken, overworked bookseller Vi, she seems to hate him even more. What’s a lovestruck orc to do but stress-bake and look for some way to redeem himself? Even it means joining the book club. Then a batch of apology brownies sparks one passionate night together and suddenly, sensible Vi is doing something completely out of character: offering her one-time enemy a friends-with-benefits arrangement. It’s more than Nick dreamed. Phenomenal. And it won’t be enough. Not until he’s found a way to show her that sometimes, fate gets it exactly right… Tropes: <ul> <li>Fated mates/soul mates</li> <li>Rivals to lovers</li> <li>Bookish</li> <li>Opposites attract</li> <li>One night only</li></ul> More from the Claw Haven series by Isabelle Taylor: <ul> <li>Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf&nbsp;(book 1)</li> <li>Christmas with a Chimera&nbsp;(book 2)</li> <li>Only One for the Orc&nbsp;(book 3)</li> <li>Snowed In with an Incubus&nbsp;(book 4)</li> <li>The Dragon's Fake Date&nbsp;(book 5)</li></ul>

A Cozy Fantasy Romance

Only One for the Orc

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! DELUXE EDITION-a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a case stamp, and designed endpapers! Both epic and intimate, These Immortal Truths is an enchanting and romantic historical fantasy that explores not only what it means to live forever, but what it means to truly live at all. "Did I not tell you, Anna? Death will not come for you." Anna is used to hunger and hardship. Ever since the pale shadows on her skin were mistaken for leprosy, she has lived alone in exile, each day focused only on survival. Then a single act of kindness towards a beautiful stranger changes her life forever. Suddenly, neither time nor harm can touch her, and Anna strives to embrace a life with boundless potential, one that isn't only about survival. But as decades and centuries pass, she is continually forced to abandon each new life before it has the chance to feel like home. The only constant in her eternal existence is Khiran-the shapeshifting god who gave her immortality. No matter the years or distance, he always finds her when she most needs him. But there is more to immortality than Anna knows, and as she travels the ages, she will discover the beauty-and cost-of a life without end.

 ***Leseprobe***

 

 Obwohl er nicht fest zudrückte, fühlte sich mein Hals auf einmal ganz eng an, das Blut rauschte lauter in meinen Ohren, und mir wurde schummrig zumute. Ich wollte wütend auf ihn sein, ihn hassen für das falsche Spiel, das er mit mir spielte, doch zu meiner Überraschung konnte nicht einmal der verfluchte Teil von mir solche Gefühle für ihn empfinden. Genauso wenig konnte er verhindern, dass mein Blick wie von selbst hinab zu Spades' Lippen wanderte ...

 

 Eine Reaktion, die ihm nicht entging. Ein verführerisches Lächeln umspielte seine Mundwinkel, und mit seinem Griff zwang er meinen Kopf in den Nacken, sodass es nur noch eine winzige Bewegung gebraucht hätte, um unsere Münder miteinander verschmelzen zu lassen. 'Und die zweite Regel lautet', raunte er. 'Je mehr du mich von dir wegstößt, desto härter werde ich in dich stoßen, sobald sich mir die Gelegenheit dazu bietet.'

 

 Mein Fluch setzte sofort ein, und ich verengte die Augen. 'Du wirst niemals die Gelegenheit bekommen.'

 

 Spades verzog keine Miene. 'Mach dir nichts vor. Ich kann deine Seele sehen. Und ich sehe, wie sie anfängt zu glühen, wenn du mit mir sprichst. Wenn ich dich berühre. Ich weiß genau, was du willst, und ich werde es dir geben. Früher oder später.' Seine Lippen teilten sich leicht, als sein Blick über meine glitt. 'Ich werde mich in dir versenken. Ich werde in dir untergehen.'

Urban Dark Romantasy zwischen Liebe und Hass im Schattenreich

My Soul to Keep

From USA TODAY bestselling author Chloe Liese, a clever and heartwarming rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Annabel Monaghan about two best friends who must fake a relationship for their exes. Thea and Alex have three things in common—they love food, they hate where they live, and they’re both divorced. Otherwise, they couldn’t be more different. Thea’s never cooked a day in her life. Alex is a world-class chef. Alex resents feeling stuck in his hometown. Thea resents the town for not feeling more like home. Thea and her ex are in a contentious custody battle for their dog. Alex and his ex amicably coparent their daughter. Beyond a few friends in common, a couple small-world connections (welcome to life in a mid-size city), their lives look nothing alike. Fast forward two years, and they’re truly the best of friends. No one would ever know their friendship began as a lie… Two years ago, their exes got together immediately following their divorces, and somehow, Thea and Alex found themselves spinning a spite-fueled story about being old friends and first loves. Two years later, what began as a ruse has grown into real friendship—just friendship, despite what friends and family seem to think. But when their exes invite them on a two-week, “two family” beach vacation—daughter and dog included—Alex and Thea start to wonder if this story they’ve spun might have gotten away from them, and if it’s led them to the last place they ever thought it could: a happy ending.

Happy Ending

A conflicted villain and his unstoppable bride form the realm’s most chaotic alliance in this riotously funny dark romantasy perfect for fans of Assistant to the Villain, but darker and spicier. “What’s mine stays mine.” Step One: Kidnap someone cute. Step Two: Force her into marriage. Step Three: Try not to catch feelings. When Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose kidnaps Lady Arabella for a forced marriage, he expects an obedient, trembling bride. What he gets is a knife to the throat and a furious woman with demands of her own. He may need her heroic bloodline to achieve ultimate dominion, but she’s not about to make this easy for him. Arabella has already survived her father’s tower prison and a lifetime of being treated like property. Getting abducted by the realm’s most notorious villain is just another Tuesday. If she must be married to the infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) Dark Lord, she’ll do it on her terms: freedom within his fortress, hands strictly to himself, and complete honesty about his plans. But when those plans go awry, Kazimir faces his most terrifying challenge yet: he must date his own wife. Between magical training sessions, playing golf with the eyeballs of his enemies, and aphrodisiac dinners gone spectacularly wrong, his attempts at villainous seduction are failing at every turn. As Kazimir and Arabella navigate magical explosions and jealous exes, they discover a far more terrifying prospect than war or magical catastrophe: They might actually be falling for each other. This dark and sexy fantasy romance is perfect for readers who love: a morally gray antihero (who stays that way); a strong heroine who embraces her dark side (she doesn’t need rescuing, thanks); the touch her and die trope; hilarious, wicked banter and sizzling spice; one bed/forced proximity; kidnapped bride/forced marriage; and dark humor.

Secret Projects

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a legendary standalone novel that navigates the seas and the stars of a far-future Cosmere. Illustrated by Esther Hi'ilani Candari. All his life, Sixth of the Dusk has been a traditional trapper of Aviar-the supernatural birds his people bond with-on the deadly island of Patji. Then one fateful night he propels his people into a race to modernize before they can be conquered by the Ones Above, invaders from the stars who want to exploit the Aviar. But it's a race they're losing, and Dusk fears his people will lose themselves in the effort. When a chance comes to sail into the expanse of the emberdark beyond a mystical portal, Dusk sets off to find his people's salvation with only a canoe, his birds, and all the grit and canniness of a Patji trapper. Elsewhere in the emberdark is a young dragon chained in human form: Starling of the starship Dynamic. She and her ragtag crew of exiles are deep in debt and on the brink of losing their freedom. So when she finds an ancient map to a hidden portal between the emberdark and the physical realm, she seizes the chance at a lucrative discovery. These unlikely allies might just be the solution to each other's crises. In their search for independence, Dusk and Starling face perilous bargains, poisonous politics, and the destructive echo of a dead god. Sanderson expands his thrilling novella "Sixth of the Dusk" into a mythic novel of legends, lore, and warring galactic superpowers.
