Det finns inte längre tid för undervisning och förberedelser på Basgiath. Striden är här, och den hotar att förgöra allt. Men hoten kommer inte bara utifrån - Violet bär på en hemlighet som kan påverka stridens riktning och i en värld där lojalitet är lika sällsynt som fred är det omöjligt att veta vem hon kan lita på.<br/><br/>När Navarre står på randen till kollaps måste Violet ge sig ut på jakt efter räddningen. Där, i främmande land, finns en chans att samla de allierade som kan rädda det hon älskar mest av allt. De behöver kraft och en armé. Och de behöver något som bara Violet kan hitta, men att avslöja vad det är kan kosta henne allt. Och medan stormen rycker närmare står en sak klar: inte alla kommer att överleva.

Iron Flame Special Deluxe Edition (Wing and Claw) [Bok / Inbunden]

The tale of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.

<b>They told her to go to Hell.<br/> She went, but on her own terms.</b><br/> Lily isn't exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined: Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.<br/><br/> As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell's demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.<br/><br/> Lily's expectations are subverted every day in Hell-especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust.<br/><br/> Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they've known and everything that could be...unless they fight like Hell to stop it.<br/> <br/><b>This debut novel from BookTok sensation Jaysea Lynn invites you to lose yourself in a world where love ignites in the unlikeliest of places, magic defies the rules, and the Afterlife proves more thrilling than anyone could imagine.</b>

<b>A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, this is a groundbreaking collaboration between <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the team behind the upcoming Netflix film <i>Damsel</i>, starring Millie Bobby Brown.</b><br/><br/> <i>A price must be paid.</i> <br/><br/>Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. As she grew up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for Elodie's hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, Elodie is quickly taken in by the beauty of the realm-and of her betrothed, Prince Henry. <br/><br/>But as Elodie undertakes the rituals to become an Aurean princess, doubts prick at her mind as cracks in the kingdom's perfect veneer begin to show: A young woman who appears and vanishes from the castle tower. A parade of torches weaving through the mountains. Markings left behind in a mysterious V. Too late, she discovers that Aurea's prosperity has been purchased at a heavy cost-each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a hungry dragon. And Elodie is the next sacrifice. This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading hundreds of women to their deaths. But the women who came before Elodie did not go quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and their experiences hold the key to Elodie's survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea's past, and save not only herself but the future of her new kingdom as well.
