by Lisa ShearinNew from "a definite star on the rise." (LINNEA SINCLAIR) My name is Raine Benares. Until last week I was a seeker--a finder of things lost and people missing. Now I'm psychic roommates with the Saghred, an ancient stone with cataclysmic powers. Just me, the stone, and all the souls it's ingested over the centuries.

To sort things out, I head for the Isle of Mid, home to the most prestigious sorcery school, as well as the Conclave, the governing body for all magic users. It's also home to power- grubbing mages who want me dead and goblins who see me as a thief. As if that's not enough, Mid's best student spellsingers are disappearing left and right, and I'm expected to find them. Lives are at stake, goblins are threatening to sue, mages are getting greedier, and the stone's power is getting stronger by the hour. This could get ugly.

Armed in Her Fashion
by Kate Heartfield“Heartfield’s impressive novel tells the story of folklore figure Mad Meg (or Dull Gret), who legendarily led a group of women to pillage hell” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In 1328, Bruges is under siege by the Chatelaine of Hell and her army of chimeras—humans mixed with animals or armor, forged in the deep fires of the Hellbeast. At night, revenants crawl over the walls and bring plague and grief to this city of widows. Margriet de Vos learns she’s a widow herself when her good-for-nothing husband comes home dead from the war. He didn’t come back for her—in fact he moves right past her, pulls a secret chest of coins and weapons from under his floorboards, and goes back through the mouth of the beast called Hell. Margriet killed her first soldier when she was eleven, and she’s buried six of her seven children. She’ll do anything for Beatrix, her last surviving child, even if it means raiding Hell itself to get her inheritance back. Beatrix is haunted by a dead husband of her own, and blessed—or cursed—with an enchanted distaff that allows her to control the revenants and see the future. Together with a transgender man-at-arms who has unfinished business with the Chatelaine, a traumatized widow with a giant water-powered forge-hammer at her disposal, and a wealthy alderman’s wife who escapes Bruges with her children, Margriet and Beatrix forge a raiding party like Hell has never seen. “A strange, compelling, genre-bending debut . . . Part horror, part fantasy, part history, and part epic, it combines all of its elements into a commentary on gender, power, and patriarchy.” —Tor.com
Armer Heinrich, reicher Heinrich - Deutscher Heinrich: Die literarische Karriere eines Namens im neunzehnten Jahrhundert
by Rebecca RichterDer Eigenname ist als sprachliches Phänomen Gegenstand vielfältiger wissenschaftlicher Betrachtung. In der Literatur erfüllt er seine Funktion unter anderem durch sein assoziatives Potenzial, das im Einzelwerk herauszuarbeiten eine literaturwissenschaftliche Grunddisziplin darstellt. Nun wird die deutsche Literatur des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts von einem einzelnen Namen in auffälliger Weise dominiert, nicht nur ob seiner Häufigkeit, sondern vor allem durch die prominente Platzierung in den großen und größten Werken dieser Zeit. Heinrich von Ofterdingen steht neben Heinrich Faust, der grüne Heinrich neben der Königlichen Hoheit Klaus Heinrich. Dabei ist der Eigenname per definitionem zu keiner Zeit ein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Rebecca Richter zeigt, dass der deutsche Herrschername schlechthin durch das neunzehnte Jahrhundert zum deutschen Dichtermythos erweitert wird, dem Künstler-Ich, das in einer sich modernisierenden und ökonomisierenden Welt entweder flüssig wird, oder sich verflüchtigt: Die Anlage zu beidem bringt Heinrich bereits im Namen mit.
Armi & bagagli (serie Armi & bagagli #1)
by Madeleine Urban Abigail Roux Cornelia GreySerie Armi & bagagli, Libro 1Una serie di omicidi affligge la città di New York. L'FBI e la polizia brancolano nel buio: si sospetta che il killer sia uno solo, ma gli indizi sono talmente scarsi e indecifrabili da non fornire alcuna pista. Quando a rimetterci le penne sono due agenti del Bureau, però, il caso diventa di importanza vitale per l'FBI. L'agente speciale Ty Grady è reduce da un incarico sotto copertura finito molto male. È arrogante e litigioso, ma è anche il migliore in quello che fa. Quando però lo mettono in coppia con l'agente speciale Zane Garrett, è odio a prima vista. Garrett è l'agente modello: serio, sobrio e devoto -- il che rende la loro collaborazione la classica accoppiata 'sbirro buono-sbirro cattivo', gli opposti complementari. Entrambi gli agenti capiscono, da subito, che la vera difficoltà del caso non sarà l'assenza di indizi, quanto il dover lavorare insieme. Appena arrivati sul posto, però, l'assassino colpisce ancora -- e questa volta il mirino è puntato su di loro. Costretti a fuggire e a nascondersi, e al tempo stesso decisi a scovare l'uomo che li ha presi di mira, Grady e Garrett devono trovare il modo di lavorare insieme -- e alla svelta, se non vogliono diventare altre due tacche sul coltello dell'assassino.
Arminius: The Limits of Empire
by Robert FabbriAD 9: In the depths of the Teutoburg Wald, in a landscape riven by ravines, darkened by ancient oak and bisected by fast-flowing streams, Arminius of the Cherusci led a confederation of six Germanic tribes in the annihilation of three Roman legions. Deep in the forest almost 20,000 men were massacred without mercy; fewer than 200 of them ever made it back across the Rhine. To Rome's shame, three sacred Eagles were lost that day. But Arminius wasn't brought up in Germania Magna—he had been raised as a Roman. This is the story of how Arminius came to turn his back on the people who raised him and went on to commit a betrayal so great and so deep, it echoed through the ages.
